SC0Iding Husband

Dear Martha Lee: l am 20 Ny husband

have a tiny baby.
NV husband is so cross with me and
scods me so much that my heart is break
ing He scolds If everything in the house is
not "just in order He blames ME for
things for which, ! am not to blame.
He is good to provide for me and buys
me everything l need But l am so ner-
vous all the time fearing will do something
to displease him.
Before we were married he could not go
two days without seeing me. and wrote me
a letter every day. He loved me then Do
you think he loves me now: Whnt must
I do? SAD WIFE.
Your husband evidently is one of
the many who show their love by
working hard to support their wives
as well as possible. That should mean
more than the cross words which may
be caused by the fact that he is tired
after working hard for your sake.
Don't take his crossness to serious
ly, as long as you are sure you have
done your work as well as possible.
Laugh it off Tease a bit. You want
your husband to be as attentive as
he was before your marriage. Then
see to it that you are as gay and low
ing as you were at that time.

RHEUMATISM PAINS
ARE NOW IN SEASON

Rheumatism is easier to avoid than
to cure, states well-known author
ity. We are advised to dress warmly,
keep the feet dry, avoid exposure, and
above all, drink plenty of good water
and avoid eating sweets Of all kind.
rheumatism is caused by body
waste and acids resulting from food
fermentation. 1t is the function of
the kidneys to filter this poison from
the blood and cast it out in the urine;
the pores of the skin are also a means
Of freeing the blood of this impurity.
In damp and chilly cold weather the
skin pores are closed, thus forcing the
kidneys to do double work they be
come weak and sluggish and fail to
eliminate this waste and aicds, which
keeps accommodating and circulating
through the system, eventually set
Ting in the joints and muscles, caus-
ing stiffness, soreness and pain, called
rheumatism.

get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a tablespoon
fui in a glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for a
week This is helpful to neutralize
acidity. remove waste matter. also to
stimulate the kidneys, thus often rid
ding the blood of rheumatic poison.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, and is
made from the acid of grapes ard
lemon juice, combined with lithia, and
is used with excellent results by thou

LETTER FROM RUTH ELLING

wi L DEAR LESLIE
The certified check for ten thou
sand dollars from Struble & Struble
arrived this morning. l never knew
before there was so much money in
the world
Just to think, Karl Whitney should
have sent all that money. 1t doesn' t
seem hardly possible.
And yet after all, Leslie. I expect
it means very little to him. Money
is the easiest thing in the world to
give It IS when somebody gives you
little bit Of himself that you should
be grateful
This, Leslie, you have given to me
and I will never forget It.
The Matchmaking gentleman has
been hanging around our shop for
two or three days. I told him you
have gone to New York to arrange
for the money.
Today I will try and fix up the
matter
Saw Jack yesterday. Leslie, I hate
20 tell you. but he really is looking
very much worried about something.
He TOLD me his business is getting
along splendidly and that the things
he needed most just now was a
crackerjack stenOgrapher to help
him out at the office and you and
little Jack to make him happy at
home.

- consideration should be the
comfort of the birds, and this should
not be sacrificed to any desire for
ornate appearance. So far as shape
Is concerned, a square cage is best
as it affords more room for exercise
than one which is round.
For one bird, the cage should be
not less than nine and one-half inches
long, six and one-half inches wide
and nine inches high. A larger size is
to be preferred. In a cage Of ordinary
size three perches are sufficient.
One may be placed at either end at Il
distance that win allow easy access
to the food and water receptacles,
and the third elevated above the
middle of the cage at it's center.
Though canaries, when acclimated,
can endure a great degree of cold
without discomfort, they are sus-
ceptible to sudden changes in temper
allure, and cold drafts may soon prove
fatal. This should be borne in mind
when choosing a place for the cage.
When one or two canaries are kept as
pets, it is usual to suspend their cages
before a window, where the birds may
enjoy light and sunshine. 1t may be
necessary, however, to weatherstrip
the windows to avoid drafts. The
room must remain at a fairly even

SAUERKRAUT DISHES

II ANY people enjoy dinner of
IMI sauerkraut once in a while. II
the dish is cooked in the oven
the unpleasant odor is somewhat cur
tailed.
While raw cabbage is more easily
digested and of greater food value
than cooked cabbage, cabbage in any
form is a wholesome, hearty food.
These recipes may be a bit out of
the ordinary and may help solve the
eternal problem of what to eat.
If wieners are not liked, spare-ribs
can be substituted.
SauerHraut and Dumplings
Two pounds of kraut, s wieners, 1
baking powder, milk to make a soft
dough.
Put kraut in a tightly covered
kettle with water to cover. Cook
slowly for two hours, adding water as
necessary. Wash wieners and cut a
tiny slice from each end. Add to
kraut and cook an hour longer. Mix
and sift flour. salt and baking pow
der. Cut in milk to make a soft
dough. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto
the kraut, cover tightly and cook 20
minutes. Serve at once.
This dish provides starch in the
dumplings. mineral salts in the kraut,
protein and fat in the meat and adds
bulk to the meal. A nourishing cream
soup and substantial dessert round
out the menu. Brown or entire wheat
bread should be used.
SauerlTaut and Potatoes
One pound kraut, 4 potatoes, but
ter, salt and pepper, 4 cup cracker
crumbs.
Boil and mash potatoes. Season
with salt, pepper and butter. Cook
lxraut for thirty minutes and drain
Put layer of kraut in a buttered
baking dish. Dot with bits of butter
and cover with a layer of potatoes.
Continue alternating layers of kraut
and potatoes until all is used. There
should be equal parts of kraut and
potato. Cover with cracker crumbs
and bake in a moderate oven for As
minutes.
This is another method for prepar-
ing kraut with potatoes. The potatoes
rather alleviate the kraut flavor, max
ing a really palatable dish.
