THE WOMAN WITH THE DISH RAG.
By EDWIN A. NYE.
Copyright. 1908. by Edwin A. Nye

Do you know what is the most dan.
gerous occupation in the world?
1t may surprise you to learn that il
is the occupation of housekeeping. Sc
says DR.. Dickinson of Chicago, an au
thority In statistical studies. These
are some of the dangers the house
keeper faces every day:
Death by scalding.
By gasoline or gas explosions.
BY falling down dark stairways.
BY heat prostration.
BY insanitary sewerage
BY exhausting drudgery.
BY suicide caused by the hopeless
ness of daily routine
These are not fanciful dangers
Each of them has its frightful stats
tics Of fatality. at the battle of San.
tiago, of 10000 soldiers, 300 were killed
"a death rate of three-tenths of 1 pei
cent. The death rate of women who
keep house is much larger. And
strangely enough, while modern war
fare reduces the percentage of deaths
labor saving devices in the household
increase the percentage. Gas and gas
oline explosions are especially notable
as domestic tragedies.
The slaughter of mothers exceeds
that of the warriors.
That old time picture of the husband
going forth to the dangers of the day
leaving the wife safely protected in
the home nook, must be changed.
Housekeeping at the best is more OF
less a mental and monotonous occupa-
ton. 1t is to weary thousands a spirit.
less regime. To many a frail or nerv.
Gus woman this bondage to the com.
monplace is in itself a tragedy. When
there is added to it all exhausting la,
bors and menace as real as that OF
the battlefield, what must we say?
The remedy?
Society must do more for the house
wife. There must be more safety ap
planes and better sanitary conditions
Kitchens and cellars should be more
habitable. Women should be better
instructed as to the nature of explo-
sives. CHILDREN SHOULD BE
TAUGHT IN THE SCHOOL THE
COMMON THINGS as well as the
higher things of life. There should be
a better division of labor In the house
hold Let the man, if necessary, do his
part. There should be some diversion
from the ceaseless strain of drudgery
Work is not curse; drudgery is"
Let the world forget for awhile the
sorrows of ''The Man With the Hoe
and contemplate for a time the fate OF
the woman with the dish rag.

Chicago. Aug. s.-Chairman Mack of
the democratic national committee, has
been informed finally that the railroads
will not offer reduced rates for the
Bryan notification next Wednesday.
According to Eben Z. Mcleod, chair
man of the Western Passenger asso-
citation, the association, found it was
impracticable to make the reduction b.
cause local passenger rates in Ne
braska had been reduced from cents
to cents and since that time no re
duction is permitted. Mcleod said
that for the Taft notification the re
duced rates to Cincinnati were offered
by the Central Passenger association.

THE GRIP
What Eminent Physicians Say AS
To Its Treatment.
How To Prevent It-What To Do
After the Grip.

Eminent physicians like the late Drs. Geo. +.
Shrady and Cyrus Edison OF New York agree
that in the grip the patient should be at once
made warm and be given a good cathartic.
THE BEST CATHARTIC in the grip is
Hoods Pills because not only are they "easv
to take and easy to operate" but instead OF
weakening like other cathartics they have ,
true tonic effect.
TO PREVENT THE GRIP. avoid undue ex-
posure. keep your feet always dry and take
Hoods Sarsacarilla. This last advice is very
important, because II your blood is in good
condition and your appetite and digestion arc
all right. you Will escape the grip. 1t seizes
upon those whose health-tone is low. whose
blood is thin and :oor.
AFTER THE GRIP Hoods Sarsaparilla is
the greatest tonic that be taken. 1t over
comes that weak. debilitated condition. purifies.
yitalizes and cnriches the blood. eliminates all
that grip poison, creates an appetite, aids
digestion. and soon puts one 'on his feet again.
