tions to see whether the mental state
that exists has justification in solid
fact
1T is true, is il not, as one looks over
the country that all the conditions upon
which sound business should rest exist in
full force and vgor? Few win contend
that merchants are overstocked. Rather
is the reverse true. None are so rash
as 10 say oyerspeculation exists. Nay.
on the contrary, the brokers complain of
lack of commissions. Money is not so
scarce that banks refuse legitimate Dor
rowers. The reverse is true. We have
sent large sums abroad of late without
cramping our financial resources. 1t
comes to me from more than one quarter
of the country that men who are pes
simistic in speech are prosperous in pock
ct. Things are not tied up tight when
New York registers more automobiles
than ever before and when that great
industry is pushed to the full.

The Girl Who Marries Man Much Older
Than Herself.

In the "IIome Problem department of
! the June Woman's Home Companion a
woman writes the following letter:
II married a man much older than my
self because | was unselfsh enough to
consider his happiness before my own.
He is very good to me and gives me II
great deal Of money. | am always kind
TO him. but like to 60 out with my old
admirers in the evening. I do not like

am pretty and fascinating, SO ] do not
see why | should not enjoy myself. My
husband thinks I'm selfish. Do YOU?
The editor of the department makes
the following reply:
81 certainly do agree with your hus-
band that Won are extremely selfish. IF
you married him for the sake Of his hap
piness as YOU say. YOU should surely
continue to think Of his happiness now.
1t looks very much to me from your
letter as though YOU had married him
for the sake OF having good time with
your other admirers with the help of
his money YOU, first duty is to your
husband. and unless YOU viii regard
matters in that light you have certainly
done him great injustice in marrying
him."

The Pure Food Laws Failure.

When the pure food and drugs act
went into effect it was hailed as a uni
versal cure-all for our food troubles. As
a matter of fact in spite of its immense
value to us, there are many hindrances
in the way of its proper enforcement
which only time and public spirit can
People in general do not
grasp fully what the food and drugs act
is. Ii is not, for instance, the same in
effect as the meat inspection act. which

of all meat in the big packinghouses
when it is to be shipped in interstate
commerce. Where there are perhaps 600
meat packers, there are thousands and
thousands of concerns engaged in the
or handling of other foods.
1t would be impossible to station in
spectors at every one of these factories.

A little ammonia added to the water

Best Way to Wash Dishes.

A woman who wishes to take care Of
her own china must provide herself with
the proper utensils. Even if she has a
buffers pantry with sink, it is well to
have a dishpan besides. A soap shaker,
long handled dish mop, a soft brush for
cleaning cut glass, brushes and powders
aud chamois for silver cleaning, a bot
tie of household ammonia and plenty of
towels are all essentials, according to
the st. Louis Star.
To wash dishes by the best method
have been them scraped first then rinsed.
The easiest way to do this is under the
hot water tap if one has running water.
Ii not. after they have been scraped and
the worst grease rubbed off with soft
paper. the china and silver should be
piled in dishpan and hot water poured
over them. After this process or the
rinsing under the tap they should be
laid in another dishpan and have their
second cleaning in hot suds-the hotter
