Rev Anna Howard Shaw and Mrs
Charlotte Perkins Gilman had a de
pate the other day in New York, the
question being, DO husbands support
their wives?" Rev. Anna Shaw sai6
hat they do not, but that in this
semi-civilized country in SO of the
states the title to the children rests,
not in the mother but in the father
Women can not legally possess theiI
own children nor own their clothes
The more work a woman does the less
her husband gives her. Mrs. Gilman
scid that if stenographer earning
s2o a week married an invalid and he
stayed home and did the work while
she made the money. people would
say she supported him.. and logically
the wife doing the same thing was
supported. The audience, however
voted in favor of the proposition OF
DR.. Shaw.

IN AGONY WITH ECZEMA.
Torturing Humor - Hoped Death
Would End Fearful Suffering.
In Despair; Cured by Cuticura.

Words cannot describe the terrible
eczema | suffered with. 1t broke out
on my head and kept spreading until
1T covered my whole body. l
was almost a solid mass of sores from
head to foot. l looked more like a
piece OF raw beef than a human be-
ing. The pain and agony endured
seemed more than l could bear Blood
and pus oozed from the great sore on
my scalp, from under my finger nails,
and nearly all over my body. My
ears were SO crusted and swollen
was afraid they would break of.
Every hair in my head fell out
co1d not sit down, for my clothes
would stick to the raw and bleeding
flesh, making me cry ont from the
pain. My family doctor did all he
could but l got worse and worse. My
condition was awful. l did not think
/ could live, and wanted death to
come and end my frightful sufferings.
IN this condition my mother-in-law
begged me to try the Cuticura Rem
edies. l said 1 would, but had no hope
vi itNONCls. Dul vi, WAdl OlSSSCu lO-
lief l experienced after applying Cuti-
cura Ointment 1t cooled the bleeding
and itching flesh and brought me the
first real sleep l had had in weeks. It
was as grateful as ice to a burning
tongue l would battle with warm
water and Cuticura Soap, then apply
the Ointment freely. l also took Cuti
cura Resolvent for the blood. In a
short time the sores stopped running
the flesh began to heal, and knew
was to get well again. Then the hair
on my head began to grow, and in a
short time / was completely cured
l wish l could tell everybody who has
eczema to use Cuticura. Mrs. VIM

THE NARROWING LAND OF PROMISE

Nearly one-half the area of unappro-

ment might as well be in bleak Alaska
or consist Of impossible mofass for al
the attraction it holds to home seekers
Considerable of it is now desert, says
recent bulletin from Washington, al
though irrigation may in time redeem
portions of it, just as draining and dry
ing up will render swamp areas avail
able for tillage.
Formerly the appeal used to call the
landless back to the soil was offer of
"Gee land" The same offer can be
made today, but there is "string" tied
to the prospect. Capital is needed to
open up the production of the virgin soil
now awaiting the settler. Two-thirds
of the population today is found in the
original thirteen states of the Union
and in states formed from the original
area. In these states there are abun-
dant acres ripe for intensive cultivation
and that means occupation and sup
port for as many newcomers as there
are tillers of the soil already on the
job.

USE AND ABUSE OF COLLEGES

This is the season for criticism OF
college education, and the views of the
self made millionaire who says that
colleges are curse are not exception
al. College bred men, notably many
professors, are among the freest critics
of higher institutions of learning. From
this source reform will come. Men of
college education numbering thousands
are engaged in business life, and they
are keen to detect the short comings of
the schools.
Graduates of colleges are in demand
in all activities. They show good ef-
iects of school discipline and disprove
the charge that a college education
breeds idleness and incapacity. Col
leges Of all grades are becoming more
and more practical, and it depends
largely upon the student whether the
results of course are good or bad.
1t is the same in the lower schools.
The average American schoolboy asks
to be trained for useful work. If lucky
enough to get to college lie strives
there for higher training.

