Exeter Advocate, 1912-10-31, Page 3Noras AND COMMENTS
A very co plex subject is treat-
ed with silele perfect assurauce by
the correspondent of an eastern
paper that it seems desirable to
pass his positive and irrevocable
judgment along, He is appalled at
the number of married women who
work away from home, and he says:
"Find me the woman whose name
is best keown in the world of music
or letters, and conceding that she
is also .a good wife and mother,
which is rarely the case, and in the
background you will find a nonenity
of a husband who on his own re-
sources could not draw $100 a
month in any capacity whatever. Lf
he could, his wife would not work,
for, in spite of all they say to the
contrary, no woman works because
she wants to, but because she
must,"
Warming to the subject, the in-
dignant writer goes on to say that
the mart who lets his wife become a
wage-earner proves that, he was
geilty of a crime in taking upon
,hineself duties that he eould not
perform, and be adds; "The sooner
people eefuee to inploy in any
aa-
jneity whatever tb-e WOLUarl 'who ac-
knowledges the proteetien of a hus-
band, the fever divorces and un-
happy homes will be found, and the
male 'Parasite will have to go
abroad bo flourish where woman is
regarded as a beast of burden."
Is there, anything to be said
against ouch an uncompromisiug
personl Would he admit a any
eseeptious whetever ? 'Would he
give a ebert term permit if the hus-
band was suffering from some <Bs-
ebility1 He is ee sweeping in hie
assertion blue he knocks all poe-
sible opposition over, and yet it
certainly happens eornetitnes that
when women have, tasted the joys
of an independenb irmenne they are
very loath to give it up.
They may not -work because they
want to, but the ineorne looks good
to them, and they are not able to
resign it without a pang. Possibly
that is vrly o many of them keep
on working, and it is conceivable
that there are cases in which the
male parasite has done nothing to
deserve the withering scorn that is
peered upon him.

In England the development of
the motor omnibus has reached the
stage where it is interfering with
the earnings of street railways. A
decline in the earnings of 113 tram-
way lines of more than $400,00o in
the last six months is ascribed to
the competition of the new vehicles,
the falling off being especially not-
able in London, where the motor
omnibus has Z`oute much into use.
The chief engineer of the Metropelitan Electric Tramways Com-
pany has made public an estimate
shelving- that the motor omnibus an
be operated, at less cost per mile
than •the electric tram -car, while
as regards investment of capital it
has a large advantage. For a five-
minute service he shows an invest-
ment of $105,000 per mile when elec-
tric cars are used and only $20.e0
per mile when motor omnibuses are
used.
A committee of the Birmingham
Chamber of Commerce has advised
the city council to consider "the
probable prospective obsolescence
of the present system of overhead
tramways" and -"the - ,satisfactory
alternative to be obtained by a
motor -omnibus service.'The mo-
tor omnibus, of course, requires no
-expensive investment in tracks, and
it cam operate much more flexibly
in crowded streets. Perhaps the
day is soon coming when it will sup-
plant the trolley car for new lines
in cities, though expensive existing
plants for electric operation pro-
bably will not soon be discarded.

The pineapple is one of the most
wholesome foods that comes to our
tables. Its rich and abundant
juices are very cooling to the blood
and contain a remarkably active
digeetive principle similar to pep-
sin, but, unlike the latter, this
principle will operate in either an
acid, neutral or alkaline medium,
according to the kind of proteid to
which it is presented.
Whether the p-ulp or the juice of
a fresh pineapple is to be used, it
should be thoroughly scalded be-
fore combining it with any such al-
buminoid substance as milk, eggs
or gelatine.
Pineapple is best eaten at the end
of breakfast or as an accoienani-
meat or follower of the meat course
at dinner., when it assists in the di -
gestion of the food.
Pineapples are blessings in the
sickroom. The juice allays thirst
and is nourishing, acting upon the
liver and kidneys beneficially.
The pineapple is a fruit that
grows in popularity with use, and
its flavor is so agreeable that very
few people )132'0 to acquire a taste
for it.
Canned pineapple is only now
beginning to be appreciated. It is
euey to buy, and eeetain reliable
brands are excellent. It usually
mites in three forma — sliced,
crushed and grated.
While emptied peneapple may be
used when the fresh fruit es,naot
be obtained, it is only an inferior
substitute. No matter how dainty
a pineapple is served, it is not quite
equal in ila.vor to the dead -ripe
fruit just picked from the plant.

$t. Matthew vie 34 t—Take no
thought for the morrow.
These words are, of conrse, not
meant to encourage indifference,
imprudence, shiftlessness and sloth,
nor are they meant to forbid a right
use of man's God given powers of
judgment, prudence and foresight.
The Greek word, here translated
"Take DO thought," might in this
context better be rendered, as the
revisers have it, "Be not anxious."
This is in line with sound reason
and with our Lord' e whole attittide
toward mankind, whom he always
endeavored to arouse to the point
of taking some serious thought
abont themselves, their duties,
their problems, their destiny. But,
lest they should overdo Bit counsel
along this line and
"THINK TOO MUCH,"
lest they should, eo to speak, allow
their thought to run to seed and
take the form of anxious Caro About

tion, "Le not anxious concerning

Hints on Sleep.
Nature's sweet restorer—sleep—
is not a thing to be governedby
any set of formal rules. The amount
of sleep required, for instance, de-
pends on the individual's age, con-
stitution and occupation. ceSix
hours' sleep for a man, seven for a
worna,n, and eight for a fool," said
the third George. But, as a mat-
ter of fact, those whose brains are
in exercise, whose nervous systems
are delicate and excitable, need as
much sleep as they can possibly get.
Every woman must discover for
herself whether or not a late sup-
per Stilts her, for what suits some
may be decidedly harmful to others.
I Mental work up to the very Iasi mo-
ment before going to bed is not
good. It may banish sleep, or at
least disturb it. Before retiring a
short interval may be advantage-
ously spent in reading a soothing
and ebeeeing book which demands
no intellectual strain.

12. Sighed—Or, groaned. Jesus
was grieved by the obstinacy ef the
Pharisees, which he knew would
shortly lead to epen hostility and
final separation.
This generation—The Pharisees
were typical representatives of the
religious leadership of their time.
13. To the other side—The loca-
tion of Dalmanutha balite un-
known, it is impossible to deter-
mine whether the eastern or the
western shore is here meant.
Jesus may have crossed the north
or northwest part of the lake in
either direction, proceeding from
the place of landing gradually to-
ward Bethsaida, where, according
to verse 22, he arrived shortly af-
terward.
14. Forgot to take bread—The
duty of securing, the. provisions
needed for the 'journey would de-
volve naturally upon Judas, who
was the treasurer of the apostolic
company. It is quite likely, how-
ever, that some one or two of the
other 'disciples shared -this respon-
sibility with him.
15. Beware of -the leaven --- Jesus
is speaking in figurative language,
referring to the contaminating evil
influenee of the Pharisees and the
courtiers and followers of Herod.
The repetition of the word "lea-
ven" indicates perhaps distinct
kinds of corrupting inlitences em-
anating respectively from the teach-
ing of the Pharisees and the coart
practices of the king.
16. Reasoned One with another—
Debated what the significance of
the Master's words might be.
17. Do ye not yet perceive, nei-

of disappointment to Jesus, after
all his teaching, that they failed 1-0
recognize the truth which his figur-
ative language was ietended to
eonvey. fn Matthew (16.8) it is the
defect of their faith that is em-
phasized.
