GEORGIANS may well be gratified at their State’s portion in the fund of fifty-five million dollars which has ' been set aside for Federal aid in road ’ construction in the South for the fiscal years is 1919 and 1920. To this Commonwealth ! .comes $4,307,437, the largest single allot ment, save those to Texas and Missouri. The • > significance of the figures is chiefly in the fact that the State itself provides a fund equal to about sixty per cent of the Federal apportionment, so that the total expenditure ■' in Georgia will be not far short of seven mil lions. That the people are freely furnishing their part of so large an outlay is cheering evidence of the genuineness of their interest in highway betterment. It is noteworthy, moreover, as pointed out j in the current number of Southern Good -Roads, that Georgia and her neighbor States are “not only putting up sixty per cent to the Federal Government’s forty per cent for joint highway construction, but are also ex pending large sums for road work through State, county and local committees; the total of such sums is estimated to be at least one hundred million dollars for this year.’’ There could be no surer evidence of the South’s for ward movement and no better omen for con tinued progress. The money already spent on road improvement and extension has yielded royal returns in the enhancement of land values, the increase of crop profits, the enrichment of rural life, the stimulation of trade, the upbuilding of the general welfare. But present returns, which are attributable to the expenditures of years gone by, will ap pear small when compared with .the harvests from the far more liberal outlays of today. Southern highway improvements now actual ly in process represent little less than twenty three and a half million dollars. Add the millions upon millions which are to follow from State and Federal funds in the months and years immediately ahead, and it is> plain that as we are sowing abundantly so shall we abundantly reap. It should be noted, moreover, that highway money is spent much more efficiently than in times past. Every State has its good roads department, guided as a rule by business judgment and engineer ing science. Most of them have carefully thought-out, far-reaching plans of proce dure, so that the work in each county and district is related to that of the State as a whole, and the work of each season made preparatory to a larger future. Thus true economy and true progress are obtained in richer measure than ever before, and the whole cause of good roads given a greater urge. The German Indemnity. THE question of German indemnity, in stead of being settled at the drafting of the Peace Treaty, was left to the judgment of the Reparations Commission, the idea being that time and careful inquiry would " be needful to show what the enemy was capable of paying. It was agreed on all parts, - outside of the Central alliance, that no sum of money, howsoever large, could compensate the losses and injuries which the defenders of freedom had suffered. Prudent statesmen realized, however, that to exact of the German people more than they could well produce would be almost as unwise as to let them go with no reminder at all of the costs and penalties of Prussianism. Insistence upon the pound of flesh could serve only to harden their hatreed of the victors and to vindicate «■_ in their minds the policies of their defeated S- masters. Nothing of that sort was wished by any “"discerning friend of peace and justice. The ■ end most to be desired was in the beginning as it is now, not merely the vanquishraent of the German army, but the supplanting of the spirit of German militarism, as embodied in a people’s thought, by sane and, if possible, democratic ideas; for thus only could well grounded security and real concord be vouch safed. But this, it was obvious, could not accomplished if German taxpayers were so nurdened and crushed by tribute to foreign treasuries that they would come, even in the days of peace, to think of the Allies as alto gether pitiless and oppressive, and to think of their own Government through which this tribute was collected and paid as despicable and deserving to be overthrown. That would be just the state of mind most impervious to democratic influences and most favorable to a revival of the old monarchist and military order. Wisely, then, the Allied leaders decided that instead of stipulating at the outset some such indemnity as forty, sixty or one hundred and twenty billion dollars (suggestions ranged around these figures) they would await the light d*f investigation and informed counsel. By just what paths the conclusion has been reached we are not told, but reports from San Remo have it that the reparation most likely to be named is in the neighbor