BY DOROTHY DIX

"HE other day a man, whose marriage
had degenerated into an endurance
test for the sake of his children, said
that he would rather cut his tongue out
than ask any sort of favor from his wife
THAT is where you make a mistake"
said a wise old woman friend to whom he
had been telling his troubles, "you are
throwing your one chance of saving your
marriage from lasting failure by your false
pride. Because your wife is self-centered,
and selfish, and Of her own volition shows
you none of the appreciation or considera-
ton that are your due, you ask nothing Of
her.
81 understand and sympathize with how
you feel. You have taken what you con-
slider to be the only digrIfied attitude I'M
der the circumstances. But, believe me, son,
dignity has no place in the family circle.
That is the place where the stoop-to-conquer
stuff does it's great and perfect work. and it
is folly for you to stand aside and grow
morbid dwelling upon what your wife should
do. The thing for you to do is to get busy
and make her do what she ought to do.
"You wife is like lot of other women.
She has an undeveloped matrimonial con-
science. She has never really considered
her duty to you, nor what you have a
right to expect of her. And that is mostly
your fault, because you have never thrown
any responsibility on her. You have never
demanded anything of her You have never
have never made her feel, even, that she
was absolutely necessary to you.
'Of course you did all of this from the
highest and noblest motives. You wanted
to be good husband and to save your wife
from every crumpled rose leaf under her
forty mattresses of ease, and it showed to
you that such tenderness and chiValry must
win an answering tenderness and considera-
ton. 1t rarely does, son. Unselfishness
breeds selfishness. Gentleness seems to
foster brutality in others. In all my long
two cases o. an ideal husband wife, who
didn't have devil for a mate.
"In matrimony as elsewhere, people
treat you as you demand to be treated, and
so if you stand aside and give and give
to your wife, and ask nothing of her, she
will take it all without thanks, and with
out even realizing what pig she is being.
1.-THE way to do this is to force her to
fair divide. Make her sacrifice herself
for you. Make her suffer for you. Make
her feel her responsibility for your happi-
ness. Make her feel that she is necessary
to you. That will put you again on the
map as man, and she will get interested
in you, and fall in love with you anew.
For the more woman does for a man, the
more she loves him.
"You know that it is one of the ele-
mentary principles of human psychology
that we hate the people to whom we are
under obligations, but we love those on
whom we bestow favors. The surest way
dependent on you, and the quickest way
to get fond of a person is to begin to
help him or her
There is something in feeling that we
are playing Providence to another that cod
dies our vanity and makes us feel a benefit

CAUSES OF HEADACHE
By II. AddingtOn Bruce
T lSTING the commoner causes of headaches
as renuested hN several cnrreSnnndents.

lSIlNG the COmmOner causes of headaches
as requested by several correspondents, |
would place first tendency to pay I'M
due attention to any slightly unpleasant sensa-
tons that may happen, for any reason, to be
felt in the head.
that if diSregarded, they would soon pass
away. But focusing the attention on them it
is quite possible for them to become rapidly
exaggerated into a headache.
And some good authorities are of the opin-
ion that most headaches are actually caused in
this way To quote a New York physician of
long experience:
"There are, of course, real headaches due to
definite pathological conditions. But the great
majority of headaches complained of are the
result of OverattentlOn to certain sensations.
some of them normal, some of them only
slight abnormal which are emphasized by
concentration of attention on them until they
become torment"
Probably next in importance is eyeStrain.
lnnumerable are the headaches that wel-fitting
SpectacleS have laStngly relieved. Indeed, so
common cause is eyeStra1 that, in default
OF symptoms plainly indicating some other
cause, the eye specialist is the first physician
sufferer from chronic headache should consult
After eyeStrain, in frequency of cauSation
come constipation and biliouSneSS. The "nerv-
Gus sick headache" of unfortunately common
occurrence, does not belong here, however.
Its origin is not in the alimentary tract but in
an overSehSitiveneSS of the nervous system.
Common, too, dental, throat, and nasal
headaches. Many an obstinate headache has
promptly yielded when foci of infection in
the teeth, tonSils or nasal cavities have been
treated and cleared away
Here the immediate source of trouble is in
close proximity to the aching brow. Some
very severe headaches, oddly enough, have
their origin in a source as remote from the
head as are the feet. Headache due to fallen
arches is by no means rarity.
Nor are headaches due to such hygenic in
diScretionS as working or sleeping in poorly
ventilated rooms, leading too Sedentary a life,
or wearing clothing that conStrictS the bodily
organs Tight corSetS and tight collars have
justly been incriminated as causes of headache,
Then, as need hardly be added headache may
also occur as Symptomatic of some more or less
serious disease. But headaches thus caused
are the exception, comparatively speaking How
ever since such causes must be taken into &C
count it is always wise to seek good medical
advice rather than to undertake Sef-doctoring,
whenever any headache becomes persistent or
unusually severe.
And whatever Self-doctoring is done should
never include the taking of So-called headache
powders.
Many of these contain powerful drugs that
may do more harm than good At best they
do not reveal the headaches cause. They
merely kill pain for the time being, and NAV
lead to the acquiring of hurting drug habit

