mean anything by what she says.
CONSTANT READER.
This is a very painful letter to
answer, especially to a person like
me. who has an almost chimeric
generation for the aged. If the
young wife is convinced that
her nerves-which she frankly
acknowledges are not playing
upon her Imagination, she ought to
suggest to her mother-in-law that
the course she is pursuing in re-
gard to the baby is destructive OF
discipline and must stop. She
should talk the situation over with
her husband, too, and try to come
to some sort of an amicable ar
rangement. Granting the mother
in-law may have some of the pecu-
liarities of the aged, no sane per-
son deliberately tries to start a
breach like this.

Do Working Men Really Get
More Than Their Share?
Not Always, ANYHOW. You May Judge.

Won find in the criticism of Government management
of railroads great outy about increased wages Tor the
workers You are told that the Government couldn't
tuue managing the railroads. because Government officials
ruin the country by increasing wages in order to please
voters.
You read that the wages of railroad workers have been
increased at the rate of than five hundred million dol
lars year. and may probably amount to eight hundred
millions And figures brighten you, you begin to snlVer
and say The country is going to the dogs WorKngmen
will take everything Let hurry back to private owner
ship
When you find out how many there working
on the railroads you find that the increase Of eight hun
dred millions the maximum suggested would amount to
about dollar day per man, little less than four nun
dred dollars year Do you think dollar day is such
an awful amount add the income of underpad work
men? How much be done with one dollar to feed a
family now how much to meet the INCREASED cost OF
food and what about the total result the effect the
public? Would this terrific increase of workmens wages
bankrupt the public? Hardly You learn from accurate
statistics that adding eight hundred millions year to the
wages of railroad workmen, naturally increasing the cost
of freight would add about THREE CENTS TO THE
PRICE OF BARREL OF FLOUR.
In other words increase of three cents in the price
of barrel of -four and corresponding increase in coal and
other commodities would take of the eight hundred
million dollars increase the pay of workers Wouldn't
be worth while add dollar day to the nay OF two mil
hon workmen at that price?
No country has ever been ruined by good pay for work
And those that gain most from it not the work
men, but the most prosperous class.
Give eight hundred millions more every year to the
Government workers What becomes of the money? Do
they hoard it. it away invest and become pluto
Gratis?
Not at all. They get it on Saturday, and on Monday
their wives spend it for the household for the children for
the doctors bills and perhaps occasionally few dollars
for something not absolutely necessary, including
ment and luxuries.
Add eight hundred millions year to the dividends
Of railroad and the money goes in banks large part
to private fortunes already very big It is stored away
added the fund of those that already have enough
This is said in criticism of any mans fortune
honestly acquired
There is just this difference between good wages and
money paid out in dividends to increase big fortunes
The money in the great fortune is like the water out
in the stored up It viii be used time, of
course
Money paid out in wages like the that falls
in rain the land ferizng the land increasing pros
perity.
Good wages for the population what irrigation is to
the land
And low wages stagnaton.

Salvation Army Fund

Next Monday will mark the official
opening of the Salvation Army's
Home Service Fund campaign. New
Jerseys quota of the S13,000,0 900 to
be raised in the nation is $3.50, 900.
The work of organization has pro-
crossed so satisfactorily under the su-
pervision of the State chairman, for
mel Governor Edward G. Stokes, that
the committees of volunteer organiza-
lions in every locality will be in shape
to take up vigorously and systematic
ally their allotted duties when the bell
rings.
During the present week the work.
ers have been busy distributing lit
erature, putting out posters, soliciting
donations of advertising space in the
newspapers and otherwise spreading
the knowledge of the time and char
acter of the drive and arousing en-
thusiastic cooperation in the effort to
put New Jersey away owe the top.
One of the most interesting features
of the campaign is the part that will
be taken in it by various organiza-
lions, military, civic and fraternal.
The drive will extend from May 10
to 26, inclusive. 1t will be short, but
pepful. Much will depend upon the
workers but more will depend upon
the public. New Jersey knows what
the Salvation Army did for her soldier
boys in France. There is no doubt
that she will pay with a glad heart
and al open hand her debt of
gratitude
