An unhappy woman put the question to ine In a letter the other day, and Then proceeded to answer It. "Money: is the chief cause of domestic till happiness. Other married woes may be endured with dignity, patience, | resignation, but there is something | degrading about the disputes that j arise over money." My correspondent then went 011 toj toll me about her own case, fihei and her husband had been through! everything together—poverty, sick-! Hess, the death of a child, then sue-! l ess and prosperity. But breakers were now ahead, because they could! not compromise their differences on I money matters. The wife Insisted that she was not, ixtravagant, and to prove her claim, 1 went on to tell that in their ieani years she often did all the house hold work, besides taring for the children and doing the family sew ing. And now that her husband was! prosperous, even more than pros-| porous, she felt that a little dascj and comfort were only her due.' "But," she went on to say, "he al-| lows me for household expanses) but little more than he gave me in our direst poverty, lie still ex pects me to do a great deal of the housework, and gives me no per- / senal allowance at all." The matter came to a climax when she ordered some necessary| clothing at a department store, nmlj had the bill sent to her husband.! who promptly refused to pay it; siioi appealed to a woman relative who] settled the bill, and now the wife ex-| pects to sue for separation and main- j tenance. Prosperity Is Fatal An extreme case, you will say, | and very probably it is, but varia-j tions on this distressing and sordid! theme disturb the peace of far teo| many American families. The amaz-j ing thing is that people can face pov-j erty together—they car. scrimp ami save and do without—but prosperity j will upset the domestic ship in seven | cases out of ten. People Who have been through, everything together, as this woman j says, "sickness and the death of a j child," will turn and rend each oth-! er for a few miserable dollars and I some sticks of worthless furniture'.! They forget that in getting down I to this primitive basis and quar-1 reling, as their "arboreal ancestors"l Stop Corn Agony In Four Seconds Use "Gets-It"—See Corns Peel Off! The relief that "Gets-It" gives from corn-pains—the way it makes corns and calluses peel off painlessly in one piece—is one of the wonders of the " world. The woman in the home, the "Get Me 'GeU-It* I Quick!

It takes 2 seconds to ap ply "Gets-It;" it dries at once. Then walk with painless Joy, even with tight shoes. You know your corn will loosen from your toe—peel it off with your fingers.

ACIDS IN STOMACH CAUSE INDIGESTION Create Cias, Sourness and Pain How To Treat Medical authorities state that near ly nine-tenths of the cases of stomach trouble, indigestion, sourness, burn ing, gas, bloating, nausea, etc., are due to an excess of hydrochloric acid in the stomach and not as some be lieve to a lack of digestive juices. The delicate stomach lining is irri tated, digestion is delayed and food sours, causing the disagreeable symp toms which every stomach sufferer knows so well. Artificial digestents arc not needed in such cases and may do real harm. Try laying aside all digestive aids and instead get from G. A. Gorgas or any druggist a few ounces of Bisu rated Magnesia and take a teaspoon ful In a quarter glass of water light after eating. This sweetens the stom ach. prevents the formation of excess acid and there is no sourness, gas or pain. Bisurated Magnesia (in powder or tablet form —never liquid or milk) is harmless to the stomach, inexpen sive to take and is the most effi cient form of magnesia for stomach purposes. It is used by thousands of people who enjoy their meals with no more fear of indigestion.