hood of fifteen billion dollars. Lloyd George and Nitti are said to approve this sum and to favor its being stipulated without further delay. Objections from France are to be ex- THE ATLANTA TRI-WEEKLY JOURNAL. pected, though they will hardly prove un adjustable. i Conditions within Germany indicate the need of prompt action in this matter. A writer in the New York Times, after showing how continued uncertainty of the total amount may have checked the Germans’ readiness to get fully and steadily back to work, observes that there is now the much more serious question of their willingness to pay anything at all. Just recently, he points out, “they formally requested the Supreme Council for permission to keep a powerful nucleus of the old army, together with the entire General Staff and officers’ corps.” Now if the Treaty is to be carried out the General Staff must be abolished. More over, as the Times writer adds, “The officers’ corps is organized, not for an army of two hundred thousand, the normal though far less than actual strength of the forces Germany wants to maintain, but for an army of eight hundred thousand.” The reasons given by the German authorities in asking this extraordinary concession are significant and disquieting. “An increased army,’’ they say “is necessary for the main tenance of order, and furthermore the army will not accept an order for its dissolution.” “Will not acept!’’ An omnious attitude, this. One can understand Foch’s wariness and all France’s uneasiness.- f Evidently there is need of the Allies get ting down to business on all the terms of peace. Indecision in the matter of reparation or any other essential can no longer be al lowed without serious hazard. 11l advised as it would be to impose a larger indemnity than Germany could live under, there should be no dilatoriness and no unwarranted con cessions. Justice tempered with mercy is al wavs right and always wise. But the two must go together if either is to be effective of larger ends. It is of the utmost impor tance, therefore, that an indemnity consis tent with reasonable and humane standards be decided upon and then, together with the other terms of the Treaty, be pressed firmly to fulfillment. —♦- A Fertile Opportunity THE Columbus Enquirer-Sun seasonably suggests that if the supply of certain farm products in Georgia and neigh boring States is not equal to the demand, it is largely because business interests have not made it profitable for the planter to raise those things. “The Southern farmer,’’ says our contemporary, “has learned through experience that the one-crop system will not give him the reward to which he is en titled: he grows most of what he needs for himself and a great deal that he offers for sale.” But, “He cannot engage in crop diversifi cation in as large a measure as he should until markets are provided for the va rious crops he can grow. He cannot af ford to raise large quantities of sweet potatoes, for instance, unless he is as sured of an outlet for them. He can not afford to spend his money and la bor on a crop for which he cannot find a market.” Commercial and civic organizations in terested in upbuilding their particular com munities and in promoting the prosperity of the State can undertake no more fertile field of service than that of providing these need ed markets. Much already has been done up on this'line in Georgia, and the Common wealth is far richer and more progressive as a result. It is noteworthy, too, that the towns which are growing most swiftly and most substantially are, in the main, those that have provided markets for food crops and food animals, thereby encouraging well rounded development for the resources of their surrounding country. There is a demand, we may be sure, for every ounce of foodstuffs our farms can produce; it remains only to supply channels of communication between the planter and the consumer —storage facilities, mills, can ning plants, packing houses and the like. To the extent that business enterprise rises to -its interests and its obligations in this mat ter the common welfare will be conserved and quickened. ’ « A Genius in Recuperation. PICTURE a land less than one-fifth as large as Georgia, invaded and tram pled down, held for four years in the grip of a hostile army, “combed for its last strand of flax, squeezed for its last drop of wine, sifted for its last speck of gold,” stripped of a seventh of its population by an orden deporting multitudes of its people to labor as virtual slaves in the enemy’s coun try, and left dependent for its daily bread upon cargoes from humane friends across the sea. Picture this Belgium as it lay when Hindenburg’s legions began their retreat two summers ago, and then conceive of it today as one of the world’s most productive, most