HEART AND BEAUTY
PROBLEMS
By MRS. ELIZABETH THOMPSON.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am a mar
ried woman twenty-three years of age.
I have only been married about six
months and my husband and 1 can't
agree He goes over to his mothers
and she tells him lot of things that
are untrue and he comes home ugly
and cross about it. He won't believe
me when / tell him they are not true
my house clean and always have his
meals ready to eat as soon as he gets
home from work. but he never appre-
ciates anything I do for him. He
growls from morning until night when
he is here.
they do not live here.-and he won't
go with me to see them. have only
been home once since I was married
and every time l speak of going home
he fuses SO I do not say any more.
My father is old and sick and I am
awfully homesick- What would you
advise me to do? I can't talk to him
because he gets angry.
The doctor says 1t will be impossi-
BILE for me to have children. My hus-
band wants them and he says he will
leave me if at the end of six months
| me nearly to death. L am getting ner-
vous and broken down from worry
ing.
Please advise me whether II would
/ be better for US to part now or stay
| together longer. 1t will >nearly kill
/ me to part, for I love him, but it will
be harder 10 part if we walt If I
leave will so far away 70 forgethim.
! WORRIED.
Your husband must be absolutely
selfish and heartlessD For the sake of
your happiness 1 would advise you to
leave him at once and go to your par
ents where you will be surrounded by
1.-THE atmosphere of love. There you
would be less nervous and less miser-
able ana in time you would learn to
forget.
/ If you went home, however. you
would be deserving your husband
and would not have a claim on him
in the future. To get alimony it
would be better to remain with him
six months and let him leave you
believe he would. He says nothing
Tin appreciation OF what you do for
him, but nevertheless it adds to his
comfort and he would hesitate to give
it up.
1t seems to me it would be most
! satisfactory to see a lawyer and get
his advice. II you can go home
without sacrificing your rights, the
trip would be of great benefit 10 you.
Your husband would be given another
taste of single biessedness and he
might see that marriage is not SO bad
after all
Do not be SO considerate of your
selfish husband. Think of your own
comfort and Interests and most likely
he will respect you for II and you will
find life with him much happier

BILE SKY LAWS.

= The reported indictment of eleven
investment houses and fifty-five indi-
viduais in connection with alleged
frauds in the sale of oil stocks is a sign
of the cleaning up of this particular
type of initiation. The economic waste
which has been going on in the pro-
motion of ill-advised and illegitimate
oil enterprises is appalling. Every
legitimate oil industry in the country
is said to be lending its vigorous sup
port to this fight against the parasites
on the industry as a whole.
The howl that is going up from sup
posed oil people against the exposes
of illegitimate financing on the ground
that enterprise and initiative is thus
thwarted. says Mining Congress in its
current issue, does not come from peo-
pie who have bona fide speculative
propositions.
The oil promoter who is being dis
eliminated against is the one who
makes money whether a well is drilled
on his property or not, and whether
or not oil is struck on such well if it
ever is drilled. The same principle
applies whether the venture is stock
company. shares in a syndicate or
segregated portions of the great
American desert which are sold as
acreage by these philanthropists who
want ito give the small man chance
to get rich"
Among the first of the effective blhe-
sky laws was that known as the Par
dee law, so named after the then Gov
ernor Pardee of California, who was
chairman of the. American Mining
congress committee which recon-
mended the enactment by the various
Misrepresentation of any material fact
relating to the value of mining stocks
offered for sale a misdemsnnor pun
ishable by fine and Imprisonment.
The contamination of the fraud was
not essential to the effective operation
of this law; the only thing required
was evidence that a Misrepresentation
had been made, and it was not re-
quired. as under the laws against false
pretense. that some one should be
swindIed before the penalties were in
Cured. This law was enacted by a
number of states.
Later the Kansas biue-sky law was
enacted, which requires any person
offering stocks for sale first to secure
a state license. before the granting of
which a full disclosure of the facts
surrounding the offering is required.
Various states have enacted laws more
or less patterned after the Kansas law.
But it generally has been found diff
flcult TO protect the fool against him
self. by legal enactment.

LOYALTY.
Money never bought a friend,
Never hired n man to love us;
They who're faithful to the end.
See the something better Of us;
Neither silver nor the gold

Tho the coins he gives are royal.
Lives a troubled life and lonely;
Men who worship gold, VIII fly
When another comes TO buy.
