How can a man with a wife and
two children live on $50 month.
when Judge Adams finds 1t impos-
sible for a couple to live on 800?
Now that is the wage the section
men receive. There Is nothing left
for clothes. and what about doctor
bills? Everyone has them at times.
I'll wager no woman can feed a
family OF four on 81 a day and say
they are living. They are merely
existing.
How many Of those men that are
forever harping about cutting the

F. L. Carroll: With the name Of Congress
man c. F. Reavis connected with the war frauds
prosecutions, the people Of the nation may feel
assured that the effort will not be whitewash
Mr. Reavis should be able to expose the enemies
OF the government in and out Of congress. The
statement Of Attorney General Daugherty that
out of sixty lawyers whom he had invited to
assist him in the prosecution Of persons assumed
to be involved in fraudulent war contracts he
was unable to secure the services of one may be
the cause of so much criticism concerning the
attorney general. We are still enveloped in q
maze Of propaganda, and 1t is encouraging to
find people who are willing to tell and work to
develope the truth. ....

Sorrows Of Housecleaning.

From the Cozad (Neb) Local. &.
The average man looks at housekeeping
with impatient disapproval. He considers that
the job was thoroughly done last fall, so why
must 1t be done over again?
So, after the women folks have scrubbed and
swept all day with remorseless yigor, with no
complaint Of the dusty and toilsome labor, he
comes home and finding his customary nests
and possessions disarranged, begins to offer
sulky complaints.
The housecleaning spirit, however is the
heritage Of good old time housewifery. The
modern fapper, whose mind is more upon the
arts Of Irritation than upon those of domesticity,
may not, IN future years, vex her husband with
these periodical turmoils. But her mother was
trained In severe school. She early acquired
hatred of dirt She brandishes the duster and
the sweeper with something Of the Joy mani.
tested by the knight Of old when he set out
swinging his good sword to do glorious battle
against the inndel.
ne owes to this good housewifery. 1t creates
the sanitary conditions that protect life and
health against the attack Of disease.
Wife and $50 Month.
From the New Orleans Times picayme
1t is said that the War department probably
viii make an investigation to ascertain in what
manner the government might relieve the finan.
cial distress OF many soldiers who returned from
the Rhineland with foreign wives. According to
reports, large number Of these young men and
stances, with child or children in many in
stances to be taken into consideration It is
estimated that In Portland, Me, alone from sixty
to seventy German wives of enlisted men are liv-
ing on charity.
The soldiers pay is $40 a month-not drop
in the bucket on this side Of the ocean, although
1t was ample In Germany. At one time the mark
was rated at 800 to the dollar and the American
doughboy and his wife could live high on such
an income "over there" but they got a jolt
when they came to America. In most cases the
wives must hunt for work that is hard to find
and II there are children the problem Of main
tenance is even more difficult. 1t is wrong to
permit such conditions to exist IL the govern
ment can be Of any assistance. 1t is suggested
that the practical thing to do is to discharge all
such soldiers and aid them in finding more re-
munerative employment. Whatever is done for
them should be done without delay
