Tho superintendent Of the company

Or II may be another. but, according
to the superintendent. such worries are

the importance Of harmony In the home.
Hunaan Lives IT Stake.
Al arst thought, one says that. even

way company to concern itself with the
home affairs Of any Of the men In its
employ and that II seems an unwar-
ranted bit Of supervision.
But serious second thought makes one
understand. though she may not quite
approve. For there are not many places
where there II greater need Of clear
head and an undisturbed mind than .

And when Il comes to worries thar

with their grim menace Of domestic war.
Ono does not always realize Just what

But wait until those two begin to act
