only be this type when she doesn't

One Way of Spelling Man.
| IL you want to know the truth. In
nine cases out of ten wife does more
harm by earning money than good
The chief effect is to make man
consider himself wronged. and very
justly 50, by losing his home atmos-
phere, for wife cannot attend to her
home and to her business, too. if she
is in an Office all day. And the second
effect is that she loses interest in her
appearance and good looks. which are
the principal asset in any woman
when you come right down to it.
Personally I would rather be good
looking woman than a clever one any
day. and think that's just the way
the men feel about us too.
While on the subject of wives let
me say this: 1t is a great mistake to
be too economical. Women are ex-
trenists. They either spend every
thing in sight or they count every car
fare, every olive, every radish.
I have heard of women who began
to save by appropriating all their
husbands earnings. leaving nothing in
the family scheme of expenses for
amusement or improvement I heard
the husband of such woman exclaim
after he had attained a fortune: Yes.
my wife helped me. and we are now
rich, but I paid the price. She sacri-
feed everything. For years we did not
go out a single evening. We never
bought any new books or magazines.
We never went to the theater or took
an outing NV wife ALWAYS looked
shabby, so that was ashamed of her
Would have it happen over again ?

fee was too great. It was a living

A nasty jerk causes her to exclaim
sharply, and the aeronaut explains that
he has taken too sharp a turn around
a high point, but that nothing of con-
sequence has happened. And so mi
lady flies swiftly to the house where
she is due at little luncheon party.
After lunch the various aeroplanes
call for their respective owners. why
not a race in the air?" cries mi1ady.
All smiles and excitement, up in the
air the occupants soar in gayly colored

shouts of laughter from the contest

that when in full flight it suggests

for very slight contretemps with a

death. To treat a patient suffering
from shock lower the head and admin
lister stimulants until the heart action
is revived. Heat should be applied to
the pit of the stomach and the ex-
tremities. Brandy and water is the
best stimu1ant where there is nausea,
or hot tea, coffee or beef tea may be
used if the patient can retain it.
When the clothing takes fire pres
ence of mind will often prevent very
serious mishaps. Much the worst
thing person can do is to run Shrek

every child does. 1t would be a wise
precaution for mothers to give little
talk to their youn gsterS before the great
day on first aids and impress upon
them the Importance of keeping their
mouths shut if the clothes should be-
come ignited, for the greatest danger
comes from inhaling the flames. They
should be told to lie down and roll
about them whatever heavy wooden
object happens to be in reach. Even
a wooden coat is better than nothing.
When covering a person whose clothes
are af1ame be sure to begin at the head

The woman who has made study
of this need never stint her husband in
order to keep within the limits of heI
allowance.
For breakfast and for lunch she
uses odds and ends, making the dinner
a substantial meal with good steak
or roast, fresh green vegetables and a
dessert of fruit.
A Noble Possession.
I have heard women say they could
not afford to have salad for dinner
when a head of lettuce costs only from
to 10 cents and much more than
that small amount was wasted In the
kitchen in a single morning.
The finest quality a woman can have
is a proper pride in herself. Women
who possess this quality very seldom
have difficulties, matrimonial or other
wise 1t is the cowardly. poor spirited
woman who is imposed upon. You
know how it is with horse-the min
ute you show fear or even the fact
that you have no confidence in your
self it is all up with you. Well, it is
the same with a man. AS long as you
respect and believe in yourself so long
will he do the same.
HousecIeanins Advice.
This is the time of the year when
housekeeping Is about over and a
train of nervous wrecks marks its
passing.
Believe me, no house should be al
lowed to get so filthy that it requires
such exhausting overhauling
Don't accumulate, my friend. That
is the remedy.
Don't accumulate either trash or
dust or antiquated notions. Be sim
pie. Have fewer things, but keep what
you have in speckless order and up to
date in every respect.

Sufferers.
Sufferers.

As Mrs. Rice. the suppression OF
"a unnecessary noise advocate
has not succeeded in divert
A n ing American patriotism from
expressing itself on the Fourth of July
by means of explosives of various
kinds, there is every reason to believe
that the casualty list of our national
holiday viii line up in length with
those of preceding years. Careless
ness on the part of parents, disobe-
dience on the part of young America
and greed on the part of dealers are
responsible for most of the accidents
that the celebration of Independence
day brings forth. If children were
properly protected from the use of toy
pistols. giant firecrackers and other
dangerous noise making devices But
why talk Of things as they ought to
be? II were better to accept them as
they are and TO give a few fnstruc-
tions to mothers who are apt to lose
their heads when Johnnie or Molly Is
badly burned
We all know that the best treatment
for the Fourth of July accident Is. TO
use a FIfbernianism, to guard against It.
But when the inevitable does happen
and in case of serious injury the man

probably death. A calm, COOL SELF

time becomes an angel OF mercy not
only to the victim, but to his distracted
family
In dealing with burns. both super
aecial and severe. it is well to bear in
mind that immediate exclusion of air
from the wounded surface will greatly
relieve the sufferer. Should the injury
consist merely of a reddening of the
skin the best method is to sprinkle it
thiclly with bicarbonate of soda, then
bandage it with a wet cloth till the
burning sensation is allayed. AS soon
Is relief is obtained the inflamed skin
may be protected from the action OF
the air bv painting it with the white
of egg. The first layer of egg being
dried, apply a second and third.
When the burn is of a more serious
nature and the cuticle has been DIS
tered or destroyed, quickly give the
wound a coating of vaseline or, better
still, one of olive oil. Disfguring scars
are often the result of such injuries,
but skillful attention will do great
deal to prevent this possibility.
Injuries from toy pistols that are

the skin is broken from such an acct

have entered the cut. The affected
part should be cauterized as soon as
possible If one has a bottle of car

is easily done by dipping a toothpick
or match stick in the acid and apply

those who like to work and
those who don't.
You can tell them apart mile off.
The woman who likes to work
usually looks like thunder when she
has pretty clothes. She wears them in
an absentminded way. and you all
know what I mean by that Clothes
are utterly dead and without meaning
unless some life is impaired to them
by the wearer.
The woman who loves to work never
thinks of her clothes. The woman who
hates to work always bears them in
mind; consequently she always pre-
sents good appearance.
The woman who hates to work gen.
orally has a husband. You see, he is
necessity. She gratis on him the
livelong day and makes him do every
thing for her. And yet he is perfectly
happy, because, thanks to her being SO
lazy, she is good to look upon. Her
skin is satin smooth and her eyes I'M
troubled. She is never too tired to be
amusing She has sweet and cooling
ways. She is never hurried or dusty
or tired.
But the other woman?
Wen, she usually has a husband,
100, but he is rather in the way than
otherwise. She is very clever quite as
clever as he is, and her interests are
quite as numerous as are his. So you
see she is pretty nearly always hurried
and dusty and tired. She is too, SEN
sib1e to have cooling ways, and she
scornS powder and such artfulness.
She helps her husband and is very
kind and reasonable in her demands
on his purse. But is he grateful and
happy on this account?
No, indeed. He would rather she took
his last cent with a sweet kiss than
to be as Independent as she is. He
wants to have a fuss made over him.
He wants to be thought the whole
thing. He likes to have a wife he can
be proud of. who looks as young and
