Place of the CoIIe~e Girl.


Various conjectures as to the part
the educated girl is to play In the So
cial and economic affairs of the new
time have been offered by educators
and sociologists. Not few have ex-
pressed some doubt as to the value of
the higher education to the young
woman who Is to embrace the voca-
ton Of wlfehood and motherhood
Many have not hesitated to question
the utility Of an education that has so
little bearing upon the duties incident
to the ordinary sphere Of womanly ac-
tivlties.
In an address of much force deliv-
cred before the graduating class at
Nassar College Whitelaw Reid defined
the place of the college girl and the
range OF influence which her training
and knowledge may take in the social
and economic world. Outside the i'm
mediate and inestimable effect on the
family, the conservative power of ed.
ucated women, in the opinion of Mr.
Reid, naturally will show its influence
on social life. Their influence will
check the degradation Of social life.

The Work Of Women.

The position of a rich and idle WON
an, bedded in n luxurious home, with
all the arts and crafts ministering to
her personal qualification and the ex-
tension Of her vanity, from body to
dress, from dress to home and furni-
ture, and with all the endless "trip
peries Of display, is one of painful
abnormality. A woman working all
the time in her home is primitive, but
genuine. She represents an early Pc
Rod Of development, it is true, but one
of use and beauty and righteousness
in its time. A woman who works
neither in the house nor out of it. who
greedily accepts all that human labor
and human wisdom and human skill
can do for her, and who does nothing
In return for any human creature-this
pitiable being can only be regarded as
morbid by-product of the home. She
does not make the home, she does not
pay for it, she does not serve, and she
has no vital use or place either in the
home or in the world; yet she is, in her
way, an inevitable result of too much
home-Just as toiling, narrow-minded
drudge is another.-Charlott Perkins
Gilman in Success.

Cure for Headache.

Headache is perhaps the most com
mon ailment mortal flesh is heir to.
very simple remedy, often found
to relieve the most violent headache is
this: Take a small quantity of black
pepper and put 1t in a piece of fine
linen, then fold over so the grains will
not fall out and wet the whole band
age with camphor. Place it across the
head and lie down on your back. The
pain will have ceased in very short
space of time and the patient will fall
asleep. When the camphor dries out
of the linen, If not relieved, saturate
it again. A mixture of ice and salt in
proportion of one to one-half tied I'D
In linen cloth and held to the head
Will often give relief. For sick head
ache take a glass two-thlrds full of
finely shaved ice. the juice of one LEM
on and a teaspoon of sugar. This mix
ture, eaten slowly, will allay feverish
thirst and quiet the disturbed stom-
ach. Bilious headache may often be
relieved by drinking two teaspoonfuls
Of finely powdered charcoal dissolved
in half a glass of water. A powder
should be taken one hour later.

Many people who have been unfortu
nate enough to have much to do with
doctors will join with President Draper
in his lament over the passing of the
family doctor" Many of them will
also indorse his very candid and caus-
Tie criticism of the slovenly, rude and
discourteous members of the profess
sion, and no one will dissent from his
statement that "the scientific knowl-
edge and the mission of the doctor of
medicine should combine to make him
the best exemplar in society of phys
ical, intellectual and moral cleanll-
ness" What DR.. Draper said to the
graduates of the College of Physicians
and Surgeons In Chicago concerning
the passing of the family doctor, how
ever, will attract widest attention be-
cause of the close relation he has sus.
tanned to thousands of families in the
past. 1t is true that that benignant
and gentle personality-always the eX-
emplar of the highest ideals of citizen
ship in his community-is not yet eX-
tinct He Is ministering to the az.
tilcted In many hamlet and town
He Is still the welcome comforter in
distress and the valued counselor in
trouble He Is the father confessor'
of many a human heart, admitted ID
| the most sacred recesses OF human
feeling, hope and fear. But we arc
| in AN age of specialization, when the
| greatest progress in medicine, as wei
as in other lines of scientific endeaY
or, is made by the specialist who de
votes his life to the study of par
ticuar branch of his profession. 1t il
only through this specialization tina
the "hideous laundering and uncertain
ty' of which DIR. Draper complains il
the practice of medicine may be avert
ed. The growth of this specialization
which crowds out the family doctor
naturally tends toward commerciallsm
as DR.. Draper says. The city special
list is not apt to have all the gentl
and sympathetic attributes that endca
to us the family doctor. He does no
sustain such intimate relations to In
family life. And yet we cannot &c
along without him. He knows NOR
about pulmonary diseases, If that is hi
speciality, than does the family pra(
titioner in the country. Much as w
value the visitation and counsel of tn
family doctor the specialist Is an eN
olution Of our scientific progress who's
services are Indispensable in certal

