SUGAR COATING WITH
TROUBLES.

sAso
Fortunately, your troubles are the
most interesting thing about you.
Your success is, should be, more
satisfying to you. Your friends will
permit you occasionally to brag
about it. But the best of them can
stand only a little of it without re-
belling unless in your account of
your success you put all the en-
phasis on the difficulties and how
nearly Overcome by them you we're.
Which is only another way of say
ing, unless you sugar coat your sue
cess with our troubles.
When the friend in whom you
confide tells you to forget your trou-
bles, it is not because your troubles
as such bore him; it is because you
have failed TO present them in en-
interesting way. What you ought
to say to yourself when you are thus
rejected is this: My troubles, like
the troubles or any other human be-
ing, are interesting. How have 1
managed to make what is essential
ly interesting a bore?
There is only one answer to that
question. 1t requires almost no art
or skill or practice to present your
troubles in an interesting manner.
What it does require is courage.
You may be morally certain when
your story fails to interest another
human being that you haven't dared
to be honest; you haven't told
enough: you haven't come across.
THOMAS CARLYLE'S MISTAKE.
There are incredible differences in
human beings at this point. Has
anyone ever read the pathetic story
of the married life Of Thomas and
Jane Carlyle without being aston
ished at their utter inability to
"come acress?" Thomas Carlyle was
a great man in spite of the fact that
he was scared to death by life. Jane
Carlyle was a splendid woman-and
not quite so scared as her husband.
They loved each other quite desper-
ately. And they made each other
quite desperately unhappy through
n long life together.
1t was only after she was dead
and he was dying that he was able
to hint to anyone the true cause
of their unhappiness. If he had had
the courage to talk honestly and
freely to a wise physician when he
was a young man, their marriage
might have been happy. Jane Car

And yet this is a good woman the
club-women say that she is such

CROSS EXAMINATION.
The other day friend of mine
suggested that l hint to her mother
that while she, the friend, was in
the hospital for a new baby, the
mother take the little granddaugh-
ter for a visit.
"But why don't you ask your
Mother, Sally?"
"Oh, she'd never do it them"
"But why not?"

Mother is. She is always in,agin-
ing that someone is imposing on her.

idea that they can't be polite until

boast. One old employer knew
years ago used to pay off woman
clerk once month in some such

The girl used to take her money
indifferently; she didn't care what
a mean old man said. Children get
used to mean fathers, and girls used
to mean associates, men grow
reconciled to the fact that IN ugly,
resentful woman won't allow them
any ease or hospitality in their
own homes, and women accept the
companionship of sour, silent men
uncomplainingly.

ut Trv to Forget Troubles Talk About Their

the spare bedroom of his part
ment where he could pursue his
chosen studies evenings and holi-
days. Everything was lovely until
the day when he came home and
found his wife in tears and his
laboratory wrecked.
A DESTRUCTIVE WIFE.
She had spent the afternoon
throwing his test-tubes and his re-
torts and his TASKS out of the WIN
dow and now she was so overcome
by remorse that she could not talk
about it. She simply would not tell
him why she had done it. He was
worried. He was afraid she was
insane. He was ashamed to tell
anybody ABOUT it. She begged him
not to tell anybody about it. He
promised. Whercupon she promised
that she would never do such a
thing again.
She did do it again. She did
it three times in the course of
three years. Each time she was
remorseful. Each time he was
more worg' than angry. But
finally he fell to talking about
his troubles with a business ac-
quaintance. He ended by telling
the whole story. The answer of
the business acquaintance was to
tell his story. Between them
they gained some comforts women
were like that.
But having once broken his
reserve, my friend the chemist
talked to other business &C.
quaintances. He was astonished
to find that his troubles, if
unique in detail, were not unique
in principle. He got an enormous
release out of discovering that
other mems lives were not
smooth. He got also the release
of expressing hts long rcpressed
anger against his wife for smash
ing his laboratory equipment.
Finally, he told his story to
man who had insight enough to see
the point.
THE FIRST FRANK TALK.
"Your wife is jealous of your
work." this man said. go home
and tell her that you have been
working too hard, you have not
been getting enough out of life,
you haven't been seeing enough
of her. Hereafter you will not
spend more than two evenings
out of seven in your laboratory.
Scientific research is your hearts
desire, but you cannot pursue it
at the cost of losing her company
of evenings"
The chemist went home to do as
he was told. The result was the fiHt
really frank talk he had ever had
with his wife. The talk led to ac-
ton. 1t appeared that she would
gladly sacrifice the. regular income
he got by working all day for a big
company if only he would not spend
his evenings in research and thus
shut her out of companionship with
him. He went back to his old ways

munication with other human be-
ings: 1t is the people who cannot
talk about their troubles who fail to
achieve happiness; who, in more ex-
IRENE cases, go crazy or commit
suicide.

