SO jealous of his patients that she is
always popping into his consulting
room and makes other women afraid
to go to her husband
She has never let him study at night
because she says that when he is away
from her all day she feels that his
evenings belong to her. She also
never lets him go out without her in
the evening, and SO he is cut off from
the association with his profession,
and as a result he has fallen behind
the times, lost the friends that could
have helped him. He could have been
a star. but he is a tallow dip snuffed
out by wife.
And on the other hand I know
dozens of women who have really
made their husbands by relieving them
OF every care they could, by giving
them the opportunity to work. and
stimulating them to do the best that
was in them
A mans success after he is married
lies in the wife's hands. She can
hinder or help. and the best way she
can help is by being a good wife

Some men are always talking about
hitting somebody
A woman who cries easily never
seems to feel very bad about it.
This year the girls are referring to

boxes"
An old-fashioned woman would
rather see any dish on the table than
an empty one.
The theory that the Lord will pro-
vide is a poor one for a man who
wants to own an automobile.
Women can't understand how it is
some men can be attentive to wom-
an and still not be in love with her
Strangers fighting among them
selves are never SO brutal and ruth
less as kinfolks waging war against
one another.
An Atchison man never interrupts
any one who is speaking, and for
that reason he hasn't said more than
eight words during the last five years.
Some people worry too much about
hypocrfts, and don't spend enough
time admiring the many sincere peo-
pie in the worlds
Some men who condemn the war
really worry more about the taxes
they will have to pay than about the
lives that will be lost.

TRAVELETTE

BY NIKSAH.

Remate de Males is dismal little
cluster of huts on the banks of the
Itecoahy river in Brazil. When the
rainy season drives the rubber worker
from the nearby forest he brings his
hard earned wages to Remate and
spends them gloriously. His wife
blossoms forth in clothes that rival
Joseph's famous coat, and high heeled
slippers. worn as rule without stock
ings. Every hut boasts a new gramo-
phone and the music of last years
Broadway hit blares forth upon the
astonished jungle air.
It is a dismal spot, this tiny settle
ment on the edge of the unmapped
Javary region. Its very name is
mournful, Remates de Males, the Gull
mination of evils. Every shack is
built on poles as far as possible above
the high water mark of the rainy sea-
son; from the one ~roomed church to
pig sites and goat pen, the whole town
is on stills. In the dry season, when
the water has retreated to the river
bed, this space below the huts is oc-
cupied by the live stock of the various
households, but when the winter with
endless wet falls upon the village, the
pigs and goats are brought into the
huts with the rest of the family, and
the space below is in the possession OF
the various river creatures, alligators,
water snakes and strange fish. The
patient alligator waits and watches for
stray bits of food let fall from the
kitchen or perhaps an occasional un-
lucky member of the household itself
The one-roomed huts are built of
rusty sheet iron, rooted with broad
palm leaves. The furnishing is sim
p1icity itself; a few iron hooks from
which to hang the hammock beds. a
table and chair and the house is fur
nished. The towns one skyscraper
bears the imposing title of the Hotel
de Augusta. It is one and a quarter
stories high; the explanation of the
extra quarter has yet to be made.
Life is interesting in Remate de
Males during the rainy season. At
times the water rises a few feet above
the floors of soft palm wood, and the
inhabitants go about in boots and row
boats. Perhaps if you are restless
during the night you fall from your
hammock and have to swim to the
table top or catch a chair floating
from room to room. The water and
forest creatures keep up an endless
din, the frogs of the river and
monkeys of the forest holding a.
nightly concert for the benefit of I'M
fortunates who cannot help but listen

PROOF is CALLED FOR.

Assertions of w. G. Lee. head of the
organization of railway trainmen that
railway managers are operating the
roads in a manner to discredit gov
eminent control will need something
more than his bare words to make
them convincing. Reason, logic and
common sense all are against his
claims.
President Wilson did not take over
the railways of this country to test
out the merits of government owner
ship or government operation. He
took them over because in a national
crisis it was necessary that the rail-
roads should do things which, under
operation by their managers and own
ers, the law will not let them do. He
took them over to provide for them
imperative financing which, in this
war situation. could not be provided
in any other way. He took them over
as war measure.
Bills are now pending in congress
with every indication that one will
pass providing for the return of the
property to it's owners. What pur-
POSCs thChI SOuIO llie nave
attempting to make government con-
troll ineffectuaI?
Even if retention of the railroads by
the government were otherwise de-
sireble, in view of the stupendous bur-
dens the country has assumed, an at
tempt to finance their acquisition with
their twenty billions of capitalization
and debt, probably would be far from
popular.
The fact is that the railroads under
present conditions of weather and in
creased burdens would have failed
under any management. They were
like the government, totally unpre-
pared to meet requirements

the letters Nora told him what they
contained almost before he had .
chance to open one of them He read
the last one, however. and as he read.
he realized just what a brick Aunt
Flo was, to keep smiling. He did not
speak for some moments. for he found
that tears. after all, were not solely
monopolized by women
isn't their case like ours?" he ven
tured, when he thought Nora was
ready for it

Criticism has been visited upon the
order of Fuel Administrator Garfield
closing down manufacturing plants
operated by hydroelectric power for
the same period as plants operated by
the use of coal. The excuse given for
this order is that the industries hsv-
ing water power should not be per-
mitted to profit at the expense of
those which cannot be operated except
by the use of coal. Yet we are told that
profits should not be considered while
the war lasts

: Secretary McAdoo is urging the peo-
pie to cease building homes for the
period of the war. Nothing could be
more disastrous to a nations armies
in the field than to have the body of
producers at home confronted with the
prospect of loss in their commercial
transactions. Nothing could be more
conducive to the success of military
operations than to be backed by a
community prosperous in every way.
Every attempt of governments in the
past to interfere with market streams
has resulted disastrously.
