fades away into utter forgetfulness and woman enters the New Era of her life where, crowned with life's sweetest consummationMotherhood-she reigns royally a Queen in the home where all delight to pay her the true and only homage the devotion of loving, loyal hearts. In her true sphere woman reigns by virtue of her divine right. She is neither the spoiled and petted "darling" nor the drudge and slave of overwork; she is as much at home in the chemical laboratory, commonly called kitchen, as she is in the library; she can fulfill her position as hostess about the dining table quite as completely as she can entertain her royal guests in the drawing room; she may write a poem in order to express an inspiration, or paint a picture to give out a beautiful object lesson, and yet these accomplishments do not rob her of the ability to look after the culinary department, nor hinder her in overlooking the laundry and garden the Ideal woman represents complete ness. The horizon of her sphere expands from realm to realm until perfection is reached. Above all else she is the sweet fragrant blos som of noble, exalted womanhood; she reigns thru her own native virtues, modesty and love. She draws about her, her own charmed circle, by virtue of relationship, refinement, graciously adorned by Nature's own embellishments; she stands crowned by all that heaven and earth has to bestow-God's noblest creation, a womanly woman. LOVE AND LIFE Consummation of a true marriage can only take place where love and freedom reign. As soon as the thot goes forth from either one or the other, "you are mine, all mine," then already the seeds of inharmony have been sown. Placing limitations upon one another is equal to stunting further growth and development and soon love languishes and flees, seeking more congenial soil upon which it may shine and radiate its beauty. Who does not enjoy looking upon a beautiful, well kept garden? It took great care and attention to make it so; likewise the garden known as the home, must have loving thot and devotion imparted or the tender plants of love will wither and die; for the beautiful plant called love, must be watered with unselfish ness. Thotful consideration on the part of one another is most essential for the furtherance of healthy, wholesome domestic felicity. Indifference and unkindness will wither and blight the strongest, tenderest and most devoted love-plant. Jealousy, that heinous canker-worm of felicity of all evil intent, is the worst. Just as surely as it is given recognition it will inject its venomous taint into the very heart, poisoning and curdling the blood, paralyzing the holiest and most sacred emotions of love and engendering thots of doubt and suspicion, instilling the mind of the innocent with fear, tending toward evil and crime. Jealousy closes the door to all that is good and opens the gate to everything that is evil and degraded. Love seeks an object upon which it may bestow its hidden treasures. Love is like a veiled Goddess, only those who can command; those who can inspire; those such as have power to attract the subtle emanations love, can fall under the beneficence of that divine emotion. Love has its anchorage in the Soul, but is born of the Spirit power to imbue life with that signal charm which outshines the lustre of the sun, moon and stars. Love is God. NATURE'S PROCESS In the work of bodily growth and that of tissue and cell building, it requires thot and study as well as intelligent food selection. Food taken into the stomach turns into chime, from chime into chyle, when it is taken up by absorbants into the veins where thru the subtle action known only to nature, it is converted into blood and carried by the circulation to every part of the system. Blood is the life and the circulation transmits this nourishing fluid to every atom, molecule and cell of the body while the heart acts as the pumping station from whence the circulation receives power to perform its work. From the heart the blood is sent thru the pulmonary arteries to the lungs where it undergoes a marvelous transformation being changed into a bright red color, after which it returns to the heart again when it is pumped thru the arteries to the very extremity of the body. The more vitalizing and nourishing the food qualities, the purer and richer the blood. Poor food, unwise selection and wrong combinations, affects the circulation and impairs the blood, causing diseases to take rootage in the body and thus the work of disintegration sets in to destroy the most wonderful of all structures the temple of the Living God. The blood comprises eighty percent water, which is known as serum, and twenty percent solid matter. Three kinds of life-giving organism inhabits the blood: first, the globulines which are converted into the white corpuscles and these are again converted into the red corpuscles; the latter contains the elements of nutrition from which proceeds the transformation of tissue building. The lungs are nature's laboratory where the subtle transmutation of color takes place among the corpuscles; the white ones coming in touch with the oxygen that has been breathed in from the atmosphere and thru its vivifying power they are changed into red. The temperature of the body is maintained by means of oxygen which produces a slow process of combustion. Thru the innumerable air cells of the lungs oxygen enters the |
