STRENGTH TO DEBILITATED AND

1t is maintained by many distinguished
writers that the greatness OF a nation depends
much upon the physical condition of its
women The general conditions which con-
tribute TO health and long life, are those which
do not imply rapid and unequal exhaustion
of those powers by which life is maintained.
While we assert that the women Of our land
stand peerless for beauty and the virtues that
make them lovable, we cannot hide the fact
that there are thousands in our midst who,
owing to overwork, worry, household cares,
and an unequal exhaustion OF life power, have.
become weak, nervous, sleepless, and deblh-
tated.
We bring to the attention of all weary,

with some opinion Of her own

But before any answer could be

AN EXTRA SESSION
The President Considering the AdvIsa
=. H. biIity Of Calling 1t. 81. -

The President Considering the AdvIsa-
= biIity Of Calling 1t. s.. Vi. IS
j, Washington, March 13.-It can be
stated by authority that President Roose-
welt has not yet definitely made up his
mind to call an extraordinary session of
the fifty eighth congress. He, however,
is considering the practicability Of doing
so. When he was informed that it was
the intention of the senate so to amend
the Cuban reciprocity treaty as to render
action upon it by the house of represent
tatives necessary to make it effective, he
informed some members of the senate
that he would hold himself free to call an
extraordinary, session Of the congress in
order to secure action upon it. No def
mite time was mentioned by the president
for the meeting Of the extraordinary ses-
sion.
The president is much in earnest in
his desire to have the Cuban treaty rati-
fed and made effective. It can be said
that so strong is this desire he even has
considered the advisability Of calling the
congress into extraordinary session this
spring if the senate should permit the
Cuban treaty to fail through lack Of a
quorum. That. however, is a contingency
(which he considers improbable. The be-
lief of the president and of his advisors
lis that the senate will take definite action
upon both the Panama canal and Cuban
reciprocity treaties at the present ex-
traordinary session. Assurances to that
effect have been received from the lead
ers Of the senate. The president believes
also it can be said. that this work of the
senate will have been accomplished By
the last of next week.
Further than that the president holds
himself free to call an extraordinary
session OF the fifty eighth congress, moth.