And the Owner Of ths Wagon Was
Grateful For the Truth.
In small southern Indiana town is
a liveryman who has ideas Of his own
about conducting his business.
Not long ago an Indianapolis drum
mer, known for his ability to get over
ground In hurry, had one of old
Henry's rigs with which he drove to a
neighboring town. Part of the way
was over a corduroy road. The drum
mer's business detained him longer
than he expected, and when he finally
got back in the buggy for the return
trip he found that he would have to
drive some to catch train.
He made the livery outfit scamper
along the road at lively pace. Final
ly, when he struck the corduroy road,
he felt something snap and knew that
he had broken a spring on the buggy.
He saws visions of having to make
the damage good to old Henry. When
he reached the barn he jumped out and
said:
"Henry. l broke spring. How
much do l owe you"
'How did you break 1t, Gus?" asked
the liveryman.
"Driving like the dickens over
rough road" the drummer answered
frankly.
"Then you don't owe me anything"
"Why. how's thatY'
"Well. that's the first time ever had
q spring broke that way. It's a new
way O. breakin' them. All ever had
broke before was broke drivin' easy

Attest FOR NEW YORKs RACING LAW

This seasons experience in racing
will prove whether the institution is
doomed to fail without easy gambling
accomplishments. 1t is claimed that
without bookmaking New York races
cannot succeed. Bookmaking is cut
out, but former patrons OF bookmakers
can bet the same as before. Oral bets
are legal. Bookmakers with large
circle Of patrons who trust them and
whom they trust can do business. Since
the persecution Of pool rooms began
thriving business has been done by this
method with bets ranging from one
dollar up.
The new law puts the chance race
goer at disadvantage. He probably
is not known to any bookmaker on the
track. If not he cannot bet. But the
man and woman who wish to see
favorite horse run and are willing to pay
the admission for that alone may indulge
their love for the horse and his speed,
and it is to the fidelity Of this class that
racing associations must now look for
support.

The Pure Food law is again placed
in danger OF having its aims and OBJ.
jects defeated. The Hippolyte Egg
Company has brought suit against Sec
retary Wilson, of the Department of
Agriculture, who ordered the canned
eggs of the company seized, claiming
that its methods of staying time against
the freshness OF eggs by the use of boric
acid was violation of the law.
The Beef Trust and other powerful in
terests that want to make old stale
foods pass and be sold for fresh and
new, are said to be lending financial
aid to the canned egg company One
plea of the carefully planned assault of
the food cheats and frauds is that the
Pure Food act is unconstitutional, in
that it assumes inherent powers in the
Federal Government that is reserved
entirely to the States. Time and ex-
perience has shown that the States ef
forts have been futile in dealing with
the situation, in spite of which these
outrageous impositions and frauds have
been built up, and flourished with SO
little hindrance, that the National Pure
Food law has become part of the
statutes of the United States from pure
necessity, and because State govern
ments have utterly failed to cope with
a situation that, on account OF its
cheating the people by adulterating
almost every manufactured article of
food, and not only SO, but also by cor
nering and monopolizing production,
have made consumers pay from two to
three prices for what they should be
able to buy pure article, thus cheat
ing both ways, and stealing equally
upon the right hand and the left. Was
ever infamy more black, or impndence
more brazen?

HERE'S A BUTCHER WITH A NEW IDEA

Everybody knows about ready-to-
serve breakfast foods and add-a-little-
water soups and jellies, but it has re-
named for a meat market in the Hud-
son Terminal building to spring the
latest pleasing innovation on a hurry
ing and hungry public in its offer to
have its expert chef cook any of the
purchases made in the store. The Off
or has been made known in an adver-
tisement which reads, in part as fol.
lows:
"Our new branch market in the
Hudson Terminal building which will
open with the tunnels, will not only
be convenient place for commuters
to purchase meat and fowl, but in
addition it will afford an opportunity
for them to procure the services of an
expert chef free of charge.
"You simply order your meat and
fowl in the morning, aud it will be
ready in the afternoon, daintily cook
ed and conveniently wrapped.
"rhe cooking will be on a par with
that in the best hotels. 1t will enable
you to enjoy in your own home the
services of chef you could not hire.
"Pleasing as the news will be to
many women it is probable that it will
not be greeted with quite so much en-
thusiasm by husbands who will be de-
prived of the right of ipquiring "Why
in thunder can't the cook have dinner
ready on timer"
The load OF responsibility has been
shifted and the head of the house may
now expect to hear. "John, dear, is
the meat cooked?" when he arrives
home after his days labors.
