Nearly as Many Woman
Writers Now as Men.


Of them can be made because while thou
sands of women are writing under their
own names. thousands of others are
quietly engaged in numerous forms OF
literary work who are entirely unknown
to the public. Women are acting as eol-
tors Of almost every class of publications.
Woman writer's include novelists, poets
historians essayists. journalists, inter-
viewers. reporters and special writers
upon every kind of science. There is no
way now of distinguishing between man
and woman writer's. Some woman writers
have been in the habit of writing under
a masculine name in the beneI tnat tneii

recognizes that there are certain lines of
work which a woman can do even better

How can I cure myself of the

ed by readers of this paper. Most
of these queries come from elder
ly persons whose habits of life are
difficult to change.
There probably is no sure cure
for such persons. But there are
many small aids which if adopted
early in life may help the growing

they are snoring, and getting

preventing colds; sleeping in a

meals, are all useful if instituted
as habits when young and retain
