seek throughout the length and breadth
of the great, struggling. lighting, daz-
Eling world-the thoughts and hopes of
truest manhood forever turn back TO the
place where wife and children are. Here
IS the goal of all endeavor and the center
of existence.
WHAT WIFE AND CHILDREN MEAN
TO EVERY MAN.
Men of every class and condition in
life look 10 sheir wives and children as
the unfailing source OF inspiration and
cheerfulness. A wounded soldier. home
from the front, is hardly more depend
ent upon Ills tender comfort and good
cheer than is the average man who works
aH day at his desk, or in the shop or
field.
- husband expects his wife TO be the
brightener of his home; 10 tighten his
discourag gements, smooth away his wrink-
les, and smile away his frowns, just as
much as the wounded soldier returning
from the field expects TO be greeted with
loving caresses. Whether right or wrong
10 expect so much attention and petting.
the average husband does expect It and
without it becomes a disappointed man.
A WIFE'S PROBLEM.
But how is a woman who is burdened
with household work and care and with
the constant draft upon her strength that
comes with frequent motherhood, 20 full
MI her whole wifeay duty? How can the
ordinary woman struggling with the ordi-
nary conditions of this work-a-day world
be the ideal housekeeper, wife and mother
all at once?
This is the great problem with which
the women OF America have TO deal; and
when the question has TO be worked out
IN the face Of constant physical wea6-
ness and suffering, no wonder so many
thousand Of women feel that the demands
OF life are greater than they can meet,
p and heavier than they can possibly en-
dure- No wonder they live for weeks and
months plunged in the depths of wretch
edness and dependency.
A woman who suffers inwardly from
some feminine weakness, or disease. is in
q certain sense almost alone in her trou-
BILE; her husband cannot half appreciate
her suffering, no matter how kind-heart-
ed he may be. She hates TO be complaining
all the time. Often she herself may not
realize exactly what the trouble is; and if
the local doctor is called in, he will not
once in dozen times diagnose the trou-
ble correctly.
DoDGING THE QUESTION

heart trouble" or nervousness and
give the usual stereotyped treatment that
is Of no more avail than SO much wa
ter; while all the time the real trouble,
the undermining weakness in the organ
ism distinctly feminine, is draining and
tor%uring the the victims life away un-
checked
After all the poor unhappy woman Is
almost glad that the doctor in his easy
going fashion. fails TO suggest where
the actual trouble lies; for well she
knows that the next step would be the
detestable examinations and local appli-
cations which modest women hold in such
repugnance.