l would not try to make every boy
farmer, or every girl a farmers
WIFE but it does seem to me that we
should impress upon the children that,
while the opportunities to make great
fortunes will not often open to them
on the farm, there are less failures
among those engaged in our business
than any other, When we read eulo-
gies on the captains of industry, who
have accumulated fortunes in mining,
commerce and manufacturing, we do
not hear of the poor miserable priyates
who have fallen by the waysiie, Gnln-
cial, moral and physical wrecks.
DO not teach the children that Ilfe's
pathway is strewn with thorns and
brambles in all directions. Too much
teaching has already gone forth, and
the masses are pushing, crushing, surg
ing and jostling against each other
even 10 madness and destruction. Stu
in all this Wild rush, we occasionally
see individuals who are quietly and
gently, with n pleasant word and
smile, making their way through the
seething mass OF humanity, almost
without disturbing 1t, and reaching IN,
desired goal, AS sorrow and weeping
may endure for the night, but JOY

Heat exhaustion, says trained
nurse, is very different thing from
sunstrOke. In fact, its symptoms are
directly opposite from those of sun
stroke. In heat exhaustion the skin
is cold and clammy and the tempera-
ture is sub-normal. The patient often
loses consciousness and looks deathly
pale. The condition is not as serious
as sunstroke, but ii is dangerous, and
should receive great care. If at any
time during the hot season one feels
weak, with indistlnct vision and dis
turbed mind; If there is ringing In
the ears and a sense of prostration, it
is time to stop work and seek medical
attention. Aromatic spirits of am
mon!a, teaspoonful in wineglass
of hot water, is good remedy to take
before the doctor comes. Black coffee
IS another good stimulant. \ cod wet
cloth may be applied to the head and
a hot water bottle TO the feet.-phila-

An then We find our troubles ies'


There Is n popular delusion to the
effect that household tasks require
slipshod garments and unkempt hair
Let the frowsy ones contemplate the
trained nurse, and in her spotless uni
form, with her snowy cap and apron
and her shining hair. Let the doubt
ing ones go to a cooking school and see
a neat young woman in blue ging-
ham gown and a white apron prepare
an eight-course dinner and emerge
spotless from the ordeal One who
cleans is to be considered the directing
force rather than the rag, ard it is not
essential to assume intimate personal
possession Of foreign substances.
The woman who puts on an apron
over her dressing sack by that act
openly proclaims that the thing would
be better IL it was belted in. Then
why not shlrt-waist? Does one ever
see trained nurse in dressing sack,
even when she does heavier work than
any other woman Is ever called upon
to do? If woman In the uniform OF
a trained nurse can do the manifold
things assigned to her calling, surely
the laundress and the cook do not need
dressing sack.
There Is cynical adage which runs
thus: strangers for help, friends for
advice and relatives for nothing" Few
Of us will be bold enough to say there
is no truth in it, and the reason is not
far to seek. Who should help us If not
those who always see our best side?
| Strangers think us charming friends
admit, but pardon, our faults, and rel
atlves fight with us.
We make our houses spotless for a
stranger, but friends can take us as we
are. For the new acquaintance there
Is purple and fine linen, while we offer
our friends cold potatoes and remnants
of pie. The solid silver and dainty
embroideries are put away for the
stranger, while ones husband who, IN
a way, is a relative by marriage, eats
left-overs out of nicked dishes and con
templates a dressing sack between
outhfuls.-Myrtle Reed, in the Pill

The report from Sofia that the Mace

plague II its demands are not con-

is something so fiendlsh in the bare

hard TO fancy any state of savagery
That would put 1t into operation. And
yet who can place bounds to unbrldled
human passions? The pages of history
are blackened by atrocities almost as
inhuman as fighting with the germs of
