DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

her blunder into the first ill-paid
job she can get.
If he is well.to-do he puts every
obstacle he can in the way of her
fitting herself for some work that
will make her financially independ-
ent. He thinks she should be salts
fled to have a few pretty frOcks and
go to parties, and he does not think
it worth while to give her that with
in herself that will enable her to
support herself when he is dead,
or if she should not marry.
The average girl goes to her hus-
band as ignorant of money as an
unborn babe. She has never had an
allowance. She has never had the
actual handling Of any money.
Everything she has had has been
given to her, and her financial plat
form consists in the belief that the
more you can wheedle out of man
the better manager you are.
No wonder so many young wives
are foolishly extravaganza! No won
der they ruin their husbands. No
wonder that the first years of mat
rimony are embittered with SQUAD
bles over money that lead to the
divorce courts. For many and many
a marriage that goes on the rocks
would have had a prosperous vOya sc
across the matrimonial sea if only
the brides father had taught her
how to steer a safe f.nanc, al course.
The greatest wrong that men do
women, however, consists in not
teaching them how to take care of
the money they leave them when
they die. A man spends his life
toiling and sacrificing to lay up
enough money to keep his wife com
Portable after he is no longer able
to take care of her. but he does not
teach her even the rudiments OF
how to take care of 1t.
do not suppose that there is one
man in ten thousand who ever gives
cation Of his wife along financial
lines. Very few men ever talk over
their business and their investments
with their wives. Very few husbands
ever explain to their wives the diff
ference between gilt-edge invest
ments and wildcat stocks. Very few
husbands ever teach their wives why
certain things are good investments
and others are bad, nor impress on
them the necessity of playing safe
and never touching their capital
The result is that when a man
dies and his widow comes into his
property, she is the shining mark
for every promoter Of fake concerns
and get-rich-quick enterprises that
comes along. And what they don t
get, the deacon in her, church or
some relative borrows without Sc
curity.
1t is as easy to rob these women
as it is to take money from a child,
and when they are old and broken
and thrown on the cold charity of
the world it is the fault Of their hus-
bands and fathers who never taught
them how to protect themselves.
For there is no inhibition in the
feminine intellect that prevents it
from grasping the essential facts
about handling money. Women show
that by being better economists than
men. 1t is only because they are
left in ignorance of the thing they
most need to know that they are
devoured by the financial wolves
mo prey on widows and I'D maids.

[Allu' SSHSi dliN
speaking, whether
a man gets on in the world and be-
comes rich and prosperous, or
whether he stays poor, at the foot
of the ladder, depends not so much
on what he makes as on how his
wife spends. There are, of course,
A few men Of financial genius who
can make more money than a wOm-
an can waste. but the great ma
iority of men have no Midas touch
that turns everything to gold. They
are made or ruined by the thrift
or lack of thrift Of their wives.
Since, then, virtually all of the
money in the world passes through
women's fingers, and what they do
with it is a life-and-death matter
with men, is it not a curious thing
that fathers and husbands have
never thought it worth while to
try to teach their wives and daugh-
ters how to handle money wisely
and we'll?
Every man knows that his own
wel-being has depended upon his
wife's financial sagacity. He knows
that the prosperity of some other
man and the safety of his daughter

gets married.
He further knows that the posses
sion of money is far more important
to a woman than it ever is to
man. He knows that a boy with
out money can always get some job
by which he can earn an honest liV-
ing, but that the pretty, penniless
girl must often sell her soul for
bread. He knows that there is no
other creature on earth so fOrlorn
and helpless as the middle-aged do
mestic woman with an empty purse
and no trade by which to fill it.
Yet, knowing all of these things,
men who love women make no eff
fort to teach them either how to
make money or to take care Of it.
A father would think himself very
amiss in his duty if he did not teach
his son some gainful OcCupa ton, and
help him get a start in life. But
he feels no such duty, toward his
daughter. II he is poor he does
not make q sacrifice to have her

seed early in the spring in rows

mature they are only one-half to
one inch in diameter. | gather
them all in July or August and save
them for October planting. They
produce wonderfully fine onions
during the early spring and sum

easily weigh a pound raised in the

onion seed at this season of the
year provided a favorable season
can be secured in the soil. AS we

seeds at this season. if you are in

SAGE TEA DANDY
 TO DARKEN HAIR
It's Grandmother's Recipe to Bring
 Back Color and Lustre to Hair.

You can turn gray, faded hair beautifully dark and lustrous almost over night if you'll get bottle of "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Com pound" at any drug store. Millions of bottle of this old famous Sage Tea Recipe. improved by the addition of other ingredients, are sold annually, says a well known druggist here, be- cause it darkens the hair so natural ly and evenly that no one can tell it has been applied.
 Those whose hair is turning gray or becoming faded have surprise awaiting them, because after one or two applications the gray hair van- ishes and your locks become luxur- iantly dark and beautiful.
 This Is the age of youth. Gray haired, unattractive folks aren't want ed around, so get busy with Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Compound tonight and you'll be delighted with your dark, handsome hair and your youth full appearance within a few days.
