; "our life is not a gay one. For
nine days we have camped in wa

tension is frightful and our losses

to fight with such desperation,
especially under the most trying

WASTE PAPER BRINGS $3.50

There are thousands of pounds of
paper burnt in Mexico each year and
the ashes are allowed to sift into the
air and play their part in the eternal
fitness Of nature. However, Alfred
Larsen, the photographer, saves the
ashes of his paper and as a result sold
the accumulation Of several years for
$3.50. Of course most of us do not
burn the same kind of paper as Mr..
Larsen does.
The paper used for Photographic
purposes contains platinum, twice as
costly as gold, also it contains silver
and gold. By burning the scraps of
his print paper and sending the ashes
to be refined the product brings in a
neat sum each year. Silver is also Sc
cured from the water used in washing
both the Photographic paper and
plates and this is also saed. This is
another evidence of the efficient
methods of modern business.

at is a sin altogether to subject
perfectly innocent woman to physi-
cal and mental degeneration without
her consent. One of my best friends,
martyr if there ever was one, has
just died by inches in awful tortures
and never knew. Her pitiful illness
took every sort of form. Everyone
realized what was the matter, yet no
one told the truth to the victim. These
fell diseases of which far too little is
known are fiercely contagious and all
but intractabIe to cure.
"My own feeling is that if human
beings take themselves in hand there
need be no disease. l go so far as to
say that all disease is perfectly pre-
ventable. AS for myself should new
er dream of being anything but abso-
lutely healthy, of knowing that my
children were in perfect health. On
this so-called problem of Should
Wives Be Told?' speak from the point
of prevention.
There is absolutely no reason why
a married woman should not be told
the truth and the whole truth in this
matter. There is no question whether
married woman should be inform
ed of the true nature of the disease
from which she is suffering. There is
no reason why she should not be in
formed of the appalling danger which
menaces her and her children.
Physicians must change their pol
icy-be compelled by law to so
change it. Such legislation would be
a distinct advance toward recognition
OF the fact that the same law of mo-
rality is equally binding on men as
on women"

The open windows gave glimpses of

cat present it is the custom for
physicians to conceal the nature of
certain diseases from their women
patients" said the countess. Doctors
claim that to tell a women of such
ills will not help her and is morally
certain to add to her anxiety. There
fore, they remain reticent-that is
silent. theoretically this policy of
silence avoids causing mental worry
in addition to physical sickness. On
cidentally it prevents causing trouble
in the family, for wifely questions
soon lead to scenes
But in actual practice conceal
ment prevents cure. Noxious things
flourish best in darkness. We fight
