Women are shortening their lives
by going into the business world. A
woman is not physically able to stand
the hardships and overcome the ills
and troubles that come to the business
man. Choosing an environment which
prevents her from f fulfilling her nat
ural mission in life, she has got to SUI

physiologically intended to perform
the household duties, which give her
opportunities to rest when she feels
so inclined, to eat regularly, and to be

BLIND ARE MADE TO SEE
Five Cases of Blindness Cured at Uni
versity Hospital in
Minneapolis

Five blind men have had their sight
restored at the eye and ear clinic re-
Gently opened at Elliot Memorial hos
pital at the university. This is the re-
port that has gone out attesting the
service being performed by this one
department of Minnesota's big edu-
cational institution.
Each of the five had been afflicted
with cataracts. Two had been blind
for years. Blindness was not total In
all of the cases, but in all it was so
nearly so as to incapacitate them from
work and make them dependent on
others for aid in the commonest acts
of daily life.
One man had not recognized the
faces of his wife and children for a
decade Another saw his year-old
baby for the first time. A third, an
expressman in Minneapolis, had been
almost helpless in recent months, put
tering around his office but able to do
but little managing of his business.
Already he is beginning to take hold
and soon will be active again.
The treatment was practically the
same in all cases, and it is said to have
been comparatively simple. Sol e
were able to leave the hospital after a
couple of days. The worst case was
discharged within fortnight. Hospi-
tai authorities explain that other pa
tients, blind wholly or partly, were
treated without such good results, but
the record of the few weeks the clinic
has been operated is one of five cases
wherein the blind were made to see.
University hospital is a charity in
stitution. 1t takes no paid patients.
While treatment is administered under
the observation of medical students at
the university, the students, it is said,
have nothing to do with it. Expert
physicians and surgeons of the Twin
Cities treat the patients. Names of
patients treated are not made public,
owing to the conditions under which
they receive attention.

the resident physician at the Hotel
Martha Washington, and I considered
her specially well fitted to discuss the
health, good or bad, of the modern
business woman.
Can't Stand the Killing Pace
at is unquestionably true that wom-
en- are physiologically unsuited to
business life," promptly declared Doc
tor Hancock "They have forced them
selves or been forced into the world of
stores and shops and Offices, and they
will soon, if they do not already, re-
pent of it. They cannot stand the
killing pace Of the modern industrial
world; at least, they cannot stand it
for many years.
Don't look at the girl beginners if
you want to prove this. Study the
business woman between 40 and SO.
Note the drawn, tired lines around
the mouth and bespectacled eyes, the
listless, dragging step, the nervous
bodily movement. When such wom-
an does not retire, frankly admitting
that she is broken down, it is generally
only because her finances will not per-
nit such step.
81 am speaking of what | know, be-
cause have repeatedly been given the
opportunity to study such cases in the
course of my practice. They are both
tragic and pitiful. The tragedy is when
the woman has been forced into her
work for the support of helpless rela-
tives. The pitiful instance is where
she has deliberately put aside marri
age and a happy home TO pursue the
chimera of financial independence.
Six Million Outside the Home
an either case the sacrifice is too
valuable, and our American men should
not permit it. AS Doctor Lowell OBJ
serves, the natural work for woman
to do is homework. It is varied, light
and adaptable. There is nearly always
a chance to lie down and relax COM
pletely at some hour of the day. The
work is performed among pleasant,
healthful surroundings and there is no
uncongenial crowd of fellow workers
to get on ones nerves. 1t is surely
ideal.
