A tree sparkling with lights, a wreath in the window. a garland and mistletoe over the door are now symbols of yulc- tide.

In a wise choice of Christmas decorations we can express our sense of beauty and good taste as ivell as show our knowledge and love of the green life of our for- ests. In city homes a living Christmas tree of pine or spruce lf often bought and kept carefully wrapped about the roots until after the holiday season, then it is planted out in the garden in a place that has been prepared for it some weeks before and covered with a mulch of some material to keep the ground from freezing. It is then a joy to them for many years, but ll'l the country we usually have many of them for summer or winter.

OPERATION TO RELIEVE PAIN IN INOYERABLE CANCER OF STOMACH

Notwithstanding all that ls known about cancer being curable in its early stages, thousands dic

it ls-ouly too true that in many cases of cancer 0f the stomach the symptoms are so slight or hidden that the patient does not consult his physician until it is too late to undergo operation for rrtnoval of the cancer and adjoining tissue and glands, and the patients life cannot be saved. He thought his pain was due to simple indigestion. As we thliik 0f the pain in most cases of stomach cancer, discovered too late for successful treatment. we realize the terrible prospect of unbearable pain which must be controlled by," morphine or other powerful habit-fanning drugs. And. because of the chant-cs of acquir- ing the morphine habit many physicians, not iii America but in Other countries. allow patients to suffer from gallstone colic and lpaiii from stomach cancer. lt iWﬁillfl be more merciful. iiiiiisi phy- siciaus think. to allow ihrin to ar- iquire the drug habit thiin allow them to suffer such terrible piiin.

Wife's Complaint

Slovenly, Unkempl’ Husband Demands She Stay Alluring

DEAR MISS DIX: Why does it seem to be a law of nature that the woman must always be alluring in order to hold the interest and lave of n nian, while the man goes unshaven and slouch)’. even dirty. and tnkcs no care of his personal appearance and still expects the woman to g0 on loving him and seeing him as the ideal of her dreams that she believed him to be when she married him’!

I tell you I am about fed up with a husband who disgusts me by

~ lils slovciiliiiess and fills me with contempt by hla sel- fishness and luck of consideration for my comfort and happiness mid yct expects me to he always charming and amiable.

DISILLUSIONED

ANSWER: ‘Fliers are two answers to your ques-

The first ls, the reason that women make more ‘ effort to be attractive to their husbands and hold their husbands‘ ]O\‘c than men make to kecp their wives fascinalcd is hccause it ls more important to a woman to keep her hﬂlllQ M- gethcr than it is to n man. ’

WOMEN MORE DEPENDENT

\Vlicn n woman gets married she burns hcr bridges behind her land she cannot, as a iicnrirzil thing, go hack tn her former estate, S0 inside from any sentimcntzil roiisiilcrzitlnn, nriy question of love or emotion, it is of practical importance for a woman to preserve her home, which is hcr own and her children's livelihood . This she can do only by retaining hcr husiiaiuFs love, s0 that. she is forced to try to make herself attractive ziiid aiizrcenhle to him.

Thc second answer to your tiucsiion is masculine vanity. The av- erage litishand ncvcr worries his hcad about his wife ceasing to lovo him, because he bclirvc-s hinisclf so suporhumanly attractive, dirty vnr clcun, shorn or unshorii, pressed or impressed, that she cannot help iadorint: him and admiring him. And ho also believes that such are his powers of fascination that shc uili go on loving him no matter how he zibuscs hcr.

In all of which he is, of course, utterly mistaken, Women are far more sensitive to appearances than men are, and if a man ls dis- illusioncd by n slovcnly woman, a Wﬂnlﬂll finds a dirty man a thousand timcs more rcptilslve. Arid if a man falls out of love with a shrcwlsh woman, ho sure that a wife ncitially hates a grouchy husband.

It uould astonish a lot of mcn to know ivhat their wives really think of tlicm.

i DEAR DOROTHY DIX: We have been married fifteen years and iwcrr- unusually happy’ until a year ago when we met a woman whom liiiy husband was zittracicd to, Ilc is about 4O and apparently at the ‘latte when they fall for such women. Now my question i; this; ‘Should I invite her a lnt tn my house and rtive them the opportunity of seeing each riilicr often on the chance that he will lire of her that way or shrill I (liscnntiiiuc lining fflbllllﬁ with her and try to keep him from seeing her? _ _ _ _ TRUE WIFE

ANSWER: l\o wife can keep llUi‘ husband from seeing another wvoninii if he wants t0 scc hcr and the more difficulties she throws in the way, the more determined he is not to be thwarted and the more romantic and adventurous the affair becomes to him.

After a man has lived happily with a woman for fifteen years she has become a habit with him. She has bcconte an integral part of his lifc, and if he has lovcd her that long, the real lo\'e of his heart will always he for her and every other feeling he has for a woman is n passing fancy.

So the thing to do is to get. the passing fancy out of his system as soon as possiblc. And thc wife can do this by making hcr a common- place. cverydziy acquaintance, ivliri is no better looking when her make-up is off than his wife is “llhout licrs, who is a bore when you havc4t0 listen to hcr hy the yard, ulio has just as many little ways as his wife has and who doesn't know how to play up to him as his Wife does.
