ABOUT DIVORCE
Prominent Members of Club
Are Candid Upon Question
of Sex Relation
DR.. Buteau Discusses Serious
Problem From Viewpoint
of a Physician

ALAMEDA, Aug. 20.-"Divorce Is NOR
phine administered to quiet the pangs
of diseased social conditions said DR..
ii. 5. Buteau, one of the leading physi-
clans OF Oakland, in an address deliv-
cred at divorce symposium held by
the Unitarian club of this city last
night. The Unitarian club is one of the
most influential mems organizations
about the bay and the meeting was
held in order that the members might
hear a straight from the shoulder dis
cussion OF the vital problems of sex
relation from the lips of physicians,
clergymen and laymen.
The speakers united in the opinion
that the question of sex relations
should be taken up primarily in the
home and also In the schools. Those
who took part in the discussions were
DR.. Buteau, DR. E. M Keys, DR.. F. w.
d d'Evelyn; Rev Clarence Reed, pastor
of the Unitarian church of Alameda,
DR.. w. o. Smith, 3. c. Brown and II.
Hauch. Rev. Mr. Reed advocated the
establishment of a. class in the high
school for instruction in sex relation
ship. He suggested that the class be
addressed by prominent physicians, who
could speak freely to their hearers on
subjects that are too often covered by
false modesty
Dr. buteauS s subject WAS DIVORCES
Some Causes and Treatments, From the
Viewpoint of Physician" He said in
part:
The rearing OF children requires a mental quail
iication OF the mother, peculiarly her own. Let
us condemn and rebel against that college course
which represents an endless antagonism between
brain growth and body growth. The time Is
coming when these facts must be recognized. for
the very well being and happiness of our homes
demand It. With wholesome educational sys-
TEN, kind nature, rather than the expensive
dress maker. will provide our women with the
organs necessary both to beauty and maternity,
and thereby enhance a thousand times their at
tractiveness. though they be not quite so intel
lectuai.

Declare war on the house fly. Not u
single mark can be scored TO his credit,
and he is capable of doing all sorts
of harm. Scientists have counted l0O,-
900 disease bearing bacteria on the legs
of one of these insects. They have
caught flies in houses where there
were typhoid fever patients and found
the deadly germs of that disease thick
on their legs. Wherever flies alight
they leave batch Of bacteria. IT they
crawl over food, especially raw meat,
or fall into milk they afford direct
means Of transmission Of germs to hui
man beings, and 1t has been demon
strated that where flies are thickest ty-
phoid fever Is most prevalent. Once a
man exposed plates of gelatine where
flies could walk upon them. Forty
eight hours later under the microscope
he found a clearly recorded track OF the
footprint of the flies written in ciumps
Of bacilli sown by their feet. -.
The chief sanitary objection to fly
is that he won't wipe his feet. He
thinks nothing of walking over pile
oftyphoid refuse and then flying else
where 10 alight probably on the very
food on.your plate. Az he cannot be
taught TO wipe his feet the best thing
to do is TO bar him from the house, keep
all food closely screened and allow no
dirt or filth to collect about our prem
ises.
