DO MY SINFUL FOLLIES PAY?
ISA QUESTION FOR HUSBANDS

he has fallen in her estimation, and
how he has hurt her pride and respect.
Men are in the habit of making a
jest of such lapses, and they think
woman hard-hearted and narrow
minded who regards them as trag-
edies. But while a tender and
loving woman will treat drunken
man with pity and consideration. she
cannot feel the same admiration and
respect and pride which are elements
in every great love.
Aside from hurting her feelings
and wounding her heart, the hus-
band or father who frequently comes
home intoxicated digs ditch at the
foundation on which his happiness
is laid-the solid respect and admir-
ing love of the woman of his house
hold.
Does it pay?
Then there is the delight men find
in the gaming table.
| believe cards have helped many
brainfagged man to keep his mind
from business and his nervous sys-
TEN from collapse. l believe clubs
are good institutions.
But does it pay to make the home
secondary to the club, and to be-
come so debauched with the gam
ing mania that you sit at the table
night after night until dawn and rush
through your business in order to get
back to the club?
Does it pay to let the habit grow
upon you until you find any other
amusement bore and an evening
at home so perceptible a tax upon
you that it destroys its pleasure fol
your family?
Aside from the fact that you are
destroying your better nature, your
real immortal qualities, by self-in-
diligence in all or any of these
habits herein enumerated, does the
pleasure you get out of them pay
you for all they cost yourself and
others dear to you?
Why Not Right About Face and Start
New Line of Conduct?
If not, why not right-about-face
duct? You need not be a "goody-
! goody' man; you need not shut
yourself from all worldly pleasures
or give up everything but duty.
But suppose you try how 1t seems
W bS W gOuI vows
to avoid crossing the line of sober
self-control and to leave the club
and the card table by midnight and
to pass three or four evenings with
your family each week. Suppose
you try this for one year and see
whether it does not pay better divi-
dends in the long run than the other
course.
Look at the matter of these in
dulgences as an investment - just
as you look over your financial mat
ters to see what has best paid you
during the year. And then confess
to yourself whether the gain in
pleasure" may not be counter-bal-
anced by the continual assessments
of shame. fear, deception, reproach
and loss of self-respect, not to mention
taxes of physical pain and discom-
fort.
Does it pay?

Cold Storage Law
Amendents Ready

The dairy ana food commissioner
cold storage law amendments which
will be introduced into the Senate to-
night by Senator p. w. Snyder, OF Blair,
Will contain a provision that the own
er of foods stored beyond the legal
limit in a cold storage warehouse shall
be held liable to prosecution and not
the warehouseman.
The amendments are designed to
clarity the law and to make some pro-
visions which will enable it to be more
easily administered after the experience
of couple of years. The clause rela-
tive to ''outlawed" food would permit
the state TO sue man who allowed
foodstuffs to spoil or TO remain in stor-
age beyond the legal limit instead of
placing them on sale. Their will also
be given authority for the dairy and
food commissioner to render unit for
use foods stored beyond the legal linn
it, as can now be done with rotten eggs.
The administration will likely oppose
the Jones cold storage bill which pro-
vides for season to season storage.
