impurities. When you realize that
the heart Is constantly pumping this
vital fluid to all parts of the body,
you can easily see that any impurity

Any slight disorder or impurity
that creeps into the blood is a source
of danger, for every vital organ of
the body depends upon the blood sup

Many painful and dangerous dis

EXCITED

Some of the American correspondents in Paris seem to have
partaken literally of the supposedly volatile nature of the
French, if the excited strain that permeates their articles is
indicative of the atmosphere they have imbibcd. In fact, they
appear not only to have partaken of the volatility OF the French,
but actually to have relieved them of it, much after the fashion
that the French %shopkeeper is supposed to relieve the ~doughboy
Of his francs of mysterious if not unknown value-unknown to
the ~doughboy, we mean.
Judging from what some of them have written one might
suppose that France is on the verge of protesting against being
left unprotected, with no other nation between herself and Ger
many, and that President Wilson lost caste because he devoted
more consideration to the league of nations than he did to the
question of keeping the Hun from again overrunning France.
These statements differ in material respects from the reports
the president brought back, and his report comedies with the
printed reports OF the leaders of the French government, desig-
mated to speak for the people Of France.
France is in no peril from the Germans. There is nothing
that the Germans could do in the way of making war that has
not been tried before, with greater advantage, and they lost. If
the French withstood the Germans for four years with a valor
that has been unexcelled, it is not reasonable to assume that
their courage has deserted them at this late hour.
A natural assumption is that the Germans are in a much
more reluctant humor to meet the French than the French arc to
receive them.

DOROTHY DIX'S TALK
THE IN-LAW PROBLEM AGAIN.
BY DOROTHY DIX,
he Worlds Highest Paid Woman Write

I have a letter from a young wife
who is making herself utterly miser-
able through jealousy of her mother
in-law.
She complains that her husband and
his mother have long talks together.
Also that when she and her husband
have any little disagreement her
mother-in-law always takes her sons
part, Furthermore, she says that when
she wants to go out Of an evening her
mother-in-law says that her son Is
too tired to go, but that when her
sisters want to go, her Aother-in-law
thinks that he Is perfectly able to take
them. All of which makes life cinders,
ashes and dust to the young wife.
II is the old, old tragedy of the in
laws. The real human triangle Is made
up OF a man, his mother and his wife,
That incloses more tears, heart burn
ings and sufferings than any other In
the world, for there is nc other Jeal-
ousy so %torturing and SO incessant as
that which the two women who love
a man best, and who have almost equal
claims upon him, can feel of each
other.
That such a jealousy is futile and
%groundless makes no difference to
either one. That they not only make
themselves unhappy, but that they tor
ture the man owe whom they fight,
likewise makes no difference. They
would sacrifice anything else on earth
for him except the dear privilege OF
hating each other and tormenting him
with their complaints and suspicious
of each other.
Why the in-law relationship should
be one that turns perfectly good and
amiable women into furies who are
tearing at each others hair and stab
bing at each others hearts nobody
knows. 1t is merely so. Women who
are broad and tolerant, courteous and
angelic to every other human being
on earth treat their mother-in-law or
their daughters -in-law like fiends, and
this state OF affairs is so almost uni
versal that one wonders that any man,
who values his own peace and happi-
ness, Is ever fool enough to try the
experiment of having his wife and
mother live in the same house. Tying
the Kilkenny cats up together in a bag
is an %innocuous proceeding compared
to It.
At the bottom OF the trouble between
the mother in law and the daughter
in-law Is the fact that neither woman
is big enough to rise to the height OF
getting the others point of view, still

Infinite Father, we have tried the
world and found 1t a great emptiness;
we come back to Thee who art eager
to fill our souls with everlasting truth
and mercy. We come with a ong in
our hearts. for the list OF Thy bene-
fits Is beyond our counting.
We thank Thee for the stirring days
of the present, with their opportunities
for improvement and service, their con-
Germ for the poor and ignorant. We
thank Thee for the mysterious, invit-
ing days which are to ONE laden with
secret stores for our replenishing. hid
den delights, and dark experiences for
our training, We thank Thee for the
silent heroisms of the home; for the

Der. We thank Thee that despite the
cleverness of wicked men and the fool
ishness of good men, the kingdom
makes steady advance,
Thy bounty unto us Is without boul-
daries. And yet we BATTLE Thy plans,
thwart Thy love and wander w%retched-
ly from the way of Jesus. We return
unto Thee this morning to have our
stains removed, our petty shame
stripped away, and our hearts forti-
fled, Have compassion upon us. and
bring us all by and by To our Fathers

less Of taking the mans outlook on the
situation.
The young wife feels that marriage
gives her an absolute and complete mo-
nopoly of the man to whom she is
married. She does not remember that
years and years before he wa her
husband he was this woman's son.
She does not remember that this
other woman went down into the val
ley of the shadow to bring him through
the gates of life, She does not remem-
Der how this other woman has worked
for him and sacrificed for him; how
she has watched by his bed through
weary nights of sickness; how she has
stinted and denied herself to give him
an education and a chance in the
world and to make hin the kind of a
man who would be a good husband to
this girl he has married.
1t would seem that If a young oma
had an atom of generosity in her soul
she would be filled with gratitude and
appreciation to this woman who has
done so much for the man she loves,
and that II she had a particle of intel
ligence she would realize that because
a man marries it does not automatically
stifle his affection for the mother he
has adored, any more than it kills her
affection for him. Also she would re-
fleet that they two must have millions
Of things to talk over together, and
that then must yearn to sometimes be
alone together without ever a beloved
third party present.
Certainly a wife borrows trouble
without reason when she torrents her
self by imagining that her husband and
mother spend their few precious mo-
ments alone discussing her faults. Also
she brings upon herself by doing SO
the very thing she fears, and every
mother-in-law is so grateful to the
daughter-in-law who treats her half
yaV daNaptlv that che poaG ahpt1t sing.
ing her praises. Nor can any wife do
a thing that so endears her to her
husband as Just to be good and kind to
his mother.
On the other hand, the mother-in-
law fails to realize that when her son
marries it alters his relationship to her.
Or rather hers to him. It delegates
her to the second place in his life. She
is no longer queen, but the queen dow
ager.
or course it is hard for a mother
who has been in the habit OF running
her sons affairs for twenty five or
thirty years to step down and out and
turn over the job to another woman.
1t is doubly hard when she sees that
this woman is young, and inexperi-
enced ann incompetent, but II life has
taught her a particle of wisdom, she
shuts her teeth on her tongue and
keeps silent and offers neither sugges-
ton nor warning.
But there is no way to settle the
in-law proposition until ONE develop
into altruistic saints who prefer an
others happiness before their own, and
| there is no pleasant prospect of that
coming to pass, In the meantime the
only way to modify the situation is
for no mother-in-law and daughter
in-law to ever attempt the disastrous
experience of trying to live under the
same roof.

states, informed the Knox county dele

The ruling that discharged officers should discard their
army uniforms Immediately, and that enlisted men should do
likewise upon reaching home, which, in any event, should not
require more than three months after proceeding upon their
Journey, is an unnecessary hardship upon some of the men. the
order coming as it has at the midseason when it is too late to
buy winter apparel and too early to don spring wear. But it is
the order, and it must be obeyed. 1t is to be hoped that the
lack OF observance will not cause embarrassment to the officers
and men who found the uniform not too good to fight in. but
apparently too good to be worn in violation Of military etiquette.
