article that the professional woman show that woman has entered into con- petition in practically all the callings and occupations of men, and in indus try, at any rate. her emancipation" Is now complete. Yet, according to Mrs. Newell, 'she has not made good" She has disappointed her champions It seems that she cannot stand alone, successful unanxious, upon her own work" Almost nowhere in high places do we find women, and now, as in the pre-emancipation era, linen are the great fnanciers, cooks, teachers, man. agers." The indictment is sweeping and supported by few facts. What Is the writer's test of success? Freedom from anxiety? h that case few men succeed. The occupation of high placesf There are few such places in any call ing and only a few can reach them. The great majority of men must needs be satisfied with modest work and mod est measures of success. Have women failed as physicians and surgeons, as managers of hospitals and clinics and sanitariums7 Certainly not In the medical profession women stand very high, though they have had nothing but men and most women. In teaching men have almost been superseded by wom- en, and the latter are not regarded as failures in education even by those who would like to See an increase in the number of men in that profession. In letters, in the fine arts, in the thea ter, on the opera and concert stage women are succeeding marvelously. It is unnecessary to name the great won- en singers, the great actresses, the pianists and violinists of the fair sex. It would be equally superfluous to make list of women novelists, essay lsts, poets, critics, etc. To say that the women have no Shakespeare or Beetho- ven or Michael Angelo among them is to repeat an oyerworked and hack neyed argument that proves nothing or too much. How many men of such genius have there been in history :? Have women had sufficient time and opportunity to demonstrate that first rate work is beyond their powers? Mrs. Newell herself says that "if brilliant women got half the mental assistance from husbands and brothers that many men get from wives and sisters" 1t Is probable that she would be called upon to dwell on their succesa What, then, becomes Of the assertion that the pro fessional woman has failed to make good?

seam, where the wound was sewed up Is pressing outward. This affects the sensatory nerves, causing what is known as pain. The nerves, unused to the new conditions telegraph the sen. sations to the brain in the only terms to which they have been accustomed A nerve down there in the stump gives the signal to the brain. That particu- lar signal used to mean cramps In the toes,' and the brain so translates 1t Then there comes another signal which used to mean rheumatism in the knee, and as rheumatism in the knee the brain gives out the news.
 Ultimately, the doctor says, the nerves will become accustomed to the new conditions and invent a new cipher code for communication with the brain or else the brain will learn to translate the old signals differently. But mean time, and for some time yet, I shall feel all the aches and pains in the leg I have not got that I could possibly feel in the one they have left me There, by George, I felt a pain just then as If there was a corn hurting me on the little toe of my right foot !"- New York Press.

For reasons that have been discussed thousands of times and perhaps for thousands of years without reaching a satisfactory conclusion men who are honest in all other business relations will cheat in taxes of any and all kinds. The municipality, the State and the nation, real and personal estate, tariff and internal leyies, all are clipped of their fair proportions by men whom their closest friends implicitly trust. The suggestion that comes nearest to an explanation of the all-pervading idea that 1t is permissible in an honest man to cheat the government is that 1t Is natural to regard the individual in a very different light from that in which an organization of individuals is viewed. Just as a soldier who would hesitate to shoot a single soldier of the enemy's force unless compelled to do so by peril of life will cheerfully fire at a line of battle, so a man who sa. credly respects individual property rights will cheat his government.

Camphor to Break Up . Cold.

One of the most efficient remedies for breaking up a cold during Its earliest stage is camphor. When the eyes be- gin to water and there is accompanying tingling of the nose and feeling of chill Illness, place three drops of camphor on lump of loaf sugar and place the sug- ar in the mouth.
 Repeat this every fifteen minutes till four or five doses have been taken. At the same time place the feet where they will become thoroughly warm. This will usually prove effectual in breaking up a cold If the cold is taken at the very beginning. For child but one drop should be placed upon the sugar, and five or six doses administered Health

 His right leg had been recently am putated, leaving only stump, and one of his friends, with rather ill-judged levity, remarked: Well, anyway, you won't be bothered now with corns on your right foot"
 ''No," replied the maimed one, but do you know, I am bothered a great deal with what feels like rheumatism In my right knee and the toes of my right foot"
