What Every Woman Earns

A man is always beside the fact
when he thinks of himself as the sole
provider for the home, and of the
women of his household as simply
consumers.
Every wife, mother or sister is a
wage Garner, although most of them
refuse to be wage-takers.
They lay down their health, some
times their lives, in daily sacrifice
for which they seek no reward, and
no reward is payable.
Every day they give for love what
is not procurable for money In any
amount, says tho Ladies' Home jour
nal. No man can set price on what
a mother does for a child; no pay
mcnt Is adequate for a wife who
makes home "A place of peace by her
watchful care over the toiler when
he wcarily returns TO their home.
What a woman in home earns
and what she is paid are two entirely
different things. For the best that
she is and does there can be no re-
turn IN money: no compensation
other than mans consideration and
| love.

A Love Tangle
Dear Miss Doom

Dear MISS doom:
This is my first letter to you. | am
a young man of eighteen, and am in
high school. Not long ago / fell in

love was reciprocated. We saw each
other often, but she said she did not

the girl will not see me. She says
she has nothing against me, but must
obey her mother What is the best
course for me to pursue? I do not
want to lose her friendship, and L
cannot talk with her mother, as I
cannot answer in her language,
though l can understand her.

The youth of you both makes the
affair rather funny. If / were you 1

girls out of my head. A boy of eigh-
teen has no more idea of the bigness
and greatness of love than a guinea
pig.
Don't think I'm hard-hearted.
Your friend Margery knows what she
is talking about. You'd probably re-
sent it if l said that your love was of
the calf variety, so I'll refrain. Al

1--WE got story"
Tell it," had been the instant re-

wine delicious, the tobacco ire

asked the colonel.
"Who In life knows what the end
of anything is? This is not story
out of a book" Courtlandt accepted
a fresh cigar from the box which
Rao passed to him, and dropped his
dead weed into the ash-bowl.
HAS he given up?" asked Abbott,
his voice strangely unfamiliar in his
own ears.

comes broken. Women are not logi-

Lay them fiat and taut and sponge
with bran water made by boiling
wheat bran for an hour-two quarts
of bran to six gallons of water. Let
it get cool, strain, pressing hard
through cheesecloth; then apply to

When the Iceman
No Longer Calls

Just as soon as the very hot
weather is over an improvsed iceless
refrigerator for the back porch may
be found very satisfactory.
To make one, take a large box and
cover the bottom with layer of
sand.
On this sand place tin pals, tightly
covered, containing the articles of
food.
Pack sand tightly around the pals
and on top. Soak sand with cold
water and as the water evaporates
pour in more.
Two or three lard buckets or
enameled buckets may thus contain
many of the foods usually placed in
the refrigerator.

tine make a good polish for furniture,
