The Wage Earning Wife
BY Frances eilbreath InsersoIi.

She is one of the most demoralizing
factors OF the time. morally and
physically.
When she declares her ability TO
provide for herself, she robs man of
his noblest incentive--to care for and
to protect woman. She skaters his
highest ideal when she makes love a
matter of finances-her finances. She
destroys the sacredness, to him, OF
the marriage tie. when she gauges
his affections upon the cold calculat'
ing basis of comparative wage earn
ing capacity-his and hers.
Every dollar she earns debases him
in his own sight. and is a reproach
TO his manhood.
She lowers his reverence for her
sex when she puts herself on his sex
level-where no man wants his wife.

She outrages his manhood when
she places her motherhood in the

She weakens him physically. be-
cause be no longer needs 10 develop
muscle TO fight the world for her.
She debases him spiritually when
he has nothing human higher or bet
ter than himself TO which to pay honor
or homage-when she has put her
Nseif on an equality" with him.
She makes him a gambler with life
when she wagers love and home and
children and wifehood and mother
hood against his right TO stand on his
own manhood and not hers.
Because home is less TO her than
the Office or shop, ashes lie upon the
hearthstone, and the hearts key Is
nesting upon the threshold.

The National Association for the

says that In seven states, Alabama,

population of over 100000, not one
bed for consumptives has been pro.

Alaska, Delaware, Florida. Kansas,

combined population of these states is
