PiscataquiS Observer: We have a
little advice for young men and it is
not to marry without a full knowledge
of the part the wife should take in the
household cares. When we married il
was with the idea that it was the hus-
hands duty to look after the fires anC
il is only since a stick of furnace wood
fell on our foot. as chronicled recently,
that we discovered our mistake. Our
attention was first called to the error
by physician. man who has held
positions of Importance under the
general government, the State. and the
town. and whose opinion in such mat
ters carries weight. When he noticed
our unfortunate condition and learned
the cause he said at once, You should
let your wife look after the fires
This opened our eyes in a measure to
our mistake but they were fully
opened when we got the opinion of a
lawyer. He. too, is a man of skill ir
his profession and also county
official. He said: No man can afford
to imperil the source of the family's
bread by building the fires as you have
done: you should let your Wife look
after the fire." We are aware that
people do not as a general thing take
kindly to advice, nor often heed it. hut
it seems as if our advice in this matter
backed up as it is by the concurrent
opinions of a doctor and lawyer. ought
to go for something and possibly be the
means of saving some head of a family

Mere Bundles of Nerves

Some peevish, querulous people seem
mere bundles of nerves. The least sound
agitates their sensoriums and ruf1es their
tempers. No doubt they are born so. But

and with Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. BY
cultivating their digestion, and insuring
more complete assimilation of the food with
this admirable corrective, they will expert
ence speedy and very perceptible gain in
nerve quietude. Dyspepsia, bilionsness,
constipation and rheumatism yield to the
Ritters. y