cent glow when we think of him or her.
More: the realization that some one needs
us appeals to us more than anything else
on earth.
eff this is true of us all, it is doubly
and trebly true of women. 1t persists IN
even the lowest of the sex, and as long as
there is a shred of womanhood left in one,
you can arouse this instructive desire to
help those who need her and depend on
her.
''It is this spirit that makes women
stick to brute husbands who beat them and
mistreat them, and drag them down into
the depths of poverty. If you nave ever
tried to get such a woman to leave rene
gade husband you know that, nine times
out of ten, she will refuse, saying: But
what would he do without me? He needs
me- And that settles it. She would have
to be dead in her coffin before she would
be deaf to that cry for help from the help
less.
1--WE often wonder why women who are
married to good, strong, upright men, men
who stand on their own feet, turn quit
ters and reneg their marriage vows more
often than the women who have rOtters
and ne'er-do-wels and philanderers and
Ioafers for husbands. The reason is that
the woman knows that the strong man
doesn't really need her, and that the weak
ling does.
HE dips into that inexhaustible foun-
tain of maternal pity that makes a mother
always love the black sheep among her
children the best because he really needs
her most
sit is universally conceded that no
other men are as good and kind to women
as are American men, and that the Amer
lean husband is the paragon husband of the
world, yet for all of that America holds
the high divorce record.
81 often think that the reason for this
is because American men ask too little u
their wives They monopoliZe the blessed
ness of giving in the family. They do all
the sacrificing they do all the suffering,
and because they deny their wives share
in the toll and sweat that goes into the
making of the home, the woman never
really feels that she is a vital part of 1t
Her life blood hasn't gone into building
it up, so she is careless about breaking ii
up as we are about the things that have
not cost us much.
''No man makes a greater mistake than
when he tries to save his wife from every
hardship. 1t is on the battlefield that
women, as we'll as men, find their souls
1t is the stress of circumstances that calls
out what is best and finest in a woman.
1t is only the women who know what it is
to love something more than they do their
own ease and who find a joy in sacrificing
themselves for the good of another, who
are really women. The balance are dolls
$50, son, if your wife doesn't treat
you as you want to be treated, don't give
her up until you have at least tried to
make her feel that you need her, that you
need her love and her help. Ask for what
you want. Teach her that truly it is
more blessed to give than to receive.
Don't wreck your life on pride and
dumbness, as so many men and women do.

