We both evidently one of a large comMy sister and married fine men but they are very different in many ways. At the time of our marriage, my sister kept her Job and has continued working. Her husband is very proud of her and brags on He also helps around the her. house and they are getting on fine financially and in every other way. Although my husband's salary is more than my brother-in-law'it docs not allow us the little luxuries they have, so about a year ago I suggested to my husband that I take my old Job back and help out for a while. He was not too enthusiastic but he didnt object, so I have been working as a secretary ever since. My trouble is this: my husband not only refuses to help at all around the house but he is much more critical of the way I do things than ever before. He speaks of my iob before other people like it might be a harmless hobby I have taken up that makes me neglect my home duties. He ignores the fact that I am helping pay expenses and gives other people the impression that I just work so that I can have more money to throw away on my personal desires. I am tired and unhappy over this situation. What would you do if you were me? WORRIED GA. Answer: s, -- men who get an inferiority plex if they feel that their wives iave to go out to work. They rare-- y ever worry if she has to do three times the amount of work at home. The mere fact that she has to work outside makes them feel that they are not doing a mans part and they try to make light of her job. It helps their feelings to imagine that she is just having fun and neglecting her duties at home. Personally, I think that unless a woman with such a husband finds it absolutely necessary to work for bread and meat, she is much better off at home doing without a few luxuries, A man like the above needs to feel that his wife is depending on him to provide and if she gives him lots of attention at home, he will usually rise 'much faster than he would otherwise. Of course, your brother-in-lais an altogether different person. on He is willing to go fifty-fift- y and to even givpraise everything, ing credit to his wife for what she is doing and they are much happier living and working as they do. No two men are alike and what suits one will not do for another. Your husband probably has many fine traits that your brother-in-lalacks and vice versa, so the best thing you can do is to find out what course gives the two of you more happiness and follow it.

(It may be Since time immemorial people have been trying to alter the status quo of their atmospheric displacement, which is to say that they have been trying to lose, or gain, weight. Throughout the land, men and enterprises dedicated to the proposition of distributing the weight making fat people thin and thin people fat have waxed, flourished and evolved into a major national industry, that reaches into the dollar figure. Multitudinous gadgets, foods, pills, machines, systems and devices pass in never ending streams from elated producers to wishful consumers, as the countless thousands struggle desperately against the subtle encroachments of creeping avoirdupois. A swift analysis and cursory study of the situation leads one to the inescapable fact that there is only one sure and certain method of losing weight and that method entails a sacrifice the extreme horror of which causes one to bite the lip and draw back aghast. This method, stated simply is: Strive to curtail and diminish the daily absorption of calories via the digestive track. Stated still more simply the method is: Stop eating so darn much. State with all the simplicity we can muster, it is: Stop being a multi-mil- lion . pig.

Ingrown toenails. Korea. Black Widow spiders. The international situation. The national situation. The local situation. Any situation. A good practice is to consider each of these topics for five minutes before going to sleep at night. If you do this with sufficient sincerity you will soon find that you are not only worrying, you are also unable to go to sleep. In this respect it might be pointed out that lack of sleep is also good for reducing. There are various foods on the market, that are expressly concocted for people who are trying to reduce. Such a food might be advertised as follows: Are you trying to reduce ? Then eat CRYE KRISP. CRYE KRISP is that remarkable discovery that enables you to go through the motions of eating fopd without actually doing so. For wonderful CRYE KRISP contains no vitamins, no carbohydrates, no proteins. CRYE KRISP contains no food value whatsoever. And yet it enables you to chew and swallow and pick your teeth. So . friends, next time you feel tempted to eat food, try a CRYE KRISP jam sandwich instead. This consists simply of two slices of CRYE KRISP jammed together. People trying to reduce should have a supply of Crye Krisp on hand at home, as well as where they work. Its great as a moral lifter when the travail gets rough. When you feel that it is not possible to go without food longer, just reach into the drawer and take out a slice of good unnourishing Crye Krisp, and nibble on that. If you find that you are out of Crye Kisp just nibble on the drawer theres very little difference. Does farm , t9 aUJ gentle blood wil, 'Edmund Sj vork cheaper rlul(3 UTAH POWER & LIGHT CO.
