A MOTHER sensible statement made
by Secretary Wallace was that
"the farmer calls upon capital and la
Dor TO cease their petty chickering's
and resume production, trusting to
American institutions and the Amer
lean sense Of fair play to see that
justice is done TO both Of them The
advice may be good. but it is not
likely TO be followed. II is true that
the farmer never strikes, but, after
all. the farmer and lahorer are in n
different situation, for the farmer is
working for himself, which makes all
the difference in the werld. The man
working for himself neither strikes
nor wants anybody else to strike.
There is a hint in this of the solution
Of strikes. II the workingman can
be brought to work for himself, while
working under the direction Of his
employer. he viii not want to strike
either. Some large employers have
succeeded in bringing this situation
about, and are not vexed by strikes.

IF capital is unwilling to divide with
labor it will noh get work out of
labor. II it offers nothing but fixed
wage for fixed number of hours of
work it will get fixed product from
labor and no more, not 'foyalty,"
which labor does not owe and will not
pay. If it is hired to work a fixed
number Of hours ~ fixed wage it
will give no more than the bargain
calls for and not throw III loyalty,
which the employer seems to think
is part Of the bargain. For loyalty
the best service labor can give--there
must in justice and decency be a re-
turn. But it is worth any price that
is paid for it.

HE'S SQUARE. ANYWAY!

Poplar Bluff, Mo-, July 14.-Cupid is not the kind of a guy that he is cracked up to be.
 Failing through the ordinary method, J. s. Williams. a farmer, liv- ing near Poplar Bluff, has advertised for a wife. He told that he was 3s and that any girl 20 years older, or younger. would be eligible as an ap- plicant.
 'I am a hard-working fellow and guarantee any girl to be a good hus- band. I feel that wives are staple articles, and every man should have one. A wife is one of the necessities of a home,' he said.
 Then Williams. after considerable thought, continued: "I have but one eye, one being put cut while I was young Of course, that hampers my facial appearance somewhat, but ] want to be square and tell girls, so that they may not answer if they don't want a one-eyed man."

DAINTY SURROUNDINGS

F I think I have told before in this
 column the story of the woman who
 was really very homely but who gave
 everyone the impression that she was
 beautiful because she surrounded her
 self with beautiful objects and made
 her person, her clothes and her home
 eXquisitely dainty. She wasn't rich, in
 fact she was rather poor. She wasn't
 particularly intelligent nor even very clever. What she did any woman can
 do.
 Like Mrs x. every woman wants to seem beautiful Mrs. x. felt that she
 was somewhat colorless, having drab color hair and small light eyes, so she
 introduced color into ther home. She had walls done in pale yellow to make
 a sunny background. and against their plainness she put cheery and distinc- tive looking cretonnes. Where fur
 niture was hopelessly heavy, cumber-
 some and ugly she used bright toned channels. She herself had an awk- ward, ungainly figure and felt that she had a sombre personality. She did not want to emphasize this by living with dull backgrounds, and heavy fur niture.
 | As she could not spend money buy | ing new and artistic things, and as fthere is a limit even to the possibili- 1 ties of paint and enamel, she found | many partts of her house unsatisfac- tory after the rejuvenation. But | wherever a room did not entirely 1 please her she put flowers, not ugly l rubber plans or stiff palms, but softly | hanging ivy and flowers with colorful | blooms. In the summer she made herself quaint old-fashioned garden.

Heart And Home
 Problems
By Mrs. Elizabeth Thompson.

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I. am a mar ried woman thirty-six years old. I have two girls school age-one in grade. They are twelve and four teen years old. They have vacation now and sometimes they fairly make me crazy with the noise they make. I should not think they would be so noisy at that age. They act nervous and at times there is no living with them. Then they are impudent to me and are awfully mean. Then in a little while they are all right.
 My mother stays here and they stick up for her and are saucy to me. They think I ought not to say anything to her. At times I cer- tainly have the right to tell her things because she is getting child ish at eighty-two. She is mean to me too then.
 Do you think I ought to stand for this? My husband thinks I ought to overlook things, but at times I think she is causing unhappiness in the family and that the children are that way on account of her. It hurts me to have them act so. Even when I don't say anything they get awfully noisy and unruly-
 One daughters learns music and she doesn't seem to have much 1n- terest in it lately.
 Am I at fault or my mother? What do YOU think I should do?
 l. SICK AT HEART. To be very frank I think you are at fault because you are nervous and over tired. Children are usually very just and since they take part with your mother when they correct you, you may be sure you are not in the | right A great deal that she does

ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS

To all of you who have written me
 telling how much you have benefited
 by following my red duCing advice, l
 thank you fervently. You must know
 that it gives me great happiness, for I
 know even more than you do what l have saved you from. There is no
 doubt but what your lives have been saved for many years of usefulness. Letters are coming in now by the hundreds. I wish I could write you all personally and thank you for letting me know that my work is bringing such splendid results. But you can see that that would be well nigh inn possible to do and have time for any other work.
 So you will excuse me, know. Please do not think that I do not ap- preciate every letter l have received. Every one makes me happy and makes me more eager to go on with the work.
 Each one of you is now an example of what can be done, and you are go- ing to be teachers to help in the work of Iife-saving. I do not use too strong language when | say this, for it is lit erally true.
 Will you remember that the rule of the column is that I cannot prescribe for individuals, that only problems that are of general interest can be discussed Tn this column, and that l cannot write individual letters? I cannot make diagnoses for you. That is difficult enough for a physi-
 elan when he can make a physical ex- animation and get a full history. You must go to your own physicians for diagnoses. And remember, my aim is not the tratnent of disease, but the prevention of disease and the promo ton of health. That, of course, is the aim of all physicians, but until the time when there is much more en- Hghtenment, treatment will be neces- sary.
 I don't mind your writing to me your troubles, for oftentimes I can get material for the column from them. But you will have to watch the col umn for the answers if they can be answered, and please remember that it may take some time before it ap- pears. And if I have taken the sub Personally, I wish I could write on subjects pertaining to nutrition and to babies and children alone, for those subjects undoubtedly are what the great majority are most interested in. | However, we must at times help the
 min ority.

MIGUEL'S STORY

In the middle of the evening just as fiona had finished a dance with the more than adoring Roger who fairly hung on her slightest word there was a stir at one end of the room where a party of late arrivals had entered. Ilona looked over cas- uaIly and noticed several young men in the party, but she went on danc- ing with young Jerry Peters uncon- cernedly.
 It was at the end of the dance as she was hurrying to put a few touches of powder to her nose and have a chat with the girls in the conservatory, that she ran and twist ed her foot out of its slipper. Then looking up to see whom she hao bumped into and who was steadyfns her with a strong arm. found herseli looking into the astonished dark eyes of Miguel.
 The blood receded from her cheeks and she felt herself grow suddenly faint as she recognized him. Then with a brave show of control, she smiled and said Miguel. what or earth are you doing here?'

 world in general Her failure to ad- just herself to Carlotta was bad enough; but her fiat refusal to put herself right with Rosa Cordova in- clined me to fly out at her in most unhostess-like fashion.
 When she thanked me for pleas ant evening and left, there was cer- tain constraint between us which cer- tainly wasn't my fault. But, know- ing Mabel as I do, I'm not inclosed
 now to blame her, either. Neither Mabel nor Rose nor Car lotta was permitted to claim my full attention, however. Even my busi- ness had to be pushed into the back
 ground. The one big, outstanding
 fact in my life, from the moment I
 said good night to Carlotta and was this:
 I'm meeting Virginia tomorrow for lunch. After snubbing me unmerci- fully, she has sought me at last l
 wanted to go to her-for Jim's sake
 but she came to me frst.' With this in mind I went through the motions of attending to my own
 business affairs next morning and taking part in the "conference'' with Mabel and Rosa in Jim's office with out once completely forgetting what I had ahead.
 Would the meeting with Virginia be an ordeal? Would it pass off light ly and casualty without any Thigh spots"? Or would it bring us into such close accord that we could never | again drift as far apart as we've been since Phoebe's elopement with Neal i loosed the tides of Virginia's fury against me?
 Even now that the meeting is ar | accomplished fact, I don't know the answer to my own question. My appointment with Virginia was | for 1880, but I hurried to the tea
 room via taxi in order to be first. | wanted to locate myself at a table un- | der one of the friendly red umbrellas

