The Neighborly Gamps. I took six treatments (hypodermlo injections) from the doctor for anemia and chlorosis. I gained so rapidly that I discontinued the treatments, althogh he had advised twelve. Some neighbors tell mo that if I do not take twelve each year for three years I am likely to go insano when I get older. Please tell me it this is true, as I am worried.

arte. FRIDAY Beginncrs Class Reception SATURDAY rand Reception uch DANCE By WILLIAM Perfect eyesight is practically unknown to occulists. Nearly every human eye Jit least in the civilized world, is in one way or another defective. One may have very defective vision, yet experience no symptoms from it, provided one's goneral hygiene is good and one happens to be in good physical condition. But when the condition is impaired from any cause, say a Beige of illness, then the defective vision is likely to tell on one, and for this reason it is unwise for convalescents to read in bed.

Many individuals have displacements of organs without suffering any symptoms or ill consequences. Sagging of the stomach or a floating kidney or a displace womb usually causes no symptoms, provided the patient is not informed of the displacement. But let such an individual get run down by bad hygiene or by a Ford or something, and then the displacement may begin to give trouble. Specialists see life through glasses of their own. The surgeon sees things red, the neuralaglst sees blue, and so on An oeculist conceived eyestrain as a possible cause of epilepsy, and he was given carte blanch in a great colony for epileptics.

He spent much time accurately measure irvg vision and fitting glasses to a large number of patients. Something like ninety nine of them continued with their epilepsy unchanged after proper glasses had been fitted, and one patient immediately ceased having seizures and had no more for many months. One day he broke his glasses and shortly afterward had his first seizure. New glasses were obtained and he had no more seizures. In his case, obviously, the removal of the eyestrain removed the epilepsy one out of a hundred.

That eyestrain often causes headaches everybody knows, but eyestrain certainly does not cause more than one in one hundred headaches. It might seem, at first blush, ridiculous to ascribe to eyestrain such eymptoms as spastic or obstinate constipation, hyperchlorhydria (excessive avid secretion in stomach), underweight, cold hands and cold feet excessive secretion of saliva in the mouth, pollakiurla (so called irritable bladder, too frequent evacuation of bladder), colic, and many other symptoms. Yet it is not unusual to see such symptoms disappear permanently after the patient puts on glasses, especially In persons under the age of forty. In order to obtain such hapny effects from glasses, however. It is indispensable ow mi rl AT ANNIVERSARY Captain Annie E.

and gossip and scandal mongering tnat goes on among women, and that blasts reputations and ruins lives, is only the Inevitable result of women having nothing that is big enougn ana vital enough to absorb their thoughts; If doctors were honest enough to make a true diagnosis of what ails ninety per cent of their feminine patients they would tell them that it is idleness and prescribe work as a cure. Give a woman nothing to do and she starts exploring her system for symptoms of disease and she finds every affliction known to the science of medicine. In roof of this, reflect that it la not the mothers of seven babies and who have to do their own coking, washing and ironing, who acquire nervous prostration, but ladies who ride around in limousines and have maids that hand them their Pomeranian ups. Also reflect upon the number of invalid ladies you have known cured by having their hus t)anci3 die, and having had to rise from their couches and roll up their sleeves and go to work to support the family' Idtenea fsjp also the real co responderk'v the great majority of divorce casw. Give a woman plenty of money and nothing more interesting to do han to buy clothes, and haunt beauty shops, and you give her a first class ticket to perdition.

She's all dotted up, and she has to go somewhere to show off her finery, and she got to have somebody to admire sr. and the somebody's got to be lan. Husband is too busy making money to pay for her idleness to notice what she's got on, or to pay her compliments, and so wife starts out on a still hunt for somebody who will. And she finds him in some lounge lizard, or long haired aesthetic, who is perfectly willing to pay for being fed, and driven about in her car, by telling her how misunderstood and unappreciated she is, and what a sordid chump she is married to. They ignore the fact that women have any Intelligence or any energy, and that the Individual with brains and energy must be given a worthy object upon which to expend them, or else he or she will find an unworthy one.

Yet, in spite of all this, the great majority of people continue to believe that Idleness is the ideal state for women, and men keep on working themselves to death so that their wives and daughters may have nothing to do but to sit on a silk cushion and sew up a seam, and feed upon strawberries, sugar and cream. That men should sacrifice themselves to do their womenklnd the greatest harm they could possibly do them, is one of the most pitiful mistakes that the world has ever seen in all the history of blundering altruism, Tou need no better proof of this than to see how much healthier, how much. happier, how much more alert the working woman is than the idle one, "I thought she looked so alive," says the envious rich, fine lady of the typist of onof Barrie's subtle plays. And it's true. The woman who works is alive; She's up on her tiptoes.

She's full of fresh ideas, new thoughts, bubbling over with hope and enthusiasm. She doesn't have to fill in endless day3 with make believe, tasks such as punching holes In cloth to rill them up again, or crocheting borders on wash rags. She's doing constructive work that Is worth while, that means something and gets somewhere. She has a definite goal to her ambition, and it puts pep and ginger In her days and a Bong in her heart. Work Is the panacea for broken hearts, for ill health, for every thing that ails you, and it affects the feminine constitution precisely like it does the male, and when men realize this; and instead of trying to protect their sinters and daughters from having to earn their own support, they get them a good job, the millenium will be in sight.

One 'of the moat curious things in world is that we have believed so long a time that there were varieties of human nature, masculine human nature and feminine human nature, instead of realizing that all human nature is cut off the same bolt of cloth, and is precisely the same warp and woof.

This fallacious theory has made us think that what was sauce for the goose was not cause for, the gander, that men and women were diversely affected by the some influence and reacted different' to the same situation. Thus we have held that work was blessing to a man and a curse to woman. We have realized that the devil invariably finds work for Idle masculine hands to do, but we have a like faith that idle feminine hands did noting but lie, white and Innocent, in feminine laps We have not failed to observe that weakens every fiber of a man's moral nature for him not to earn his bread and butter by the sweat his brow, but we, have fatuously expected a woman to grow fine, lovelv and engelic on parasitism. Of course these' miracles never happen, but we have gone on believing in them Just the same, in spite of the fact that women have been the curse of the world, that practically every feminine is the direct result of women not having any legitimate object upon which to bestow their energies. The nosey old maid, whose curiosity makes her pry into every one's private affairs, is nothing but woman who has so little to do, so few interests in her own life, she has to graft upon the lives her neighbors.
