THE fact is that great init
l. macy is intolerable between
two human beings without great
love. The wife has It, usually.
The in.laws do not have 1t. usu.
ally.
The best.known way to get
along with ones wife's relations
is at long distance. When you
live in Omaha and they live in
Baltimore, and you only visit
about once a year, you can
manage very well. But when
they live over in the next block
and drop in any time Of the day,
It Is very much like being under
the surveillance of detectives.
Still, in-laws are good for us.
They exercise our self.restraint

DELATIVEs are difficult. And
~ in-laws are relatives inten-
sified.
1t Is sometimes difficult to
get along with relatives because
they know US too well, just as 1t
is hard to get along with
strangers because they don't
know US well enough. 1t is al
ways something.
When It comes to in-laws,
however, we have to deal with
people who are brought into a
certain intimacy with US and
whose traditions and points OF
view are quite frequently incon-
sistent with our own.
Marriage would be much
simpler II every wife was an
orphan and had no kin.
TT Is not a light task for a man
L and woman brought sudden
ly into the close relations Of
marriage to adjust themselves
to each other and to work out
a program so that they can
maintain harmony and at the
same time retain enough liberty
to keep the intimacy from gall
ing.
And this problem becomes still
more difficult when II Is mixed
up with in-laws belonging to a
family not our own and having
all sorts of convictions which we
do not share.
In-laws can not be treated as
enemies and they cannot always
be treated as friends. Sometimes
they are a little of both. And
while we feel that they are
really enemies you have to act
toward them as IL they were
friends.

insufferable old bore. And your
wife's cousin, Jennie, who Is the
only one of her relatives that
you really like, is the one that
she cannot tolerate.
CALLING through these rocks
~ you learn a good deal about
navigation, and are lucky "
you can complete your educa-
ton without shipwreck.
One peculiar thing about in
laws is that they never can be-
heve that you have changed.
The first imp, ession they had
of you is the one they persist
in sticking to. They have
tenacious memories, and they
have a sense of justice that
would do credit to the Record
ing Angel.
Ordinary friendship is rather
fluid. II you do not like a
friend, you can sfsilfully get rid
of him, but in.laws are like the
poor-they are with you always.
THERE is another peculiar
l. thing about in.laws where
in they differ from friends.
When you meet a friend that
you have not seen for some
years the interview is delight
full, because you both recall
pleasant things. But somehow
when you meet an in-law and get
to talking about what happened
ten years ago. he has a deadly
accuracy in remembering those
things which you have been try
ing to forget.
There are mothers-in-law,
however, who have the blessed
faculty of understanding. They
are natural born peacemakers,
and are endowed with that tact
which is the sum of all virtues.
The price of such is beyond
rubies.
And there are brothers.in'
law and fathers.in.law that
know when to mix in and when
to stay away. That they are
rare renders then. only the more
priceless.

MEN BLIND TO WOMAN'S

How many men, think you, have any
idea of the pain endured by women in
their own household, and often without
murmur? They have no patience when
the overworked wife and mother begins
to get pale, have headaches, backaches,
faint spells, or is melancholy and cannot
sleep. There is help for every woman in
this condition, as evidenced by the many
voluntary letters. of recommendation
which we are continually publishing in

who suffers from such ailments to give
it a trial.-AdVertisment

 Questions and Answers
 o. I have read that soaking seed in a strong solution of permanga nate of potash will destroy disease that seed carry. Do you think it will? Mrs. l..
 A. Permanganate of potash Is great antiseptic, destroyer of bac- teria and fungi. but would have to be used with caution. One or two grains to the ounce of water would be strong enough and the seed should remain in the solution but few minutes, then taken out and dried before planting, Some seed that have hard shells might remain in so- lution longer without injury to the germ.
 o. Could I grow the century plant here in Birmingham? Mrs. E., Ems ley, Ala.
 A. It depends really on what plant is meant, as the term century is ap- piled to several different plants. In Arizona, California and the west. century plant, Agave Americana, Is often grown whose flower stem reaches to a heightof 10 to 25 feet, but there Is no beauty to the flower, and then the plant dies after flower Ing. It is an interesting curiosity.

When you ask him what he cultivates. he will tell you birds. If you go over his place you will be astonished at the number and variety of birds that have their habitat round about him. He does not cultivate great deal of land, be- cause he has no tenants or hired help, but what he does attempt Is revelation In quality and quantity. 1 asked him how he managed to con trol the insects. He said his pets, the birds, did it for him. You could we'll believe him from the local con ditions observed.
