SqQahbIing the Cause of u

A magistrate who has taken unon
himself the difficult task of adiusting
domestic troubles says that nottv
squabbles break up more homes thon
afffnities ever could do He has NJ
mercy for wife-beaters and is skAnF
cal concerning the influence of g.
called soulmates on the average mia
die class household, which he stout,v
maintains is moral. In the strongest
terms he condemns nagging and
squabbling and sounds a warniro
against the effects of overwork, He ic
not the only person who believes that
in ordinary cases of faithlessness the
cause can be found in a cloudy home
atmosphere. Bickering is shamefuIIy
common and the causes too trivial to
give an excuse fer wasting breath.

AS INTELLECTUAL AS OF OLD
Boys of To-Day Are at Least as Smart
as Their Ancestors.

1t is often asserted nowadays that
our young men and women attain in.
tellectual maturity much later than
did their parents and grandparents,
and in support of this theory the pre-
cocity of distinguished personages
who fourished a generation or two
ago is cited. Now somebody, who
has probably been bored, like the rest
of us, with this yarn about the phe-
nomenal brightness of the old-fash-
Toned boys, has looked up the records
of II leading colleges to see what
changes have taken place in the age
of graduates. From 1850 to 1860 the
average age at graduation was %
years 1.3 months. From 1890 to 1900
it was 23 years 1.9 months. In 1870
years at Dartmouth the average age
at graduation has fallen three months.
This average age, it appears, has
changed as little as the average wealth
er. Thus one or two precocious
youths of the long ago are sufficient
to endue all their contemporaries with
the same qualities. But the fact is,
the twentieth century boy is smarter
than any of his predecessors, and Gum
fortunately in nine cases out of ten
he knows 1t.

To Remove 0dor of Fish

"Put teaspoonful of mustard
in the dish in which fish has been
cooked, partly fill with warm
water, and let stand for few
minutes, says WoMAN's HOME
COMPANION for January. "Scrape
and rinse it and no odor will re-
main. If the hands are first
rinsed in a little mustard water,
and then washed, the disagreeable
odor that remains from washing
dishes in which fish have been
cooked will at once entirely dis.

Molasses and SUGAR,

The term "molasses" is properly an.
piled to the saccharine product which
is separated from sugar in the process
of manufacture. A syrup is the direct
product of the evaporation of the
juice Of a sugar-yielding plant or tree
without the removal of any of the
sugar. The term molasses applies to
the same process with the exception
of the fact that the sugar has been re.
moved at least partially by crystalliza,
ton and some kind of mechanical sep.
aration of the crystals from the re.
naming liquid.

Bad Novels.

Novels have deteriorated lamenta-
bly,, the paying book now being either
the wildly sensational or the insidious-
ly wicked; incidents that formerly
were named with bated breath being
openly written of and blazoned
abroad, for gain Of gold, and too often
by women. 1t is difficult to find a

moderns, who furnish us with little

which, as has been well said, serves

OPTION GIVEN ON EVERETT RESORT
Stock Company Being Formed to Pur.
chase This Popular Resort.-Great
Improvements Contemplated.

Negotiations are under way for
the transfer of the Everett Resort
property. An option having been
given to allow time for the per
lection of plans by the intending
purchasers.
The established and thrifty
business, which the Everett
Resort enjoys as the result of
twelve years of growth, would be
greatly increased by enlargement
and the introduction of special
features designed and adapted to
fit in especially we'll with the pres
eut attractions of the place and
locality
This move accents the rapid de-
velopment of this region in this
direction and would undoubtedly
be of great value to the commun-
ity. If the deal goes through, Mr..
Everett will remain with the pur
chasers the first season, to give
them all the assistance he can IN
the new project.
If it does not mature, we still
have the Everett Resort.

SHYINC AT POSTAL SAVINGS
BANK SPOOKS.

Resolved. That the National Board
OF Trade recommends 10 the Congress
lhe enactment OF such legislation as
viii provide for the establishment OF
with the plan. outlined by the Post
master General in his last annual re-
port provided due safeguards be en-
plOyed 20 avoid attracting drposits
from banking and savings Institu-
tionsi and provided said postal banks
can be operated without loss 10 the
Government.
Here Is Endorsement OF the postal
savings banks project from source
as fairly representative OF business
thought in America, in all probability,
IS any which could be found. Here is
also, in the same instrument. the cx-
preston Of the one objection now be-
ing seriously urged against the project.
This resolution is an cpitome of the
savings bank situation.
Opposition from the banks is hard TO
understand. Postal savings are not the
savings which ordinarily go to non
governmental houses They are the
savings which rust IN the ground. or lie
ldle IN stockings and teapots. The
other day a woman was found with
500 in a paper bag. Another woman
sent 500 sewn mp in a black skirt 10
q publisher in whom she trusted. These
are the sources from which money goes
to postal banks, and the theory OF such
banks is that when such money has
been entrusted TO the Government il
shall be redeposited by the Government
with the very banks that now get alb
s0iutelv or nearly none OF it.
What would attract deposits from
banking and saving institutions E"
Only two things-higher interest or
greater security. Inc latter cannot
operate 90 convey TO the postal banks
from any one person under the pro
posed law, more than a total Of $500,
exclusive Of accumulated interest. Tne
former is aH impossibility under law
which limits the rate OF interest TO be
pald at 2 per cent.
Saving is a habit It's first fruit is
The Washington times., 1909-01-27

thrift. The thrift which would keep
money on deposit with the Government
at ? per cent when safe banks, Inc very
banks which the Government would
trust with this very money, are ready
to pay 3, 4, or . per cent, is impossible
to imagine.
There seems to have been more fear
that all the banks possible might not
profit through beng named as deposit
aries for postal savings funds than that
the Government would lose by its pro
posed banking venture Yet there Is
interest in noting how secure the Treas
ury will he. Thus, there is not a single
proposed amendment to the law pro
viding that the postal savings deposits
may be redeposited in designated non
Government banks which does not also
provide that the rate of interest to be
paid the Government for the use of this
money shall not be at least one-fourth
per cent higher than the rate the Gov
ernment as to pay its depositors.
The bankers have been shying az
spooks. And now the National Board
of Trade, though it hnows the thing is
only a scare-crow. thinks it just as well
TO make sure by waiting until some
body shall go up and shake the straw
from under its hat
