found guilty in some instances of
charging little more along certain
lines han foreign concerns. which is
justifiable when all the facts are con.
sidered, but then who are the ones ap

needed? To say you do not need as

trying to "beat the devil around the

the ideal home intact must draw from
the better traits of man. The personal
attractiveness of one woman pals upon
the senses of any one man after Ger

of education and refinement to attempt
competition with those of an unmen-
tionable class. "'The detection in man"

modern society, this referring to So
ciety as expressed in the lives Of the
400 of New York City.
And so after all that is said and
written we come back to the admission
that woman's vocation is that of a
helpmate. Women of the Washburne
stripe, may glory in "mens work, I"
land want more" But ahead Of us is
an inevitable change of sentiment.
This both on the part of our men and
our women. The rapidly increasing
wealth of this country is the main fac
tor in our changed style of living.
This same influence permeates into the
circles of those of moderate incomes,
and the result is q vast increase In
the number of comparatively idle Wom-
en- of today. Out of all this fast pace
and reckless way of life, will come a
better state of affairs. But before the
reaction will be the necessary object
lessons. The present generation is fur
nshing the object lesson.

IOWA FACTORIES.


The need of every city in Iowa is
more factories to employ their popu-
lation. More factories would enlarge
the possibilities of every community.
The farm graduates men and women
into the cities and they find too little
to do. The professions are over crowd
ed and the business houses ply but
scant wages. More factories would
not only employ the over supply of the
present idle population, but would
bring new blood, new families, new
citizens bring prosperity to n any a
community.
Railroads alone will not build up a
state or a commonwealth. The rail-
roads have Disseminated against
manufacturing enterprises in this
state so that Iowa is oversize dowed
Omaha and Chicago, by st. Louis and
Kansas City They have been selfish
in robbing Iowa of her rights in this
matter; they have gluttoniZed them
selves with long hauls on raw mater
ials and finished products and Iowa
sends out only live stock and grain
and pays the high price for ma aufac-
tured products from the favored cities
in the states upon our borders.
More equitable railroad rates will
help such states as Iowa more than
any other, the abolishing of di scrim-
nations will relieve this state of a
handicap that has prevented manu-
featuring plants from f1ourtshtns here.

means bringing the women of this
country into an ornamental class, OBJ
literating the word useful. The Ger
man "huswife" is the other extreme,
but better far for the future of Amer
lea, if our wives and daughters re-
turn i'm practice to home life of Ger
many, than ape the daily life OF the
women of the 400 of New York. That
the men of this country are equally TO
blame for this fast approaching style
of American life goes without saying.
But are the women of this country
ready to be classed with dolls? Are
they satisfied with an existence, con-
sisting of ease, pleasure, dress and the
life that inevitably follows? The di-
yorce court has been referred to in
the Washburne article. This woman

Startling But True.

People the world over We're Mortified
on learning of the burning of Chi
cago theater in which nearly six hun
bred people lost their lives, yet more
than five times this number, or over
5000 people died from pneumonia in
Chicago during the same year, with
scarcely passing notice. Every one
of these cases of pneumonia resulted
from cold and could have been pre-
vented by the timely use Of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy. A great many
who had every reason to fear pneumo-
mia have warded it off by the prompt
use of this remedy. The following is
an instance of this sort: ''Too much
cannot be said in favor of Chamber
lain's Cough Remedy, and especially

OUTSIDE POINT OF VIEW

A few weeks AFRO, a magazine arti-
Gle, written by woman and evidently
by woman with advanced IDEAS"
was freely quoted from in this column.
1t was pointed out by the writer of the
article that really men are encroach-
ing more on the rights and occupa-
tons, i. En- former occupations of Wo-
men, than vice-versa. The closing SEN
fences brings out a still more severe
indictment of man. 1.-THE home is suf-
fering from the detection, age long
detection of man." "Flats and board
ing houses multiply" divorces and
nervous prostration follow, because
man does not stay at home and let
woman go out and get the fresher
air." It's too bad to quote when the
whole text can be given. Here it is:
ut has been pointed out more than
once, and l need not dwell upon it
here, that the higher the ideal of mar
riage the less a woman desires to en-'
ter upon it, or to remain in it, for fl
nancial reasons. Divorces are actual
ly precipitated by the bitterness with
which a high spirited woman resents
her economic dependence upon a man
w
or who no longer loves here, or, in
deed, upon man whom she loves too
we'll to be willing to burden One
may we'll ask whether a divorce got
because woman refuses longer to en-
dure a loveless or ill-assorted mar
riage was not more righteous than
such a marriage endured for the sake
of the money it afforded All these
things go to show that instead of the
business world suffering from the adj
vent of women, it is the home that is
suffering from the age-long detection
of men. If it is true that every oc-
cupation has it's masculine side and
it's feminine side, then it is true of the
domestic occupations as we'll as of
those belonging to the world of BUSH
ness; and it is evident that the home
will suffer from an undue predomi-
nance of one element over the other.
That our homes are not running
smoothly, that flats and boarding
houses multiply, and divorces, and
nervous prostrations, instead of prov
ing that women ought to stay at home
and set things right, may we'll mean
that women need the fresher air and
wider spaces of the business world,
the relief of doing things on a big
scale, the calming effect of working
impersonally."
Here's the admission that our hon.
es are not running smoothly, that
flats and boarding houses multiply,
etc." and the cause is "the age long
detection in man."
1t is difficult to retain one self and
not attack the author of such outrag-
eous doctrines and sentiments. Here's
a woman presumably a woman) writ
ing an article for one Of the "solid"
magazines, which can be fairly claim
ed as expressing the sentiments Of a
large percentage of our educated wo-
men of today. Here is an argument
which. If put into practice, if brought
to realism, leaves the women of today
idlers. 1t means bringing the women
of this country on par with the wo-
men of Turkey. Plus education. 1t

Civ. YOUR Stomach a Rest.

Your food must be properly dfgested
and assimilated to be of any value to
you. If your stomach is weak or dis

stomach a rest, enabling it to recuper-
