 Tn this knack of turning all sorts of modern things to good use the Germans are like the inventor who visited the cap italist and said:
 I've got an invention here that will make both our fortunes. It is an alarm clock that we can gnuarantee-that we can positively guarantee--for it will make every purchaser jump out of bed like a shot"

our young lady stenographers are so

thing, but if no one tried to live bet
ter life, tried to relieve and help suf-
fering humanity, or uplift at least
himself if not his neighbor, should
not like to think of the sort of world
this would be.
It's useless to try to shut our eyes
to conditions. They are awful, and
for myself can't think of any sOlu-
ton to this great question, except the
solution of the great economic ques-
ton. And that does not, alas, seem
near. But l know if we taught our
children that this was NOT a ''neces-
sary evil" as it is often called, and
raised them with the right thought
concerning this in their minds that a
very great part of the trouble would
pass away.
Let me ask, Why, if this is law Of
nature Cif this must be because God
made man so), did HE the omni-
scient, forget to make the nature Of
woman the same as mans? If it is
of God it must be good, else it could
not be of God. This privilege, instead
of being sacred, to perpetuate and
better the race, is a source of lOath-
ing and disgust to most women be-
cause of its misuse and abuse, not to
mention the misery and unhappiness
it causes. Would an ALLOWING Father
create in mans nature that which
could not be expressed save through
the loss of the lives, purity and good
ness of thousands upon thousands of
women? And the men not suffer at
all? Above all, He is a just God.
We all have a different conception
of Gods ways and means, but don't,
because you want an excuse for be-
ing as icentious as the evil in you
Unrestrained demands, and. don't
want to try to control it, or try to be
better because other men aren't, and,
anyway, there must be sin, you know;
again ask, DON'T say it's Gods will.

A WoMAN's OPINION.

A WOMAN'S OPlNlON.-I cannot
suppress my indignation when read
articles like some worthy gentleman
wrote to The Day Book the other day
concerning prostitution. He refers
us to the Bible saying: God created
man and woman so why try to stop
nature?" If our friend will study his
Bible he will find that this privilege
was given man for the purpose of re-
production only, not to be abused and
made the vilest and most disgusting
of passions; the greatest evil in the
world today, causing more suffering,
disease, misery and unhappiness
than any other thing in the world.
The gentleman asks: Can man over
come the nature that God put there?"
If you must find an excuse for over
indulgence in this vice, please don't
blame God for it, rather MAN, who
has made this thing what it is. You
cannot say a Good, ALLOWING, All
wise God put a low, wicked, evil de-
sire into mans nature. Man put it
there himself! The one decent thing
he can do is to take the blame for it.
The article further says that no one
is perfect and there MUST be sin in
the world, there always has been, al
ways will be. Of course, if that is the
way to look at life it's a different