thriving, most orderly, most progressive na tions. Rarely, if ever, before has history wit nessed so striking a case of recuperative genius. Writing from Brussels where he fills the responsible post of United States Trade Com missioner, Mr. C. E. Herring, reports that within a twelvemonth after the armistice Bel gium ceased rationing her people, being the first of the European belligerents to do so; that within the same period she reduced liv ing costs from one thousand one hundred and ten per cent, above normal to two hundred and forty-four per cent; that by the begin ning of the present year she had restored to a pre-war average of production, seventy five per cent of her textMe mills and eighty seven per cent of her coal mines, had re established all of her railways, and had re duced the ranks of the involuntarily unem ployed from a million to none. As evidence of the country’s earning capacity, Current History points out that whereas the tax re turns for the first six months of the fiscal year had been estimated at sixty million dol lars, they proved to be approximately a third more than that sum. Further: “In the year before the war the trade of Belgium, export, import and transit, amounted to $1,725,000,- 000; in 1919 it amounted to $1,022,000,000’’ —a most remarkable recovery. In the light of such a record shall we not have to supplement Caesar’s tribute so that it may run, “Os all these the Belgians were the bravest—and the thriftiest.” Compari sons, of course, are really foolish when we comt to the splendid achievements, both in the war’s midst and in its aftermath, of those nations that held the vanguard of the fight for freedom; each has played its peculiarly glorious part. But as the first to feel the shock and pain of the enemy’s onset, little Belgium stands especially admired in her speedy recuperation. America never enjoyed a happier privilege than that of aiding in some measure those processes of recovery. A cherished privilege it was to send food to Belgium in her heavy affliction and to send material and labor to expedite her rebuilding. The closer relations which thus have sprung up across thousands of ocean leagues is witnessed partly in com merce. In the twelvemonth preceding the war Belgian imperts to the value of one hun dred million dollars came from the United States; in the first ten months of 1919 those figures increased to three hundred million. May the warm and substantial friendship thus fostered continue without end. “Spongey April” and “the showerful spring’’ are charming enough in poetry; but they become too much of a good thing when they leave the bealted husbandman hardly 1 a day for tillage. THOSE GERMS By H. Addington Bruce THERE are certain facts about disease germs it is well always to keep in mind. And they are facts particularly deserving of recall at this time of year—the season of the great spring housecleaning. First and foremost is the fact that germs thrive in darkness and in moisture. If there are any unusually dark corners in the house, or if there are any places where moisture can cling, these are the corners and these the places where the germs of disease are most likely to be lurking. Which means that the housewife should most vigorously attack precisely the parts of the house usually overlooked unless the spring house cleaning is really thorough. It is ot the rooms in their entirety most It is not the rooms in rheir entirety most need to be kept clean, from the point of view of healthfulness. Direct sunlight is fatal to most germs in a very few minutes. But let germs find a place to hide away— especially a place where they can procure moisture —and they may retain disease-pro ducing vitality for a surprisingly long time. Diphtheria, typhoid and tuberculosis germs have been known to live for weeks in damp, cool and dark quarters. Cellar walls and floors, attic recesses, spaces under stairways, dark corners under sinks, etc., consequently call more urgently for cleaning than any open, well ventilated, well lighted portion of the house. And the cleaning of every portion should be so done that the air will not be filled with flying dust specks that possibly have disease germs attached to them. It is proverbial that with the coming of, spring many people suffer from colds, sore throats, and similar affections, albeit they may have perhaps gone through the winter free from diseases of any kind. Commonly this is attributed to the lowered vitality that is a recognized sequel to the overeating and overheating, the under-exer cising, and the underventilating practices too widespread in winter. But even lowered vitality diseases such as colds and sore throats would not result unless the germs causing them were taken into the system. Obviously they can most readily be taken in if