Hope for the victim. of Narcotics.

In an article III success Magazine
Alexander Lambert, NJ. D., says: From
time immemorial mankind has sought
substances to help celebrate his joys,
or soothe his sorrows, or blunt the
drudgery of his existence. Opium and
alcohol have most frequently been
used for these purposes. OF late years
cocaine has been added to this list.
Whenever these narcotics have been
employed for these purposes they have
often been used to excess.
When the habit Of the excessive use
Of narcotics has once beer formed, so
rare indeed have been the instances
of individuals successfully freeing
themselves from their enslaving habit
that they have been regarded as medi.
cal curiosities. In the whole broad
range of the practice of medicine there
is no situation more trying to patient
and physician than the struggle to OBJ
literate the craving for narcotics and
to re-establlsh the patient in a nor
NAL state in which he may again face
successfully the problems of existence.
Until recently this seemed all but
impossible, but lately a treatment was
discovered which successfully obliter-
ates the craving for narcotics, and per.
sons who were formerly enslaved may
now have the opportunity to begin life
anew without their resistless desire
for narcotic indulgence.

WORKING WOMEN AND BALLOT.
Argument to show That They Would
BE Worse on with 1t.

Argument to show That They Would
BE Worse or with 1t.
The lack of the ballot has nothing
whatever to do with the fact that wom-
en- workers are paid less than men
in the same occupations; the grant
of the ballot would not raise the rate
of women's wages to an equality of
that of mems, says the Boston Tran
script. The comparatively low pay of
women is due to economic and social
causes which the voting power could
not affect III the slightest degree.
Briefly put the chief of these auses
are: "a The lower efficiency of the
average woman worker, resulting
mainly from physical limitations;
(2) the temporary nature of the en-
ployment, which in most cases is ter
minated by marriage; CO the rapid
increase of the supply of woman labor,
which in recent decades las been
crowding into occupations already fill
ed by men; (4) the lack of organiza-
ton, which has left women at the
mercy of sweat masters; co the para
site relation of many women toward
tuclT l4uuSlE1dl OCCupdtiouS, WHICH are
not their sole means of support. These
causes would persist even if women
had the ballot. Whatever the suffrage
would or would not do for woman
it would assuredly not bring her equal
ity of pay with man.
Nor would the ballot assist work.
ing women to obtain better legislative
protection against injurious conditions.
of employment. On the contrary, much
of the present legislation limiting the
hours and regulating the terms of en-
ployment for women would be rem.
dered unconstitutional by the proposed
extension of the suffrage. This legis-
lation, so far as it applies to adult
women, now stands the test of consti.
t%utionality only because women are in
the same class with minors as regards
their constitutional status. If women
were given the ballot and thus were
placed in the same class with adult
men, they would be deprived of the
special protection now afforded them
by the labor CODE. In this respect the
working woman would be worse off
with the ballot than she is without the
boomerang weapon"

department, but Ezra c. Bingham, who
is at the head of the engineering and
mechanical departments of the Wal
dorf-Astoria. Bingham is happy be-
cause, after years of urging, he has at
last pursuaded George c. Boldt to per-
nit him to establish a chicken farm
on the roof of the magnificent hostelry
on Fifth avenue over which Mr.. Boldt
presides.
Bingham is farmer from the far
west. A big, stalwart fellow, with the
breezy atmosphere of the prairies still
clinging to him. During the warm
spring, summer and early autumn,
when the doors and windows were
all open and Bingham could breathe
something like pure air, he did
not mind living in the Waldorf.
Astoria. but when the late fall and
winter months came and like every
one else doing indoor work he had to
be housed many hours of the day. his
mind reverted to the old life in the
west and he longed to be back on the
1arm raising live stock of some sort.

I'VE can't have FARMS" said Mr..

u0NEY MADE IN LIVE STOCK

w. J. Henderson, visiting Seattle,
writes the Canadian Government
Agent at Spokane, Wash, and says:
Il have neighbors in Central Canada
raising wheat. barley and oats for the
past TO- years, and are now getting
from the same land 20 to 80 bushels of
wheat per acre, 40 to 60 bushels of
oats.
1T was the first week of May when I
got my tent pitched. but the farmers
all around had finished putting in
their crops, so only got fifteen acres
broke and seeded. They advised me
as it was late not to put in much
wheat, SO I put in five acres of wheat
and ten acres oats, one-half acre pota-
toes and vegetables. All kinds of veg.
etables grow well up there, sweet corn,
tomatoes, onions, carrots, peas, beans,
cabbage. My wheat yielded about 20
bushels per acre, for which I got 76
cents, others got 80 cents; oats
threshed IS bushels per acre, for which
I got IS cents per bushel. You see ]

In, still l was satisfied.
From my observation, there is more
money made in stock, such as cattle,
horses and sheep, as prices are high
for such, and it costs nothing to raise
them, as horses live the year around
out on the grass. In fact, farmers turn
their work horses out for the winter,
and they come in fresh and fat in the
spring. Cattle live out seven or eight
months. They NOW the prairie grass
and stack it for winter and give oat
straw. My neighbors sold steers at
$40 each, and any kind of a horse
that can plow, from $4,000 up. I raised
so chickens and S pigs, as pork, chick
ems, butter and eggs pay we'll and al
ways a good market for anything a

had six different places.
The little runaway girl from Wash

years ago, when Lederer had on "The
Wild Rose" She was in the chorus of

Eddie Foy, then playing in the piece,
indulged in a little joke, and this
meant the turning point in the career
of Clara Taylor.
''Why don't you go on barefooted?"
he suggested to Miss Taylor as the
chorus stood in the wings, waiting for
the cue to romp on the stage.
why not?" asked the lass. And
down she sat on the boards and
stripped of shoes and stockings Bare.
footed and barelegged she went down
to the footlights, inaugurating the
Trilby dance In New York.
At the close of the show Miss .Tay-
lor packed her handbag and went forth
seeking another job. Having run the
gamut of the New York shows, she
went to her friends and collected
enough money to take her to London
She landed in the chorus of ''The Earl
and the Girl" playing at the Adelphi
theater. In the company were many
American girls, friends Of Miss Taylor.
These friends found that Miss Tay-

that she had married Stirling did not
