 Utter ignorance the part of his wife of the bur den that business family affairs put busy man;
 Too much evil influence the part Of the wfe'e relatives;
 Unbecomng conduct of illadvised daughter;
 Too much exercise of the wifes uncomfortable tongue;

 And then the agsrieked husband proceeds with a prescription calculated to cure domestic bros and understandings. Here it is:
 "One ounce of common sense.
 "One ounce of devotion for home.
 "One ounce of ambition.
 Mix well and use daily"

HUNGRY scHooLcHlLDREN

The Chicago health department careful a- yesgaton has found that 25 to per cent of the cys school children do get enough eat Perhaps one out Of three boys and girls abors under the handicap of slow starvation at time when they all need their full share Of nourishment
 The physical result shows plainly enough A train ed observer unfalmgly pick out the underfed ch dren by their thin and scrawny bodies. their dwarfcd height their poor color evident lack of srenrth The mental result inevitably shows in their work An nlnourished child cannot apply it's mind to study ef fectively Mastering lesson demands attentions at tenton demands effort an expenditure of nerye-force which the hungry child lacks An empty stomach means empty mind.
 The moral result is less easily traced but almost certain. Undernourishment weakens and dulls Che moral powers just surely it does the powers o the body and intellect It requires energy-which is based food--to build character.
 Chicago does not stand alone in this matter. Ther, is considerable proportion of children in every biz city in the country-and in many of the smaller cities too-'sho are just badly handicapped, though n, health board takes the trouble to study them. How long will 1t be before the public wakes up and stop the absurd practice of trying to make intelligent an, useful citizens out of hungry boys and girls?

MINE DEVELOPMENT
 IN ARIZONA HALTS
 FROM TOO MUCH LAW
Surveyor General Ingalls, Shows in Ris Report That Business of Small ProspeCtors Has Sui ,ered a Decline.

PHOEN1T, Mar -s.-survovor Gen. ersl Ingalls, reports less business in bis office for the survey of mines for rateuf and for all sorts or mining sur veys for that matter at present than there has been for several years While ae does not atlempt to assign any reason for it, others think 1t is owing to a mining law passed by the first state legislature
 A prominent mining man from Gila county in conversation stated that mining was never at SO low an obb in rthat country as at tbe present time. SO far as development work in con cerued. Of course the larger proper ties which have been already devel- oped and are producing are not af fecled by this law
 The law in question is one intended .o protect business men from irre- suoI sible or fake mining promoters Jt provides that where lease and bond are taken on mining property for dts development it any debts are contracted by the lessee or bondhold- c-. the mine becomes responsible for The debt This. it win be seen. is the easiest way in the world for a man Co lose his property
 The excuse given at Che time the law was passed, and for which the members fell" was that instances had been known where outsiders had
 
 1 leases on mines, run bis store bills and never paid them. and this law was intended as a sort of protective association for-incompetent business mcn SO eager to sell goods that they would take chance of loss without inquirng into the responsibility or landing of the purchaser
 10 has had the effect of enectually protecting the business man, as 0wQ- CTS of claims who have any faith ] whatever in them will not lease them ! to be developed unless the lessee is ] willing Co give a bond, and even 9 man who Is perfectly responsible is not willing 10 do this. prcferrins 10 hunt up a property somewhere else than Go be compelled to comply with such a demand
 The Gila mining man says that where there were formerly scores of
 small camps composed of men en- gagged in the development Of mines or prospective mines. none are no" found The history Of Gila also app plies largely to other mining coun tries With this condition existing it is but natural that conditions such as the surveyor general relates should exist in that office. No mines are be ing developed and hence mo patents ale being applied for end no mining clahus are being surveyed.