the air is exceptionally germ laden, as it is apt to be under careless houseclean ing. Sometimes, in fact, a direct connection be tween housecleaning and conditions of ill health is perceived by the victims themselves. As one woman informed her doctor: “I used to suffer every time I cleaned house. It used to make me feel so bad and gave me such a peculiar sensation in my chest that I wanted to put my hands on my chest. And at those times I would spit black.” It was this woman’s custom to sweep with her windows closed. Opening the windows and doors, so that there was always a strong outgoing current of air to carry away the dust, relieved her completely of her symp toms. , L , Better still, however, is the employment of a vacuum cleaner. Or, if such a cleaner can not be used, the beating of all rugs and car- j pets outdoors, and the cleaning of all wood- i work with scrubbing brushes and moist cloths is the rule of safety for the avoidance of housecleaning infections.

It is possible that the thirty-sixth state may not ratify the nineteenth amendment extending to women the franchise right in time for the women of eighteen states to vote for president this year. Still some 17 000,000 women will vote in thirty states. How will they vote? Will the entrance of .hie new body of voters into the political ists seriously affect results? Probably extremists on both sides will be disappointed. Women average up about a» men. There is not much difference. That is why they have a right to vote —because there is little difference. In some respects women are worse polit ically than men. They are more subject to partisanship. For the political party owes its power and coherence to passion, preju dice and blind loyalty. In these directions the female of the species is more deadly than the male. . She is more profoundly stirred by her emotions, which are less controlled by the ntelligence. She is subject to intense preju dices. And she has away of sticking loy ally to a person or a cause even when said person or cause is proved to be wholly un 4 worthy. The most irreconcilable rebels of the south are the women. The women of the French revolution excelled the men in their passionate excesses. The bulwark of all monarchies, divine rights, castes and hier archies is woman. ' Hence we may look to women for no mili gation of the cancerous growth of partisan hip. On the other hand, women are much more than men susceptible to moral appeals. Their faults, as noted above, are splendid faults; and their virtues are also splendid. They are not controlled so much as men are by considerations of expediency. They are more willing to do right even when it does not pay and is not “practical.” That is the great advantage in having the woman voter. She will vote steadily against war, against alcohol and against red rule. Maybe. (Copyright, 1920, by Frank Crane.) QUIPS AND QUIDITIES The temporary waiter looked the part to perfection. He was tall and slim, and bowed quite gracefully. Mrs. Smithjones, who had employed him to impress her friends, felt quite elated. He gave a real “tone” to her party. But there’s always some cloud in the sky, isn’t there? As the waiter .handed a plate of soup to Uncle Walter, the old gentleman eyed him angrily. “Look out, you idiot!” he stormed. “Don’t you see you’ve got your thumb in my soup?” “That’s all right, sir!” replied the waiter casually. “It isn’t burning me. It’s not near ly as hot as it looks.” Several elderly ladies who were giving a. dance for a certain charity felt that every thing must be run as economically as pos sible. One approached the leader of the or chestra with this proposition: “Couldn’t you possibly supply us with mu sic cheaper? A good many of us do not dance, you know.” A girl and a man sat under the palm just outside the ballroom. “As true,” the man answered,' in low, pas sionate tones, “as true as the delicate flush on your cheek.” “Oh—er—ah,” the girl stammered hur riedly, “isn’t —doesn’t the band play nicely?” He was an argumentative local councillor and was crushing an opponent’s case. “Gentlemen,” he said, “you may say with Counsellor Smith, that this is a case of six of one and half a dozen of the other. But I say no”—pause for emphasis—“No; it is nothing of the sort. It is exactly the contrary.” CURRENT EVENTS OF INTEREST According to a statement from. Washington the house bill increas ing pensions of Civil war veterans to SSO monthly and those of veter ans’ widows to S3O monthly was passed recently by the senate and now goes to conference. Senate amendments make the increases ap plicable to 215 veterans of the Mexi can war and 1,576 widows of Mexi can war veterans, as well as 73 widows of veterans of the War of 1812. The present average pension of veterans is .