William Muldoon. the ex-wrestler, is |
said to have decided that the time has
/ come TO start a sanitarium for women
with broken down nervous systems. It
will be similar to the one already In
/ operation for men. The principal cura-
4 tive agents employed VIII be food OF
/ the simplest kind, plentiful use OF
water. pure air and physical exercise

/ exercise is not TO be the patient herself.

a luxurious lady will find herself put

must rise at In the morning, have O
shower bath and take a brisk walk be-
fore breakfast. which will be of the
simplest kind. After q brief rest fol-

these overfed, undermuscled ladies'
This trainer considers baseball the best
all round exercise for either men or
women patients. The ladies VIII wear
for a uniform while exercising white
shirt waists and white serge boomers.
The rules are as rigid as iron. There
must be no slumping or Sinking of the
energetic exercises prescribed. Not
single luxury will be allowed IN the
way of food, drink or couches After q
time, shorter or longer, the ladies will
be turned out new women ready to
begin all over and run down again by
their system OF artificial living. It is
to be observed that the life laid down
for disabled society women is precise

every woman may lead at home If she

keep the body fit by active exercise Of
all the muscles. Our bodies were all
right at the beginning. We have neg
lected them and let them run down.
So
A woman declares that it spoils a
man for his wife to earn money. That
depends on the man. If he is a real
man, chivalrous and large souled, he
will respect her all the more for max
ing use of her gifts and developing her
own individuality. The husband of a
wife who earns money will himself
work all the harder, If he is real man.
Ebert Hubbard calls poverty in
America a disease of the will. 1t is a
statement worth thinking seriously
about, especially by women.

Speaking of sins and vices, the I'M
pardonable sin is lying, the vice that
makes the most trouble is bad temper,
and the meanest vice is stinginess.
Somebody remarks that smoking
among women is a mere fad of the
! time and will soon pass. This is true,
: certainly on our side Of the water.
American women have not taken gen
orally to the new fad.
One of the strongest and most elo-
quent Of the woman suffragists in Eng
land is a Lancashire factory girl
Annie Kenney. They call her the Joan
Of Arc of the woman cause. She was
; put to work in the mills at ten years
J old and has worked all her life there
as her mother did before her. On hel
deathbed, however, that mother bade
her daughters fight for the rights OF
woman. From the time she was old
enough to think Annie Kenney noticed
= the unjust discrimination against wo
men and girls in the factories and IL
favor of even the boys of her owl
l family as against her and her sisters.
1t is announced that the beautiful
and wealthy Mrs. Potter Palmer hai

= suffrage. If rich society ladies tool
enough interest in their own sex to an
nounce themselves in favor Of legal
civil and industrial rights for women
: those rights would speedily be won.
