The new education of women has buried
the martyred woman of the past, whether
voluntary or involuntary victim. and the
selfshly absorbed woman of the present.

women new turns In the onward paths Of

The new education of women is investi-
eating by physiology and chemistry, the
kinds of foods best adapted to physical
and mental nourishment, without contrib
uting to the support and development of
baser appetites. 1t Is admitted by eminent
authority that much of the wickedness
unfortunately observed in newly rich fam
lilies, is positively due to the excessive in
dulgences of the table. where stimulating
foods as well as drinks are too lavshly
used. 1t is begun with the children. and
before maturity appetites crave highly
stimulating foods. To permit the young
the use of tea and coffee, belpre adult age,
is one Of the most certain ways of excit-
ing the desire for something stronger to
drink after the long use of tea and coffee
fail to stimulate. This added to full meat
very hard to control. Do you say this
does not apply to the economic tables of
Ellsworth? In a certain sense it does.

only by the craving for stimulants, but In
