Great wealth has Its drawbacks, LOVE IS AN INCENTIVE TO WORK, SA YSHALL CAINE By Private Leased 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 the world’s foremost students bf human nature on the subject, “Does Love Spoil n 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, tho husband Is like the man whose boat has sprung a leak. Half 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 le an added strength. "The marriages of literary men have often been unhappy: the selfish ah sorption required by the literary call Ing Is not generally helpful to domestic life. “The 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, ths Scotts, the Word worths and the Tennynons. “It Is obvious that some of the hap piest 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 unaettle the woman. She becomes a worse servant, but the man becomes a better servant for the added sense of personal respon slbillty with the coming of wife and children makes a man more careful of his duty and more anxious to keep his place. "In the limited degree In which I am an employer and u landlord, I certainly want my men to be married." MISTAKE MADE IN DRUGS KILLS MAN IN HOSPITAL By Private Leased Wire.

Found on the Skin Phosphate Direct from the , brain We know that active brain fiork 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 containing phosphate of potash to quickly and surely rebuild the used-up tissue. That one can obtain such food has been proven In thousands of casss among users of Poatum Food Coffee and Grape-Nuts. Both contain phosphate of potash In minute particles, Just as It Is fur nished 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 thla 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 Is more or less fastid ious about taking up the needed ele ments, and. aa might be suspected. It will favor the products of Mother Na ture rather than the products of the drug shop, however valuable they may > for certain usea. Athletes, lawyers, Journalists, doc tors. ministers, business men and others who earn their living by the use of the brain, are using both Poatum Food Coffee and Grape-Nuts Food. Both products are manufactured for a reason. They were originated by an expert, and the regenerative value of both the Poatum Coffee and the Fond has been demonstrated beyond ques tion.

ELLA WHEELER WILCOX Has a Word for the \Voman Who Is Jealous of Her Son’s Wife. KH1IAPH. the moat pathetic tragedy which the press hna recorded this many a mouth was that of tho young bushaud who sent his wife home after months of rain effort to reconcile his mother to her, and then committed suicide. He left n sad little note to bach, saying lie ho|»od they would lie happy. One can Imagine the tender-hearted young fellow*, loving both w’omeu and feeling his duty toward liotb, woru out with the strife between the two, nnd Anally giving up the battle of life. It w*as a weak thing to do, and there was a lack of stamina In the man's char* actor, of course, hut It is all very piti ful. Not long ago a mother Mid to met •*1 love my son so dearly I nhall be wl 1th grief when he inn men." "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," "«h. I love him so, I should be sure to bate his wife, however lovable she were," was her t'enly. But this Is not loving a son; It Is loving herself when n mother, with no cause, feels such an antipathy for even au Imagined daughter-in-law. 8elfish Mothers. never hear a father talking In this extravagant niauner of his devotion to n daughter. It Is seldom, Indeed, that father and son-in-law get on badly togeth- often see them In business asso ciations the liest of frjends. • Yet fathers love their daughters quite i deeply and dearly as mothers love their ms. It Is a sad hour to a parent alwaya when child's heart tarns to s new and absorb ing love, when the Young life Is sunk like a brook In the broad river of mar riage nnd the deiiendent member of the household circle becomes un Indepcudeut and separate Individual. It Is the system by whlrh the world _lntslned. It Is because this unwlll- lug mother-in-law willingly took some mother's son for her husband that she possesesd her own oon to love and grieve over. It would l»e amusing were it not so Ir ritating fo observe the utter forgetfulness of parents—tapaHalljr mothers— regnnllug their own eorly proceedings In the marital I ’-'nee called n weeping womnn'a atten tion fo the fact that her daughter-in-law was not the first persou who married, a mother's son.
