For That Tired Feeling.

An elixir to remove human fatigue
has been discovered by DIR. Walter b.
Cannon. professor of physiology at
Harvard Medical school. The use OF
adrenin. a substance which exists in
the human bdy and can be obtained
from sheep and calves. will accom-
plish in FIVE minutes what two hours
or more rest will perform. Adrenin
as a specific for winded persons lik e
Marathon runners is especially COM
mented n The substance comes
from the adrenal glands. which are in
the region of the kidneys. DIR. Can
non made the discovery through ex-
periments on animals.

while women continue to bear babies
war will continue. Only through
women will come permanent peace.
Every woInan's heart must be
scourged with sorrow and horror
said Mrs. James Lees Laidlaw.
Women have to bear i~ngloriousls
the most terrible burden of the war.
ANYTHING that can be done to end
the frightful injustice that women
have TO bear as one of the by-pro-
ducts of the war most certainly
should be done.
Nothing can ever make repara-
ton for these terrible wrongs II
church and state wish to help then in
heavens name let them, But their
help will not repair the terrible
wrongs. The situation is too over
whelming for mere words To talk
about possible remedies is cruel and
Ihypocritical. There is no remedy.
Marriage by proxy would not alter
the position a bit"
For over three months | have
been thinking deeply on this sub
ject," said Mrs. Arthur NJ. Dodge, the
noted antisuffragist land l have come
TO the conclusion that it is imper-
thence for the women of this coun-
try even TO suggest what should be
done with these babies.
In France, where the women nave
been unwilling victims. l understand
the state will take the place of the
father. but the state cannot heal the
broken hearts of the mothers. Ali
wars have been followed more or less
by problems like this, never have they
been so enormous. Whether they are
or unwilling victims. the poor
women will have to bear their terri
BILE burdens. 1t is heartbreaking to
think that, even if they have the
strength, they cannot get work. and
they most need care they are
it.
Il do not believe polygamy will fol-

This so-called crime of illegiti- !
macy has been far too greatly exag-
