, 7Hg INTERFERING HUSBAND
Ellen Adair Thinks He Is Ihc Greatest of Trials
That the Interfering husband la a
trrrSr ffi imi- 'woman Is an undeniable
tgtf ttytjj$timMy kinds of husband,
tf&
the hardest of Alt to set along- with
e meddlesome one tho man who
"es himself general superintendent of
n
ie domesfld side of the establishment
This I the peculiar province of woman,
and the husband who Intrudes here Is
something Worse than a fool.
Many a. woman's heart has been almost
broken over such a man, for his petti
ness Is enbugh to upset a. saint IIo Is
assertive and dictatorial to a decree, and
seeks to crush the wilt of others, and
jiCrtlcufarly that of his unfortunate wife,
beneath the arrogance of his own.
Lknow a woman who cannot keep her
servants for any length of lime,, owing;
to the perpotual interference of her hus
band Ho will not leave the girls alone,
but keeps visiting tho kitchen with the
Object of flndlng out If everything Is
conducted In a manner to satiety him.
Hence (ho servahts refuse to stay, and
indignantly pack their trunks for an Im
mediate departure. '
A. man of this type. Is peculiarly Irritat
ing. I fancy thoro to soma close connec
tion between the only son and the In
terfering husband. I should not bo at
alt surprised to learn that In most cases
It ts a mother's only son, who, after
years of petting In his mother's home,
later develops Into tho Interfering hus
band. This la not an extravagant Iew aftor
all, for on only son can learn a great
deal about the management of a homo
from tils mother, If sho is foolish enough
to give htm Instruction In domestic nrts.
Not -only will the Interfering husband
Her Mission
Bhe was only a llttlo -woman, 'Us true,
And hers was a common story;
She never had dreamed of a thing to da
That would lead to fame or glory.
She could not paint, and she could not
sing,
And she could not writo a sonnet;
Sho had not a face that would lend a
graco
To a stylish love of a bonnet
She had not wealth, and she know not
case:
Sho never had traveled for pleasure;
She knew not an art to charm and please
In the realms of social leisure.
And yet sho deemed thnt her llfo was
ble,st
In Its,liumbfe sphere of duty.
Though only those who knew her best
Guessed half of Its hidden beauty.
For hers was a genius for little things
The realm of home to brighten;
And she scorned not the humblest work
that brings
Some force to cheer and enlighten.
For comfort nnd order were hers to com
mand. And the toys ot life seemed longer.
While childhood clung to her loving hand,
And manhood through her grew
stronger.
And some who loved her were half afraid
That her Sphere was far too small;
But, oh, the happy home she made
"Was a great thing after all!
s And when her beauteous spirit shall flee
-"Trrom Its realm of loving and giving.
' Her stainless monument Shall be
? The lives that were blest by her living.

A FEW FACTS ABOUT BEEF TEA
r-
By a Careful
There are a good many mothers and
nurses wiio have a wrong idea about the
value of bevcf tea as a food.
Now, I am not going to say anything
: against the usefulness of beef tea. It
has Its .uses, and, If they are understood,
beef-tea, has Its value; but Its value Is
not that af a very nourishing food. Beef
tcaslmfaly Isn't a food.
IT IS A STIMULANT
Some people, when you say this to them,
look nt you with bewilderment and ask.
"Then what on earth Is lt7"
The answer to this ts, "It is a stimu
lant." Do you clearly grasp the difference be
tween a food and a stimulant?
You can easily see the difference there
is between a whip and a bag of oats, or
between a poker and a shovelful of coals.
In both these cases the first Is a atimu
Intlt, the second is a food.
You knbw what would happen to a
horro If -you drove it for two or three
days with nb sustenance but the stimu
lation of a whip, or what would become
of a fire under constant poking and no
feeding with coal.
This doesn't prove that there ts no value
In a whip or a poker, does It? It proves
that these implements have their uses,
but that their uses have their limits.
Beef tea. by itself, won't support) Ufa as
a continued diet, but It is very valuable
as a stimulant and oftentimes really
nourishing food cannot be digested until
soma kind of stimulant has been taken
first to revive the flagging' energies of
the body.
Bsef tea- is splendid In such cases, and
ot far greater use than spirits.
AJJXER AW AOqiDBNT
Taka "shook." for lnstanoe, such as fel
lows accidents, sometimes not very severe
accidents.
A .burn, c-r scald or deep cot is often
followed by "shock," which ahowa Itself
in shivering and great depression. The
popular treatment for this Is brandy.
IPrfonda Tush for tho brandy bottle. But
too great a quantity of spirits will deepen
tho condition of "shock," and may so de
press the heart that it will not recover
Ua aotlon.
Beef tea can never have this disastrous
effect, therefore, it Is always a safer stim
ulant than any kind of spirits.
The trouble is, of course, that it is iu)t
alway n hand when an accident takes
Kia.ee. whereas one can generally get hold
of SStrtts.

