Home Suicide.

The Federation of Women's clubs
has struck at the very root of domes-
tic infelcity by taking up house
keeping and arguing for it as the
one thing upon which the American
home as an institution rests.
Failure on the part of the wife to
properly care for and maintain the
household has often been the fret
step toward the divorce court. Many
a woman, good at heart, has mar
ried the man she loved and brought
to him everything except a know
edge of housekeeping And because
of this one shortcoming has seen
the poison of home neglect enter his

Man naturally regards matrimonv
as a partnership. He makes up his
mind to provide according to his
ability. He expects his wife to ex-
ercise care aud economy over the
things he provides He may love

Neglect of home has filled saloons
