why? Religion has done its share to
teach wOmankind that suffering is a
part of her makeup because Mother
Eve sinned, and as a consequence
woman has not tried to find the cause
of her ills. Further she has been and
is swayed by conventional styles in
dress and doesn't think or know any
thing regarding the anatomy and
physiology of her body. Man, the
master according to the bible), also
believes it can't be helped and so it
goes.
Physicians, at least the majority,
keep their knowledge (if they have
any to themselves and profit by the
ignorance of humanity and especially
woman. To get to the point, don't
lose sight of the fact that twilight
sleep is removing symptoms instead
of causes. Sweet charity which gives
Christmas dinners to the poor and
let's them get dinners the rest of the
year the best they may might serve
as comparison. Consider the savage
women, the Indian squaw and even
some of the careless foreign washer
women. They have big families and
probably never have any attendants
at all and childbirth isn't much of a.
horror to them. But present-day So
ciety women and cOpyists of society
must have fine shapes and so must
wear tight corsets. Further, they
haven't time to exercise their waist
and abdominal muscles so that ma
lures cOrsets might be strengthened
and the pelvis widened. Again, the
late hours and irregular habits of all
kinds, together with satisfying their
unnatural appetites, causes the body
to lose it's vigor and health and the
whole nervous system is shattered;
the muscular system is undeTtOne.
What could anyone expect under the
circumstances? Why waste our time
looking for relief and ignore the

Being governed by reason, 1 know it

It is plain why society women need
twilight sleep, but it is a pity to go on
living in UnreaIities. There are Sc
runs and drugs for every i'll, but as
we learn more about our bodies and
how to take care of them, drugs and
serums will not be needed. We are
learning slowly that pure air, plenty
Of fresh water, proper drainage,
good nutritious food and hygiene in
general are the real scientific consid-
eratiOns in health. Proper clothing
and physiological gymnastics are
next in order. When sex and the
physiology Of sex are better under
stood there will be a different story.
If a generation will perfect twi-
light sleep I'll wager if during that
generation humanity spend their
efforts in study and improvement of
their bodies and things pertaining
thereto the world will be worth living

SPAIN WANTS OUR COAL

Turns Here For Her Supply az Result
Of British EMBARGO.
Washington. - The British embargo
on coal is giving the coal operators OF
Spain and other countries concern as
to the source Of future supply In a
report received at the department Of
commerce Consul Dawson, at Valen-
cia. Spain. says that. while the coal
deposits in northern Spain will this
year be called Oh for larger shipments.
the low value Of the product is such
that an outside supply must be had.
Railroads and manufactures rely on
the imported coal. and Of late there
have been large importations Of
American gas coal for railroad use
with good results.
The quantity required for heating
purposes among the people is COM
paratively limited. as the climate is not
severe and much charcoal is used. Gas
heating is. however. becoming more
general, and therefore outside coal Is
necessary Before the war England had
this trade entirely to herself, but now
American coal is being imported in
considerable quantities. Whatever
gains American coal may make in the
Spanish market will in all probability
be only temporary. as England takes
nearly all the output Of many indus.
tries in Spain.
