Dorothy Dix Talks

YOUNG man who is about to enter into
~ the holy estate asks me If I will give
him few tips about how to get along
with the beauteous young creature with
whom he Is entering into life partnership,
and whom he suddenly realizes is the strang-
est person on earth to him.
Well, son, If you want to be happy though
married you have got to begin by picking out
the right sort Of wife, and by the right sort
of wife I mean a women who has good, hard,
horse sense and sense Of humor. Brains
and funny bone, on both sides Of the house,
are the two essentials to happy home.
It's only fools, and the deadly serious who
are hopeless. People who have Intelligence
enough to see straight, and good humor
enough to laugh over difficulties instead Of
bowling over them, can be counted on to
make the best of every situation. Even mat
rimony. It's the narrow minded and the
morbid who make marriage failure.
also hope that you have had intelligence
enough to select the kind of wife you desire,
instead of having picked out something that
over according to your ideals. It can't be
done, son, and the Home for Incurable Imbe-
Giles yawns for the foolhardy who try the ex-
pertinent.
If you want thrifty and domestic wife,
don't marry fashion plate and society
butterfly. If you want an intelligent COM
panion don't marry silly little girly girl
who hasn't an idea above the puffs over her
ears.
II you want a home keeping wife, don't
marry girl whose idea of heaven is a place
where there is a perpetual jazz band bray
ing, and people who are dancing around
among the tables.
Reforming is doubtless fascinating d.
version, If we may judge by the number of
people who engage in it, but it must always
be narrowing experience for the one who
is being reformed Certainly no woman $
vanity can stand the ordeal Of finding out
that her husband doesn't admire her, or ap-
prove Of her, and that he wants to change
her into the similitude of some woman he
didn't marry.
Matrimony has enough disollusions in it,
at BEST even when we think we have mar
ried the one individual who is all our fond
est fancy painted. What it must be where
either husband or wife is trying to cut the
other over to his or her notion, one trembles
to think Some rough house, I'll say.
Having picked out in intelligent woman,
and one who comes up to your ideal. begin
by making her your partner in reality, as
we'll as in theory. Let her in on the ground
floor of your life Tell her the truth about
what you make, and share with her fifty-fifty
in your anxieties, your struggles, your pleas
ures and perquisites.
When man has a fool wife it is his
own fault, because he picked her out and
marriad her. When he has doll wife
he has only himself to blame, because he

II asking, can Germany pay? Now they
perceive that, at least in so far as
France is concerned, she is not only paying
but also profiting. Since the memorable
Weisbaden conference between DR.. Rathenau,
German minister Of reconstruction, and M
Loucheur, French minister of the devastated
regions, relations between Berlin and Paris
appear to have been singularly satisfactory.
These two business-minded statesmen agreed
many could promptly discharge her ob1iga-
lions as they fell due, and that this was in
goods and services Hence there has been
pouring westward across the border great
quantities Of materials and manufactured
products, the output Of German resources and
industry. This has expedited the rehabilita-
tion of France and has doubly assured the
collection of her war claims. At the same
time 1t has stimulated Germany's industrial
life, increased her productive power. kept
her workmen employed, and thus made for
prosperity.
AS to the inter-Allied effect Of this pro-
cedure, European correspondents Of the
American press are of rather diverse opin-
ion. It is agreed, however, that Germany s
debt to France will be paid more quickly on
account of the special agreement of Weis-
baden, and that Frances credit will recover
rapidly on the international market in pro-
portion to the advantage which she has in
sured for herself" That Germany's indus
trial strength and wealth will be increased in
the process is not denied; but Frame is too
thrifty and far-visioned to forego an enrich
ing opportunity simply in order to keep
Germany poor.
The situation has its obvious lesson for
the tariff tinkerers of the United States. Bill
lions of dollars are owed to America in wal
debts which can not be paid in gold and
which, all things considered, were better not
paid in gold, certainly at this juncture
Goods and services offer the only available
means of liquidation. But If tariff duties are
made so high as virtually to preclude imports,
what will become of American claims and the
great national interests which they involve?
Merest prudence should dissuade Congress
from step so unbusinesslike and SO hazard

