From My Narrow 'W | Little Window THE HOOSIER OBSERVER MJ] Haypy, Though Married—Rule Two. ————————

(Rule 2) Do you know this is getting interesting. » 1 feel like a real-for-sure magazine department editor, for I am already getting letters addressed to “The Hoosier Observer” and they tell some real heart experiences, too. And these I consider of more real value to me, ’ than any observation 1 can make of my own. That little observation I made on the above subject, which was my elaboration of the first rule of six for marital happiness laid down by one of our United Press correspondents, hit a heart-spot of somebody. She signed herself. "Frome one who knowes a few things.” “She” —of course it was a “she”— began her letter, after calling me “My Dear Hoosier Observer," by mis-quot-ing my subject when she said. "Happy Through Marriage." She further said: “Maybe their a tew, but 1 doubt it.” Now, what do you think of that? Doesn’t it get your goat—that pessimistic dash. It does mine, and I have almost given up my plan of elaborating on the rest of the five rules; especially as I constantly fear “kidding." but the telegraph editor who put me up to the job, has consented to stand by me, teeth and toe-nail in case of any real, face-to-face opposition. So here goes! ♦ * » ♦ But let me first tell more that that “Woman - Who - Knows-a-FewThings" said. She also said: “My idea of being happy is to be contented ‘now’ (underscored). Don't wait till you get married or divorced.” Now. why, for the love of innocent girlhood, didn’t she say what she was. so all those young ones could profit thereby? Was she unhappily married and then divorced? I think so, because after telling the best way of mating “as the doves in springtime.” etc., etc., she says: “I respect the real old maid, the kind I can call real aunts —that are sixty and then some ——that left their chance go by and not waiting on one as many do! For the last ten years 1 have had a old maid S. S. teacher. One day the wind blew her way and off she was." • • • » Now, what do you think of that, girls? Does she mean to say that the most of us old maids never had a chance, and are "ladies-in-waiting?” Shocking, and don’t tell anybody. She evidently wishes she had let the chance go by; and if she mated in the spring, why isn’t she happy? However, she relieved the situation from any personal fling, as far as "The Observer” is concerned by saying that "The old maid who talks about perfunctory and insipid kisses and calls herself a disinterested party, ’Maybe’ . san old maid but I doubt it.” Now. jet me say, my dear "Woman-Who-Knows-a-Few-Things.” if you have any doubts come and 1 will part my hair s othat you can see the gray hairs. Glad they don’t show' every day, and glad my “observation” rang true. She closed her letter by telling of what I suppose was a maid who married and nearly starved herself and husband to death because she couldn’t cook properly, and her “pasture" was not therefor as rich as she had at home when ‘-'mother cooked.” Girls, that cooking hint is one the U. P. correspondent missed in his “rule of six.” Don’t forget it. Hurry back, “Woman ■ Who - Knows-a-Few Things” but let us See who you are. next time. * * * * Now, telegraph, editor, get your weapons of defense. I am going to elaborate on: Rule 2 —Wife, don’t interrupt your husband while he is reading the evening paper. « « * V H’m! Since I wrote the first so ■Well that “The-Woman-Who-Knows-a-Few-Things” doubts that 1 am not an old maid, let me frankly state, as I do not want to sail in under false pretenses. that I am also not a husband but that I am a wage-earner, and can therefore tell what 1 like when I go home in the evening, tired and weary, wet and worn, and disgusted with the world and the people and—every- • thing; and I just imagine that a husband would feel just a little that way. too, except of course he would have more to worry over, having more responsibility. • * * * Well, now, we go home as I say. >Ye may dig in the ditch, we may