A TEXT FROM VOLTAIRE
By DR.. Frank Crane


Old Sharp-faced and sharp-witted Voltaire
had gift Of saying penetrating things.
There are two kinds of writer's. One kind
supplies information. This is cheap and COM
paratiyely easy. All it takes is hard work and
some skill at editing
The other kind makes you think Upsets
you. Opens door in your mind where you
always thought there was wall. Gives you
new viStaS. And hence makes you feel young.
Which takes genius
Voltaire was genius. He was literary
hawk, and could see things literary horses
never dreamed of.
One of his observations is this:
as it not curious that Luther, Calvin and
ZuingluS, all writer's whom nobody reads,
founded SectS that have overSpread Europe,
that the ignorant Mahomet gave religion to
Asia and Africa, and that Newton, Clarke
Locke, and LIE Clerc, the greatest philoso-
phesr and the ablest writer's of their day,
hardly were followed by small flock whose
numbers constantly dwindled?"
Humanity is queer bird. One of its most
constant quantities is envy
Pure, unadulterated envy accounts for more
things in Heaven and earth, Horatio, than are
dreamed of il your philosophy.
If you want to go far and climb high you
must not be too clever, wise or rich, or you
must learn how to conceal your excellence
as a vice.
are afraid of them.
Some one once called wit "the art of getting
ones self disliked."
Which is true not only of wit but of any
pre-eminence. For child to be too precocious
at school is to have the other children hate
him. The human animal turns and rends the
strongest.
Also for woman to be too pretty, young
man to be too successful an old man to be
too rich an actor to be too popular, a writer
to be too much in demand, speaker to be
too eloquent, and a politician to get elected,
means that all the machine guns of envy and
the Big BerthaS Of condemnation will be turned
against them.
Only mediocrity is safe in the seats of the
mighty The successful governors, presidents,
and kings are they that are careful to stick to
platitudeS.
Still, we are willing to honor genius and
brIlllance and wisdom. Only such one must
be dead, long time dead, and thoroughly de-
composed.
And this is as it should be, perhaps.
God must love Second-raterS to paraphrase

polar flight of Edward Fairfax Maui
ty accompanied by three other Americans,
from Point Barrow, Alaska, to Spitzbergen,
thence to North Cape, Norway. The airplane
has been built, the equipment is being as
sembled, and late in September the explorers
will be UP and away on the eleven hundred
and fifty miles of high adventure.
Scientific Observations of ocean, air and
ice currents given the chief objects of
the flight, and these alone would abundantly
warrant it. There is hope, however, of es-
tablishing the feasibility of the new route for
commerce. The Northwest Passage, so long
the dream and challenge of Voyaging spirits
proved, when at last it was traversed, i'm
practicable for a channel of trade. But the
trans-polar route may easily yield important
results if air shipping attains expected pro-
portions; and needless though it ap-
pears decade or SO hence it may turn out
invaluable.
At the first landing on the polar ice and at
the pole itself, are planned short by-flights,
through which it is hoped to procure much
fresh and illuminating data. The location of
the magnetic pole may thus be ascertalned
and the magnetic polar "verticity' thus de-
termined, though observations to this end
will require probably more than one trip.
flight-speed of one hundred miles an
hour is counted upon, at which rate the dis
lance of more than thousand miles could
be comprised, without stops, in little more
than eleven hours. This prodgious capacity
gives the airplane power in human affairs
as yet but dimly unprecedented. Napoleon,
after his Russian disaster, went by coach and
saddle from Wilma to Paris, a journey of some
fourteen hundred miles, in thirteen days. With
all manner of special aids he was unable to
average as much five miles an hour. Today
an ordinary traveller can cover the distance by
rail, in less than forty-eight hours. But think
Of an airplane covering it in twelve hours!
The development of the steam locomotive en-
OF fTnn itc rTI6p ho
ginnings made possible commercial and ad-
ministrative expansions which turned human
history toward vaster reaches than ever the
past had dreamed. What will be the con-
sequence of the wider and swifter powers Of
transport which the aircraft now brings to
birth? The results of the forthcoming trans
polar flight should do much toward filling in
imagination's answer.

