British Women and the Profession.

British Women and the Professions.
There are comparatively few wom-

against women in the law, and the

there are only few British women

SETS BOYS ON RIGHT PATH
Excellent Results of the "sis Brother
Treatment" as P-aetieed in
New York.

If by any chance boy comes to
believe himself a pariah-outside of
things. as they move, and the people
that help move them-the sure way
to bring him back into the right path
is to encourage the growth of self
respect. Just as soon as boy dis
covers that there is one person in
the world to whom his existence is of
interest. the possibilities of life are
Mddenly revealed to him.

The big brother treatment is not ad-
ministered by means of sermons, a
writer in the New York Sun declares,
but by suggestion.
When miserable boy is invited to

big brother asked If there was any
thing that he could do for the little

"Oh, nothing at all. thank you, Mr.

missing the question.

only Cure for Consumption.

With the present rapid growth of
the anti-tuberculosis movement the
number of so-called cures" for con-
sumption is being increased almost
daily. Hundreds of quack doctors"
professors" and institutes" are ad-
vertising that they can cure consump-
ton for small amounts. with the re-
suit that thousands of dupes are year
ly cheated out of their lives as well
as their money. Besides these. cures"
and medicines of all sorts. numbering
now several hundred, are sold for the
deception of the public.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention of tuberculosis
brands all these institutes, doctors,
professors and cures as frauds and de-
ceptions. The only cure for consump-
tion is fresh air, rest and wholesome
