DOMESTIC AFFAIRS
Tho "GentIewoman" Announces That
This is the Age Of Obedient
Husband

The Gentlewoman a foreign magazine
generally accepted as an authority In am
matters feminine except the suffrage-forl
the sunragettes are not sufficiently gentle
TO satisfy its ideas Of what the gentle-
woman should be-announces quite de-
cisivey that this is the age OF obedlont
husbands. though the contrary idea almost
everywhere prevails The Gentewomanl
does not cite individual instances of obedi-
ont husbands nor does It assert that docil-
ity Is characteristic OF any particular
class. II simply states the broad fact that
they are "docile TO a degree undreamed
Of In the Middle Ages or even in the Vic.
torian era Of Dundreary whiskers and
baggy trousers" The only explanation Il
gives is that "some obey through love,
some through fear. and others through
desire for peace" il would be extremely
interesting IL we had the statistics show
ing the number belonging to each class,
though probably those In tho third out
number the other two together.
The Tribune has many times in the past
warned men that this very result mem
aced them and would sooner or later over
take them II they did not maintain a
fairs. And now it has come and they them
selves are TO blame Perhaps they have
been 50 engrossed with other matters they
have not realized how their better halves
have been usurplng authority. Perhaps in
thees days OF strenuous effort and fierce
competition they have been too fatigued TO
resist and have thought It best to soncede
an inch and have not observed that an
ell was taken. Perhaps they have been
so blind as not TO see the undermining
processes which have been going on. Prob
ably they would be astonished IL they
knew how many little things TO which
they have paid no attention have helped
to overthrow their authority and make
them vassals-such little things as wo-
mems clubs. bachelor girls clubs. maii-
nees, sheath gowns athletic culture. di-
vorce courts, bargain days. and trifing
concessions on their own part because
they didn't want 10 be bothered. II Is

To Keep Flowers Fresh.

Flowers put in water a. once wilhlast
twice as long as those allowed TO wilt
for an hour. Flowers with woody stems
should be stripped of their outer cover
ings or bark and the end Of the stem
slit up to allow Of their taking up
water freely.
The flowers should never be crowded
together. and a small blt can be cut off
the end OF the stems, adding a little
charcoal each time the water is
changed.

Deafness Cannot be Cured

by local applications. as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the car.
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness Is caused by an infiamed condi-
ton OF the mucous lining of the Eusta-
chan Tube. When this tube is infiamed
hearing, and when il Is entirely closed.
Deafness IS the result, and unless the in
fammatiOn can be taken out and this
tube restored TO its normal condition,
hearing will be destroyed forever: nine
cases out Of ten are caused by Catarrh.
which is nothing but an inflamed condi-
ton of the mucous surfaces.
We vii give One Hundred Dollars for
any case Of Deafness Caused by catarrh)

Modern progress hasn't forgotten the
woman at the tub.
Fels-Naptha proves that.
Time was when medicine wasn't con-
sidered good unless it was strong enough
or tasted bad enough half to choke the
patient
Some folks who don't know about
that new way of washing think that wash
day must be day of seething suds, scaId-
ing water, perspiration and general misery.
But Fels-Naptha is converting these
people who have been tied to the not
good-enough method.
You see there is a way to wash
clothes summer or winter in cool or luke
warm water, way that saves your
strength, your time and your temper, and
preserves the garments from the ruinous,
fibre-destroying boiler.
That way is the FelS-Naptha way.
