Heart and Beauty Problems By Mrs. Elizabeth Thompeoa

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I suppose a letter like this is very unusual, but it may be that someone else is confronted with a like problem, also. I have been married several years; ray husband is a very good man, works hard and is just as good and kind to me as when I married him, which is saying a good deal, isn't it? But he was broufrht up. or rather erew

UP without anyone bothering about such trifling things as manners. At the table he scoots down in his chair, eats with his knife, pushes his food onto his knife with his fingers, chews with his mouth open and holds his dishes right up under his nose. He crams his mouth and is in such a rush he nevar notices anyone else at the table; I must reach for what I want; he doesn't like to be bothered. No one can sit opposite him at the table because his feet go clear across and out on the other side. There are so many other things I can't set them all down. When we go down town and go in anywhere, he stalks right in and if I don't look out, I get slammed in the face with the door. I never nag at him, but have often tried in a sort of half-Joking way to make him ashamed of himself, and to make him do better. It amounted to nothing. A couple of years ago I was so humiliated that my anger boiled over and for once, the only time, I told him everything I could think of. I, as you might say. just raked him up one side and down the other.

"When I got all through, what do you suppose he said? "I wouldn't talk like that to you," with an injured look on his face. I could see, though, that he tried to do better for several days, but it soon wore off. My father has never seen my husband, but writes he may visit us this summer. I am crazy to have him come, for it is six years since I saw him; at the same time I dread for him to come. I love my husband dearly, but I just feel like shrieking sometimes, and I don't see how I can bear to have my father here. If he would Just leave off some of the most glaring of his faults I wouldn't mind the little ones. What would you do? DISCOURAGED. Your husband must be good to you. His reply when you upbraided him

shows that. Perhaps you have taken the wrong course in ridiculing him. The prospective visit of your father affords you a chance to try a new plan. Choose a propitious moment to tell your husband of your father's wish to come. Then explain how your husband's table and general manners make it almost impossible to have any visitors. Ask him earnestly if he will not try hard to correct his manners. Point out to him that you are not censuring him or trying to humiliate him, but are asking him to correct a fault for his sake as well as yours. If he is kind to you in other ways, he ought to heed your request. You might get a small book on etiquette for him and read It with him.

even remotely realized what a price she was paying. But the man was talking, and she wanted to hear. "And I tell you. friends, it Is not only the laborer with the callused hands who is exploited by the few who bold all the money and all the power. It's the clerks, the bookkeepers, the office help, the fellows who wear starched collars to work and think, therefore, that they are not laborers. But they are even worse off. The laborer has his union to help him fight. But those poor fellows, these white-collar slaves, have no one to help bear their burden. "They're as necessary to the community as the laborers and the man higher ip. Yet with 60 per cent, rise in the cost of living in the past few eyars, these poor devils still get no more than what they were getting

five years ago!" "A clerk is expected to make a decent appearance. He is told he must save for the rainy day and provide for his family's future. He may even

have his own notions of what a heme should be and how his wife and children should be given their chance to live! How can he give it to them? What chance has he? The answer is none! At least, not under this present system!" Bernard and Annie looked at each other. They had not expected to be interested in the speaker, or to Btay but a moment or two. But this spellbinder knew his business. The crowd was growing, and only now and then some one elbowed out from the center of it and disappeared. (To be continued.)

Household Hints By Mrs. Morton

A Chance to Live By Zoe Beckley

SPECIAL ELECTION TO BE CALLED IN FRANCHISE WAR

THE STREET SPEAKER "Why do we have such poverty?" went on the speaker. "I'll tell you why. It's because you are slaves You think you are living in freedom. But you are wrong! All over the world the ' man who owns your job owns you body, mind, heart and soul. You do as he says and take what he gives for fear of losing your job! If you lose your job you lose your !ove in time. What love, no matter how fine it is, can stand the constant nagnagging of hunger, cold, debts. 1 ,t( ouragement, poor clothes, dinginess. the prospect of a poverty-stricken old age?" Annie was holding tightly on to Bernie's arm as the speaker seemed to address himself to her and Bernie. "And so you take what the man who owns your Job chooses to give you. You're not free. If your boss ?ays work twelve hours, you work twelve hours or you lose your job. If your boss and his class think they aren't making profit enough, they cut down on the output so as to hike the price up, and put you on half time!