work in the store; we may cure the physical, mental and moral ills of the public; we may gather the news and give it to the public; we may butch er, bake or make candles; but we get tired and we all wind up at the same place—home, if we have one, and usually make a beeline for it! That is. if it is a happy one and that is what 1 am writing about. In our work we have had to keep up a strain to meet competition; if our bodies are not tired, our nerves and our brains are. You know you have to “keep sweet" on the outside anyhow; you have to laugh over and over again at the stale jokes everywhere you go. as though they were as new as new; you have to make a pretense of guffaw-guffawing right out in public, if you want to be considered "a good fellow." Your work mayconfine you in just one narrow, little circle of the world, and consequently when evening comes you want to read the paper and find out what is happen ing somewhere else. You grab up your paper and skidoo —go home and relax, and not laugh or smile only when you just want to. * » * » Light and warmth radiate from the house; the children rush out to meet you: open the door and skirmish in your pockets for bags of goodies before you have a chance to unload your bundles. Os course, you don’t scold them, but you wish they could wait a while. You take off your wet clothes; your shoes you exchange for the warm slippers by the fireside and put on a house suit. Os course you did not forget to give the wife a kiss, as was mentioned in one of rule first's requirements, although I did forget to mention it sooner in this. This should have come up ahead of the skirmishing of the children. Then—while the good supper things are sizzling on the kitchen stove and the delicious odors permeate the living room, you sit down and you read a while —just lost) yourself in the big things of the wide world. Now, wife, here is where you shine, conspicuous for your quietness. You are, surely, confined to the little world of your home; you long for a word from the outside, but more for a word from him who is all the world to you; but don't, don’t say a word until, he lets off steam in relaxing and in qutetly reading the paper; don't trouble him with all the little trivial things until he gets ready. • * • • Now. what will probably result if you do, and neither will get any benefit from the jabbering -is about like this; (minus the chills of annoyance that chase up and down the man's spine, to say nothing of the real cross words that he will fling out in the meantime, if he is not just the model you read about, and wife's heartache:' if he doesn’t look up or answer) He (reading)—"The attitude of the entente allies toward Greece—" She —“Honey, what do you think! lard has gone up again and —O excuse me; you are reading.” He—“from, which country they are endeavoring to get a definite —” She“ These doughnuts are not fit to eat. I skimped on the lard—ft is two cents higher than —” He—“guarantee for the safety of the French, British and Serbian troops—” She —“Dear, Mrs. Sickem was over here today—and brought her new coat along. It is just grand. My old one looks so shabby. I just must have a new one this year. Can’t I have—” He —“What, O I guess so. Let’s see, where was I? —’and the w'hole military policy in the near east, including—” She —“Well, what are they doing in the war. anyhow? I just want you to boost for that peace bill that J. H. Houseman is advocating anyhow. The way they are killing off people in the east is something dreadful. If you can do the least thing to stop them, for pity’s sake —” He —“the Dardanelles, will, it is believed be made clear before the end of the present—” She —"And then, too, Jimmy has worn out his shoes and needs new ones. He spattered around in the water today and 1 am afraid he will get the croup tonight and that spout needs fixing and the chimney is stopped up and the woman didn't bring the wash houTO tonight and we ar? short on table cloths and I had to use a soiled one, so please don’t notice it tonight. And why didn't you give me two kisses when you came in, you are get-

ting awful stingy with them and you have never looked up nor said a word —well, not more than halt a dozen since you began to read—and you don't love me any more and 1 might just as well take the children and go - ” He (looking up and stopping)— “Well, for pity's sake what is the matter now?" » » » • I will drop the curtain. You all know what will happen if he is a kind, good man. the kind who has rather stronger, steadier nerves than the most; and you know what will happen if he is the little, cross.-grained, ner-vous-edged man or the nervous old maid who Is annoyed in her reading But that never happens when wide keeps still. She waits till HE is fed and warm and quiet and has read out and relaxed and ready to be patted on the back and be purred over and petted and then —he will just open up and expand and tell everything he knows except—well, just a few things!

Drink before breakfast/ a glass of real hot water with a teaspoonful of limestone phosphate in it. This will flush the poisons and toxins from stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels and cleanse, sweeten and purify the entire alimentary tract. Do your inside bathing immediately upon arising in the morning to wash out of the system all the previous day’s poisonous waste, gases and sour bile before putting more food into the stomach. To feel like young folks feel; like you felt before your blood, nerves and muscles became loaded with body impurities, get from your pharmacist a quarter pound of limestone phosphate which is inexpensive and almost tasteless, except for a sourish twinge which is not unpleasant. Just as soap and hot water act on the skin, cleansing, sweetening and freshening, so hot water and limestone phosphate act on the stomach, liver, kidneys and bowels. Men and women who are usually constipated, bilious, headachy or have any stomach disorder should begin this inside bathing before breakfast. They are assured they will become real cranks on the subject shortly. o | DRINK HOT TEA FOR A BAD COLD f i » Get a small package of Hamburg Brea t Tea, or as the German folks call it, “Hamburger Brust Thee,” at any pharmacy.

It is the most effective way to break a cold and cure grip, as it opens the pores of the skin, relieving congestion. Also loosens the bowels, thus driving a cold, from the system. , Try if the next time you suffer from a cold or the grip. It is inexpensive and entirely vegetable, therefore safe and harmless.
