‘ ) “Tr ' THE CASPER DAILY TRIBUNE IS MARRIAGE A BUSINESS CONTRACT? By LAURA JEAN LIBBEY. To heroism and holiness ‘How hard it is for man to soar; Rut how much harder to be less Than what his sweetheart loves him for. Given a peaceful, loving husband who does not raise a hue and cry at paying honest, needful household expenses, most any woman ought to be able to make e happy home for the man who has chosen her. When dis- content arises, who's to blame? Why, both, assur- edly, for not hav- ing a _heart-to- heart talk before marriage concern- ing the home that is to be set up.

There should be an anderstanding before marriage as to just how much he is able and willing to expend for the upkeep of a home. The home in- cludes the wife's personal expenses, her* clothes and other feminine ad- juncts. Cash to meet these expenses of the wife should be handed out to her as regularly as to the bool keeper in the office. What would any work- ing man think of the employer who gave him his wages in dribs? How long would he work for him if he had to beg and plead for it? That is the pitiful condition in which some men place their wives, realize that a wife puts as much into the business of home-making as he does, She dowers him with her youth, her love, her hopes and the womanly | qualities which make earth an Eden for a man. Not one wife in a thou- sand would think of asking her hus- band for the hard dollars her service is worth to him. Husbands are few and far between who are thoughtful enough to hand money to their wives, calling it pin mor or spending money—whatever fancy name they like. Yet every man owes it to his wife.

The question of money causes more friction and un- happiness in households than the dwindling of fervent love into friend- ship ever could. It is the main cause of unhappy wives, petting their de- spair.

WARNER Of Connecticut Agricultural College. Rearing chicks has its serious prob- lems, but the first six weeks of their lives are the most dangerous. Follow- ing are several essentials which, fol- lowed, will help in keeping the mortal- ity low: 1. Select strong, vigorous, well-ma- tured breeding stock that is free from disease and has been properly housed and fed. This gives the chicks a good start, providing the eggs have been properly incubated. 2. Make sure that the mother hens are free from lice and mites before the chicks are hatched. 8. If artificial brooding §s used, be sure that the brooder has a capacity large enough to allow the chicks a chance to get away from the heat when they want to, and that it is economical in its cost and in the fuel used. 4. Reiove all dead chicks from the brooder and bury or burn. 5. Mark all the weak or sick chicks so that they will never be used as breéders. 6. Keep brooders clean and well dis- infected. 7. Do not feed chicks until they are 48 to 60 hours old and then only limit- ed amounts of easily digested food for the first week. Use only clean and wholesome food. Provide a variety of feeds containing enough protein and ash. Give skimmed or sour milk to drink from the first day. It is an established fact that the chick does not use the entire yolk of the egg while developing in the shell. The remaining part of the egg is taken into the abdomen of the chick just be- fore it hatches, and this material ts sufficient to maintain the life of the chick for a number of days. Dr. F. P. Shaw, who has made an ex- tensive investigation of this subject, says that, “The digestive functions of the stomach (of the chicks) are devel- oped by the second day after hatching, whereas the pancreatic ferments are improperly developed before the sev- enth.” The finding of Doctor Shaw explains the common practice of not feeding chicks until two days old and then giving them only Imited amounts of easily digested foods for the first week.

A cold is a germ disease and its development is favored by undue ex- posure to cold, by fatigue, by improper sleep, and by overeating. Oue should keep away from the germs by avoiding direct contact with persons who are suffering with this disease and those who are careless about coughing and Sneezing without using their haudker- chiefs, One must live hygienically in order to keep the body in good condition. Hygienic living means proper food, clothing, exercise, rest, plenty of fresh air, and good habits generally, When one is fatigued or worried, or when prolonged chilling or indigestion dis- turbs the system the vitality is lowered and the way is made easy for the de- velopment of the germ.

It is advisable to harden oneself to cold, but care must be observed not to overdo the matter. Because a litte hardening will do good it does not nec- essarily follow that more will do bet- ter. The temperatr of the living room should never be kept so low as to chill the occupants, Special atten- tion should be given to keep the air in this room moist, as the drying of the mucous linings of the air passages causes them to crack and allow germs to enter.

Queen Nathalie of Serbia, Missing Since War Began, Found Working in Hospital The mystery of the whereabouts of ex-Queen Nathalie of Serbia, who dis- appeared at the outbreak of the war, was cleared up when she was discov- ered working as a common serving woman in a big hospital in Bordeaux, While investigating. the medical serv. ice of Bordeaux, Jean de Bonnefon, a well-known Catholic journalist, who used to attend the court ceremonies in Belgrade during the reign of the last Obrenovitch, found the queen sweep- ing the hospital. floors. When the war began the queen, whose history is the most tragic’court story known. to. Europe, placed her pal- ace at Binrritz In the hands of a friend, princess Ghika, and ordered it converted into a military hospital. “As for me,” she added, “I am go- ing to efface myself. The times are so tragic that these who were once rulers of men must aid them In all humility.” On the same evening Queen Nath- alie, unattended, entrained for an un- known destination, and her sulte had not heard a word of her since. In the hospital where De she volunteered her services under the name of Nathalie Kechoko, her maiden name, and for the last two years has performed the meanest and most e hausting duties, “When I last saw her at the Bel- grade court,” writes De Bonnefon, “King Milan's widow wore a blazing diadem and looked a haughty and queenly beauty. She was attired In a purple velvet cloak lined with ermine, Now she wore brown Holland overalls instead of the purple cloak.” The wounded soldiers are totally ig- norant of her identity. They speuk gratefully of her “saintly goodness” and her untiring efforts to aid them. At the queen's urgent request the ex- act location of the hospital is kept se- cret, as she intends working incognito until the end of the war.

The individual efforts of many # city man to convert himself into a far- mer may perhaps remain a subject of occasional jest, but Glasgow, in Scot- land, has shown the world that a city, as a city, may take up a farming enter- prise and come off with the smile quite neatly turned tother way about. By the reports just returned to Glasgow's lord provost, the municipality has ac- crued a round $9,000 of profit from the products of its farming. It all began in 1879. At that time it wus found that the city refuse destruc- tor was becoming less and less ade- quate to deal with the ever-increasing volume of the city’s refuse—the ashes from its furnaces and pots from 1ts households, the paper from the streets and all this manner of collectible ma- terial. So a tract of bogland was taken on a lease and turned over to the uses of the cleansing department.

Trees die from many causes, but few indeed die from the top dowuward, probably far Jess than 1 per cent. A tree may starve or die of thirst, buf the great majority die from disease, few succumb primarily to ravages of insects cr other pests, though these materially aid in hastening death, Fungous disease is the most potent factor in the destruction of large trees. The much-dreaded and fatal disease of the chestnut now ravaging some east- ern states is one of them. We occa- sionally find a huge oak which sudden- ly dies when apparently in fuil vigor and health.
