Funny Experiences of Census Takers

In view of the fact that many of
the women of the country assailed the
ruling of E. Dana Durand, director Of
the census, that housewives should be
classified as having no occupation, that
official issued a statement in which he
discussed the question at some length.
1T was not intended by the instruc-
tiOns," said Mr.. Durand, ito imply that
housewives have not a high Occupa-
ton and one which actually contrib
utes greatly to the wealth Of the coun-
try. The point is, however, that the
census idea of an occupation is neces-
sar1ly one which brings in money di-
rectly-which is a means Of support
to the family. Our statistics of fam
lilies will show plainly how many wives
there are, and we shall certainly, in
discussing u statistics of Occupa-
tions, refer to these wives as in most
cases occupied, although not gainfuIly
occupied.
1T is particularly important to get
accurate returns Of these women who
do work for wages OF otherwise direct
ly earn money, and in order to get
such returns accurately it is necessary
to direct that women who do not earn
money, but who are housewives in the
family, should be reported as having
no occupation"

You may wonder why this medicine
is so successful in curing sick women,
after other medicines have failed. The
answer is not far to seek.
Carduri is successful, because it is
composed of ingredients that act spe-
officially on the womanly constitution.
It is not a cure-all. 1t is a medicine
for women and only for women.
