BY DOROTHY DIX

The real problem involved in the
question of whether wife should
earn money outside of the home or not
Is the effect that 1t has on her hus-
band.
If a man is poor, and the wife has
the ability to make money 1t would
seem nothing. but reasonable that she
should do so. and thus add to the
family comfort and property.
If woman has fitted herself to fol-
low some trade or profession whereby
she can earn a good salary 1t seems
nothing more than just for her to con-
tinue to follow it instead of being put
to doing the work of a kitchen maid
for which she has neither training nor
aptitude.
If a woman elects to follow after
marriage some work outside of the
home it seems nothing but fair that
she should pay her own way, as she
gives her husband none of the labor
that a wife ordinarily performs in
the home.
Under present economic and social
conditions there are a thousand good
and valid reasons why the woman who
has followed a gainful occupation be-
fore marriage should continue to fol-
low ii after marriage, If she marries
a man who is poor and struggling.
One Tragic Objection to Wife Working
Is Probable Ruin of Husband
But there is one tragic objection to
it, and that Is that 1t almost invariably
ruins the man. Also in some way that
is utterly beyond feminine comprehen-
sion it seems to kill mans love for
his wife.
leave it to psychologists to ex-
plain this phenomenon of the mascu-
line temperament. 1 can't, but
merely state 1t as a fact that the more
a woman tries to help her husband
and the harder she slaves for him, the
less he cares for her. and the less con-
sideration he shows her.
If you are inclined to dispute this
proposition remember the long line of
dressmakers and clearinghouse keep
ers, and every other class of money
earning women you have ever known
and try to recall one who had a hus-

band that was even ordinarily decent
and kind to her.
On the other hand the more no ac-
count, and demanding, and exacting a
wife is, the more her husband cher
ishes her and INDUCES her. The ideal
wife from a mans point of view ap-
pears to be a milestone about his neck
instead of a ladder by which to climb.
Wife Need Not Expect Gratitude of
Husband. For Aid in Support
Perhaps the woman who can earn
as good salary as her husband, and
who is perfectly capable of taking
care of herself, lacks something of the
clinging vine that a man associates
with femininity, and 80 she does not
make as strong an appeal to his af-
fection.
Perhaps her very ability and compe-
tence to stand alone arouse in him
some vague sense of rivalry and an
tagonism. At any rate it doesn't en-
dear a woman to her husband for her
to make money, and If she expects him
to be grateful to her for helping to
support the family she will find her
self very much disappointed. 1t never
works out that way.
Another unpleasant effect of the
wage earning wife on her husband is
that she kills in him all sense of re-
sponsibihty for a family. The wife
who can support herself almost in
varfably has to do it-and the chill
dren into the bargain, while the man
spends his wages on himself.
This is a common phase of human
nature. We are all inclined to sit
back and let others bear the heat and
burden of the day If they are willing
and able to do it. The man who is
married to a helpless woman knows
that he has got to get out and hustle
to keep bread in the mouths of his
family, and he does it, but If he knows
that his wife will go forth and earn the
family living, he. is mighty apt to
spend his money in the corner saloon:
The statistics of mill towns, where the
women work in factories, show the
men to be the most worthless of the
world
The evil goes even further, and the
man whose wife is a capable money

TRAVELETTE
By NIKSAH
FEZ

Fee, in the distance, is a white spot
in the sun under q sky of luminous
blue, surrounded by the green crop
lands where a wide, lazy river winds
a scene so remotely beautiful that it
seems unreal.
Once inside the gates of this an
ctent African city, the illusion rs quick
ly dispelled, for within Is surglng,
tumultuous life. Odors and sounds
and colors indescribable assau the
senses. All the peoples of Africa
swarm In the streets. There are saw
ages from the Sahara, black as ebony,
gaudily dressed; lighter skinned city
dwellers, chattering Jewish mercnanrs
and their women, who, unveiled and
painted, with their gaudy neaoGresses,
contrast strangely with the wives of
the Mohammedans, yelled and drab,
slipping through the crowd like
ghosts.
There is scarcely tree in rne streets
of, Fee, yet all of them are shaded.
Narrow and dirty they are, nevertne-
less, covered with a trellis work of
vines, making a deep shade on the
thoroughfare with patches or sunlight
falling on the varied, moving crowd
below. Along these arbored streets
are the tiny shops where the merch-
ants squat on the tiled floors, with
their slippers beside them, and all VINO
enter take off their slippers too. There
is no need for the prospective Gus
toner to go in however, for the entire
stock is visible from the street.
Off from the streets lead narrow,
cave-like passages to the quarters of
the various Industries or guilds, for
here weaVers, brass manufacturers,
tanners, soap-makers, marketmen and
honey refiners are all organized into
separate guilds, which belong TO a gen.
eral merchants guild, and this is ruled
by board of four members.
On these shadowy passageways one
sees strange sights, There are the
dyers, for example, bending over. their
vats, lifting great masses or brilliant,
streaming yarn, the bodies of the
workers colored fierce purples ana
reds. Here the Morocco SeaIner is
tanned and colored ana the slippers,
which all the people wear, are made
red for the women and yellow for the
men, some elaborately decorated with
leather and velvet and silver and gold
threads. This leather is reagiy tanned
goatskin and is not nearly r.s good as
the so-called Morocco made in Eu-
rope. Other strange shops you Will
come upon are the tiny scenreu pooths
piled high with rose petals. where Is
distilled the rose water which every
Mohammedan host sprinkles upon his
visitors Here, too, are little estab-
lishments devoted to brewing the great
bowls of mint used to flavor tea.
In the middle of the market place,
in the district known as the Kaisariyeh
stands very old mosque, and tomb.
Here lie the remains and here dwells
the spirit of Moulai Idris, founder and
protector of Fee. The streets there
about are barred with poles. Any
Moslem who takes refuge in this tenn
pie is immune from capture OF punish
ment, and any Jew or Christian VINO
tresspassed upon the sacred ground
would be instantly destroyed.

