MR.. BRYAN ON MOTHERS
WHO HAVE EARNED A REST

Mr.. William Jennings Bryan, in the last
issue of the cqmmoner discusses a time
ly subject-that of the need of rest for
mothers, the vacation that they deserve
and should take at this time when recre-
alton trips are being discussed in the
family. Mr.. Bryan truthfully says that
as a rule the wife needs a vacation more
than her husband and he suggests that
this summer would be a good time for a
little sacrifice for mothers sake"
Mr.. Bryan's plea for mothers who have
earned a rest is as follows:
las summer approaches preparation
should be made for a summer vacation.
1t Is a matter of regret that so many are
not able to take such a vacation, and a
matter of still deeper regret that the
member of the family who least needs it,
while those who have best earned 1t, have
no relief from the daily routine of life.
AS rule, the wife needs a vacation
more than the husband, for her life is
more monotonous and is less relieved by
social intercourse. The wife who does
her own work, In whole or in part, finds
work to occupy her time from the rising
hour to the hour of retirement, and 1t is
OF character that wears upon her by
constant and unvarying repetition. The
wife of the laborer, the country mer-
chant, the professional man of moderate
means, and even more, the wife of the
farmer-these need more change and rest
than they usually secure

above the fire. They were quickly aroused
by the first one of them who was awaken
ed by the smoke.
The superintendent and nurses of the
hospital used every effort to prevent
patients and others from reckless flight

dition, but will recover. The flames were
in the middle rear room and If they had
not been quickly subdued would soon
have spread to the entire building.