What have you got to say about it? If you quit, some one else will grab your job! , "Some men get together and decide to boost the price of milk. Your baby has got to be fed. How do you meet the hoist in price? You go without food yourself so's to pay it, or you buy cheap milk ajid your baby sickens. Who cares? And what are you going to do about it? "Or a coal company wants more dividends for its stockholders. They boost the price of coal. Instead of paying twelve cents for your bucket of coal you got to pay fifteen. You're buying your coal at $35 a ton! And what are you going to do about it? They play the fiddle and you dance! Your dance may be the dance o' death but life's cheap. Go ahead and die!" He paused a moment and in a flash Annie reviewed her recent struggles Coal by the pailful. "Loose" milk ladled from the grocer's can, with a bluish tinge and specks of dirt at the bottom! Everything in hand-to-mouth quantities because she must buy it that way or go without. She had not

TOMATO RECIPES Ramekin Tomatoes Six tomatoes, one small onion, one-half pint cream or white sauce. Scald and peel small tomatoes. Put a tablespoonful of white sauce into the bottom of each ramekin dish or custard cup, then the tomato and the remaining sauce over the top, sprinkling the whole with chopped parsley and the grated onion. Stand the dishes In a baking pan and bake In a moderate oven half an hour. Escalloped Tomatoes Six tomatoes, buttered crumbs, salt, pepper, sugar,

onion, grated. Cover bottom of buttered bakingpan

with buttered crumbs; cover with to

matoes, peeled and sliced, sprinkle with salt, pepper and a bit of sugar, if preferred sweet, and a few drops of grated onion juice; cover with buttered crumbs and bake over a medium flame until crumbs are brown. Tomatoes Stuffed with Pineapple Tomatoes, salt, pineapple, walnut or pecan meats, mayonnaise dressing, lettuce leaves. Peel medium sized tomatoes, remove a thin slice from the top of each and take out seeds and some of the pulp. Sprinkle inside with salt, invert and let stand to drain for half an hour. Cut sufficient fresh pineapple in small cubes to fill the cavities and combine with walnut or pecan meats in proportion of two-thirds pineapple cubes to one-third nut meats: mix

with mayonnaise dressing and fill tomatoes. Garnish with halves of nut meats and serve on bed of lettuce leaves. LIMA BEANS. Gather Lima beans for canning when the beans are in prime condition for the table. The sooner the beans are canned after picking, the better the product. After shelling the beans, sort carefully according to size. Blanch for 3 to 8 minutes in live steam or boiling water. Drain well and pack immediately in hot glass jars which have been boiled for fifteen minutes. Fill

jars with a brine made with 5 tablespoons of salt and 1 gallon of water. Put on a rubber ring which has been dipped into hot soda solution (1 teaspoon baking soda to 1 quart water). Half screw on top (which has been boiled 15 minutes) if a screw-top jar is used. Place jars on false bottom in the water-bath canner, either homemade or commercial. Water should cover the tops of the jars. If one period of processing is used, boil for ISO minutes after water starts to boil. If the intermittent processing is followed, boil 1 hour on each of three successive days. A steam pressure canner is recommended for the canning of Lima

beans. If one is used, process for 45 minutes under 10 pounds of steam at a temperature of 240 degrees F. After processing the required time, remove the filled containers, tighten the covers of the jars, cool and test the seal. When cold wrap in paper and store in a cool, dark, dry place. Usually, a better flavored finished Lima bean product is obtained by drying Lima beans instead of canning them. Yery large Lima beans are often

canned with corn for succotash in parts of the country where corn and

Deans mature at the same time.

Building Loan Companies Report Big Business; Own Home Campaign is Cause An Increase in the number of people purchasing houses has been noted! since the "Own Your Own Home" campaign went into effect, say the officials of local building and loan companies early Thursday morning Building association officers report that the companies are prosperous. "Very few new houses are being built, but tbe number of houses already built that Is changing hands is astonishing," says one official. "The chief reason for this is the difficulty people, who never owned their own homes before, are experiencing In the renting of desirable houses, and when they were fortunate enough to secure a house, in a great many Instances it was sold over their heads and they were forced to begin their search over. "If these renters had a little capital caved they usually finished up by purchasing a house, so they could be reasonably sure of having a house over their heads."