They are the best things in life, the most uplifting forces in the world. Money , household goods, clothss, jewelry and success come; in ac quiring them we realize how much more alluring was their pursuit' than the actual possession. - But' love and trust endure till Die end, I if they are not ruthlessly done to death. In an extreme case, like that of the woman who wrote me, doubt-1 less the ingrained habits of squee/.-j ing every penny till it does the! work of two, necessary to lift a man I lrom poverty to success, leaves its j imprint on the character of the in-: dividual. In this case it seems to! have left so much of avarice that :t| is difficult to lind anything of the real i man. I.ove of Money I'surps All The hoarding of money takes the? place of wife and child; there is no: joy in life comparable to juggling money that it may yield a ftwj more pennies to be invested, putj in the bank, the old worsted stock-; ing, or wherever else the miser; keeps the darling of his heart. Take the case of our most fa- j mous miser among the captains ofj finance of a generation ago. The; hoarding of money, even pennies,! had become pathological with him, I he could not bring himself to! spend, even if he knew that hoard ing for a week, or a month, or even a year longer, would cost him a thousand-fold in the end. The papers made much of thisj story at the time it happened. The| door bell of his bleak home was; of the old-fashioned type that has; to be pulled instead of pressed. It, had long been out of order, and his wife, visitors and the servants con- j tinued to report to the head of the! house the inconvenience of its lack I of repair. He Preferred to Take the Risk j But the old gentleman could not! be made to spend the dollar that! would put it in order. He pre-1 ferred to give the bell the mighty jerk that was required to make it heard. Coming home from Wall Street : one day, he pulled the balky bell as usual. The rusty wire broke, and the capitalist went sprawling back ward down his brownstone steps. j When the specialists had finished] patching and mending him, their bills amounted to several thousands, | and the bell had to be repaired in-j to the bargain. Curiously enough, he; did not complain over the colossal expenditure; he paid it as another' man of his class would buy a rare J picture or a tapestry. When it came i to a showdown, he was willing tol pay the price for his pet weakness, I that is, "Never to spend a penny til! actually driven to it." Saving Not Vice of Americans Saving is certainly not the vice ofl the American people, especially the women, who spend more money on; their clothes, it is alleged, than [ill j the women of Europe put together. What would our grandmother, j with that sole black silk dress that was inherited from generation j to generation think of those di-! aplianous fabrics, those chiffons and gauzes, that we feel we must have in such profusion these days? Undoubtedly our point of view has changed very materially since grandma solemnly bequeathed- her best black silk and her mink furs to her favorite daughter. In those days no one would have dreamed of altering furs; they were as final in cut and shape as death and taxes, but now we tear up our furs and! have them made over every season. Are we any happier than was grandma with her gentle placidity and her one black silk frock? I doubt it. And certainly the inces sant demand for money and the re fusal and ensuing altercations are at the bottom of much unrest in ouri domestic life. But the war is gradually reform-j ing us. and the new impetus to thrift given us by the Liberty Bond drive may save us from one of our least commendable tendencies.

Apart from the discomfort of this method of traveling and the slow time I made, there was an added danger to me in the fact that the "squash, squash" noise which I made might easily be overheard by Bel gians and Germans and give my po sition away. Nobody would cross a swamp or marsh in that part of the country unless he was trying to get away from somebody, and I realized my danger but could not get around it. * Cows Yoked With Donkeys It was a common sight in Belgium to see a small donkey and a com mon ordinary milch cow hitched to gether, pulling a wagon. When I first observed the unusual combina tion 1 thought it was a donkey and ox or bull, but closer inspection re vealed to me that cows were being used for the purpose. From what I was able to observe, there must be very few horses left 1 Daily Fashion j I Hint j I Prepared Especially For This £ ! | Newspaper f T467 Y A SATIN TAILLEUR.

Altogether 1 spent nearly eight weeks wandering through Belgium, and in alt that time I don't believe 1 saw more than half a dozen horses in the posses sion of the native population. One of the scarcest things in Ger many, apparently, is rubber, for I noticed that their motor trucks, or lorries, unlike our own, had no rub ber tires. Instead, heavy iron bands were employed. 1 could hear them come rumbling along the stone roads for miles before they reached the spot where I happened to be in hid ing. When I saw these military roads in Belgium for the first time, with their heavy cobblestones that looked as if they would last for centuries, I realized at once why it was that the Germans had been able to make such a rapid advance into Belgium at the start of the war. I noticed that the Belgians used dogs to a considerable extent to pull their carts, and I thought many times that if I could have stolen one of those dogs it would have made a very good companion for me and might, if the occasion arose, help me out in a fight. But I had no way ot' feeding it and the animal would probably have starved to death. I could live on vegetables, which 1 could always depend upon finding in the fields, but a dog couldn't and so I gave up the idea. Fires Too Dangerous The knack of making Are with two pieces of dry wood 1 had often read about, but i had never put it it to a tpst, and for various reasons I con cluded that it would be unsafe for me to build a fire even if I had matches. In the first place, there was no absolute need for it. I didn't have anything to cook nor utensils to cook it in even if I Had. While the air was getting to be rather cool at night, I was usually on the go at that time and didn't notice it. In the daytime, when, I was resting or sleeping, the sun was usually out. To have borrowed matches from a Belgian peasant would have been feasible, but when 1 was willing to tnke the chance of approaching any one, it was just as easy to ask food as matches. lri the second place, it would have been extremely dangerous to have built a tire even if I had needed it. You can't build u fire in Belgium, which is the most thickly populated country in Europe, without every one knowing it, and I was far from anxious to advertise my where abouts. The villages in the part of Bel gium through which 1 was making my course were so close together that there was hardly ever an hour passed without my hearing some clock strike. Every village has its clock. Many times I could hear the clocks striking in two villages at the same time. But the hour had very little inter est to me. My program was to travel as fast as I could from sun set to sunrise and pay no attention to the hours in between, and in the daytime I had only two things to worry about; keep concealed and get as much sleep as possible. Sick of Turnips and Beets The cabbage that I got in Belgium consisted of the small heads that the peasants had not cut. All the strength had concentrated in these little heads and they would be as bitter as gall. I would have to be pretty hungry to-day before X could ever eat cabbage again, and the same observation applies to carrots, turnips and sugar beets—especially sugar beets. It is rather a remarkable thing that to-day even a smell of turnips, raw or cooked, makes me sick, and yet a few short months ago my life depended upon them. Night after night as I searched for food, I was always in hopes that I might come upon some tomatoes or celery—vegetables which I really liked—but with the exception of once, when I found some celery, I was never so fortunate. I ate so much of the celery the night I came upon it that I was sick for two days thereafter, but I carried several bunches away with me and used to chew on It us I walked along. Of course, I kept my eyes open all the time for fruit trees, but appar ently it was too late in the year for fruit, as all I was ever able to find were two pears, which I got out of a tree. That was one of my red-letter days, but I was never able to repeat it. In the brooks and ponds that I passed I often noticed fish of differ ent. kinds. That was either In the early morning, just before I turned in for the day, or on moonlight nights when the water seemed as clear In spots as in the daytime. It occurred to me that it would be a simple matter to rig a hook and line end catch some of the fish, but I had no means of cooking them and It was useless to fish for the sake of . 18 * *4| 7- ?

