It is her fault if she lets him drink and bring uphappiness and poverty to her home and she has no right to complain. A woman can stop a drinking husband in a few weeks for half what he would tpend on liquor, so why waste sym pathy on a wife who refuses to do it? Druggist Brown also says the right time to stop the drink habit is at its beginning unless you want drink to deaden the line sensibilities of the hus band you love. Begin with the lirst whiff of liquor on his breath but da jiot despair if he has gone from bad to worse until he is rum-soaked through and through.

CAT TAX DOESNT GO FAR ENOUGH Poll Parrots, Coddling Moths, Wire Worm and Old Friend Woolly Aphis Remain In the biennial mad rush to in crease the revenues of the State, Rep resentative William J. Howarth, of Al legheny county, has come forward with a proposition to tax cats 50 cents a head, estimating it will pro duce a revenue of upwards of $1,000,- 000 a year. Just how he makes this estimate of approximately 2,000,000 felines lias not been disclosed. The tax levying powers in the coun ties and municipalities throughout the State, especially the more populous ones, are showing .that much of the heavy increase in the tax burden comes from legislation, which carries with it. new offices with salaries. In order to work out the tax on cats it would first be necessary to employ a number of experts to determine when is a cat not a kitten. Chairman James F. Woodward, of the House appropriations committee, came to Harrisburg last night. He gave out a statement showing'tliat the legislative proposition evolved by Mr. Howarth meets with his approval, with the exception that it does go far enough. Parrots Overlooked Mr. Woodward said: "Mr. Howarth appears to have solved a part of the important problem before us of add ing $5,000,000 annually to the revenues ot the State. Of course, we are wait ting to see his proposed enactment and learn just how he has worked out the problem of assessing and collect ing the tax. "I am of the opinion that Mr. Howarth could go further along this line of covering new subjects of taxation and add the poll parrot, the canary bird, the grey squirrel and the pigeon." While Mr. Woodward usually covers any legislative Held he undertakes to discuss he is apparently overlooking some other good sources of revenue, which in addition to adding to the in come of the Commonwealth would also enable the State to put a curb on some activities more or less annoying to the farmer and the horticulturalist. The records show that the potato grub ate SIS,L'OU > OOO worth of the 191G tuber crop. Having gourmandized to this extravagant extent a proper as sessing of the pest would produce enough revenue to make the $50,000,- 000 road bond issue unnnecessary. Among others of his kind who could be added to the tax list are the fol lowing: The augumois grain moth which is ! rampant in the wheat raising sections of the State, notably Berks and Leba | non counties. Should He Headed Off The wire worm which should offer a timely subject for taxation because I when he is gorged on the tender roots | of the spring grass he turns to the strawberry crop for his diet. The woolly aphis which is most de ; structive in the apple orchard in the spring time and nearly as bad as his | name. The curcu.lio, which is easily locat ed and assessed because it is partial to I greenhouses and hothouses. The corn ear worm whose ravages I are almost making the price of politi cal corn roasts prohibitive. The cabbage fly which turns into a worm and has practically made sauer kraut an article for only the rich, and , caused mourning throughout the sauerkraut belt of eastern Pennsylva- S nia and made the "weinie" a drug on the markfet. . The tunnel maggot which without | securing a certificate of public con venience from tho Public Service j Commission bores subways in the j flesh of apples, pears and quinces. The Hessian fly which violated neu- I trality to the extent of thousands of I dollars of havoc among the wheat fields of Pennsylvania in t916. ! The red leaf blister beetle which has Its habitat on shade trees and his j relatives the chestnut blight and the j pine blister to say nothing of the old standby of the professional orchard | sprayer, tho San Jose scale, the cod | ling moth and the tussock. HOW TO CVRE CHILDREN OF NERVOUSNESS In the March Woman's Home Com panion Dr. Roger H. Dennett says: "It is impossible to give any one 1 plan of treatment for all nervous chil ; dren, because each case is different, and each child must be handled with the utmost common sense and tact, j Some children can be broken of their ; nervousness by severe and strict dis ! eipline, while others must be humored to a certain extent. Th'ere is one rule, however, which applies to all, and that is for those who surround the child never to become excited themselves, or to give a recital of the child's nervous ; symptoms in his presence. Neither : should nervous children continually he j told that they are nervous. In fact, it !is sometimes best to overlook the r nervous symptoms altogether. Nervous i children should be allowed to play i with other children of their own age, and not kept by themselves, as is often | done. Sometimes in the younger ehil -1 dren the nervous symptoms disappear ; when they start to school. HOW TO PROVIDE FOR OLD AGE. In the March Woman's Home Com- Ipanion Albert W. Atwood outlines the following practical way for middle aged women without dependents to ; provide for an income for later life. "Probably the best method," he says, "is to ask one or more life insurance companies to suggest a suitable form of annuity. One company, which calls this particular sort of annuity an 'in come bond,' will pay you S4O a month after you have reached the age of lifty-four for the rest of your life, in return for payments on your part up to the time you are fifty-four years old of $54.68 every three months. If you should die before you are fifty four, the company will return to any person you name the sum of tho pay ments you have made, or, if you should die after receiving one or more Instalments of monthly Income, and if at that time the sum of the payments received by thb company exceeds the sum of the payments of monthly in come to you, the excess will bo turned over to your heir. This is an abso lutely safe method of providing for the future." FASHION'S LATEST WHIMS. In the March Woman's Home Com panion Grace Margaret Gould says: "The latest whim of Fashion Is to use the same fabric for hat and blouse. This spring and summer hatu made of organdla, and other dainty fabrics in pastel shades will be worn with blouses to match. "For mid-season festivities, stock ings are gray. As an Illustration, brilliant green silk stockings show in sets of equally bright greer. sequins. There are others hand-pninted, One pair is yellow silk, hand-painted In purple pansles.
