A man asks this question.
why does woman who has been
model Of domesticity and true
and loyal wife for FIVE years. sud-
lenly begin to seek amusement out
ide her own home. and to show that
che enjoys the society of other nen
rather than that of her husband?"
Perhaps the reason that domestic
ity began to pail upon your wife, my
dear sir, was became she got tired
OF trying to make a happy home by
her own unaided efforts. That Is a
Job for two, and no woman on earth
can do it alone.
II you are wondering why your wife
got fed up on domesticity and tired
OF her home, ask yourself what you
have ever done to make home life at
tractive to her, and to take the curse
from the monotony of domestic la
bort
From time immemorial women have
been preached to about their duty
to try to make home the most de-
lightful spot on earth for their hus-
bands. They have been told that
they should meet husbands when they
return from their days work with
a glad. sweet smile; that they should
dress themselves up attractively: that
they should hide from husband all of
their little worries, and that they
should spend their evenings doing all
sorts of parlor stunts to amuse him.
But nobody ever says a word to
men about their duty to try to make
home pleasant for their wives. No
body ever tells man to meet his
wife with a glad, sweet smile when
he comes home, though, heaven
knows. a woman who has wrestled all
day with pots and pans. a sewing
machine and a teething baby. and the
high cost of butchers meat, needs
cheering up badly enough.
All, no. A man expects his wife to
be happy and satisfied at home with
out, any assistance from him. Hasn't
she got a roof TO cover her? Hasn't
she got food to eat? Hasn't she got
a gas range for company. and furnl-
ture to entertain her? What more
can reasonable woman want to
make life full of thrills for her?
The amazing thing is not that few
women finally get tired of the dullness
Of home life and seek amusement on
the outside, but that thousands of
them don't do 1t. At any rate, any
man who is honest with himself can
answer the question: why do wives
wander away from their own fire.
sides?" 1t Is because husband did
nothing to make the fireside attrac-
tive.
1t is the men who make their homes
dumping ground for all their i'll
temper and grouchiness they dare not
show to the outside world; the men
who are silent and morose in their
own homes, the men who never give
theiry wives word OF praise or ap-
probation for their devotion, thrift
and good management: the men who
do not treat their wives with even

Conservation Urged
In Anthracite Coal

The anthracite industry warns
houscholders not to waste a single
pound of coal the coming winter.
One great cause for wastage is the
running of boilers and furnaces at
high pressure. When the house gets
too warm, the windows are opened
to permit the escape of this excessive
heat. This easily results in the loss
of at least half ton of coal ger
family. or a wastage of at least 5oO.-
900 tons of anthracite during the late
autumn and winter season.
The production of anthracite, this
year, can hardly reach S0OO0o 900 tons.
Through economic plans worked out
by the industry; by facility of trans
portation, storage and pooling, it has
been possible to gain a headway be-
yond what has been delivered of
only or little more than a days pro-
duction.