This de stroys It entirely. To do this. Just get about four ounces of plain, ordinary liquid arvon; apply it at night when retiring; use enough to moisten the scalp and rub it in gently with the linger tips. By morning, most if not all, of your dandruff will be gone, and three or four more applications will com pletely dissolve and entirely destroy every single sign and trace of it, no matter how much dandruff you may have. You will find, too, that all Itching and digging of the scalp will stop instantly, and your hair will be Huffy, lustrous, glossy, silky and soft, and look and feel a hundred times better. You can get liquid arvon at any drug store. It is Inexpensive, and four ounces is all you will need. This sim ple remedy has never been known to ffi.il.—Adv. Ostend Channel Opens on Sea Like Neck of Bottle The Ostend Channel, which the British attempted to block with con crete-laden cruisers, apens like a neck of a bottle directly upon the North Sea. This channel, which leads from three large basins and several smaller ones, is about 2,300 feet long and 260 feet wide at Its narrowest point, expanding to a mouth 490 feet wide, The waterway is kept free from the shifting sands of the shore by two protecting moles flanking it east and west, while the town to the west is protected by a sea wall at the foot of which are the bathing establish ments. If the cruisers sunk were like those submerged at Zeebrugge —that Is, more than 300 feet in length—and were driven near enough, even without entering, the neck of the bottle, they would make a formidable barrier around which the sand would quickly, pile at this season of the year, both from the coast east and west and from the natural discharge of the channel carrying waste from a dozen towns on its way from Bruges, thirteen miles to the southeast. The sea wall runs along the beach as far as Mariakerke, three miles west of the town, and forms a for tification from which fire could be concentrated on the mouth of the channel. It is sixteen and a half to thirty-five yarcs wide and twenty five feet in height. Beyond the beaches on the South the channel connects with the Leo pold basin for merchantmen, and the naval and repair basin on the east, the new harbor on the south, and the fishing and commercial en closed docks on the west. From the basin containing the commercial docks runs the canal to Bruges. At Zeebrugge, a mole more than a mile and a half long, running in a curve to the northeast, protects an open harbor whose mouth is about seven-eighths of a mile wide. About half a mile east of the junction of the mole with the shore Is the chan nel which leads to the inner docks, and thence to the canal to Bruges, ten miles long. Half a mile east of this channel is the mouth to the Lys canal. Both canals have tide gates, and one report says that those "in side the mole" —that is, the Bruges canal gates—were destroyed. If the submarine which was detonated alongside the mole effected a break, the first of the nor'westers common on that coast would drive sand into the harbor.

No man or woman who eats meat I regularly can make a mistake by flushing the kidneys occasionally, says a well-known authority. Meat forms uric acid which excites the kidneys, they become overworked from the strain, get sluggish and fail to filter the waste and poisons from the blood, then we get sick. Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver trouble, nervousness, dizziness, sleeplessness and urinary disorders come from sluggish kidneys.
