LONDON FACES DEARTH
 OF GENERAL LABORERs

London, Sept 7.EReviewing the effect of the first year of war on the labor market the Board of Trade La Dor Gazette says that although the first shock of war caused much disor- ganization, there is now very little un- employment except in a few luxury trades, while in a number of indus tries, notably coal mining, engineer ing, ship building, agriculture and transport, the demand for labor great ly evceeds the supply In the fnsur- ed trades the percentage of unem- p1oyment on August 6 was 1.03 com pared with 3.95 a year ago.
 The position of the uninsured trades also tends to improve. On August there were 1z.274 men and 41,374 women on the registers of the Labor Exchanges against 1 g, 993 and s43 TOO respectively a month ago.
 During the year two and a. half
 million workpeop1e have had increas- es in rates of wages or war bonuses amounting to over two million dol lars week or over three sht1lings per capita to those benefting.

BRAz1L,s INDEpENDENcE DAY

This is independence day in Brazil
 as it was on Sept. r, 1922, that Dom Pedro, acting as regent for his father, King John of Portugal formally pro-
 claimed the greaS South American
 country to be free and independent. By his action Dom Pedro forestal1ed
 the growing repu ubIican sen timent, and,
 while freeing Brazil from the Portu-
 guese yoke, he retained for himself the title of Emperor of Brazil. In 1881 he abdica ted in favor of his son, Dom Pc dro H., who reigned until the estab- lishment of the republic by the blood less revolution of 1899. The name and fame of Dom Pedro E, is commemorate ed by a magnificent memorial in Rio de Janeiro. The Braziilians have a1- ready commenced to plan for the cele- bration of the centennial of independ- ence on Sept ', 1922. It is likely that great exposition will be held in Rio, and invitations have already been sent out for an internationala congress on American history. Brazil is slightly larger than the United States, excIus- i've of Alaska, and it's tremendous na- tural resources, scarcely touched as yet, are declared to be such that in the course of time Brazil may become the most populous country in the world. That time is probably far dis tant, but Brazil has made tremendous strides in the last few decades. Brazil is "on it's Way,'' and Uncle Sam may sometime have to look to his laurels if he hopes to maintain the dominant position among New Korld republics.

HEAD OF THE HOUSE

Dear Miss Ldbbey:-
 As your daily reader. please advise me. am 1T, am going with a man 27, I love We haven't been in each otl1- CTS company now in six months, but correspond. When write to him he answers is so busy. My parents and, all like him. If a youth likes a girl, tells her. so. what should she say? If 9 youth asks a girl if she loves him, is she to tell him in the affirmative? :? Are moonlight parties objectionable? :? How can a girl get rid of a boy who makes calls too long? Some get angry if head of house calls, Its near bod time.''
 H. H. H. Y If a youth tells he likes her, she can only say. That's good to hear" If he asks her she can reply in the affirmative. Yes, moonlight parties with many nice couples together if they break up early, are allowable once or twice in summer. A boy well brought up will not extend his calls after 9:30 p: m., If later. he deserves calling down and not future invita- tion.

Most every girl who has reached a sensible age is fully convinced that she is intended for love and marriage. The girl whose heart is to be won has no time, no1, is she willing to fritter her golden hours away in the company of one who is not marrying man. No
 man of sense or honor would consider being the cause of such sacrifice of time and years.
 Right is the conclusion of wise pa rents, not to be neglectful of informing themselves oh the intentions and pros poets of s itor. Having done their share toward making the visits pleas ant ones. and all that is agreeable, their marriage takes place and no more responsi bilitiess rest on their shoulders.
 When, after the honeymoon has long since passed, and unraA sonabIe hap penings and unhappiness start up, friends begin to talk it over and won der how far the breach will widen. if it will end in the breaking of the mar riageN tie in the divorce courts.
 Some one has somewhere said that dissatisfied wives, who turn out dis gusted and regard their married lives ed more than the congenial, satisfied ones. Her heart rebels when she is second in her husbands plans, left alone whenever he can pretend. she would be out of place where he goes telling her he is due at a business meeting or is obliged to show up at his club, which he never misses. T might as well have had no husband she complains to her women companions. t'Why, he has urgent business six nights in the week and he's too tired to stir out of the house with me on Sunday. It's no good for me to cry over split milk or to wish I was single again.
 The tactfuI wife will look around her home and see if there are any new pleasures she can add to attract him to her side when he is tired and worried over his affairs, which he en- deavofs to keep from her. If he neg lects some duties she has laid out for him to attend to, she will not flare up and magnify his faults and show her temper. On the contrary. she will patch up an excuse to the effect that it is not so important but that he can see to it at his first spare time. Men who have wives with 8 grain of patience, who are far-seeing enough to contrast what life to them would be if the proyider, dear companion and heart-naate of years were separated from them, are not going to disrupt their homes by the road to the divorce court IT IL IS posSlolo tO paIcn up dlIl1- cu1ties. Those who have had falling outs, and, after the keenest renaorse and heartaches have found relief in glad tears which brought about recon ciliation-own the happiest d@ys known after estrangemeht were the making up ones.
 Every. woman's heart yearns for her I1oving7mate; some. one to caress and praise her What more natural than that she should cling to the man she has wed and with open arms keep him from temptations and turning awag, eff in her power, until death do them parto

X simple break fast or ripe tomatoes-which can be cooked in many ways-with bread and butter is quite satisfying.

Most children are fond Of bananaa and without hesitation that fruit can be recommended for their use. Apart from analyses, comparisons of the facts, proteids and carbohydrates con tained' in different foodstuffs. the mere fact that many inhabitants alone should be sufficient to prove the worth of the fruit. Fully the ripe bananas with sugar and milk ara highly beneficial to children.

without a whine or whimper
and since that time has been
assiduously devoting his time
and talent to his profession
at Great Falls. The defeat
contained no tinge Of public
disapproval. No bitter per-
sonal fight was made against
him. Even the militant
Great Falls Tribune, in the
heat of the campaign, could
not allow itself to be so I'M
fair as to say a disparaging
thing about the Benton law

could muster up was that
Charlie Pray was all right

During the last couple Of
years of tn e Taft regime

detail matters for the state
and did it with such skill,
diplomacy and unfailing
courtesy that he won the af-
