INTERNATIONALS PAGE TERES. MARRY NOT FOR LOVE SAYS MENTAL EXPERT "Marry for money or social posi tion, but not for love." In this startling statement Dan Cu pid has suffered one of the severest body-blows of his career: It was ad dressed by Dr. D. C. Main, veteran alienist af St. Elizabeth's govern ment hospital for the insane, Wash ington. , ' , .. "Love, as the world understands it today," he says, "is simply sex at traction. This leads to thousands of disastrous marriages and many dis astrous marriages lead to insanity." Dr. Main makes these statements in an aDDeal for thS education of thp vminor on matters too long con sidered taboo. Only by teaching young people before they approach the altar just what matrimony is, its obligations, its sacrifices, can unfortunate alliances be averted, he insists. He preaches this doctrine af ter thirtv vears of study of sex hy giene in its relations to mental hy giene. ' ' "Before a man and a maid take "the marriage vows, each should have a full understanding of the marital relations," he asserts. "What virtue is there in the fact that one loves the other unless each knows what is about to be experienced, unless each is willing to bear and forebear? And most important of all, no per son has the right to matrimony un less he expects to become a par ent." In the opinion of the alienist, one should not consider marriage simply, because he is in love. Let him wait. He can love again, perhaps even more deeply. Marriages of persons of the same general temperament should be pre vented, he contends, even though all other factors in the union are fav orable. The alliance is likely to bring forth children who either will die young or will develop insanity, he says. When marriage develops from love, or the sex allure alone, insanity is lurking at the bend of the road, says Or. Main. Soon each begins to see faults in the other. Marriage was not the roseate high road as pictured in the movies. The wife begins to nag at trifles, setting the husband, in many instances, crazy. Or the husband becomes a tyrant, holding the home in pompous contempt, frightening the children and shattering the nervous system of the wife. Dr. Main does not expound the theory that unhappy marriage in itself is a cause - of insanity. Only when the mind is unstable can men tal disease result. However, he asks, what percentage of the world s peo ple, have perfectly stable, normal minds? v "Here is a problem which has faced humanity for generations, and will probably continue," the doctor says. "I believe the solution lies in plain, straight-from-the-shoulder talk to youngsters. Childrenmuat no long er be told 'fairy tales' because the truth is - either 'too vulgar' or 'too sacred to discuss. . They must be divorced from the idea that marriage is founded on love alone, yet they must know that the relationship between man and wife is so intimate and binding that, for safety's sake a deep and sacrificing understanding should lie between. They must be told 'that propagation of the species is not matrimony s. sole excuse, but parent hood is a responsibility to be accept ed gladly. . "In short, teach sex hygiene in con necticn with social and mental hy Kiene. and there will be fewer mar riages for love, and fewer patients in the psychopatic wards." Better far, concludes Dr. Main, to marry frankly for money or prestige than to satisfy a whim that one is "head over heels in love. IT PAYS IF YOU GET PAID FOR IT Raleigh, March 201 Delivery of cotton by members was practically completed this week, and the North Carolina -Cotton Growers Co-operative Association will now concentrate its efforts on making settlement on the basis of sales made to date.' The Spring distribution will be made sometime in April, and ' the checks will be delivered to members by representatives of .the Association instead of being sent through the mails, as was done last time. It was found that , distribution of checks by mail' was unsatisfactory Members will be notified of the arrangements. As soon as the next distribution is made, the cotton co-operatives will put on a membership campaign. This drive is expected to double the meni- bershin. Already applications for membership are being received from many sections.' - ' The Cotton Co-operatives are rep resented this week at the Eastern Carolina Exposition at Wilson with one of the most complete exhibits of the advantages of growing improved cotton and of taking care of it after it is grown that has ever been Bhown m North Carolina. The exhibit was prepared by Fred Haas, expert cot ton grader for the Association. ''It pays to grow good cotton when you get paid for it" s the slogan adopt ed for the exhibit. ; v The co-operatives are co-operating with the State Department of Agri culture in its campaign against the boll weevil, and this week is sending out 34,000 copies of an address re cently delivered in Congress by Hon. Charles L.Abernathy, of New bern, in which he presented some valuable data prepared by Dr. L. O. Howard, distinguished insect specialist of the Federal Department of Agriculture.

Lemmond has ac quired the reputation of being not only a good interpreter of the law, but also a judge who administers the law in a sound common sense way. Sometimes he probes down and makes as quaint a solution of a problem as old Solomon used to do. Some time ago Will Barrett, color ed, was brought before the Judge on a charge of having stolen a lot of cot ton from Mr. Frank Haney of Marsh ville township. The seed were found in his barn and it was shown that he had' sold them -at- a store. Still, he denied stealing them. The judge in structed that two warrants be drawn, one charging receiving and the other larceny. Thereupon Will plead guil ty. On the first charge he was given, sixty days on the roads and on the second five months. Included in the judgment also was the command that Will pay Mr. Haney for the seed which he had stolen and sold. When the sixty days ended on the roads on Monday and the five months sentence was about to begin, it was shown that the family of Will were in distress, so the Judere proceeded to meet that situation. He allowed Will to o on probation.-to work a crop with Ssquire Ben Parker, pay for the seed, look after his family, and come back on the 7th of September to be gin his five months on the chain gang. Nobody knows what is in the mind of the Judge, but it is a good bet that if Will works faithfully in his crop and behaves himself and shows up in .September, he will get a good chunk of that sentence off. Other cases oisnosed of this week by the Recorder were: ; Usear Jordan, col., assault with deadly weapon, $50 and costs. Walter Thomas, col., violation of ordinance 80 and assault with deadly weapon, ten and costs in latter case, not guntv in hrst. ...... M. R. Plyler, ordinance 80, costs. Dock Yow, ordinance 80. costs: as sault and battery, $5 and costs. JNewton Horn, ordinance 80, $5 and costs. Ben Eubanks, speeding, costs. Asbury Harris and Sarah Ander son, both colored, immorality, four months on roads for first and four months in jail for the latter. Frequent Headaches "I suffered with . chronic constipation that would bring on very severe . headaches," says Mrs. Stephen H. Kincer, of R. F.D.I. Cripple Creek, Va. "I tried different medicines and did not get relief. The head aches became very frequent I heard of Bedford's BLACK-DRAUGHT ii and took it for a headache, and Y the relief was very quick, and It was so long oeiore i naa another headache. Now I just keep the Black-Draught, and don't let myself get in that condition," , Thedford's Black-Draught (purely vegetable) has been found to relieve constipation, and by stimulating the action of the liver, when it is torpid, helps to- drive many poisons out of your system. Biliousness, indigestion, headache, and similar troubles are often relieved in this way. It Is the natural way. Benaturall Try Black-Draught .