Creameries for Georgia

4 PROPOS of the forthcoming establish
~ ment of a creamery at Ashburn the
Albany Herald remarks: "a success
ful creamery depends for it's prosperity on
profitable dairy herds in the country from
which it receives it's milk supply; neither can
prosper unless beth are prosperous. Given
intelligent supervision, dairy herd in Geor-
gia will maxi money for it's owner but the
owner must understand his business
If this good counsel were extensively ap-
piled to GeorSI natural resources for dairy
ing and allied industries, the Commonwealth
soon would be richer by millions of dollars
and by invaluable Developments. Few other
regions of America or of the world are more
beautifully endowed for this enterprise. A

~ characteristic of the entire United
States. Every State is plagued with
so much law-maklng and has been for so
long, that the average citizen is fairly dazed
by it all and, where he cannot understand,
must either laugh or cry.
Nebraska is having an embarrassing eXpe-
rience which might have fallen to the lot of
any Commonwealth. The intende' visit of
Marshal Foch to America, to attend the an
nual meeting of the American Legion, aroused
no little enthusiasm there. Straightway the
Governor of Nebraska dispatched an invita-
ton to the Marshal to deliver the principal
address at the International Aero Congress
in Omaha in November. Whereupon some
mean-minded person dug up Chapter 234 Of
the Session Laws of Nebras or 1919, in
which is provided that "alI public meetings
held within the State of Nebraska" whether
for the discussion of political or nOn-pOlltlcal
subjects, or questions of general interest,
shall be conducted in the English language
exclusively
Marshal Foch does not possess, among his
many accomplishments, the use of the Eng
lish language. Thus it follows that if the
distinguished visitor dares to address the In
ternatonfl Aero Congress in whatsoever
tongue he can, he will be guilty of mis-
demeanor" md may be fined mot less than
ten dollars nor more than one hundred
dollars"
Possibly Marshal Fool, as the New York
Times suggests, may be able by November
TO PICK up enough English TO tell the NeDfaS-
kans what he thinks of their law. Possibly
he will risk file, or possibly the patriots
in Omaha will underwrite his appearance.
In the meantime the citizens of few States
can afford to ridicule Nebraska with good
grace. On all their statute books, one pre-
diets, there are laws equally pointless as this
Nebraska law is today, and, were they strictly
enforced, situations ar more embarrassing
than that which threatens Omaha during
Marshal Fochs visit, might develop, A good
code-cleaning session of all legislatures might
not be out of order.

y bany Herald, describing Dough
erty county tract of some five
thousand acres of nut-bearing groves. An
empire of treasure and promise it truly is
and a forerunner Of many of its kind that
will pour riches into the lap of Georgia and
the South. THE lands were acquired and
planted at different times during the last
fourteen years" says the Herald; several
areas have been divided and sold off in tracts
varying from five to fifty acres each. From the
purchasers OF these tracts what is known as
the Paper Shell Pecan Growers Association
has been organized; the groves are all cult
waited with uniform care and the nuts are
gathered and consolidated at the company's
warehouse at Putney, where they are dried
out, graded and packed ready for marketing,
returns being made to each stakeholder &C
cording to his holdings in the association or
the yield of his acreage
The gathering from these groves last year
was about three hundred thousand pounds,
and is expected to increase, this year, to four
five hundred thousand.
Imagine the resultant prosperity to Geor-
gia when this enterprise has been multiplied
many times, as doubtless it will be. 1t is lit
tie more than a decade ago when there were
only some four thousand bearing pecan trees
in the entire State, those being scattered
through seven counties and receiving scarce
ly line of mention in horticultural records.
In the year 1918 the number had grown to
more than six hundred and tWenty-eight
thousand trees of bearing age, representing
yield Of more than two million seven hun
dred thousand pounds and a return to the
growers of approximately a million dollars.
The subsequent expansion of the industry has
been marked. Continued and Wide-reaching
developments appear certain from the fact
that pecans, because of their high food value
and delectable flavor, are assured OF a fast
growing world market, and also from Geor-
gia's peculiar suitability to their production.
