One Cause of Indigestion.
BY RUTH CAMERON


A doctor was questioning woman
patient who had come to him with
bad case of nervous Indigestion.
He asked her if she enjoyed her
meals
Doctor she said in a burst of
frankness "since I've been married
haven't been able to eat the way I
used to, because-well, you know John
has a good deal of nervous strain in
his business, and he comes home all
on edge and, well-he does find so
much fault with his meals. Flies out
at me if anything is wrong, you know.
And when he does that, it simply takes
my appetite all away. I don't eat any
thing and, ig 1 do, I don't want to.
And even when he doesn't complain,
I'm SO nervous and 1 don't enjoy my
food. Really, doctor, I'm not such a
bad cook. John says so himself, but
he says he's nervous and little things
irritate him.
The doctor who told me this con-
versation added grimly: There's a
subject for you-the selfishness of the
man who spoils his wife's dinner and
helps give her nervous indigestion by
venting all the pent-up irritation of his
day in an outburst of temper if any
thing about the meal doesn't entirely
suit him.
A man who will kick a dog because
some one he can't kick has called him
down, is one of the meanest creatures
living, isn't he?
And yet, does he differ so much
from the man who will kick his wife
mot in the flesh but in the spirit and
that often hurts Just as much) when
things have gone wrong at the office :?
What about justifiable fault finding,
you may say?
Well, every man has right to ex-
pect his wife to learn to cook the
food he provides, nourishingly and
palatably. But has he any more rea-
son for demanding a first-class cook
than she has a first-claSs provider?
When the cooking falls below a rea-
sonab1e standard, man is of course
entitled to criticise and ask that his
wife try to improve it. But this criti-
ill-tempered way. And if man wants
to be especially decent, he might wait
until after dinner, that is, of course,
if the thing isn't something that can
be remedied at the time.
No man could do his work well in
the atmosphere CT irritable criticism
to which many of them subject their
wiz es.
1 have often heard employers boast
of the tact they use with the office
help and Sometimes heard these same
men find fault with their wives in an
utterly tactless way.
What does criticism mean-fault-
finding? Not as its primary meaning.
1t means primarily the act of judg-
ing justly of the beauties and faults
| of a work of art The definition is
suggestive. 1 know a man who de-
veloped his wife into a fine cock with
out a single irritable WORD. He criti-
cised in the true sense. that is. en- en-
| couraged the good ard courteously

A HINDRANCE TO FARMING.

Animal and vegetable pests are
probably the greatest hindrance to
successful farming, says the Kansas
Industrialist. They are distributed
Everywhere, and without constant
Vigilance even the best farmer cannot
hope to keep his crops free from
them. The annual loss from insects
in the United States approximates a
billion dollars. according to DR.. H. J.
Waters. The same authority points
out a yearly loss from potato blight
Of $36,0oO,00O; from grain smuts, of
$50, 100000; from grain rusts, of 500

THE FEW AND THE MANY.

Perhaps John Shelton Williams the
comptroller of the currency. is right
in his assertion that the concentration
of Americas growing wealth in the
hands of comparatively few men is
the greatest danger threatening this
nation. But it is a fact, on the other
hand, that the wealth in this country
is more profusely distributed among
more people than is the case in almost
any other country on the face of the
earth In comparison with the few
who have much more than enough
and adding to their piles daily-the
ones whom Mr.. Williams has in mind,
there are multitudes who are in
comfortable circumstances, who own
their own homes, or farms, etc., or
who are drawing wages on which they
can live and bring up their families
decently. And these conditions are
rar from being general the world over.

FEDERAL AID FOR VOCATIONAL

education in the present high and ele-

federal government would be almost
inconsiderable because most of the

that training and might only accept