servants' affairs, but he will Inevitably
Interfere with the training of the chll
dren Ills views are both fixed nnd
obstinate-, nnd he falls to see that It Is
hla duty" to co-operate with tits wife in
the training' of .the children, Invariably
giving the unfortunate youngsters In
structions quite contrary to thosotof the
mother. lichee the children become con
futed amidst tho rontrndlctory instruc
tions given them by their father and
mother, and tho results nro not con
ducive to good character.
Children learn the little things of life
moVo easily if the iaotlier instructs them
In her own way, and nature fits her to
give such Instruction. If tho husband
Interferes the children at once realize
this fact and do not hesitate to take full
advantage.
It InKy be very true that an Interfering
husband can be cured. Ten, hut there Is
no tlmo to be lost over making a begin
ning, nnd such a man shows up In his
true colors very soon after marriage.
Unhappily, however, a ytfilng wife Just
Hewly Retried down Is Inclined to be veiy
tolerant, and rather delights In her hus
band taking what he calls an "Interest"
In everything. Alasl that Interest can
easily develop too far, until In tho Inst
analysts It has become nothing more nor
less than a continual and Impertinent In
terference! A loung wife must be quite determined
on the Immediate crushing of this detest
able characteristic, onco It tins really ap
peared In her husband. Fcr tho habit,
llko tho 111 weed, grows apnee, nnd will
rendor her matrimonial career most un
happy. Tho husband must bo clearly
shown that ho has his own nfTalrs to at
tend to. while Mi wlfo has hers There
should be no Interfering In lior particular
province, nnd ho must learn to keep
strictly within his own sphere
The Girl Who Stays at
Home
The girl who has to stay nt homo and
help. Instead of golnz out to work, can,
If she will, fill the lives of those In the
house with much Jo and happiness
Her first duty should bo to seo that
those for whoso Welfare she is responsible
nre made as happy and comfortable as
possible.
She should make up her mind to be
Patient, willing and cheerful
tnselflsh, kind and good tempered
forbearing with the faults and whims
of others.
Aluavs neat and tidy And she should
have n bright smllo and kindly smpathy
for nil.
All sorts of llttlo crosses, worries and
vexations crop up to try mother's right
hand. Thiso petty annovanccs and crosses
must be bravely met nnd fought down.
Tho best thing Is to forget all about them,
nnd look for tho bright Briots There Is
Hlnavs plenty of silver behind the clouds
If wo only look for It. What the brave,
patient home-worker has to do ts to Iook
on the bright side of life
The stay-at-homo girl should endeavor
to be mother's loy and father's pride. Sho
must help In the housework, do the mend
ing, mind the children, give a hand nt the
Ironing, and help cook the meals "When
father comes home, she can have his
fnvorlte chair drawn up to tho spot he
likes best, and be ready to tend to his
needs and comforts. Then, when nil the
day's work Is done and the ovenlng meal
Is ovor, she oanl 1 ead aloud from somo
good book oT paper.
The home worker must Just live for
others, and make sure that those who
are depondent on her for comfort have
the best that sho can glvo them.
A girl audi as this wins the esteem and
affection of every one with whom she
comes In contact, and It li just this sort
of girl who wins the love of a good man.
Housekeeper

masticate anything. I advised her to
try this:
Put a teacupful of strong beef tea Into
n. big tumbler, add the same quantity of
good, rich mlllc (the "top" of tho milk
after It has stood for a couple of hours
Is the richest), nnd All up with soda
water from a syphon.
This makes a mos refreshing drink,
and It la also very sustaining.
HOW TO MAKE BEEP TEA
Remember that boiling beef and wa
ter together does not make good beef
tea.
Tetch the albumen out by first chop
ping the meat extremely small, and then
putting It Into slightly salted cold water,
and allowing It to soak In this from one
hour to secral hours.
Then the whole should be slowly
stewed, but not allowed to be boiled,
until the meat Is In Bhreds. after which
the liquor la poured from the meat, and
this Is well pressed to extract all the
goodness from It.
Hero Is a recipe for beef tea given by
a famous doctor. It ts very simple.
Take three-quarters of a pound of
lean gravy-beef, remove all skin and
gristle, cut Into pieces an Inch square,
place In a basin with a gill (I. e., a
quarter of a pint) of cold water, add a
little salt, and leave for an hour, so as
to allow the water to draw out all the
Juices of the meat.
Next take the pieces of meat out of
this water, put them into a Jar with a
pint of cold water, and put the Jar Into
a pan ot boiling water for two houra.
After removing the Jar, pour the gill
of cold Jutce Into the hot beet tea, re
move tho pieces of meat, and pound well
In a wooden bowl with tho end of a
rolling pin. adding any liquor which ex
udes to the beef tea,
Flavor with celery or cloves, Ifde
sired.
Hints for the Housewife
An Excellent Mop. Save alt old stock
ings and socks, and when you have col
lected a fair number, cut them Into strips
about tt Inches long, and arrange them
so that they crosa each other. Through
the centro make a hole and Insert a
long screw with a dtsa of leathar at the
head. Take an old broom-handle and
screw the bundle of rags securely Into It
This mop will prove an excellent medium
for polishing wood floors or linoleum, and
Is also useful for washing tiled court or
scullery floor

THAT INTEREST MAID ANDMitiw
The Engaged Girl
If an engaged gtrt has been bo unfortu
nate m to quarrel with her futuro par-fcnts-.n-law,
sho must do her very best
to make the peace.
The first thing sho must do ts to ask
herself how much she is to blame in the
matter. lt her nek herself these ques
tions, "Have I aggravated them In any way?"
"Have I spoken ngntnst ihem behind
heir backs?"
"Do I try to think the best of their mo
tives and' actions?"
"Has my behavior, by word or deed,
given them cause for annoyance?"
If she finds by careful aetf-cxamlnatlon
that sho has not tourt them In any way,
she must not allow herself to become em
bittered, but must still be keenly anxious
to patch up the quarrel.
Should her conscience tell her that she
Is to blame, then sho must at once be
ready to make amends, nnd ask forgive
ness. This la not only duo to those whom
she hna wronged, but, as a point of
honor and loyalty sne owes it to her
future husband to do so.
Far tho best course for every girl to
taka Is to seo that her behavior to her.
futuro parents-ln-law Is always such ns
to Insuro peaco and harmony. No bitter,
resentful words about them should ever
pass her lips. Sho must remember that
her futuro parents-ln-law nro her sweet
heart's people, that they are very dear
to him, nnd that If sho slights them (she
also wounds him.
She may rest assured that If her sweet
