Great wealth has Its drawbacks, LOVE IS AN INCENTIVE TO WORK, SA YSHALL CAINE By Private Lewd Wire. London, Sept. 7.—In these days when newly-made millionaires are casting off their wives who have stuck to them through the struggle to success, the following Is an interesting opinion by one of tne world’s foremost students of human nature on the subject, "Does Love Spoil a Man's Work?” By HALL CAINE. "Does love spoil a man's work?" "Well, that depends upon the woman loved. "If she be the wrong woman, the husband Is like the man whose boat has sprung a leak. Halt the time that ought to be spent In making way Is spent In baling out. If she be the right woman, she Is that much extra sail. "One sees, of course, the obvious ad vantages of celibacy to pioneers like Cecil Rhodes, Just as one realizing Its practical necessity to priests, as well as to men who carry their lives In their hands and should think of nothing but work and duty. In the hour of peril, having wife and children Is apt to make coward of a man. "A brave woman by a man's side Is an added strength. "The marriages of literary men have often been unhappy; the selfish ab sorption required by the literary call Ing Is not generally helpful to domestic life. "Tho-same might be said of the mar rlages of painters and still more of ac tors, where the same conditions apply. But against the Barons, the Shellys, the Coleridges, the Dickenses, the Lyt- tons, you may well set the Brownings, the Southerns, the Scotts, the .Word worths and the Tennysons. "It Is obvious that some of the hap plest marriages of literary men have not been to literary women, but to the sweet and simple souls who were not all too good for human nature's dally food. "Coming to humbler conditions life, I should say that marriages among working people generally unsettle the woman. She becomes a worse servant, but the man becomes a better servsnt, for the added sense of personal respon sibility with the coming of wife and children makes a man more careful of his duty and more anxious to keep his place.

Found on the Skin Phosphate Direct from the brain We know that active brain work throws out the phosphate of potash, for this product Is found on the skin after excessive brain work. Brain workers. In order to keep Well, must have proper food contalnlm phosphate of potash to quickly am surely rebuild the used-up tissue. That one can obtain such food has been proven In thousands of cases among users of Postum Food Coffee and Grape-Nuts. Both contain phosphate of potash In minute particles. Just as It Is fur nlshed by nature In the grains. This product blends with albumen and makes the gray matter that builds the brain and fills the nerve centers. In no way can this gray matter be made except by the action of .phosphate of potash upon albumen, and this min eral should be Introduced-to the body Just as It comes from nature's labora tory, and not from the drug store. The human system le more or less fastid ious about taking up the needed ele ments, and. as might be suspected. It will favor the products of Mother Na ture rather than the products of the drug shop, however valuable they may be for certain uses. Athletes, lawyers, journalists, doc tors. ministers, business men and others who earn their living by the use of the brain, are using both Postum Food Coffee and Grape-Nuts Food.

ELLA WHEELER WILCOX -las a Word for the Woman Who Is Jealous of Her Son’s Wife. KUIIAPS, the most pathetic tragedy which the press has recorded tbla many a month was that of tho young husband who sent hla wife home after months of vnln effort to reconcile his mother to her, and then committed suicide. lie left a sad little note to each, saying he hoped they would lie happy. One can Imagine the tender-hearted young fellow, loving lioth women nnd feeling hla duty toward both, worn out with the strife between the two. nnd Anally giving up the battle of life. It was a weak thing to do, and there was a lack of stamina In the man's char acter, of course, but It Is all very piti ful. Not long ngo n mother Mid to mat "I love my son so dearly I shall be wild with grief when he marries.” "Perhaps not.” I said; "If he marries _ lovable sort of girl, who will add n new Joy to your life, Instead of taking one away.” ••Ob. I love him so, I should lm sure hate his wife, however lovable she were,” waa her reply. Hut thla Is not loving n son; It Is loving herself when n mother, with no cause, feels such an antipathy for even an Imagined daughter-in-law. Selfish Mothers. We never hear a father tnlklng In this extravagant manner of bis devotion to a daughter. It Is seldom. Indeed, that father aud son-in-law get on badly togeth er. We often see them In business asso ciations the lieat of friends. let fathers love their daughters quite ns deeply and dearly ns mothers love their sons. It Is s sad hour to a parent always when a child’s heart turns to a new nnd absorb ing love, when the young life Is sunk like n brook In the broad river of mar riage and the detiendent memlier of fhr household circle becomes nil Independent and separate Individual. Yet It Is the system by wblrh the world Is mnlntnlned. It Is because this unwill ing mother-in-law willingly took some mother's son for her husband that she possesesd her own son to love and grieve over. It would be amusing were It not so Ir rltatlng to observe the utter forgetfnlness of parents—especially mothers—regnnllur their owu early proceedings In the marital I once called a weeping woman's atten tion to the fnct that her dnugbter-ln-lnw was not the first person who married a mother's son. ••You evidently did.” I remarked. ”Oh, no; I married au orphan.” she re plied, with sn air of self-righteousness. Better Live Alone. "But if your husband’s mother had been living, I doubt not you would have married him Just the same," I said. The mother who really loves her son let ter than she loves herself does not make Brent* when he chooses s wife. Khe fries to love the girl lie has chosen for hla sake, and she realises that the love a man t»onra his wife In no way interferes with the love be (tears hla mother, unless the mother chooses to make It an Interference thmugh selfish Jealousy nnd petty nnres it would seem 111 this age of the world that a man ought to know Itetter than to Itegln his married life under the roof of his parents.

A young couple had better pass their early years together In a tent tnnn under the paternal root. Had the |M>or fellow who killed him- self, as the only way out of his trouble, given his wife a separate home, however humble, no doubt the difference between the two women would have l»een settled with time.
