1ieve it by scratching with the tongue,
and, as it is impossible to scratch the
brain itself, he or she tries to allay
the irritation by scratching the near
est individual.
1.-THE BRAIN" says this scientist, can
be irritated just the same as the skin
by body poisons due to fatigue, worry
and illness. Nagging is the effort to
relieve the subconscious itching of
brain nerves and cells. 1t more often
occurs in women than in men. Not on
account of an inferior nature or lesser
control over temper, but because
woman is more sensitive to brain lr-
ritation, has fewer opportunities to re-
lieve her feelings and impulses.
"To return to the analogy of nag
jging skin. If you continue to give way
to 1t, to scratch it and tear it, a sore
soon appears and finally ulcers. The
skin nagging is fastened upon you and
you are unfit for work or companion

Shaping back at the skin you discover
the cause of the irritation and get rid

ito Cease Saying Hateful Things a
Sure Cure For Nagging.
"Then you become the chronic nag
ger The remedy for this is to quit
scratching the brain by means of say
ing hateful things to those about you
and to find out what causes the brain
irritation and relieve that This can
often be done by simple medical
treatment, or by change of scene or
some slight diversion, even a walk in
the open air.
This scientific theory Of nagging
each of us can confirm from our own
experience. Probably there is no one
who does not know what it is to have
flashed out, in some moment of ply
steal exhaustion, a bitter speech that
he or she would have given worlds to
have recalled the next instant, or who
doesn't experience the temptation it is
to harp on old grievances when one is
half sick and nervous, and unstrung.
Nagging is at the bottom of almost
all domestic misery. 1t breaks up far
more homes than drink or infidelity.
A woman can, and does, forgive the
husband who looks too often upon the
flowing bowl if he is pleasant and
agreeable at home in the times be-
tween his sprees. A wife is also con-
veniently blind to her husbands side
stepping from the straight and narrow
path if in his own domestic circle he
is courteous, gallant and appreciative.
Likewise a man will put up with deal
of bad housekeeping and pay extrava-
CANT bills without a murmur so long
as his wife is amiable, and good hui
mored, and doesn't try to henpeck him.
But the woman who comes to hate
her husband is she who is married to
the man who is Chief Knocker in the
Amalgamated Hammer Wielders' I'm
ion, and who finds fault with every
thing that she does, or doesn't do. The
woman who kills her husbands love,
and brings him to the place where he
feels that he is entering prison when
he puts his key in his own front door,
Is the perpetual crouch, who frets and
whines, and complains because she
can't have this, and she can't do that,
and her husband does do this, and he
doesn't do that Love will stand every
thing but nagging. When it encounters
that it just turns up its toes and dies.
Heretofore there has seemed to be
no cure for this most common and
deadly enemy of domestic happiness,
but the discovery of this scientist that
nagging is really symptom of a brain
disorder that can be relieved brings a
message of hope to those afflicted
with a nagging husband or wife.
Therefore. madam, if you have a
husband who begins finding fault be-
fore he has hung up his hat when he
comes home of an evening, don't weep
and look upon yourself as martyr.
