SAYS SUFFRAGETTES JUST
VICTIMS OF THEIR NERVES

DR.. Grinker was called to tell the jul
ry about the condition of Jennie Wahl
during the trial of her suit for per
sonal injuries against the Chicago Rail
ways company. He said she was ner-
vous.
"A nervous woman is always after 8
sensation. That is the type. She
goes after everything new. She at
tends the J-cent theaters and the varie.
ty shows. All those things constitute
nervousness.
This age is full of those women
Things are not what they were in the
good old days when the women were
content to look after their families To
day they want the novel and the sensa-
tional They find no peace at home
because they are always seeking some
new experience"
And that is your picture of a ner-
vous woman" asked the attorneys.
THAT is my picture of the nervous
woman" replied the expert on the fem
mime foible.
And the jury-all men-brought in a
verdict for the street railway com
pany.

Chicago. March 27.-When a woman
turns suffragette she is ill.
When she gets the matinee fever she
is sick.
When she dances. plays cards. joins
clubs and gallivants about frisky-like
she needs a doctor.
Dr. Julius Grinker. expert on the
brain storms of the gentle sex. declared
all that and more under oath and in
court.
And none of them are of any par
ticular use to their families" he added
by way of balm to the injured hus-
bands who are preparing to turn house
keepers-so the houses may be kept.
"A nervous woman has not the pa
thence to stay at home,' he said in
Judge Gibbons court yesterday. She
goes out. plays cards. attends dances
and parties, joins clubs, and is a wo-
man suffragist.
When she comes home she is no
good to her husband and children. She
has no appetite. She doesn't sleep
very we'll. In other words, she may
be considered an unsuitable individual
to have anything to do with"