$37.50 and that of wid ows $25. The measure will aid about $65,250,000 to the present pen sion roll of $214,000,000. Last June there were 271,520 Civil war veterans and 336,375 widows' and dependents on the pension rolls. The bill provides pensions up to S9O monthly for disabled veterans. The great commercial awakening that has taken place in China shows no sign of abating' and American manufacturers are beginning to rec ognize that in- China lie greater op portunities than anywhere else in the world. For the fiscal year end ing June 30, 1914, the- United States imported nearly $40,000,000 and ex ported $25,000,000 worth of merchan dise; but in 1919 our imports had jumped to over $145,000,000 and the exports to nearly $110,000,000, The exodus of Italian working men returning to Italy has seriously affected the silk industry in this country, which is handicapped by an increasing shortage of skilled work men. Thousands are said to have left the silk manufacturing center of the United States. Converse & Co. have been appoint ed as exclusive selling agents for the Lynchburg Cotton mills. Later this plant will be absorbed by the Con solidated Textile corporation. A large and thoroughly up-to-date mill in Somersworth, N. H., and to cost $4,500,000, will be built at once, being 1,850 feet long. Building of reinforced concrete mushroom type. Two units of 75,000 spindles and 3,100 looms will be set up in the new plant. Oil will be used as fuel and the power will be from electricity. The Statesville, N. C., Cotton mills have added $250,000 to their capital of $250,000. Representatives here of the Brit ish government professed ignorance of any investigation of reports that a plot was being hatched in New York to foment simultaneous up rising in various British dependen cies. Cable despatches received re cently from London stated that Brit ish officials were conducting an in quiry into constantly reiterated re ports that a conspiracy was afoot in this city for revolts in Egypt, India, Ireland and Canada. One important British official said his only knowledge of plot or in vestigating was that carried in press despatches. Members of the Old Clothes club, who have been in good standing for years and years, met yesterday in Newark, N. J., to protest against the spread of the movement and sent a delegation to the mayor to make that protest formal. The burden of the complaint of those who hitherto have had the priv ilege of wearing the cast-off clothing of other persons, was, “What we goin’ to wear if they quit castin’ them?” “This overall and old clothes move ment hits us harder than anyone else,” the leader of the delegation, a well-known lounge lizard in one of Newark’s most popular “flop houses,” told the mayor. “Heretofore, every spring, when folks began <o clean up, we inherited a wardrobe sufficient to tide us over for the year. Now, they’re wearing their old clothes and our wardrobes are on the bum.” For More Than Forty Years Cotton Growers have known that POTASH PAYS More than 11,651,200 Tons of Potash Salts had been imported and used in the United States in the 20 years previous to January, 1915, when shipments ceased. Os this 6,460,- 700 Tons consisted of KAINIT which the cotton grower knew was both a plant food and a preventive of blight and rust, —with it came also 1,312,400 Tons of 20 per cent MANURE SALT which has the same effects on Cotton, but which was used mainly in mixed fertilizers. Shipments of both Kainit and Manure Salt have been resumed but the shortage of coal and cars and high freight rates make it more desirable to ship Manure Salt, which CONTAINS 20 PER CENT OF ACTUAL POTASH, instead of Kainit, which con tains less than 13 per cent actual Potash. MANURE SALT can be used as a side dressing on Cotton in just the same way as Kainit and will give the same results. Where you used 100 pounds of Kainit, you need to use but 62 pounds of Manure Salt, or 100 pounds of Manure Salt go as far as 161 pounds of Kainit. MANURE SALT has been coming forward in considerable amounts and cotton growers, who can not secure Kainit, jhould make an effort to get Manure Salt for side dressing to aid in making a big Cotton Crop. Muriate of Potash SO per cent actual Potash, has been coming forward also, —100 pounds of Muriate are equivalent to 400 pounds of Kainit or 250 pounds of Manure Salt. These'are the three Standard GERMAN Potash Salts that were always used in making cotton fertilizers and have been used for all these years with great profit and WITHOUT ANY DAMAGE TO THE CROP. The supply is not at present as large as in former years, but there is enough to greatly increase the Cotton Crop if you insist on your dealer making the necessary effort to get it for you. DO IT NOW Soil and Crop Service Potash Syndicate H. A. Huston, Manager 42 Broadway New York