There are evil spirits which

hold with Phillips Brooks
that ''alI prohibitory measures
are negative. That they. have
their uses no one can doubt.
That they have their limits is
just as clear"
The stronghold of intemper-
ance lies in the vacancy and
despair of mems minds.
The way to attack it is to
make the sober life beautiful
and happy and full of interest.
Make the life of your COM

take away the power Of the

intemperance.

OUR HOUSEHOLD
CONDUCTED BY LIZZIE O. THOMAS

They had Just voted for bonds to

OF course this calamity will retard
their progress, but as the years roll
over their heads there will be many
changes made.
Now is the time when we, who are
in land of plenty, must do without
as much as we can and add to the
fund that the churches must raise
to help our missionaries feed the
starving, nourish the orphans and
get homes for the homeless.
AS you read about the cities that
were destroyed you wonder how to
pronounce those names. Here is
the key, and such simple one. Ev-
cry vowel ends a syllable, except
where it is ~" the Y is slurred. Yo-
ko-hama, is the way that it is di-
vided. Use the long Q and broad A.

the sound it has in men. L lived in
the city Of Hi-roo-shi-ma. Tt is pro
nounced as if spelled HerOshemah.
You will read of A-o-ya-ma. That
was where the northern MethOdists
had their schools, and they were in
deed power for good.
DR.. and Mrs. Newton, whose pic
lures were in a recent issue of this
paper are known and loved from
one end of Japan to the other. They
were spiritual father and mother to
the many hundred young men and
boys that attended the school and
college of which DR.. Newton was so
long dean.
Think of the great work. Thirty
five years DR. Newton spent work
ing in a school, sending out men to
undertake every sort of work, open
ing The eyes of the spiritually blind
and making such an impression on
them that in times of stress, in
times of uncertainty those men
whose eyes have been trained to see
the right, or minds desired to know
what is right, turn TO him as they
did when students.

and buried. Then, on certain occa-
sions the families that are not be
levers in God and in our Savior take
the things the dead liked best and
place a the grave. They also burn
incense at stated times, and fully
expect the dead to return to this life

other processes of extraction may
also be employed. This makes the
grinding of the bones easier and
gives the material certain ad
vantages for use in association with
fruit trees which raw bone may nor,
possess. We have not made tests
to compare the value of these two
materials, but they have been used
so long as sources of phosphoric acid
and other fertilizer ingredients that
their status is fairly well known and,
appreciated. Bone meal is regarded
with favor by fruit growers because
of the fact that plant food it con-
tains does not become available all
at once, but is made available
throughout the relatively long sea
son of growth which is character
istic of our orchard trees. 1t is gen.
orally thought to be good practice
to include some OF it in formula
for fruit trees. For instance, one
might make up a formula on the
following basis with some advantage
for this purpose:
-Four hundred pounds OF cotton
seed meal or some other satisfactory
carrier of nitrogen, 400 pounds OF
bone meal. 100 pounds of acid phos-
phate, $50 pounds of potassium
chloride and $50 pounds of kainit.
Another formula for orchards.
which is considered satisfactory by
many growers, is:
Seven hundred pounds of tobacco
stems, 500 pounds of bone meal. 625
pounds of kainit and 175 pounds OF
potassium chloride.

NAVAL DISASTER SURVIVOR

last Friday under the name of A. f.
Woods, and suspected for a time of
being DR.. P. Y. Allen, wanted in
Seattle, Wash. in connection with

His first marriage, as officers
quoted him, was to Emma J.. Johns,
in Warren, Ohio, 81 years ago, and
his last six, all contracted in the last
four years, were to Della Whalen,
LeayittSburg, Ohio; Jennie Neiuret,
Tacoma, Wash; Nina r. King, Fort
Wayne in which ceremony he used
the name of A. E. Reed; Alma F..
Snyder, Spokane, Wash. whom he
married under the name of w. A.
Allen; Mae S. Roush, Des Moines,
Iowa, wh>re he again used the name
Of A. F.. Reed, and Bell Parker,

