STILL THINK OF CHILDREN.

Even though your children grow up
and marry YOU never have the same KIND
Of freedom that you had when you were
a Young wife, before they came. You re
always planning that you'll get away and
do the things with your husband that you
wanted to do when YOU were both young
and didn't have the time or opportunity;
but somehow you never set around 10 H.
The children are here TO think OF, JUST
the same. OF course, you've more free
dom than when your family was all
around you but it's not the youns-mar-
rled freedom at all.
There Is a class OF mothers-ln-law VINO
have some time and no extra money. The

THE MOTEIER-IN-LAW
QUESTION SOLVED?
IAN Investigator Who Went Out to Find What the
Mother-in-Law Could Do to Keep Out OF
Mischief Found That She Had
Ceased to Trouble

Mrs Henry Willard says that giving the
ballot TO women is the true solution OF
the mother-in-law problem.
There are many idle elderly women
who cannot be awakened to the need Of
working for the acknowledgment OF their
sex or the good Of the community she
explained. They may be still interfering
with the affairs Of their married children
or giving unnecessary fees 20 fashionable
doctors. or busying themselves with un-
important af1air on which no woman ;
time should be spent in this world, where
there are so many wrongs TO be righted.
Give these women the ballot. and though
they think they don't want il, pride and
tho example OF others will make them
use it, and the necessity will bring them
in touch with their kind. will wake them