THURSDAY, APRIL 29, 1920. Congressional leaders in the move ment for budgetary reform are to day attempting to correct an erro neous impression among a great many people of the country that the adoption by congress of an execu tive budget system will, of itself, effect a latge reduction in. federal expenditures and a corresponding re duction in taxation. This belief has arisen from sev eral widely published statements by influential and constructive citizens in which it was estimated in round numbers the tota>i saving that an executive budget system, if adopt ed, will bring about. Principal among these statements was one by Rodger Babson, nationally known statistical expert, who declared that the gov ernment would be operated at a de creased cost of $2,000,000,000 a year under the proposed system of ad ministering national fiscal affairs. India’s poverty has a contribut ing factor in the high cost of mar riages, according to Sumitraray Ram akrisna Modak, of Bombay, who says that if the Indian laborers have money they will always spend it on marj-iages. For marriages they will borrow money and mortgage their property, and as a result they are always in debt. It matters not whether a family lives in poverty during its entire existence, if the marriage ceremonies of the members of the family are ornately and elab orately “carried on.” Although 80 per cent of the In dians are agriculturists, only 2 per cent of these farmers are free from debt. Every season they borrow for tilling, harvesting and for market ing, so that they always work on borrowed money. The farmer does not sell in the market, but the pro duce is sold by money lenders. The establishment of many industrial in stitutions by missionary societies is proving a practical solution of the problem.—Detroit News. Any search and seizure by federal prohibition agents that would amount to trespass under constitutional law is illegal. Federal Judge Clarence W. Sessions, of Marquette. Mich., stated during the trial of Ccalcucci brothers, in connection with the Iron River “whisky rebellion.” “A revenue agent could never in vade my home or my premises with out a search warrant unless I should give him permission," the judge said. Bandits attacked a train a few nights ago on which Queen Victoria of Spain and her brother, the Mar quis of Carisbrooke. were traveling from Madrid to Seville In an unsuc cessful attempt to carry off the royal plate, which the queen was taking with her. The robbers, who were well armed, opened a regular fusillade when dis covered, wounding two of the railway men, one of them probably mortally. The bandits escaped in a two-horse carriage, leaving no clew to their identity. According to a statement by Com missioner Williams, at Washington, despite the government’s war-time appeal for tax payments as a pa triotic duty, more than 300,000 firms and individuals failed to make honest returns under the revenue laws the last two years, the bureau of inter nal revenue announced recently. In a six months’ drive, which ended February 1, $19,051,000 in delinquent taxes were collected. Covington, Ky.. has the fever, too. Overalls for firemen and khaki uni forms for members of the police de partment is the plan of L. E. Bullock, safety commissioner, who stated he would present it at the next meeting of city commissioners. “Police and firemen cannot afford to pay present prices for uniforms,” he said. DOROTHY DIX’S TALK ON Praise and Blame The World’s Highest Paid Woman Writer , BY DOROTHY DI?; Did you ever pause to consider the | relative effectiveness of praise and blame, just as weapons of offense and defense? Especially in the family circle. And more especially with children. We don’t realize it, but we grown ups hardly ever speak to children ex cept to find fault with them, which must be pretty wearing on the nerves of the children. Not to say anything of being disheartening and discour aging. Not without cause did the little boy, when asked his name, reply that it was, “Willie Don’t” —and per sisted in the assertion that that was what he was called at home. Our daily communion with our off spring runs something like this: “Willie, don’t make so much noise. Don’t eat with your knife. Don’t scraps your feet on the floor. Don’t whistle. How many times have I told you not to leave your skates in the living room, and not to make finger prints on that mahogany table. Why don’t you study your Lessons, and for pity’s sake can’t you act like a gentleman instead of a hoodlum?” •Yes, life for the average child is just one don’t after another, and fa miliarity breeds contempt, so .that he gets to the place where he doesn’t even hear them, to say nothing of being restrained by them. As one child said to me with unconscious cynicism, “Oh, mother’s got the don’t habit. She always