Lack of Thoroughness
Fault in Most Women

tho drunken man, either in clubs, draw
ing room, hotels or on the public streets,
is less and less In existence. Our schools
are doing much in this respect to help
eradicate the evil; children are being
taught the injurious effects of alcohol on
tho human system. and the new genera
ton viii grow up with a scientific un-
derstanding OF the subject which will be.
in itself. a protection
The whole idea OF the world seems
changing on the subject Of drink In a
medical magazine. DR.. T. d. crothers
writes very interesting article en-
titled Medical Abatainers Called For"
The following extracts from this
article would be universal interest:
Drinking families who have wine served
at the table are beginning to call for
total-abstaining physicians and drop the
cornwall doctor who In ever ready to
join them in the social glass.
"A financier who left a large sum Of
money to a hospital suddenly withdrew
his legacy When pressed fer an ex-
PLANTATION he declared that many Of the
staff OF the hospital we're drinking men,
and their work would necessarily be in
efficient and careless, and In the bust
ness world he would not put in any
money whore drinking men would have
any kind OF control. 1t was too risky.
He would renew his legacy, with great
additions. II the hospital authorities
would accept II with the provision that
all members Of the staff should be total
abstainers. This has been under con-
sideration for the last year.
''The president of a railroad company
found his wife at a seaside resort being
treated by very eminent expert. At the
table he noticed that this physician or
dered a bottle OF wine and later he saw
him take a drink in the baTroom. He
discharged him at once. and when
questioned by his friends, answered i

snd is now repeated. that the woman
who is not a mother land whose health
has not been destroyed by indulgence
and luxury, lowered her dignity and her
self respect in allowing divorced hus-
band to support her.
Special stress was placed upon the
point that divorced women, who ex-
plotted themselves in public and carried
on romantic affairs with other men
while being supported by their divorced
husbands, dishonored their own sex and
disgraced the name Of womanhood
This article has brought loud COM
plants from many divorced wives, al
most invariably bringing up the point
that they possessed children and they
saw no reason why :he Fathers of these
children should not support them.
Why are women so inaccurate and in
attentive when reading. Before they
waste time, temper, stationery and
postage stamps in writing a protest re-
garding an article why do they not read
il carefully and discover whether there
is cause for the protest? One woman
writes that she has been married twenty
three years to a man who began 10 spend
his time and money in saloons during the
honeymoon and has never discontinued
the habit
She had borne him a family of chill
dren, and performed all sorts of labor
TO help maintain the home, which he
has rendered little better than a pur-
gatory. Now she is suing her husband
for divorce and alimony for the support
o. these children.
This is quite right and Just. A man
should support his own children, but the
fact remains a fact, nevertheless. that
