Should Woman Promise to Obey'?

That the word "'obey" be omitted
from the marriage ceremony is a recon-
mendation which will be offered TINS
autumn at the meeting of the Episcopal
general convention.
This is in Difference to protests that
have bqen gathering strength for many
years" it is said.
1t is an amusing survival in this land
Of women ruled homes. What woman,
anywhere, does obey her husband: What
woman should obey her husband! And
what husband wants a woman to ooey
him? Yet the vain promise fingers in
the marriage service, as the useless ap-
pendix still may be found in the human
body. 1t is time for painless opera :
ton on the service-with benefit of
clergy.
There is a definite, widespread fem
mime revolt against the bridal promise
to obey, even though it be uttered with
the fingers crossed.
Yet life would be SO simple for the
average wife if all she had to do was
to obey her husband. To begin with.

The Little Old Woman

CRANKY JIMKINS was driving lik,
~ mad to win the race for fortune
He jounced and he bounded along far
ahead, and woe to the chickens that
got in his way. Many a white hen
lost her tail feathers under the grind
ing wheels Of his machine.
But the speed at which Cranky Jim
kins was going didn't seem to bother
the Laughing Man.
'"Ho, ho We will catch him yet, and
I'll win that fortune" he laughed.
"What is the fortune you are racing
for?" asked Peggy, shouting loudly tc

the speeding autotruck.
'Ho, no, no! It's fortune I must
earn after l win the race" was thu
strange reply of Laughing Man. Ther

too much for advertising? T. NJ d.
No. not enough. Your expenses are
too high, but you should spend 2 per
cent of your total sales on advertising.
Thus, with business of $4,000 you
should spend, at least, $3.50 year for
advertising. You are probably paying
too much for salaries or rent. Perhaps
the only way you can get those into
proportion is' to increase your sales
without increasing your expenses. More
well planned advertising is the best way
to do this.

JOHN BARLEYCORN PASSING

Uncle Sans efervescent wells are slowly
but surely drying up and before the present
month of January will have passed into his
tory, as it now appear, the most of the
states Of this Union of states will have
adopted the constitutional amendmcnt MAX
ing the manufacture and sale Of distilled
vinous and matted liquors a statutory Of
fense. Ten years ago if such a thing had
have been prophesied to come to pass in a
decade, the one making the prophecy would
have been pronounced insane. Ten years
ago what would have been thought of one
who would have said, the Seattle Brewing
and Mailing Company in ten years would
be manufacturing soda water instead Of
booze and that the multiplied thousands Of
dollars worth Of booze bar fixtures would
be sold as worthless junk or be broken into
splinterS by the dry squad on account of
the prOprctors thereof breaking tn, bOn>
dry law? Yet all Of these Things have come
to pass, not only in ten years, but in five.
The booze vendors are on the run and they
their finish. They may be able to leap
the broad eXpanse Of the Pacific and victim
ize China, but the odds are against them and
the rascals engaged in the dirty work would
do well to stand still and Ior once, act the
man and die with Their Its on AS we
write this (Thursday) thrty-siX states
have ratified the dry amendment to the
constitution. Let's hope that every state
will see the handwriting on the wall and
will make the ratification unanimous.
