1t is a beautiful charity, for
there are no tragedies in the world
more poignant than the fate of
those old women who are forced
to eat the bitter bread OF depend

feel that they are one too many.
Sometimes it is an old mother
who has given her best years to
shaving and toillng for her chill
dren, but who finds herself an UNI
welcome guest in her sons and

is an old maid sister who has sac
rifced her youth, and her ro-
nance, and her own chances in
life in order to give younger
brothers and sisters better oppor-
tunities than she could have. who
is farmed out among those for
whom she has done 30 much, and
who regard themselves as martyrs
for having TO take Jane for so
many months year Sometimes
It is a forlorn old cousin, or a
widowed aunt. childiess, penniless,
to whom, for very shame sake, an
unwilling door has been grudging-
ly opened.

And Sorrow Is Turned
Into Joy Before
Him.

A. woman has written from
facts a most remarkable novel in
which this national menace is
terribly and truthfully depicted.
The book of Job gives the title
to this novel in the following quo
tation on the fly leaf:
"Canst thou draw out Leviathan
with a hook? Upon the earth
there is not one like him. He is
king over all the children Of pride.
When he raiseth himself up, the
mighty are afraid. In his neck
remaineth strength, and sorrow is
turned into joy before him"
It is because OF this last SEN
tence, perhaps, that the dread
drug can be most likened to
Leviathan, since so many sad
souls and troubled hearts and suf-
fering bodies find temporary Joy
in the merciless' grasp Of the
drug.
But God and all His hosts of
Ministering Angels must come to
the rescue of one who seeks such
Joy, or the end is misery, shame
and despair.
The author has painted in vivid
colors the terrible fight made by a
brave soul to overcome the drug
habit after it had been contracted
and after repeated efforts and
failures to abandon 1t, and she
ends her great book with her hero
cured and in perfect health and
the father of robust children.
The author makes this charge:
opium, laudanum, morphia,
ETC., is not the tragedy of the
underworld, nor of the lap-dog
world. 1t is the tragedy of the
working world-of doctors, writ
ers, lecturers, scientists, teach
ers, students-both men and
women"
Then she adds:
Its a national problem that
can not be settled by sending one
man or even many to Jail. It's a
monster that has crawled up out
Of the dark on the American peo-
pie. What are we going to do
about it, What are the doctors

Mothers of Grown ups
Should Look to De-
pendence.

Therefore, every woman who is
approaching the age at which her
children are likely to marry and
leave her, should begin preparing
herself to make her own living in
some way If she is poor, and, in
any case, she should resolve that
come what win, she will live her
independent life, apart from her
children, visiting them, and hav-
ing them with her, but having her
separate interests, ana separate
life, for in that way, and that way
alone, can she keep herself from
the SAD lot OF being q woman who
is Elm the way.

7HEN you begin talking
w about the opium habit of
the Chinese people do you
know who started them on this
long lane which has so few turn
ings land those turnings always
downward)?
Those pagan people" were
forced into the opium traffic by
the most orthodox of Christian
nations, the British.
Opium brings England $780,
100000 a year.
At one time a Parliamentary
commission was appointed to In
vestigate the effect of opium on
the Chinese race, and the British
official in charge of the matter
gwore roundly that 1t was no
more harmful than 'twiddling
ones thumbs"
This in face of the awful evils
which result from the drug. To
guch depths will a desire for
financial profit drag Christians.
1t has been said that eleven men
out of every ten" smoke opium in
China. And this habit can be
traced directly to Great Britain.
America is honeycombed with
opium dens. And American So
. ciety, from the underworld to the
unemployed rich, has its hundreds
of thousands of drug devotees.
Ask the messenger boys of any
of our large cities what they
know about it. These boys are
the go-betweens who bring the
drugs to the unfortunate victims
of the habit in dens of vice and
in palatial homes, oftentimes
where the regular employees of
the house would not permit the
poison to enter in any regular
manner. But the messenger boy
can always enter. Just as the
physician can always enter.
In the days of our Pilgrim
fathers and their successors there
was no such thing as a drug
menace. 1t seemed to enter
America during the Civil War.
And since then it has grown, until
It is a colossal evil, aided and
abetted by large percentage of
physicians and helped by drug
gists and virtually ignored by the
church and society.

enough, as so many mothers do,
to give everything she has got to
her children on the suppositlon
that she'll be perfectly happy and
reed nothing, living about with
them.
Children are human and In
lawstare doubly human, and the
minute they have done mother
cut. Of her property they forget
the obligation, and consider her a
burden. Between mother with her
own money and able to make
presents. and mother who has to
be taken care of. is the difference
between a welcome guest and the
woman in the way.
There is no way to keep your
children Gutiful and attentive
equal to having them have a wary
eve on your will.
And I would equally urge the
woman who is in business not to
give up her Job because her pro-
spective son-in-law invites her to
come and live with him. Ante
nuptial and post-nuptial senti-
ments in a man are seldom the
same, and experience shows that
the only possible way to keep'the
peace with in-laws is not to live
under the same roof with them.

her sons or daughters house
jeopardizes the peace and happi-
ness of that home.

follows sickness.