When Prophets Disagree

~ UGH portents as the growth OF unusu-
ally heavy fur on forest creatures and
unusually thick bark on trees, along
with the squirrels anxious labors to fill his
granary betimes, are cited by Canadian trap
pers as warning a severe winter. Comes a
New England sage, however. who Is reported
as predicting, after keen perusal or corn
husks, hen feathers and like auguries, that
the winter will be $50 so-not as warm az
the last, nor as hard as that Of 1919-192O.
From rural haunts Of Mississippi still an
other savant gravely AYERS. upon his fame as
prognosticator from the breast bone OF the
goose, that this winter will be uncommonly
mild.
Not often has the laity so liberal choice
among prophets. Those whose business 1t is
to ''look into the seeds Of time usually give
us q yea yea or nay nay and leaves US IN
simple faith or simple doubt. But in this
instance the seer of the hen feather, with
his mysterious $50 so" complicates the mat
ter beyond precedent. Were he politician
pronouncing upon some delicate issue or state
we might suspect him Of trying to straddle.
But men who breathe the air OF nature
homely oracles, such as corn husks and oarn-
yard plumage and the breast bones OF guile
less geese. are above that suspicion. The Del
phic priestess may have equivocated In send
ing word to King Croesus that IL he marched
against the Persians he would destroy great
empire, but when Colonel Jefferson Shack
1eford Mills looks at new moon or night
of crows and makes a forecast concerning
the weather, the winter or whatnot we know
that he speaks from the depths of an honest
heart as well from wide reading Of nature S
infinite book of secrecy"
The conclusion of the matter would seem
to be that one may take his choice freely
amongst this conflict Of prophets hibernal.
At least, if the winter is neither rigorous nor
mild, it will be $50 so.' One Of the three
will hit nit right.

How to Be Happy Though Married

BY DORO THY DIX

never developed her. He never gave her a
chance to be anything else but a dressed
up toy. When man has selfish wife who
ruins him by her extravaganza it Is like
wise his fault because he has never taught
her to think Of anything but herself.
Half the women in the world who ruin
their husbands spend as sort of revenge,
do it through sheer ignorance. They have
no idea OF what their husbands make and
so they throw away money that they would
not dream of wasting If they knew just how
matters stood. They have an idea that all
men crouch over bills, and they do not know
that their husbands protest over an exhor-
bitant millinery bill is the cry of a man
whose very life is being ground out between
the upper and neither millstones of senseless
spending.
And the other half OF women who ruin
thelr husbands spond as sort of revenge
because their husbands are more absorbed
in business than they are In them. eff my
husband gives all of his time and thought
to his old office, I'll make him pay for it."
is the thought of many woman who decks
herself in Paris finery and goes out alone
to the sad enjoyment of trying to have
good time by yourself.
So, son, il you want a wife who will be
real helpmeet to you, tell her about all
your business affairs, and she will be as
eager 10 save ana nelp you get on as you
are yourself. You never hear of bust
ness firm in which husband and wife are
active partners, going into bankruptcy
Tell your wife your worries. Women have
got to have something to worry over, any
way, and it is far better for one to have
real live anxiety than an imaginary one.
Above ALL see to it that your wife has
plenty to do. Keep her busy Satan finds
work for idle hands to do, and he doubles up
on the job when they are feminine hands. 1t
is the women who are Tapped in luxury, and
who have nothing on earth to do but to kill
time who find out that their husbands don't
understand them, and that they have missed
their soul mates, and who have nervous pros
trations, and fill the sanitariums for neu-
rotics.
Every mans dream is Of being able to put
the woman he loves into silk paded bon bon
box where all she will have to do will be to
sit on a silk cushion and feed upon sugar,
Strawberries and cream.
To provide this sort of feminine elisium
for their wives and daughters millions of he
roic and misguided men have worked them
selves to death, yet hate could do a woman
no deadlier wrong than to doom her to such
an idle, purposeless existence.
So, son, if you want to be happy though
married, pick out a wife with common sense
and good humor. Make her your partner
and keep her busy, and your marriage will be
a success.

