AN AGE OF ADVERTISING.
Time Has Passed When Big Firms Can
Refuse.

This is an age of advertising. No
one can do business successfully
without it. Recently. when the
Chicago papers stopped publication
for three days, business in the city
stores was practically at a standstill.
1t is not long since certain large es-
adjustments in New York boosted
that they did not advertise or said
that a satisfied customer was the
best advertisement. Tiffany, Bro
kaw Brothers and other widely
known houses did not advertise, but
they do today, and so does every
large concern.
In those days the merchant sold
his goods over the counter and the
manufacturer sent out his statesmen,
but today people buy the goods
which they want and which they
know something about because of
the information given by the adver-
tisements.

instruction being carried out in a definite
books, lectures demonstrations and prac-
teal work. This school exists not merely
for instruction in the rules and regulations
of the hospital, and the duties of attend
ants in the proper housekeeping of the
wards, but for the thorough teaching of
all that belongs to the art of nursing, so
that pupils graduating from this school
shall be able to do general sick and Surgi-
cal nursing, as well as the special work of
caring for the insane.

hospital have, and do. compete success

course OF training extends over period Of
three years, and consists of lectures, sup
plemented by the study of text books and
practical instruction in all the details of the
care of the sick and insane. Young wo-
men taking this course of training receive
an amount of culture, independent of their
training as nurses, which will help to fit
them for any occupation they may choose
TO take up after graduation, besides teach
ing them to be orderly, methodical and
accurate. and developing in them the power
of Self-control

Brand Whitlock, mayor of Toledo

Yes, it is beautiful: this peaceful scene
Of shimmering lake, deep in the pinewoods

With happy. brown kneed children, youth

And elder folk in summer white arrayed,
At tennis, golf and boating-al at play.
Wherewith they while these golden hours

And yet-and yeti wish I could not see,
Back in the city's heat and misery,
Those patient men who toll in shop and

Their work worn wives, their children wan and

Wasting their lives in cruel sacrifice
To give these idle ones this paradise.

Whether it's travelling to Green

of the natives. or inventing a new
variety of sweet pea. or writing a

Woman S Role Changed
Time No Longer Hangs Heavy When Children
Leave Home. Modem Mother in Indian
Summer of Her Years May Have
the Time Of Her Life

The middle aged woman has de-
veloped problem. How long she
has had it nobody knows. The prob
lens of middle aged woman have
not long concerned the vender of
problems, novelist or dramatist.
Even today when your daring hui
man document deyotee confesses his
heroine to have passed the limits of
well preserved youth he makes haste
to add that she still has the appear
ance of youth about her, IAN Indian
summer radiance" or some such
thing.
SHE IS STILL YOUNG.
And when it comes to the psychol-
ogy of his heroine he usually pre-
sents a variety of feminine Harold
Skimpole, not mature women of
middle age at all but a woman whose
youth has undergone a process of
depreciation. Good gracious"
the middle aged woman might cry,
Il outgrew that sort of thing twenty
years ago!'
So the middle aged woman has not
the advantage of literary precedent.
She works out her problem pretty
much alone. Somewhere between
40 and 60 it oyertakes her. She
wakes up some fine morning in the
full vigor of..mature powers, ready
to cope with any situation that hap
pens along. and behold, the situa-
ton is this, her occupation is gone.
LINES UP WITH oTHELLOs.
She is lined up with the Othellos
of society. She is facing an employ
ment question all her own. 1t isn't
simply to find a new JOB, it is to fand
new kind of a Job, to begin over
again, somewhere between 40 and
6U, ana develop a DfGnd new set OF
interests and duties.
The careful housewife and devoted
mother meet the middle aged prob
lem in its acutest form. Tt can hap
pen that in six months time jim

SHE MAY JOIN CLUBS.

But if the middle-aged matron is
a woman of sense and spirit, she
bows to the inevitable, and finds new
fields to conquer. She joins half
dozen clubs or develops a mania for
solitaire or takes lessons in anything
she doesn't care especially about
knowing, from interior decorating
to swimming.
And if she is modern woman in
the feminist sense she frequently re-
juvenates ia a manner most surpris-
ing. In the twenty years between
middle age and the time when sheis
ready to fold her hands, she can

fences of her life. And she fire.

I'm nearly 25, and I've got to live

The surprise of it is shock to the
middle aged matron. The effort of
her life for thirty years has been to
turn herself into tree of shelter
to her children. Now she is shortly
expected to clip herself back into a
hedge to decorate the background
of their lives. She doesn't like it.
