Why You Are Irritable

Did it ever occur to you that there
is not always a disadvantage, but
sometimes quite the reverse, in be-
ing irritable? In fact, sometimes
the woman who is by temperament
irritable is a far more agreeable
helpmate than the wife who is lack
ing in irritability. But, mind you,
being irritable does not mean that
you show that you are irritated, or
that you actuIly are irritated often.
1t means that you are sensitive
enough to your surroundings SO that
you are constantly trying to inn
prove them or to keep them up to d
high standard. If there never had
been any irritable housewives doubt
less we should all be doing house.
work in the mode of our grand
mothers. We would still be dipping
candles and cooking over open fire
places and sewing by hand instead
of by machines and keeping warm
by stoves instead OF by the heat
from a central furnace.
1t isn't always an advantage to be
entirely long suffering. 1t isn't an
Omaha daily bee., 1920-12-12

advantage, or at all to your credit
that you put up day after day with
inconvenience in your house, and
that you school yourself not to be-
come irritated by these things. The
sensitive, thinking housewife be-
comes irritated at having to put up
with the caprices of a wood stove
for cooking. And her irritability
sends her to the point where she
sees to it that her house is equipped
with an up-to-date gas stove or a
new fashioned oil stove.
1t becomes irritating to the house
wife to have to use the old fashioned
securing brick to scour knives and
other metals; she looks about her
for a remedy and discovers one of
the many securing powders that
save time and do away with the ir-
ritating securing brick The house
wife who is irritated by an incon-
venient kitchen takes steps to make
her kitchen more convenient The
housewife who is irritated over a
house that is always in confusion
and disorder is the housewife who
keeps her house shipshape.

Mothers Gratitude.

Somewhere in America there is
nurse from overseas who wears
short strand of small. round pink
beads. She calls it her ."Croix de
Guerre.'' Just before Chateau-Thier-
~. when the refugees were pouring
out of eastern France, a young girl
with big. dark eyes came with a sick
baby to one of the hospitals behind
the lines. During the first few weeks
at the hospital the baby whimpered
and walled constantly, but with the
nurses unremitting care it gradually
grew well and strong.
The day the little mother was leav-
ing she sought out the nurse whose
untiring patience and kindness had
meant the return of her baby's health.
This. ma'm'selIe," she said, holding
a string of pink beads in her out
stretched hand, II want you to have
it :>it is the only thing have left be-

story of the world war;" says the

in the memory of the nurse whom it
so closely touched"

words written by John F. Watson OF

ing Changes of Prices" in a book OF
his published in 1847:
1T is curious to observe the changes
which have occurred in the course of
years, both in the supply of common
articles sold In the markets and in
some cases in the great augmentation
of prices-for instance, Mr.. Brewer.
who has been quite a chronicle TO me,
has told me such facts as the follow
ing, viz:
HE remembered well when abund-
ance of the largest Blue Point oysters
could be bought, opened to your hand,
for Is 100 such as would now bring
from three to four dollars. Best sea
bass were but I'd a pound, now at Sd.
Sheephead sold at Cd to Is Sd apiece.
and viii now bring 81. Rock fish were
plenty at one shilling apiece for good
ones. Shad Sd apiece. They did not
then practice the planting of oysters.
HOLSTERS were not then brought to
market.
Mr. Jacob Tabelee, who is as old as
81. and of course saw earlier times
than the other, has told me a sheep
head used to be sold at Cd. and the
best oysters at Is a 100. In fact they
did not stop to count them, but gave
them in that proportion and rate by
the bushel. Rock fish at Sd pound.
Butter Sd to Cd. Beef by the quarter

Fowls about Cd apiece. Wild fowls in
great abundance. He has bought
twenty pigeons in their season for one

WOOD ALCOHOL PERIL

Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Roper Considers Means of Put

Washington, Dec. 29.-Daniel G.
Roper, commissioner of internal rev.
enue, is considering means to curb
the unrestricted sale of wood alcohol
which, in the guise of whisky, already
has caused many deaths throughout
the country.
When congress convenes on Janu-
airy 8 Commissioner Roper is expect
ed to send in a number of recomlnen-
dations to safeguard the sale of the
poison. and these will be speedily act
ed upon. The death roll of wood al
cohol has assumed such proportions
as to cause grave concern here among
officials and members of congress.
Congress will be ready and will
ing to assist the commissioner of in
ternal revenue in whatever plans he
may devise to curb the sale of wood
alcohol" said Senator Morris Shep-
pard, Democrat of Texas.
Commissioner Roper. in answer to
inquiries, said that while he he'd been
making thorough study of the man
ufacture and sale of wood alcohol, he
had not yet matured his plans to the
point that he felt he could announce
them.
Hartford. Conn. Dec. 29.-Sixty
deaths are reported here, the toll of
the whisky" shipped to the nearby
Massachusetts and Connecticut towns.
The police and medical authorities ex-
meet that other deaths will ha addad
as there are many known to be blind
ed and i'll by the poison. and addi-
tional cases are being reported.
The deadliness of the beverage is
shown by the fact that of fifteen cases
taken to one hospital in Springfield,
Mass, fourteen have died and the last
one is not expected to live.

If the show of anything be good for
anything, l am sure sincerity is better;
for why does any man dissemble, or
seem to be that which he is not, but
because he thinks it good to have such
a quality as he pretends to? For to
counterfeit and dissemble is to put on
the appearance of some real excel
lency. Now the best way in the world
for man TO seem to be anything. is
really to be what he would seem TO be.
