WHEN A MANS SICK.
That's the Time a Woman Does the
Boss Act to Perfection.

BOSS ACS 10 F6TIGCItons
When a woman has charge Of a sick
man she feels as important as the mar
shall Of the day at country Fourth of
July celebration, and however am1able
she may be at other times she is very
'bossy" when she has medicine to give
a man or lotions to put on him. If he
wants a drink Of water she expresses
the opinion that he is drinking too
much and remembers that her Aunt
Harriet's husband once drank a great
deal when he was sick and had, convul-
sions.
If the sick man becomes impatient
and says the medicine is doing no good
Bhe reminds him curtly that 'time" is
necessary. She has even been known
to dip into the classics and say that
Rome was not built In day. The air
of wisdom with which she examines
the doctor books convlnces the sick
man that, however intelligent his med
ical adviser may have been, after his
recovery he will lie informed that he
would have been sick much longer had
she not used her homemade lotions.
Whatever she does at night the doctor
will agree in the morning that it was
very good.
The sleepiest woman in the world
will stay up all night cheerfully If she
can get chance to doctor somebody,
and if a man has medicine to take at
an unusual hour he will get it If there
is a woman around. = Ed Howe In

perts, However.

Los Angeles. July H. The question.
Ashould religion be taught in the
schools?s was answered affirmatiyely
by the conference of ministers attend
ing the 26 annual convention OF the
Christian Endeavor societies. So also
was that as to the teaching of sex by i
giene. but the clergymen registered it
as their opinion that sex knowledge
should not be taught school pupils by
the regular teachers. but by physicians
especially appointed for the purpose.
To strengthen the influence of protes-a
tantism 1t was recommended that the
churches Join federation and work
in unison.
DIR. Charles NJ Sheldon. of Topeka,
Kan, leader OF the conference, recon-
mended the compilation of bible text
book for use in the schools. He spoke
vigorously In favor of the adjustment
OF all traits, as menace to democ-
racy.
Among the subjects discussed today
at the Various divisional meetings Of
the International Convention Of the

rural church problem, rthe Christian
Endeavor institute. field work and the
Young Women's Christian association.
The problem of efficiency and expan-