 room. Then when Virginia came

 I burst out with a confession: l What I'd like to reply, like a lit

 The fourth was a sort of letter, but without date, heading or sigma ture. It read:
 Your steamer has been delayed and will not sail at eleven o'clock the day after tomorrow, but about midnight. Be on board by eleven o'clock that night, and allow yourself plenty of time on the pier.
 Begin making your purchases early tomorrow morning. Do not hurry or rush yourself. but do not waste time over them. Be particular not to exceed the measurements given for your trunks and your valise, but do not fall short of them any more than you must.
 Everything else you need will reach you in good time for your steamer. Be careful that all your baggage reaches the steamer soon enough.

CHAPTER III NL G-n


 At dinner the following day gently broke the good news to my enraptur- ed aunts. Next morning, all tears and smiles together they bade me farewell at the station, and stood waving handkerchiefs after me.
 I entered New York by ferry from Jersey City. I took my post as far forward on the ferry-boat as could get.
 No sooner had I taken my stand at the catch of the folding gate, than my eyes fell on a charming girl. She was tall, and straight She was of a type I had long been proud to re- cognize as definitely American. Her beauty was as manifest through that veil as though she had been unveiled.
 So were her very unusual eyes All the way across the ferry stole glances at her, trying to analyze her charm.
 My transport did not last long. At the New York pier she vanished into a cab.
 When I regisN-ed at the hotel the clerk handed me a long. fat en- velope, addressed in typewriter script. written with purple ribbon:
 MT. Reale M. Weigh.
 Fifth Avenue. Hotel,
 After I had been shown to my room, I opened the envelope.
 Inside it were two smaller enve- lopes, blank and unsealed. One contained ten twenty-d o1lar bills. the other four papers. All were written-in the same violet typsscript as the address The first was headed: What you will need, whether you think so or not
 It gave a long list of articles and one or more names of dealers. The second was headed:

 Questions and Answers
 Is exercise in middle life harm fu1? --------
 No, just as beneficial and necessaE x as at any other time. Begin gradu- ally and increase slowly until you can with vim, vigor and verve.
 Should ali starchy foods be toasted when one has acid stomach?
 From your letter I see you are over- weight. You won't have acid stonn- ach if you eat in moderation and chew thoroughly. Eat very little starchy food while reducing. Toasting bread dextrinizes the starch and does make it more ca silly digeSted. It is just as fattening one way as the other. To those who say they eat no bread at all, only toast, this will startle.
 
 There are most methods which I will look up and write about later. However, the most eff1cacious way is to just stop. It can be done. | know gentleman-rather well, fancy, having lived with him for so many years that I have stopped tell ing how long we have been matri- mentally entang1ed-who quits smok- ing suddenly and goes months at Q time without tobacco, seemingly without any trouble I haven't no- ticed that he is any meaner at those times than usual (Gosh, when he sees this!)
 Are operations for cross eyes good?
 There are some crossed eyes that nothing but an operation will remedy. When the eye muscles are permanent ly affected an operation is indicated. It is not so awfully serious. See your eye specialist.
 Dropsy usually is a symptom of your physician. Count your calories and no not eat more than you need and eat less than you need if you are overweight. Gut out all salt, even in cooking, for awhile. See your phy- sician.

should be forgiven because of her old age I realize of course that it is very hard for you to put up with disagree able things and you are nervous as a result. You must find way, how ever and if vacation is possible by all means take one.
 Your daughters are old enough to take charge of the home while you go away. They could care for their grandmother and keep house. You probably think they are too irrespon- sible to do so, but if you give them a chance you will find they do very well and appreciate the confidence you place in them. This would give them something useful to occupy their time and they would not be in terested in noisy play.
 Very few children like to prac- tice. They may keep up with their music lessons very well at first, but after awhile they tire of practicing g and do not care whether they learn to play or not. Your daughter is only like the rest in this respect
 Another reason I think you are in the wrong is because your husband thinks you should be more tolerant of your mother. A man is the first one to take sides against his mother in-law if the mother-in-law is in the wrong. Ask your husband to help you to overcome your durability. Tell him that you are nervous and that it will help a great deal if he controls the children. Send them out of the house to play when their noise inside dtsturbs you.
