make happy home by trying to force your husband to Ao your way, and nag ging him because he won't. There is no quicker way to kill love. And be- fore you know it your husband will take up a-sullen, resentful attitude to- ward you. He will come to hate his home because it will mean to him place of perpetual friction and argu ments.
 If you want your husband to con tinue to love you, give hfhhI the right to his own opinion and the chance to settle his own problems in his way. There is no other one thing that so endears us to those about us as to grant them personal liberty.
 Furthermore, you will be far more able, to influence your husband if he knows that you are liberal and req sonable, and are not trying to inter- fer ewith him, than you will be if he realizes that you are determined to boss him. That makes him put his back up and determine that he won't < be henecked. DOROTHY DIX.
 Dear Miss Dix: I have been mar ried IS months to a man 14 years my senior. My husband is capable, but refuses to work steadily, rarely keeping job more than three or four months at time; often not that long. We have moved to three different cites and states, and now he wishes to move on again. He has not worked now for six months, and when I work he spends the money on poolrooms and drink. I am so discouraged that I feel like giv- ing up and going back and earning my own living agai What do you ad- wise me to do?
 A DISAPPOINTED WIFE.
 Answer: I would certainly advise you to leave him before there are any children. If your husband loves you better than he does loafing, los ing you will bring out whatever lat ent manhood is in him. If he is in corrigibly weak, and lazy, and shift less, the sooner yo ubreak away from him the better. That sort of man inevitably ends in the gutter, and he drags his wife down with him.
 If you love the man too well to leave him, just make up your mind that YOU will have osupport him and establish your life on that basis. Go back to your old job, but keep your pay and refuse to give him the money for dis sipation.
 And God pity you! For an able bodied man who lets his wife support him is invariably dog that bites the hand that feeds it.

How to Make Pine
Cough Syrup at Home
has no equal for prompt results.
Takes but a moment to prepare,
and saves you about 81.



Pine is used in nearly all prescrip-
tions and remedies for coughs. The
reason is that pine contains several
elements that have remarkable
effect in soothing and healing the
membranes of the throat and chest.
Pine cough syrups are combinations
of pine and syrup. The syrup" part
is usually plain sugar syrup.
To make the best pine cough remedy
that money can buy, put Pc ounces
with home made sugar syrup. Or
you can use clarified molasses, honey,
or corn syrup, instead of sugar syrup.
Either way, you make full pint
more than YOU can buy ready-made
for three times the money. 1t is
pure, good and tastes very pleasant.
You can feel this take hold of
cough or cold in a way that means
business. The cough may be dry,
hoarse and tight, or may be persist
emily loose from the formation of
phlegm. The cause is the same-in-
fiamed membranes-and this Pinex
and Syrup combination will stop it
usually. in "A hours or less. Splen-
did, too, for bronchial asthma, hoarse-
ness, or any ordinary throat ailment.-
PineX is a highly concentrated COM
pound of genuine Norway pine ex-
tract, and is famous the world over
for its prompt effect upon coughs.
Beware Of substitutes. Ask your
druggist for "2l5 ounces of Pinex"
with directions, and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give abso-
lutte satisfaction or money refunded.

have been sold for as much as
five or six thousand dollars.
But men of common stock, in
places where men are plenty and
cheap (as for example in Central
Africa, may be purchased for
the price Of a rusty musket or a
piece Of cotton cloth.
According to this principle, we
must admit that the comparative
value of a man and d sheep is a
very uncertain matter, and that
there are times when the dumb
animal is much the more valu-
able Of the two.
OF course, you perceive that
this view, carried out to its log
ical conclusion means slavery;
and you call my attention to the
fact that slavery has been
abolished by common consent Of
the civilized world.
Yes, thank God, that Is true.
We have done away with the
logical conclusion.
But have we gotten rid entire.

DOROTHY DIX DISCUSSES LIFE
TALKS ON HEART AND HOME

The angel turns into a woman in
curl papers and wrappers, with cold
cream on her face and with temper
and nerves. The hero becomes just
q man who is fussy about his food,
and close about money, and who has
to be jollied and flattered into doing
the things he ought to do. And mar
riage isn't dream. 1t is stern real
ity that is strewn with more tacks
than roses.
The revelations of the day after
are unbearable to those who do not
10y e. They loathe and hate each
other. They disgust each other, and
then fly from their home as from a
place of torment. But love still wraps
its rosy chiffon over the sordidness
of domestic life, so that the man
and woman who really care for
each other, never see each other as
they are.
! The middle-aged man who still
thinks his wife beautiful; the mid
dlA-aged woman who still begins
every ser tence with .John says"
These alone have found marriage a
success.
Every marriage requires eternal
sacrifice. There must be a continual
putting OF another before ones self;
g wing up Of ones personal inclina-
tions, and desires, and tastes for
another's. And this is a daily cruel
flXlon Of soul and body unless one
loves the other enc so much that
one prefers his or her happiness
above ones own.
1t is because we only find happl-
ness in being with those whom we
love; because it is only love that
makes us blind to the peculiarities
Of cur husbands and wives, and be-
carse it is only love that enables
any nan or woman to forgive us
our faults and weaknesses, that love
is essential in marriage.

tions they inspire in each other.
With them love is the garnish on
the domestic dish. Nice, and pretty,
and, without doubt, giving an added
relish, but it has nothing to do with
the substantial quality Of the food
itself.
Truth compels us to admit that
all of these peoples, who take their
love on the side, as it were, set
along very we'll without conjugal
love. Furthermore, perhaps because
less is expected Of marriage, there
are fewer divorces among those who
regard matrimony as business
proposition than among those who
believe that they will find it an
earthly paradise.
But love is essential in marriage
to us nglo-Saxons because we are
sentimental, because we ere ro-
neither sensual nor avaric Gus, and
because custom has made us expect
to find our happiness and COM
partnership in the home instead Of
outside of it.
SO the marriage of convenience is
not for us. We are not greatly di-
verted by playing with dressed-up
doll babes Besides, our doll babies
scratch and bite. Also we wish our
domestic brand Of kisses with some
kick in them, instead Of being mere
ly flat duty.
Marriage, then, with us is the
most important thing in life. Com
pared with it, being born is an in
cident of no importance, and Eeath
a mere episode, 1t is the one Big
gamble in which we risk our all of
happiness, of peace, of we'll being.
And we win out, or lose out, on our
hearts.
For US there is nothing but love
that enables one to endure matri-
mony, to find in it joy instead of
Wretchedness.
There is nothing but love that
makes one hug his chains, and re-
gard his Jail as %the dearest spot on
earth. There is nothing but lows
that takes the sting out Of sacrifice,
and makes one feel it a privilege to
spend ones life in toiling for an
other.
1t is only love that makes it pos
sihle for US to enjoy the daily com
partnership of the same individual
year after year.
The society of the most brilliant
stranger bores us to tears if we are
forced to spend the weekend with
him, and have unbroken doses OF
his conversation. After we have
heard his adventures his pot stories
and applaud9d his epigrams, we
pay heaven for deliverance when
we see him heading our way.
But we never tire Of those we love.
We may know them for only high
grade morons, but we can listen to
their habbIe about the state OF the
grocery trade, or what the children
said and did, for hours without
wearying. 1t is only love which
keeps us perpetually interested in
III Sc about us, and that makes the
story Of their days as thrilling as
book of high adventure.
Love IS essential in marriage be-
cause it is only love that can endure
the dis Illusions Of matrimony.
Before marriage every woman is
an angel to her lover; every man is
a hero to the woman he Is counting,
and marriage itself is to be a dream
of bliss.
Real life shows the feet Of clay.
