Fluttering indicates a weakness of

Like palpitation, shortness of breath,
pain in side and shoulder, it is
frequently followed by the worst
form of heart disease; therefore it
should not be neglected.

a somewhat settled conviction in

for any reason snch laws are nn-

Zen, but it does appear to US that

Il The Farmers Wife 4 Slave7

What prosperity on the average
farm means to the women Of the
country is described by William
Atberton Du Puy in a startling
article on ''The Useless Tragedy
of the Farmers Wife," which ap.
pears in The Delineator for June.
Were the six millions of farmers
wives in the Uuited States placed
in a chaldron, fused into one homo
geneous mass, enough of it chop
ped out to make one woman-the
typical farm woman-and were
she despicted to the people as she
is, there would be the greatest
tragedy of American civilization,
says Mr.. Do Puy.
There is a lot to be found out
about this woman, and it is vital
to k .ow of her. 1t is she who
bears the brunt of feeding the mul.
titnde for which the farmer re-
ceives 40 much praise. 1t is she
who gives birth, before her vitalit,
is sapped, TO the men who make
who makes history. 1t is she WHO
is martyred even in the times of
peace and plenty. 1t is u useless
martyrd,m, for it is easily pre-
ventahIe. aud for this reason it is
especially important that her con
dition and the causes of it should
he known.
In the 6rst place, yon will be
told that it is all bosh abouts oe
unfavorable conditions on the
farm; that the farmers laet year
raised seven billions of dollars
worth OF produce and that they
have given themselves the uplift.
Conditions are not at all like they
used to he on the farm. you are
told, for these men are now riding
in automobiles and there is running
water which has been put in his
house.
There is a lot of truth in some
of your statements, for the farm.
ers have made great deal Of mon.
ey, and in some communities there
are hundreds of conveniently ar.
ranged and ideal homes on the
farms. But the consensus of
opinion of the greatest authorities
iu this country on farm conditions
is to the effect that probably ten
per cent of the farmers are grasp
ing their opportunities for better
living in 80 far as the home is con-
cerned, and that the condition OF
but ten per cent of the women is
improved. Strange to say, with
the vast majority there has come
a worse condition with the devel.
opment of the farm and the adven,
of prosperity. The Country Life
Commission, appointed by tbs
President, has travelled the coun
try over and found this to be .
fact.

likely, even if possible, bot The
situation raised and forced by the
Missouri cases will set the country
to thinking. We shall hear, of
course, that our entire judicial sys-
TEN needs reconstruction from top
to bottom. There will be those to
advocate the wiping out of state
courts and the concentration of
power 10 federal hands. There
will he others 10 urge that the in
ferior federal courts shall be abol-
ished. Of these two propositions
the last is by far the easier. The
federal constitution provides for
but one federal court. The estub.
lishment of all other federal courts
is left with Congress, aod there is
not an inferior federal court 10 ex-
istence which is as constitutional as
the Supreme Court Of every state
is constitutional. But why need
there be any reconstruction Of
judicial systems? Are Americans
incapable of regulating and con.
trolling their Judicial affairs with.
out the shock Of political or armed
force! There is room for both
systems and need of both. But it
would be folly to deny that, if
either must ever yield, the
merely statutory courts standing
between the constitutional courts
of states and the one constitutional
court of the United States, will be
the ones to go.-Globe- Democrat.
