WOMEN AS NATURAL ENEMIES
Write. Advances Some Good Reasone
Why This Unfortunate Condition
Must Exist.

THE average woman now begins
that study of society which will merge
ultimately with the marriage cam.
which she admits frankly to herself.
She comes to many conclusions" says
Inez Haynes Gilmore in Harper's Ba-
Ear, (which sink unnoticed into her
subconscious mind. If marriage, for
instance, is her natural career, then
men are her natural prey.
But unfortunately there are never
enough men in her world to go round;
and of those from whom she may hope
to choose some are much more desir
able than others. Naturally she pre-
fers the desirable ones-i. e., the
'eligibles. But-and here she runs
against her first obstacle-every 9th
er single woman in her circle has
come to the some conclusion. From
the instant she realizes this she
must declare war on every other men,
Der of her sex.
Men must often wonder at that mi
mute and merciless examination to
which, on a first meeting, every
woman submits every other WON
an. Men must often marvel at the.
power of quick observation which
women always develop in these cir
cumstances. This is only the swift
interrogation with which a warrior
surveys the arms of his opponent.
Women are forever discovering new
and complex weapons in the posses.
sion of rivals. And, perhaps, the
most terrifying element in the situa-
ton is psychological-her sense OF
bafflement, in that she cannot judge OF
women for men any more than they
can judge Of men for her. Every 9TH
er woman becomes her enemy To
succeed In her world she must play a
lone hand and cut-throat game"

lite amusement of the Russians to run
over to these islands in winter on a

f1ne moonlight night does this amuse-
ment attract a great number of pleas

hear many joyous company making
merry and supping on these islands.
The tziganes or Bohemian musicians
sing and play. while the others dance
and drink. All night long until the

making continue.
The troika car is large sleigh

Then the cannon roars from the fort

face OF the winter palace, announcing
to the people the annual breaking up

Women writer's have not chosen mascu-

They chose them simply as a matter of pro-

knew, just as every woman who has lived
long enough knows, that it is in the very
nature of men to belittle woman's work

PAST Fifty YOU
NEEO ''CASCARETS"
What glasses are 10 weak eyes,
Cascarets are to weak bowels
Try n 10-cent box

Most old people must give to
the bowels some regular help, else
they suffer from constipation.
The condition is perfectly natural.
1t Is just as natural as 1t is for
old people to walk slowly. Foe
age IL never so active as youth.
The muscles are less elastic. And
the bowels are muscles.
So all old people need Cascarets.
One might as well refuse to aid
weak eyes with glasses as to neg
Iect this gentle aid to weak
bowels. The bowels must be kept
active. This is important at all
ages. but never 80 much as at
fifty.
Age is not time for harsh
physics. Youth may occasionally
whip the bowels into activity. But
q lash can't be used every day.
What the bowels of the old need
Is gentle and natural tonic. One
that can be constantly used with
out harm. The only such tonic
is Cascarets and they cost only
10 cents per box at any drug
store. They work while you
sleep.

Editor Times: My answer to
Houston's problem Is as follows:
Wholesale cost, 81; cost of SELL
Ing, 22 per cent. 81 is therefore
7s per cent of cost; 100 per cent
of cost is $1.2S2. Add to this
profit of 10 per cent 1889 and
you will get $1.41, selling price.
This proves as $1.41 Is 10 per
cent. 100 per cent is s1.2S2 or
cost, that is, wholesale cost plus
selling cost. Please print in your
paper when answer will be given
out. Yours truly,
