The "Silence Cure. y

Some noble and deep thinking ply.
stefan has discovered what he calls
the silence cure" for all diseases Of
the nerves. To apply the cure, "all
that is necessary is for the woman
to sit apart for an hour each day, in
absolute silence. Husbands who have
been able to try this cure report great
benefit, but, of course, it is very hard
upon the ladies'. Only the self-sacrific.
ing devotion of wife, who places her
husbands welfare above everything
would be capable of carrying out the
terms of this cure, aud it is an ordeal
that cannot but be injurious to them
II persisted in. So far, there have
been no explosions, but suppressed
conversation is very dangerous, and
at any time we may expect to hear
of such an accident, wrecking the
home and manning the family. Whilst
the silence cure" is undoubtedly OF
benefit to the patient, says the st.
Louis Globe-Democrat It is attended
with such grave menaces that it is
doubtful IL it ever become popular.
Our native chivalry would cause us
to refuse to take advantage of 1t. We
would prefer to go on having our
nerves frazzled, rather than have our
devoted wives and mothers make this
heroic sacrifice. And, after all, there
are other means, answering the same
end, and safer. There is the "vaca
ton cure" A man takes the "vaca.
ton cure" by sending her home to
see her folks. 1t is expensive, but
safe. And 1t does not entail suffer.

Shelter Tents.

There is probability of the Aus
tralian military authorities encourag-
ing the manufacture or importation
Of shelter tents, as used in Japan dur
ing the late war. The tent consists
Of a waterproof sheet with hooks and
eyelets, the weight being trifling.
Each Japanese soldier carries one of
these sheets in his kit, and any num-
Der of them can be laced together,
the custom being for four men to
form bivouac. Arms are piled in
the usual way and the sheets are
spread over the pile weapons, afford
ing shelter from both heat and rain
They can be utilized in many ways
for sheltering the soldiers.

The Things We Eat.

Too much meat is absolutely hurt
full to the body. Sailors on board Of
ships get scurvy when their supply of
vegetable food is exhausted. The di-
gestive organs of the human body de-
mand vegetable food, and if we don't
eat enough vegetables we pay for it
dearly.
Nature gave us wheat, and in every
kernel of wheat nature has distrib-
uted iron, starch, phosphorus, lime,
sugar, salt and other elements neces-
sary to make bone. blood and muscle.
EGG-O-SEE is wheat scientifically
prepared. Cooked, and made into
crisp flakes, EGG-O-SEE goes into the
stomach ready for the digestive or
gans to convert 1t into life-giving sub
stances with but little effort.
EGG-O-SEE eaters are a clean-eyed,
strong and happy lot. The proof of a
pudding and the proof of EGG-O- SEE
Is in the eating. EGG-O-SEE besides
being solid nourishment is most pal
atable. Every mouthful is a joy to
the taste and direct benefit to your
health. A 10-cent package of EGG-O-
SEE contains ten liberal breakfasts.
Our friends advertise us. They eat
EGG-O-SEE for a while. They grow
strong. They are well and happy and
.hov pass the good word along.
Next time you send to the grocer's
tell your boy or girl to bring home a
Iachsge of EGG-O-SEE. Have your
children eat EGG-O-SEE. 1t is their
friend. They'll eat EGG-O-SEE when
nothing else will taste good.
You try EGG-o-SEE and you can
deduct the cost from your doctors
bills.
We send our book, Back to Nature"
free. It's good bookful of plain,
good. common sense. II you want a
copy, address EGG-O-SEE Company.

She derived a small income from the
rent of two cottages near the church;
for the rest she did fine needlework
for such of the well-to-do as were too
conservative to use machine-stitched

Feminism in France.


TIE prediction of the countess OF
Aberdeen made at the International
Council of Women in Paris, that the
French woman will be the first to
obtain the vote upon any large scale
may well have caused surprise among
the British, German and American
delegates. American writer's upon
the woman question" have often
fallen back upon two absurdities: the
first, that Tacitus described the Ger
mans whom the Romans fought as
paying special Difference to their
women; the second, that "the French
have no word for home Add to this
the misapprehensions of a five-weeks
tripper seeing Paris by night and
a hasty observation on the Sale law
and you have the genesis of an I'm
preston of the position of women in
France which is as prevalent as 1t Is
preposterous. The fact is that Ia
citus' observations would have APP
piled quite as well to the Franks as
W OluGI carly lOl lllDCOs Niht
the French get along very well with
the word home" so long as they have
the thing; that French family life is
at it's best of almost ideal beauty,
and that their sticking so long to the
Salic law was one of the blunders of
the Bourbons which does not in any
case affect opinion of the republic.
Since the revolution in France many
things have changed. For one thing,
the waste of men in war has famil-
iariZed women with varied industry
and with the management of estates
and business establishments as in
perhaps no other country The
French family council system re-
tains for a woman not only the re-
spect of her grown son, but "ven a
considerable measure of legal control
over him long after English and
American law would emancipate him.
He canont even marry without his
parents consent. In hundred ways,
says the New York World, France is
the country of the married woman.
That young girls are still carefully
watched and secluded is of minor i'm
portance. The system works not bad.
ly. There may even be lands where
daughters have too much freedom and
power for their own good and where
mothers are too meek. The growth
of "feminisme" in France of recent
years has been rapid. 1t compelled
the institution of a divorce law.
Woman suffrage is a cardinal tenet
in socialism. which has nowhere more
power In actual government than 1t
has attained in France. In Russia,
which is largely dominated by French
thought, the douma has declared for
the woman's vote. American woman
suffragists were for years divided into
two bitter hostile factions on the ques.
ton whether to work with the public
in the several states or to appeal di-
rect to congress. The French fem.
mist adopts the latter course with.
out hesitation. According to the
countess of Aberdeen, she has COM
menced by trying to convince the leg
islator instead of the public. 1t is a
method well adapted to France, where
abstract ideas have always had
fascination for public men.

Chicago, Oct. 27.-The railroads
have informed Grand Master Hawley
Of the Switchmen's union that the de-

day and an increase in wages would
be refused. The offer Of an increase
Of 2 cents an hour, which the railroads
have already made to the switchmen,
was repeated, but the men were told
that this would be all that could be
obtained.
The refusal Of the demands Of the
switchmen was also made to apply to
all other organizations Of railroad en-
ployes which have Of late presented
demands for shorter hours or In
creased wages. It was made clear in
the reply to the switohmen that the
requests Of the Brotherhood Of Rail-
way Trainmen, to which reply was
asked by Nov. /, will be refused.
Grand Master Hawley has called
meeting of the switchmen, but no
strike action will be taken until ref