What Effect las WageEarning WifeonH Home9

Garner, oftener than not becomes
worthless loafer. The danger of pau
perizing a husband is really the great
est one that the business or profess
sional woman faces She doesn't want
to give up her work, and yet she does
not want to see ner husband become
contemplate male parasite.
For If man lacks energy and am
bition, or is fond of his ease, he is
almost certain to drift into depending
on his wife, and letting her support
him If she is a money Garner. The
wife keeps the pot boiling, there's a
comfortable place to stay, and plenty
of good food, whether he works or not,
so he gradually quits working, whereas
! If he would either have had to labor
or starVe, he would have worked.
Trouble Is That While We Have New
Woman, Man Is Same Old Adam
The problem of the wage-earning
wife is one that has come to stay.
Women must either help earn the
family living or else be old maids, be-
cause the average man does not earn
enough under present financial condi-
! tions to support a family in comfort.
Also the millions of girls who have
been trained to gainful occupations are
not willing to give up their good jobs
| anu lllO WOlh llSy hhOb " 6O AAi'O q
poor mans kitchen when they marry
These conditions necessitate a new
adjustment in the whole attitude of
men toward the wage earning wife,
and so the solution of the problem Is
up to the husband.
The trouble with the whole matter
Is that while we have a new woman,
man is still the same old Adam. He
must be made to see that the future
marriage must be q financial partner
ship as well as a union of hearts, that
| it is no more affront to his dignity for
his wife to help him by making money
than 1t Is for her to cook his dinner,
and that the fact that she is willing to
go out into the world to work for their
mutual good should be an inspiration
for his redoubled effort, instead of an
invitation to sit down and smoke while
] she does the work of both.

PAINFUL EFFECT
OF
Rheumatism, GOut, Urinary Calculus

It is now asserted with confidence
that these painful effects due to uric
acid in the system are entirely eradi-
Gated. A new remedy, called "An-uric," "
has been discovered by Doctor Pierce,
which is thirty-seven times more po-
tent than lithia, and is the cause of a
drainage outward of the uric acid with
which 1t comes in contact within the
body. It will ward off backache, head
ache, and the darting pains and aches
of articular or muscular rheumatism
of those diseases which are caused
by too much uric acid, such as gout,
asthma, sciatica. renal calculus. An
uric" prolongs life because old people
usually suffer from hardening and
thickening of the walls of the arteries,
due to the excess of uric acid in the
blood and tissues.
DIR. Pierce, who Is director and chief
physician at the Invalids' Hotel and
Surgical Institute, Buffalo, n. Y, has
Harrisburg telegraph. [volume] (Harrisburg, Pa.) 1879-1948, 1915-08-20

been testing this wonderful medicine
for the relief of overworked and weak
ened kidneys. The relief obtained by
sufferers has been so satisfactory that
hc determined to place "An-uric" with
the principal druggists in town where
people could get this ready-to-use
medicine. "An-uric" is not harmful
or poisonous, but aids nature in throw
ing off those poisons within the body
which cause so much suffering, pain
and misery.
For Diabetes and Bright's Disease
this remedy is building UP a reputation
as good as DR.. Pierce's other we'll
known medicines which have been
proven reliable during nearly fifty
years, such as DR.. Pierce's Favorite
Prescription for the ills of woman
hood, Doctor Pierces Pleasant Pellets,
the liver regulator. and DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery for red
blood

s6I7 Girls Dress, 8 to IA years.

Girls are always interested in any cos
tune that gives a suggestion of the Mill
tary. Here Is frock that can be made
with pockets buttoned over the belt and
with high collar and braid trimming when
1t becomes distinctly soldier-like, or made
with V-shaped neck and without pockets.
In either case, it is a smart little frock,
thoroughly well adapted to Spring and to
Summer. 1t can be made from serge or
other materials of the sort for immediate
wear or from linen, poplin or other wash
able materials for the later season. On
the figure, the blouse is white, while the
skirt and the trimming are blue, but ono
material throughout is quite as fashion,
able. The skirt is simple, plain one,
plated and finished separately, while
the blouse Is buttoned right down the
front. The pockets are eminently con-
venient as we'll as fashionable. Here
patent leather belt is used but one of the
material can be substituted. White and
blue always seems to carry out the Mill
tary suggestion, but frocks of this kind
are made in all colors and If something
more serviceable, but still conveying a
hint OF the prevailing Military idea Is
wanted, khaki-colored galatea could be
used with good effect.
For the II year size will be needed asS
yds. of material 27 in. wide, yds. go,

SEND SEEDS IN EARLY

Persons desiring their field crop
seeds tested for purity and germina-
tion should send them to the State
College not later than March 1st.
1t requires time to make these tests
and they are tested in the order re-
ceived. Every spring many send in
seeds for testing just at seeding
time and ask for an immediate re-
port and as it takes from four to
twenty-one days. to gerninate the
variors field crop seeds they are dis,
appointed.
1t is worth while to have purity
and termination tests made to avoid
planting noxious weeds or dead
seeds. Therefore send in your seed
samples for testing before March /
See that they are labeled carefully
| with your own name and address
| and marked TO show what you want
done; with the words purity test,
termination test, or both and be
sure that they are plainly addressed
to the Agronomy Depar tment, State
College, Brookings. S. d.
