Must Guard Health.


Must Guard Health.
"One of the first duties of a gov

people, for as long as community is
greatly afflicted with disease the com.

people have little happiness.
"The state pure food and sanitary

Women are the ~inher:to:Z 1f the

They have more sense than men, for
the simple reason that man has

to be a fanatic. The normal man
all over the world is hunter, or q
fisher, or a banker or a man of let
tiers, or some silly thing. If so, he
has to be a wise hunter or a wise
banker. But nobody with the smallest
knowledge of professional life would
ever expect him to be wise man.
But his wife has to be a wise woman
She has 20 have an eye on everything
