first call on n help I surely enjoy your column I have clipped many of the recipes and also other things Now Miss Blair I am the mother of nine nine living children 17 years the eldest and four monts the young young- est You know that that- I hav have my hands full but my husband has an I habit of taking his pay paycheck check and I never get a nickel He drinks s heavily and at times he is awfully sulky when sober sobel He wont won't eat at the table when the family eats Now Nowr I am a hard worker and I never hire a thing done dont and in no wa way am I selfish H He likes to dress ni nicely ely himself and to have lots himself but he doesn't like to have any of us have any any- thing He keeps his pay check and doesn't pay the bills and it its it's s awfully awfully aw- aw fully hard on me We have just got to the state that I dont don't know which way to turn or 01 what to do as I have nothing to do with I You know that I have no chance hance to earn anything as as' my hands are full doing for my children The larger children dont don't care a snap for their daddy because he isn't respectful to them and all the children are all for mama It gets gets' worse instead of better Can you please give me some idea what to todo todo do Can children be put in an orphans orphans' home when they have parents I dont don't think that I could stand that anyway A BROKENHEARTED MOTHER Yes you ro most certainly have your you I hands full and amI a real problem problem lem to out Just at present it seems as if there is little that you could coul do to alter conditions because because be- be cause of the helplessness of your young youngest st child and your own as aslon lon font as you have a bab baby that young oung But in the future you c can n make things work worl out the way you ou wish them to There is In the world why you should go on bearing bearing bear bear- ing all the burdens budens without even the compensation of oC the devotion or appreciation ot of y your ur h husband If Ie you dont don't have any more children children chil- chil dren to keep you ou tied at home by their helplessness and your own you ou and the the older children can toward a happier situation for aU all concerned and you should be able to achieve e at least a part of this within a years year's time lf If you leave your our husband the courts court will ill grant you ou alimony at least a apart part of his pay check and with the I help of the older children who should be able to help financiallY you should be ble to get along along- Since you have lost all hope of I happiness with your husband as asfar far fa as consideration fairness or companionship go you must plan your our own future and that of your children Make fake it your ambition and instill it Into them to work worl for educations for all of them and bit by bit if iC you all cooperate you can make a more attractive and a happIer hap hap- pIer home Your children you say are devoted to you so that means that you can work worl things put out with them When your baby Is old enough to leave if you come to Salt Lf lE there are places where the younger children not of school age can be kept during the day If you wish to togo i igo go out to work But have you thought of oC wa ways s of malting making money even en if you ou sta stay In your own town How about keeping leeping chickens and selling the e eggs s either there or by contracting to ship them How about the p possibilities of oC dairy products There is always a market marlet mar mar- let ket for cream and butter Your children childr m could help you there too Think things over anti and see what youcan you rou can d do Economic or financial Independence independence dence is the only salvation of women whose husbands claim the privilege of handling every cent of the family income and thereby ride as lords or masters forgetting that the woman who has the children and keeps up the home more than earns a full share to 10 do with as she pleases We Ve are coming more and more to appreciate the necessity necessity sity of women being able to plead th their ir own cases in the same language lan lan- guaJe guage as ag the men that of the pay paycheck paycheck check In maintaining fairness A person who is without a cent is helpless theres there's little argument against that and she is doubly so if there are small children upon her But there are ways wars out nowadays and women no longer have ha to tolerate unbearable condi- condi I You can matsa your our future what you wish or proximately that handicapped as you ou are but you ou must go slowly vly and consider the best interests of your children childen first of all Make fake your plans and talk things I over with your our eldest child then if I we can be of an any help let us know It might be well to tell your our husband husband hus- hus band what you have hae in in mind and give gi him another chance to pla play the the game game on the Dear Deal Miss Blair Which way