KEEPING OUT MOTHS

MOTHS are the housewives deadly
AVA enemies. They are Of no possible
use. They are persistent and destruc-
tive pests. They delight to get into
closets, bureau drawers, trunks and
to eat holes in any wooden fabrics they
can get at. They seem to have an infal-
lible and diabolical ability to pick the
best and the most valuable material.
The average housewife is firm be-
lever in the value Of cedar chest
or wardrobe in protecting clothes from
MOTHS Like many other popular be-
liefs, this is based largely on tradition
handed down from one generation to
another.
But now comes the cold and I'M
biased scientific mind to whom nothing
Is sacred until it is proven. The
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture has turned two of its experts
loose on the moth problem. and well
they may, for moths, taken the couVDry
over, destroy enough fabrics to amount
to millions of dollars loss every year.
After exhaustive experiments last
ing over year Frank Rabok and
+. A. Back, expert entomologists in
the Department of Agriculture, report
that cedar chests are not an absolute
protection against moths.
Chests made of red cedar, they say,
il in good condition and tight, will pro-
tect clothes from moths provided and
here's the rub-clothes are thoroughly
beaten, brushed, shaken and summed
before being put in the chest. That
Is. If there are no moths or moth eggs
in the clothes before they are put
away. The chest will not kill them or
keep them from growing. If tightly
made and kept shut. it will keep any
new moths from getting in from out
side after the clothes are put away.
The chest should remain tightly
closed, they say, except when clothing
is being taken out or put in. This
should be done as rapidly as possible,
so as to prevent any outside moth
from getting in and laying eggs in
the clothes.
A cedar chest has always been sup
posed to be especially effective in
keeping out moths on account of the
peculiar odor Of the cedar wood But
any kind of chest is equally good,
provided it is made with tightly fit
ting joints and cover and provided the
clothes are thoroughly brushed, cleaned
and summed before putting them in.
Finally, to be on the safe side, put
one or two pounds of napthalene in the
chest before closing it.

THE MOTHERS TEN COM
MANDMENTS

nUR hest crop is our baby crop.
This Is naturally so, for corn or
wheat, cattle or hogs, cotton or hay
are only Of value as they supply the
needs and desires of human beings.
Whatever mistakes the present gen.
Grafton or its predecessors may have
made, we all want the coming genera
ton to avoid them and to have better,
happier and healthier lives.
So whether we believe that the
world is getting worse or getting bet
ter, every real man and woman is in
terested in babies. One of the most
striking differences between savage
and civilized life is the increased care
which civilized community gives to
the two helpless extremes Of life, the
babies and the aged.
This increased interest in babies is
found not only in individuals but in
governments as we'll 1t is only n
little over fifty years ago since Mas
sachusetts created the first state de-
partment of health to look after the
health of its people. 1t Is less than
twenty-five years since the first state
department OF health established a de-
partment of child welfare to care for
and protect the health of its babies.
Today every state and most OF our
big cities have special departments for
babies ana the standing of city is
now very largely judged by the amount
of time and money spent in protecting
its babies from disease.
The health department in Chicago,
our second largest city, is particularly
interested in this baby work. The
commissioner of health, Doctor Bundle
sen, has just published a 68-page book
for mothers and has distributed 3O0.OOO
copies to the mothers of Chicago.
To repeat all the good advice TO
mothers in these 6S pages is impos-
sfble. But the ten commandments for
mothers ought to be read and followed
by mothers everywhere. They are:
1. Thou shalt not deprive thy baby
of breast lnilk unless it Is absolutely
necessary.
2. Thou shalt not give thy baby
soothing sirups or sleeping powders.
8. Thou shalt not take the advice Of
friends or neighbOrs in feeding thy
baby, as no two need the same food.
4. Thou shalt not allow thy baby to
sleep in the same bed with anyone
else.
5. Thou shalt not be afraid Of fresh
air..
6. Thou shalt not treat thy baby as
plaything nor show him Off to friends
or relatives or neighbors.
Z. Thou shalt not kiss thy baby on
the mouth nor allow anyone else to
do so.
s. Thou shalt not scold or grumble,
especially before meals.
9. Thou shalt not spoil thy baby by
humoring him.
10. Thou shalt not expose, thy baby
to colds or to any other contagious
disease
