FALL OF MANY WORKING GIRLS
 DUE TO WAGES
PUBLISHED STATEMENT OF MRS. EVA MDONALD VALESH WHO HAS SET NI1W YORK WOMEN WONDERING WHAT NEXT.

Especial from United PresS.)
 New York, Feb. 25.-With a recent public declaration that if the lines of morality in society were strictly drawn. half the boxes in the Metro politan Opera House would be vacant, still ringing in their ears. women Of New York are today placed between the devil and the deep sea by the pub hshed statement of Mrs. Eva McDon- aid Valesh that the standard of wages is responsible for the. fall of many of the poorer working girls. As an au- thority on conditions among the work ing girls Mrs. Valesh is widely recog- nized. For years she has taken active part in their lives.
 "You cannot expect the woman who makes $10 week to be as secure from temptations as the woman who can earn $25 a week." says Mrs Valesh. '"The individual moral code is alwa yS more or less dependent upon circum- stances. A higher wage standard for women will surely result in a higher standard of morality"
 The love of dainty adornment is as much a part of woman's nature IS is motherhood" she said. ''It- does not change a woman's instincts to be born poor. If she is forced by economic conditions to the depths of deprivation she is going to take the first road out of her difficulties that she finds
 'It is not fair to assume that any woman who is worth employing at all is worth $9 a week. One dollar and a half a day is the lowest rate paid to a man laboring by the day. Is it pos sible that the labor of women is worth 1esc 2o

WOMAN WHO DRANK POISON BATTLES
 WITH PHYSICIAN
ROnts Ambulance Doctor Who Threatened
 Her win Stomach Pump

After a sensational struggle with her husband for the possession of a bot tie containing enough creosote to have sent her to the great beyond. Mrs Mary Seymour, aged 23, who lives with her husband in a furnished room house at 326 State street. failed in an attempt to end her life at 11:30 this morning. Mrs. Seymour had quarrel ed with her husband, other occupants of the house say several times during the morning.
 When Dr. Krause of the Emergency hospital arrived in response to an am Eulance5 call from Damtoft & Meyers pharmacy, on the first floor of the block occupied as a furnished room . house, he founi the victim in 8 hys- terical condition. Other occupants of the house had administered ernetics, and it was apparent from the woman s condition that either the emetics had done their work well or she had in- bibed only a tiny portion of the con | tents of the bottle.
 Dr. Krallse was about to apply the stomach pump when the woman gave him such a battle that he decided she was not in need of it, and he left her to continue her fight with her husband if sEef deemed it necessary.
 Seymour says he was in an adjoin- ing room when he looked in just in time to see the woman place the bottle to her lips He dashed through the door and struck her uplifted arm and sent the bottle to the floor. The creo- sote burned her lips so painfully that she made no very determined effort to regain the bottle. The SeymourS are said to be recent additions to the pop aulation of Bridgeport.

 As an especial feature of the meet ing Albert l.. Blair, a well known Brooklyn newspaper man, spoke on '"The W11irr of the Newspaper Press" It teemed with interesting recollec- tions of the olden days of Journalism and by progressive stages brought the auditors down to the latest and most improved methods of newspaperdom. He soundly condemned the negligence of the government in allowing the for ests to vanish for paper pulp without suppIanting them. Pointing out the progress made during the last century, he predicted it was but a question of tim ebefore the newspaper would be able to publish everything at least two weeks before it happened.

neither sit still nor lie quietly in bed,
for the itching was dreadful. He would
irritate spots by scratching with bis
nails and that only made them worse. A
doctor treated him and we tried almost
everything, but the eczema seemed to
spread. It started in a small place on
the lower e1tremities and spread for two
years until it very nearly covered the
back part Of his leg to the knee.
Finally 7 got Cutcura Soap, Cutl-
cura Ointment and Cuticura Pills and
gave item according to directions. l
used them in the morning and that even.
ing, before 1 put my boy TO bed, l used
them again and the improvement even
IN those few hours was surprising, the
inflammation seemed to be so much less.
l used two boxes Of Cuticura Ointment:
the same OF the Pills fSld the Soap and
my boy was cured. NY son is now In
his seventeenth year and he has never
had return Of the eczema.