TO have had considerable money.
He was said to have q, list OF

people. He says that there is moth
ing in the world that he enjoys more
than a good first-class row with his
wife, and that he would simply
loathe a patient GriseIda who
wouldn't fight back. but who would
turn the other check instead of Civ
ing him swift hppercur when he
handed her a mean one.
I fear this gentleman is right, and
that there are not many husbands
and wives who are real, honest-to-
goodness paciists, with r. sincere,
heartfelt desire for a harmonious
and quiet home. Otherwise. more
people would achieve concord in the
holy estate. For the thing that we
greatly want and are determined to
have at any price we are mighty apt
to get.
That married. people fight for the
pure love OF fighting and because
they enjoy The scrimmage even a
blind man can see. Nothing is ever
gained by making a domestic rough
house, and nothing could be easier
to avoid than making one if either
the husband or wife desired to do so.
No woman and man can be mar

has his or her bit of forbidden
ground upon which to set foot is as
good for a scrap as a nickel is for
d ginger cake, and the other is per-
fectly aware of its location.
Every wife knows that there are
certain topics that infuriate her hus-
band as red rag does a mad bull.
But does she adrOitly sidestep these
dangerous subjects and use all Of
her feminine Wiles and arts to keep
them from being dragged out on the
carpet? She does not. She delib-
erately hauls them in by the scruff
of the neck, if they won't come in
any other way, and in the ensuing
mix-up a pleasant time is had by
all.
Every husband is aware Of the
particular chip that his wife carries
on her shoulder, and that merely to
brush it with a word brings on a
scene that might terrorize the bold
est. But does he gum shoe around
it? Not much. He knocks it off, and
they go over the top in a battle in
which quarter is neither asked nor

The dreadful earthquake in Japan
las indeed cast a gloom over me. /
anr fmpatiently waiting for letters
from friends over there, letters tell
ing me who has been hurt and the
little intimate descriptions that one

Christianity has to fight TOO much

fight each other. It is not scram-

The northern Methodist Episcopal
church had a splendid work in the

Tokyo means more to Japanese
than merely the capital of the en-
pire. 1t is the residence of their
ruler, and he means more TO them
than any other ruler under the shin

and think it means emperor, but that
is mistake, they do not use their
rulers title on any but the most sol

There are many new ideas being

unrest and the desire TO become more

fences of their houses and some OF

nerves of some of the more progress

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
S ON HEART AND HOME

There are households in which there
is a Thirty Years War over religion;
over the question of bills or an all
lowance; over the husbands latch
key; over the Wife's clubs; over ev-
erything the children do and leave
undOne; over the bread and pie and
coffee. Certainly nothing but get
ting sort of decadent pleasure out
of quarreling with each other keeps
husbands and wives in a perpetual
wrangle over these things. Either
one could negotiate a peace with
honor at any moment he or she
wearied of the fracas.
Perhaps the real reason of the
family scrap is that it does put pep
into domesticity. 1t is adventure,
danger. For the .dullest fools must
know the risks they run of killing
each others love when they slash
and cut mercilessly at each other
with their tongues. 1t is the thrill
that comes with stirring up stag
\nant pool that becomes a whirlpool
that threatens to enguIf you.
To the average husband and wife
married life is dull and monotonous.
They have not the money for many
outside amusements, and they have
not enough resources within them
selves to make home life interesting
and entertaining. So they find
drama in their fierce quarrels and in
their kissing and making up.
Also they find in these fights a
vent for their oVerStrung nerves. 1t
soothes the man to take out on his
wife all of the temper and i1ritabiL-
ity that he dares not visit upon his
customers or clients, and a woman
feels at peace with all the world
after she has had a row with her
husband that ended in tears in which
she Wept out the bitterness of soul
that possessed her because she is
getting old and fat and nobody asks
her to dance any more.
Undoubtedly. many people regard
the family spat as a thunderstorm
that clears the domestic air and
leaves everything refreshed and
brighter. That is why they run up
no lightning rods for protection
against its dangers. IN the heat of
anger/a woman will hurl any insults
of her husband. and the man will
believes that the episode is ended
an armistice is declared.
John knows that I didn't mean
what I said when we quarreled last
night, and L called him a tightwad
and a loafer. and said be was no
good because he couldn't make
money enough to give me the things
that my sisters husband gives her,
says the wife.
"Mary knows that I didn't mean
what L said when L called her
dumbbell and said she looked like
figure of fun in her new dress,
and that [ wondered what the fool
killer was doing the day L married
her that he didn't get me" says the
husband.
But the trouble is that we all do
remember the things people say to
us when they are angry, becausesin
anger, as in wine. the truth will out.
When we are angry We blurt out
the old grudge, the old disappoint-
ment, the thing we really think
about another, the cruel truth that
we hide in our hearts until we lose
our self-control.
This is what makes the family
scrap such a dangerous amusement,
and this view OF the subject is called
to the attention of the husbands and
wives who love to fight.
Domestic war is what General
Sherman said war was And then
