The National Academy of Medicine has
elected DIR. Helen c. Putnam PRESIDENT.
Her election Is said to have been the result
of faithful work and not Of wire pulling.
At the recent meeting Of the American
Medical association in Chicago DR.. J~uettner
Of Cincinnati read a paper in which he
made the assertion that "a woman has no
right to enter any occupation excepting
domestic service, nursing, teaching and
kindred vocations. Matrimony is the bet
ter paid and the easiest occupation. Mar
riage is simply blocked by the employment
of young girls" DR.. Putnam replied by de-
claring that every woman has the right
TO develop her best faculties, to become
educated and to enter the business field,
where she meets many men, where she
can select intelligently the father for her
children. Women who have had experience
in business have learned that the making
of a home requires something more than
made by this speech has much to do with
the election of DR.. Putnam as president
of the National Academy Of Medicine.

HOW | TOOK MY

TOMMY TALBOT'S FOURTH.

"See there!" said Tommy Talbot. Twas
the night before the Fourth,
And he had placed around his little bed
The morrow's ammunition, that his eyes
might first behold
His treasures when he reused his sleepy
head. ssaa
"See there! See those torpedoes! See
Il those cannon crackers, too
And see those rockets! Aren't those
pinwheels gay?
0 my! What fun I'm going to have!
How Jolly it would be
If every day were Independence Day!
80 dear!" groaned Tommy Talbot. Twas
July the Fourth, and night,
And tired Tommy tlImbled into bed.
He walked most pitifully lame, his cheeks
were powder-stained;
A bandage covered quite his curly head.
"I've had glorious time" he sighed, "but
how those burns do ache!
Perhaps the present is the better way,
For if the Fourth came oftener, Pm afraid
there wouldn'C be
Enough boys left to celebrate the dav."