says don’t no matter what you ask her, so we just go along and do as we please.” Os course parents say, and truly, that they must correct their chil dren’s faults, and that they must keep them from doing the things which they should not do, but they do not accomplish this by ceaseless fault finding and nagging. They overlook one of the funda mental characteristics of humanity, which is the impulse we all have to live up to our blue china and to be what people expect us to be. This instinct is peculiarly strong in the breast of children. They are essen tially imitative and will form them selves on any model that is held up before them. There is, therefore, no way in which you can so surely make a boy rough, and tough, as by telling him that he is rough and tough, and centering his attention on his un couthness. Eventually he will come to take a pride in being a hoodlum, and trampling all of the decencies of conventions under foot. On the other hand, to make a boy a gentleman is to praise him for his good manners and his courtesy. Tell him that you are so glad that he does not hold his knife and fork in the awkward way in which some other little boy does, and you will never have to worry over his table man ners again. Let him see that you observe that he took his hat off in an elevator, and that he stood up when ladies entered a room, and that he never fails to give his seat to a woman on the car, and you will make a considerate and courteous gentleman of him because you have given him a knightly stand- I.ard of himself to which he has to live up. How well this plan works out in dealing with children, I saw very vividly illustrated once in the case of a little boy whom I knew.

One time when there were guests at din ner at his home some discussion arose over a point in American his tory. The little boy, who had just had that period of history in his school lesson, was able to set the whole company right. His gratified mother related the circumstance m, his hearing to two or three friends, on different occasions and wound up by saying, “You know Benny is quite a historian.” Up to that minute Benny had never taken the slightest interest in his tory, but believing that other people thought he was a historian and ex pected him to be an authority <>m history, set him to work, and at last he did become a historian and a professor of history in a famous university. He had to make good, and he did. To be forever harping on chil dren’s defects simply intensities them. To be eternally calling atten tion to a shy child’s shyness or to an awkward child’s awkwardness can have no other effect than to make them morbidly self-conscious and shyer and more awkward still. To throw a dull child’s dullness in its face is to cut off the last ray of hope by making it feel that it ia hopelessly stupid. But a little praise, a little flattery will give the shy and the awkward enough courage to overcome their defects, a little fostering of belief in himself will help the dullard to make the best of his limited ability. And in J:he marital relationship, are not husbands and wives largely responsible for the way they are treated? If a man never does any thing but find fault, with his wife, if he berates her extravagance, and criticizes her cooking, and sneers at her judgment, and makes sarcast’c remarks about marriage in general, and his own marriage in particular, is it any wonder that the wife does not think it worth while to take any trouble to please him, or to make herself attractive to him, and that she becomes just as disagreeable as he represents her to be? But if a man openly admires hl<4 wife, if he praises her cooking, and' holds her up as a model of thrift and good management, and if ho boasts that she makes her home the pleasantest place on earth, is it not inevitable that that wife will work herself to death trying to be the cook and housekeeper her husband'; thinks hereto be, and bite her tongue; off rather than say one cross Word; that would spoil the fancy pteturo l of hy temper that he has drawn? i And if a woman is forever com plaining that her husband is grouchy! and disagreeable to live with, that! he is cold toward her, and if she reads him lectures every time be. comes in a little late at night, who can blame him if he justifies her strictures, for there is small tempta- ; tion to come home to a nagging wife, or to kiss whining lips? ' j But if a woman is forever telling her husband how kind and good anil generous he Is to her. and how she thanks heaven for having vouchsafed her such a treasure. Is it not dollar® to doughnuts that he will be to her, indeed, a matrimonial prize. For it is oil and not sand in th® gear box that makes things go, ami the salve spreader is mightier thin the hammer. Dorothy Dix's articles will appea?
