the States to enact law* baaed on
the Jiealth-marrlage Idea.
The enforcements of such lawn
would proven t the marriage of per

marriage those who are deefective in
a pronounced sense and those known
to be intemperate in the use of li
quors and habit-forming druga.
"The health marriages idea present*
a public health question which, can
not be left entirely to the considera
tion of phyalciana," aaid Dr. Uiut
"Nor ia it merely a question for the
attention of ministers. It is a great
aocial problem of vital interest to
every member of society, and is
based on the development ofa better
American citizenship and a nation of
healthier people through 4he pro
tection of women and men and their
offspring against diseases, the exis
tence of which should be given care
ful thought by every person con
templating marriage.
"It would )>e an extremely good
thing if every Btate would hasten
the day when statutes will be adopt
ed which make necessary the pre

fore marriage. That these law?
should be easy of enforcement they
should not, in my opinion, be too
drastic.
"Sentiment will always rule in the
making of marriages, I suppose, but
love with health will make for a far

than love without health. More so
cial problem^ will ho solved by put
ting marriage on a health basis than
in any other way, in my opinion.
"Normal persons are usually hap
py and contented when they are well
and therefore the most effective
check which can be offered for the
divorce evil ia the encouragement
of the marriage of healthy, happy
people.
"The spread of the health mar
riage idea will mean that men par
ticularly will come to think more of
the care of themselves. The day
when thinking people can give even
passive support to the so-called
double standard in rapidly passing.

In Ohio they have found that it pays better to guard against fires than to collec insurance afterward. They believe that if they can J
remove the cause, they can prevent the greater part of the fire damage and loss. They have a department of about 2099 officials who
investigate every fire in the State.- We give some figures from the Ohio State Fire Marshall's report of two years, the latest availably
records. They are accurate and official:

The harmless 'looking Kerosene Oil Can was the cause of 22 fires by explosion, with loss of $64,0 88.00 in Ohio in two years.

Perhaps you are considering the installation of a lighting plant, but are uncertain as to tho relative advantages and disadvantages of Acetylene as compared *1
to a private electric lighting system. The objections to this form of electric lighting are: First: The necessitty of having the plant running at the full coiBt irre- "
spectlve of the number of lights required. Second: Tho ongino must bo attended about once an hour whenever in operation for oiling, etc. Third: The lights vary ]
in intensity as the speed of tho ongino or tho slipping of tho bolt affects the speed of the dynamo. Fourth: The depreciation on such a plant would be from 10 ^
to 3 5 per cent a year. Tho objections to a storage battery are: First: Tho danger of injury to tho plates of ,the battery due to overcharges or allowing the
battery to get too low. Second: Depreciation of at least 10 to 15 per cent with additional heavy charges should JAn accident happen requiring repairs to tho 8 tor- ^
age battery. Third: . Tho expense of an experienced electrician to make repairs. '_T~ , ? ? " *? [ '?
