Monotony Break. Them Down.


If the figures are reliable which ara
repeatedly publIsbed-that of the in
mates Of insane hospitals farmers
wives constitute a larger per cent than
any other single class of people-it
would seem to be worth while to In
quire into some of the causes which
are respons BILE for this condition.
While all farmers wives who do their
share of the work have their time pref
ty fully occupied, 1t would not seem to
be this so much as lack of change and
variety that is responsible for the men
tai depression referred TO. Because of
household responsibilities which the
good wife cannot well escape from she
leaves the house less seldom than her
husband, who goes to market with
grain or stock. On this account every
effort should be put forth to give her
variety and change and relief from
her household cares as often as Is prac-
ticabe. Before the hair grows silver
on the temples and the shoulders are
stopped with overwork the consider
ate husband, son and daughter will do
all they can to relieve the mother of
the heavy burdens which she has
borne so long and uncomplainingly.

appreciate 1t will be sweeter to her
