of ever saving the man from his
strong desire for drink, and only a
mothers interest finally persuaded
him to voluntarily take treatment for

pleasure to recommend ORRINB,

performed by the women, who see no
reason why they should regard dig

Of men alone. The man who owns Il
few acres Of land win often leave it's
cultivation to his wife aud daughters,
while he labors as carpenter, stone

one Of their important Industries. He
also likes to get a Job as waiter In

resorts. for the country has thousands
Of continental and English visitors.
Women share in the heavy work Of
the cities as well. There are female
porters, laborers on the docks, market
tenders and even women coal beavers,
fishermen, or rather, fsherwomen. and
sailors. They are as strong and hardy
as their husbands and brothers and
seem to stand long hours and hard la
