DR.. Mabel Howe Otis, lectur-
ing to a Y. w. c. A, audience,
says: Every girl should stand
on her head at least twice day;
it's better than medicine"
This settles it! Here's where
we drop science, anti-toxins and
Murphy buttons, and go back to
sassafras tea, burdock syrup and
horny-handed calome!
Haven't we paid respectful at
tention when DR.. Wiley told US
there was benzoate Of soda in ev=
erything on our table from soup
to walnuts? We have.
Didn't we stand by DR.. Pas
teur when he declared that we
were pretty much all a harbor of
refuge for bacteria? We did.
Who Waged a high moral cam
paign for the individual tooth
brush, towel and drinking cup?
We did.
Who sacrificed on the altar of
the Goddess Science a virgin |

found in possibilities? We.
Who taught the kiddies to kiss |
with the ear instead of the lip?
Who has sunk chorus to every
tune that Science has started to

terror-inspiring struggle to keep |
alive in spite of fever mosquitoes
and typhoid flies?

water, sterilized the COW and dis

But we quit right now! 1t Dr.
Mabel Otis gets our women folks
to standing on their heads twice
a day, she's going 20 hear, right
out in print, what we think of fe-
male rights in the doctoring bust
ness. If any girl stands on her
head in our presence and relies on
us to set her t'other end up in her
pinch skirts, she's going to find
that she's tied her hopes to the
wrong hitching post.
If any female, ours or anoth-
er's, high or low, white or black,
married or single, suffragette or
anti, takes to DR.. Otising in our
neighborhood lieu of medicine,
she's going to get an inverted
view of an almighty fine specimen

Der, that's all
We loved Science and been 10y
al to her and suffered, often, un-
told agonies in her behalf, and
there isn't any counting of our
sacrifices for her. But, if she,
stands on her head in these pres
emf day hobble skirts, she'll stick
there till kingdom come for all of
us; and that goes!

Mrs. Kingthorne admired herself e1

Jimmy, for some reason, was late.
but presently Kingthorne arrived. He
seemed little dazed at the chorus
Of Joyful shrieks and the bundle Of
brown wool that was thrust at him.

tone. THAT doesn't look q bit like

"The one!" cried Mrs. Kingthorne.

The bell rang just then and King.
thorne went to the door. When he
rejoined them he was leading by q
leash an Airedale pup. A grown.up
Airedale is without doubt the ugliest
dog yet invented, but an Airedale pup
transcends by hundred degrees the
ugliness of the grown-up Airedale.
There is no use in trying to tell what
Kingthorne's pup looked like, because
If adequate words could be found no
body would believe the description
anyhow.
Kingthorne spoke into the immense
silence almost defiantly. "He's q
bench dog" he said. "All my life
I've wanted an Airedale-and am
sure Jimmy will be crazy about this
one. So will you when you get used
to his looks and appreciate his noble
nature. That brown. woolly thing
hasn't any class, my dear"
well, I like hint" cried Mrs. King,
!thorne, Indignantly.
Jimmy slammed into the house Just
then. Something slammed in with
him. It was an overgrown, calflike
creature. all legs and tail and tongue,
with a great ugly head, and its style
of architecture was q combination Of
everything from early Greek down.
Hes mine!" Jimmy cried, proud.

q resigned sigh to his wife. that We
can chloroform our dogs!"

Jimmy
Gets a Dog

In a needless moment the King
thornes yielded to Jimmy's ardent and
vociferous pleas and admitted that it
might be possible to permit him to
have a dog to play with. Up to that
time they had been able to match his
teasing by succinct and comprehen-
sive "No!" But now life was vastly
different.
Every Homecoming of the elder
members of the family, If not greeted
by "Didyuh bring my dog?" was hailed
with the wall, when kin l have my
dog?" or Whit kind of a dog is it
I'm going to get?" until the King.
thornes reached the stage where their
opinion on dogs as a whole was so
intense that 1t was wordless.
The situation led to discussions also,
for both Kingthorne and his wife &C.

one who said the fatal word of assent.