Hasten This Good Radiance

what it should be, the great beef and milk
and leather producing section. must wipe out
the tick
This counsel, unbeatable though 1t Is, can
not be urged too often. Millions Of wealth
and opportunities valuable beyond measure
are lost. simply because this obviously proper
course Is not followed with due vigor. 1t is
known to all who have looked into the mat
ter that during the first decade OF the cam
paign to rid Dixie Of the cattle tick this region
made greater progress in da1rylng and kin

preceding. It is known, moreover, that those
States and counties which have freed them
selves from this parasite are leaders in live
stock raising, and, as rule, in every realm
Of agricultural prosperity. Indeed, SO mani
fest Is the Importance OF extirpating ticks
from the Southern country that one might
suppose every farm within its bounds to be
working earnestly to that end.
The fact Is, however, considerable areas of
certain States are still infested and are NOV
ing but laggardly for eradication, while in
some there has been violent prejudice against
well tried and thoroughly approved meas
ures Of relief. This, happily, is not the pre-
vailing condition. The larger part of the
South has been purged Of the tick, and in
the still quarantined districts rightly inform
ed owners of cattle, not only are unopposed
to State and Federal efforts to complete the
good radiance, but also are giving their own
most earnest cooperation. But we can not
afford to rest until the work is finished to
the last county and the last farm. Whatever
legislation may be needful to that end should
be enacted N justice to the common inter-
ests; and above all, individual farmers and
communities should lend helping hand.

TO PUT WEIGHT ON
By H. Addington Bruce

TN HE world abounds in people who are
needlessly underweight for their
| L. heights and ages simply because, at
| tributing their underweight to constitution
al tendency to thinness, they make no real
effort to get at it's cause and correct 1t.
| Doubtless in some cases people are SO
constituted that they must remain abnormal
ly thin all their lives. But in most cases thin
ness is an acquired defect. And in many
| cases it is the result not of faulty feeding
so much as of faulty mode of living akin to
that practised by an eminent professional
man Of my acquaintance.
Taking himself and his work overseriously,
| he keeps at high pressure all the while. If he
knows the meaning of the word relax he
does not seem to think that it should have
any practical application to himself.
He plays no games whatever The only
exercise he gets is a rushing walk between his
home and his office a mile away. And even
during these short walks he is mulling and
| worrying about his work.
Once / asked him why he did not try to
put bit more flesh-for he is lamentably
thin. His answer was a quick hurried:
Its of no use. I was born thin and must
always stay So Thinness is a family trait.
Look at my children
But children Of such tense, habitually
fatigued father would almost inevitably &C
quire by imitation, similar habit of tense
ness. Then they, too, would become over
fatigued and poorly nourished, and would in
consequence be thin.
II only that father could be persuaded to
''let down" at frequent intervals during the
day, to replace his anxious mood by a domi-
nantly cheerful one, and occasionally to for
get his work in some pleasurable diversion
of non-exhausting character, it is safe to
predict that he would soon begin to put on
weight. His children, in so far as they fol-
lowed his example, would ut on weight like
wise.
And as with him and them, so with large
number of other unfortunltes who perhaps
wonder why fattening foods do not fatten
them.
Worry in any great degree-or mild worry
long continued-makes directly for thinness.
So does failure to take sufficient sleep at
night. So, again, does failure to exercise
regularly in the open air.
Overexercise, of course, promotes leanness,
because the resulting overfatigue interferes
with the proper digestion and assimilation of
whatever food is eaten. But mild exercise
particularly outdoor exercise-stimulates the
digestive and assimilative processes. Then,
if worry is absent and the diet contains an
ample supply of fats, fuel foods, and vita
minis, gain in weight is pretty sure to fol-
low.
This is the explanation of the weight gains
frequently reported by people after a yaca-
ton in the country.
81 exercised so steadily" they say, in as
constituent, "that + ought to have lost
weight. Instead I gained"
It was the combination of exercise, good
food, fresh air, and-most important of all,
in many cases-freedom from the tenseness
of the mode of life at home, that worked the
seeming miracle.

SPRING CONDEMNED
ALIMONY CLUB

Baltimore's pay-as-you-enter alimony club
has been disbanded. In the bygone days,
when Judge Robert r. Stanton put the fear
Of the law into the hearts of those men who
saw only the this-way-out sign above the door
of their marital obligations the alimony club
was an institution both at the Jail and the
House of Correction.
But Judge Charles F. Heuisler, who pre-
sides over the destinies Of the matrimonial
disaffected, now thinks the men are more
to be pitied than censored.
''The cost of living Is going up all the
time" said Judge Heuisler. During the war,
when laborers received as much as $85
week and got married with as little thought
as they earned their money, things were diff
ferent. Then man who tried to dodge his
alimony deserved all he got and more, too
Now it Is difficult matter to tell whether
man is really unable to pay or is trying to
escape from his obligations" So the Judge
has decided against sending them into Jail.
