II Woman Too Ensahf

Woman Is no longer the salt Of the
earth; man Is, according to the latest
discoveries Of science as chronicled Ia
the Paris Matin. Not since Lots wife
has woman had enough chloride OF
sodium in her makeup. and that Is tho
explanation Of her general inferority
to man. Woman, says science, is too
fresh. The newest conclusion Of the
laboratory Is that the physical and
mental development Of human being
depends on the percentage OF salt In
the blood. The blood Of the man has
more salt than the blood Of the woman.
and for that reason woman can never
expect to equal the sternar sex IN
physical force. reason or intelligence.
There Is In the Mathis scientific dis
cussion but one redeeming assertion In
favor Of wOmanhood-that Is. that
since her facial angle is nearer to that

The one great lesson to be learned
from the Pathological Show and the

which goes to show that this work Is al
the present time about the most prof

the successful apple growers will agree
to the proposition that apples cannot DC
