HEREDITY
CAN BE OVERCOME IN CASES.

The influence of heredity cannot, of course be
successfully disputed, but 1t be minimized or
entirely overcome in some cases by correct food
and drink. Connecticut lady says:
For years while 1 a coffee drinker 1 suf-
fered from bilious attacks of great severity from
which l used to emerge as white a ghost and
very weak. Our family physician gave me various
prescriptions for improving the digestion and stimu
lating the liver, which tried faithfully but with
out perceptibe result. He was acquainted with
my family history for several generations back
and once when visited him he said: II you have
inherited one of those torpid lvers you may al
ways suffer more less from its inaction We
can't dodge our inheritance. you know
II not strong believer in heredity as he
was however and beginning to think for myself
concluded to stop drinking coffee and see what
effect that would have. l feared 1t would be
severe trial to give 1t up, but when took Postum
and had 1t well made it completely filled my need
for hot beverage, and grew very fond of it.
~ have used the Postum Coffee for three years
using medicine and the change has completely
cured me. During all that time / have had abso
lutely Of the bilious attacks that used to
suier FROM and have been entirely free from the
pain and facilitating effects that used to result
from them. The change is surely very great and
credit for IT." Name given by Postum Co., Bat

To Chloroform Unfit Husbands.

From the New York World.
Women are properly retalating against
masculine criticism of their family conduct
In the discussions of the size of the family
and the healthiness and intelligence of chill
dren the masculine critics seem to forget
that child has two parents, and that the
mother is not solely responsible for either
the number of the children or the WORTH
ness of her offspring. Mrs. Grannis oppor-
timely calls attention to the responsibilities
of fatherhood, and she insists that the
chloroforming of unfit men would do quite
as much to improve the breed of children as
the lecturing of mothers. She advocates in
creasing the responsibilities of fathers and
holding them rigidly responsible for their
children. 1t is disputed question whether
the instinct of paternity or the instinct of
maternity is always the stronger, but there
is no doubt that in the present social order
the father can much more easily evade his
responsibilities than can the mother. The
law enables the father of the child to COM
mute his responsibility in money, while
neither the law nor maternal instinct per-
mits the mother to evade so easily that
direct maternal care which more than any,
thing else determines the childs future
course. In the discussion of race suicide
and social order the women have a good
case for retaliation against the masculine
criticisms.

Day Nurseries.

To the Editor of The Evening Star:
Washington's greatest and most urgent
need is the establishment of a system of
day nurseries, where little children can be
cared for during the day, thus allowing the
maintainers to go out and work for their
support. This would also enable the par
various churches. 1t would also give the
earliest possible opportunity for the moral
training to a class of little ones sadly neg
lected in this respect. Better domestic SER
vice would no doubt be another result, be-
cause mothers and sisters, who are now kept
at home, could secure regular service
places, thus in a measure removing the
stigma of pauperism, for the truest and
best charity is to help others to help them
selves. Our beautiful city has its monu-
mentS in every quarter to perpetuate the
memory of its great men and women. What
more fitting than to erect these day nur-
series in memorial to Him who said, 'Suf-
fer little children to come unto me-" There
is scarcely a church whose mellowed and
hallowed light is not shed through me-
mortal windows. Why not rear a memorial
structure where the light of the gospel of
the loving Savior shall shed its light into
the hearts of these little children?
May we not appeal to the homes in which
there Is every luxury, yet lacking the one
thing, without which a home is not COM
plete, a child. Oh, hearts that are lonely,
and arms that are empty. in memory of
those loved ones, bring your offerings
How many rescue saving stations have
been erected to the memory of little Flor
ence CrttentOn?
Whose old arm chair or empty cradle will
help lay the corner stone of our day nur-
series? FANNIE w. GRESHAM.

Buses Aloofness,
rom the London Chronicle

From the London Chronicle.
Signora Duse is in Paris, rejecting all the
uses of advertisement. A simple announce
ment of her performances drew great
crowds to the booking offices. but it is sug-
gested that the public curiosity has been
stimulated by her inviolable privacy. She
has shut herself up in her hotel and fatty
refused to see anybody. Interviewers
knock desperately at her door, but it opens
not. When she goes out yelled phantom
pldes into the lift and vanishes swiftly.
THAT is ALL says one awe-struck scribe
THAT is Madame Elonora Duse, shrink
ing from the touch of life" What a pic
ture it would make, that scene on the
stairs, when the phantom passes from her
room through the silent, wondering crowd
of reporters, who have not courage even
to utter applications! No cosy chats
with Elonora Duse! Well perhaps the
diffidence of some phantoms is the best ad-
vertisement after all. Who would be in
terested in ghosts If they were always af-
fable and loquacious?
