HOW l HELPED
MY HUSBAND
The Doctors Wife Learned
'Tact."

\ doctors wife can help her hus-
band more by the things she refrains
from doing than by any active endeav-
or on her part. This may sound very
easy. but l can assure you that such
is not the case. Many a promising
medical man has had his business
ruined by the ndiscretions of a well
meaning wife.
My husband had opened an office
in Il small but prosperous town three
years before | married him. There
were two other very popular doctors
in the place. so his patients came but
slowly. He had been called i'm for
several emergency cases and had been
so successful that a few people began
to send for him on the recommends
ton of their friends. But in spite of
all this his practice was small Some
times his office hours would pass
without a single patient coming in. and
there would be even days when he had
no call to go out. I was as econom-
zeal as | knew how to be when we were
first married, the little cottage we
lived in. though near the main street,
being rented very cheaply, because it

a kiss the young bride always ex-
poets, he said with a frown:

The other day a prominent lawyer

said to me:

ALSO, when l noted the change |
had left from a five dollar bill it looked
like two cents and I had carried it
all home. l remember the time when
IA five dollar bill of groceries couldn't
be carried home.''
A very good idea you have suggested
for Mr.. Husband of the home--a very
! good idea for the husband who is SO
busy with his business that he knows
nothing about the struggles of his bet
ter half to make his money do the
work it did before.
If he would only have days ex-
petition such as this lawyer he would
soon find a new sympathy and respect
for the lady of his house.
There Is many a man whose wife is
forever explaining to him the need OF
| money for this, that and the other
thing, who when the bills come in, has
back in his mind a suspicion that she
| has been reckless or careless or en-
| travagant with the money he doled out
| to her
There's many family row over
| these accounts from the butcher, the
| baker and the candlestick maker that
! can soon be stopped if the man of tho
house tried it himself.
| 1t is bad enough for the wife tt
| have all the worry and trouble OF
scheming and planning, so that she
may properly provide for her family
but it is doubly hard when she has
to bear the brunt of a suspicious hus
! band, to say nothing of the stingy va.
| ricty.
Such woman has one recourse She
can say to him. DO it yourself for :
| few days and see" / doubt if he will
dare question her again.
| Let husband go to market and learr
for himself. He will rise up in wratl
and demand drastic legislation or ac.
ton by those in control. There woul,
| be II little more action rather than So
much talking.
The proof of the pudding is in tn,

HATS OFF TO THE FARMERS.

The American farmer is delivering
the goods. The call to duty was not
lost on his ears. The fire of patriotism
glows within his breast as in the old
days when his forefathers left their
ploughs in the field to fight tyranny
at Lexington and Concord
The July crop report of the govern
mcnt forecasts an increase of a billion
bushels in the principal food crops.
The corn crop as indicated will be
SPA 900. 900 bushels or an increase of
sal 900, 900 bushels over that of last
year The combined winter and spring
wheat crop will reach a total of 67S.-
100000 bushels. with an increase Of
100000 bushels.
There will be a record breaking crop
of potatoes. with 452,0oo,00O bushels, or
100000 more than that of 1916.
This does not include the great home
garden production which is difficult to
estimate.
The third largest crop Of barley
ever known will be harvested while
the crop of oats is but slightly under
the record. Rye is a record crop and
win show n production of $4,000 900
bushels, or the second largest crop in
history
All this is forecasted under weather
conditions that may be described gem
orally as unfavornblc. 1t has been
| made possible by the tremendous
| energy Of the farmers in responding
! to the appeal of the president. The
increased acreage of IA per cent foi
corn and 22ls per cent for potatoes is
| the most striking evidence of what
may be accomplished by the farmers
| when the country is in peril.
! The harvest remains. The I. w. WIS
