place in some fiat designed to furnish
with the least possible expenditure OF
effort the maximum of comfort and OF
luxury, but in which there is literally
no place for children?
The woman who is a good wife, a
good mother, is entitled to our respect
as is no one else; but she is entitled to
it only because and so long as, she is
worthy of it. Effort and self-sacrif1ce
are the law of worthy life for the man
as for the woman: though neither the
effort nor the self-Sac rifice may be the
same for the one as for the other. L
do not in the least believe in the patient
GriSelda type of woman, in the woman
who submits to gross and long contln-
ued i'll treatment, any more than be-
lieVe in man who tamely submits to
wrongful aggression. No WrongdOing
is so abhorrent as wrOngdoing by
man towards the wife and the children
who should arouse every tender feeling
in his nature. SelfiShneSS towards
them. lack of tenderness towards them,
lack of consideration for them, above
ALL brutality in any form towards them
should arouse the heartiest Scorn and
Indignation in every upright soul.
I believe in the WOman's keeping her
self-respect Just as I believe in the
mans doing so. believe IN her rights
lust as much as I believe in the mans,
and indeed a little more; and L regard
marriage as a partnership, in which
each partner is in honor bound to think
of the rights of the other as well as of
his or her own. But I think that the
duties are even more important than
the rights; and in the long run I think
that the reward is ampler and greater
for duty well done, than for the insist
ence upon individual lights, necessary
though this, too, must often be- Your
duty is hard, your responsibility great;
but greatest of all is your reward
do not pity you in the least. On the
contrary, I fe1 respect and admiration
for you.
Into the Woman's keeping is commit
ted the destiny of the generations to
come after US. In bringing up your
children you mothers must remember
that while it is essential to be loving
and tender it is no less essential to be
wise and firm FooliShneSS and affection
must not be treated as interchangeable
terms; and besides training your sons
and daughters in the softer and mllder
virtues you must seek to give them
those stern and hardy qualities which IN
after life they will surely need Some
children will go wrong in spite OF the
hest training; and some will go right
even when their surroundings are most
11nfortunate nevertheless an immense
amount depends upon the family train
ing If you mothers through weakness
bring I'D your sons to be selfish and to
think only of themselves, you Will be
responsible for much sadness among
the women who are to be their wives in
the future If you let your daughters
grow up idle perhaps under the mis-
taken impression that as you yourselves
have had to work hard they shall know
only enjoyment, you are preparing them
to be useless to others and burdens to
themselves Teach boys and girls alike
that they are not to look forward to
lives spent in avoiding difficulties out

exhaustion.

but thousands of just such suffering or
broken-down women are being re-
stored to health and strength every
day by the use of that wonderful dis
covery, DR.. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, the
great kidney, liver and bladder
remedy.
Not only does Swamp-Root bring
new life and activity to the kidneys,
the cause of the trouble. but by
strengthening the kidneys it acts as a
general tonic and food for the entire

The mild and extraordinary effect

wonderful cures of the most distress
ing cases. A trial will convince any
one-and you may have a sample bot

ents themselves have acted on and
have trained their children to act on,
! the selfish and ssordid theory that the
whole end of life is ito taste a few
good things
The intelligence of the remark is on
a par with its morality, for the most
rudimentary mental process would
have shown the speaker that if the
children contained but two children
the nation as a whole would decrease
in population so rapidly that in two
or three generations it would very
deservedly be on the point of extinc-
ton, so that the people who had acted
on this base and selfish doctrine would
be giving place to others with Drawer
and more robust ideals. Nor would
such a result be in any way regret
table; for race that practiced such
doctrine-that is, a race that prac-
ticed race suicide-Would thereby con-
clUsiyely show that it was unfit to ex-
ist, and that it had better give place
to people who had not forgotten the
primary laws of their being.
TO sum up, then, the whole matter
is simple enough. If either a race or
individual prefers the pleasures OF
mere effOrtless ease. of self-indulg-
ence to the infinitely deeper, the in
finitely higher pleasures that come to
those who know the toll and the
wearine Tess, but also the joy, of hard
duty well done, why, that race or that
individual must inevitably in the end
nav the penalty of leading a life both
Varid and iEncble. No man and no
woman really worthy of the name can
care for the life spent solely or chiefly
ii the avoidance of risk and trouble
and labor. Save in exceptional cases
the prizes worth having in life must
be paid for, and the life worth living
must lie life of work for a worthy
end. and ordinarily of work more for
others than for ones self.
The man is but a poor creature
whose effort is not rather for the bet
terment of his wife and children than
for himself; and as for the mother,
her very name stands for loving un-
selhshness and self-abnegation, and,
in any society fit to exist, is fraught
with associations which render it
holy.
The woman's task is not easy-no
task worth doing is easy-but in do
ing it, and when she has done it,
there shall come to her the highest
and hottest joy known to mankind;
and having done it, she shall have the
reward prophesied in Scripture; for
her husband and her children, yes,
and all people who realize that her
work lies at the foundation of all ma
tionai happiness and greatness, shall
rise up and call her blessed.
