Wife's Wages.

"Unless there is specific agreement
or contract between them, allowing the

husband is always entitled to all the

OF the New York Supreme Court. Judge
Mcrschauser did not make the law, it
Is a time honored statute of not only
New York but other States. When suf-

questioned the ruling. Judge Morschauser
replied:

TWILIGHT Sleep Offers Mem
Field for Woman Doctor
Dr. Florence Ward Celebrated Woman Surgeon, Regards
the Freiburg Treatment as One of the Great
Discoveries of the Age

is never restored. We are just realizing
that. Anaesthetics have been worked
out for surgical operations SO as to
reduce to n minimum all resultant in
furious effects to the nerve centers.
Why should we not reduce to a minimum
the pain of childbirth" .
DO you think that twilight sleep
will increase the birth rate?" was the
next question?
DECIDEDLY, yes" said DR.. Ward. Il
am convinced that this il one Of the
great discoveries of the present time
and one that will have far-reachins
results"
y DIR. Florence Ward, who il recognised
as one of the foremost women surgeons
of the country, has spent the last four
monthst studying the twilight sleep
method in New York City. She was in
London last summer at the congress Of
surgeons and was about to proceed to
Frieburg to study the new system
when the war broke out. Prevented
by this state of affairs she returned to
New York. where she has been studying
the treatment at the large hospitals
She is now staying at the Shoreham
in this city and will reach San Francisco
in May. where she will begin with the
twilight sleep treatment in her own
private sanatorium by the first of June.
DIR. Ward is having sRecial equipments
for her sanatorium made in New York
ut the present time. Instead of the
usual white dressings. towels. and EQUIP
ment that one usually sees in hospitals
she is going 10 have a dull shade Of
blue. which does not distract the at
tention of the patient as does the usual
glaring white and. therefore, aids in
producing the calm and quiet necessary
Tor the Freiburg treatment.
rs there future for the woman sur
geon in twilight sleep?' asked the
representative OF the Woman's Herald.
Indeed. there u.s." was the optimistic
reply. Il believe that there is q great
future for the woman obstetrician in this
country. Provided she is sufficiently
skilled in the difficult practice and highly
trained as specialist, there IL an enor-
NOUS opening in the practice Of the new
method 1t will be one Of the special
fields for the woman physician and sur
geon of the future"
The Washington herald., 1915-04-02

The next step in the developme nj
of twilight Sleep said DIR. Florence
Ward yesterday to a representative of
the Woman's Herald, lis to bring ii
to the reach of the middle class wom-
an The very wealthy woman can
have this treatment, and hundreds and
thousands of women of the poorer
classes have had the benefit of ii in
free clinics. But the woman in be-
tween-who has not enough money to
pay for il and who has too much
pride to submit TO a clinical treatment,
is the woman who must be given =
way to enjoy the benefits of this
great discovery.
How is this going TO be brought
about? Just as other achievements in
surgical and medical science are &C
complished-through great endow-
ments which will bring twilight
sleep within the reach OF every one
who needs it. So far the expense OF
the treatment has been prohibitive to
most women. In the first place 1t re-
quircs the undivided attention of the
physician during the entire time Of
the delivery. 1t requires the entire
time of a nurse who has to take the
pulse every ten minutes. and this ne
cessitates the service of two nurses,
one 10 relieve the other. Then there
where perfect quiet and semi-dark-
ness can be maintained. Besides that,
the drug. the morphine scopolamin,
IS extremely eXpensive-especia1ly so
At the present time when the war con-
'iiticn in Germany makes 1t difficult
o get at all.
What if the war cuts off the sup
ply OF morphine scopoamin:'' THAT
would be unfortunate" answered the
noted surgeon. For so far the Ameri
II borator have been unable to pro-
duce sufficiently stable n compound.
II takes the skill and accuracy of the
German laboratory workers to do that.
But Americans would have to do
their best"
Ii is an interesting thing" added
DR.. Ward, her calm gray eyes light
ing up with eagerness, that
America has so frequently taken
up some great discovery like this
just where Germany has left off. 1t
took tho skill and the scientific ac-
curacy of the German to invent this
treatment. But il took the American
man and woman TO see the need of
the twilight sleep treatment. The
German men can sec nothing horrible
in the suffering that their wives en-
dure in childbirth. Their ideal wom-
an is the calm. nerveless. peasant type.
who does not need the twilight treat
ment much as our own women.
But now il is the American man. and
the American woman who are demand
ing this thing and who are going to
bring ii TO its real place.
The motto of the present epoch is
no pain. The great achievements in
surgery and in medicine are at present
ia the direction Of relieving human suf-
fcrin-. VIC are just realizing the great
damage wrought by pain and getting
away from the superstition that there
is any merit in suffering. The loss

Starve-Don't Swat that Fly.

One fly starved now will be some
thousands less to swat later on The in
subation period Of flies begins here the
first week in May. Just at present there
are all sorts of suitable locations III
Washington for this breeding to so on.
From the fly's point Of view they couldn't
be better All that is needed is a little
warm sun, a few humid showers Of rain,
and-presto!-the world will be buzzing
with myriad of healthy specimens of
the winged pests.
From now until the LIST OF May is the
time TO clean DIP, 70 that these favorable
breeding places will not exist, and no onv
needs to be told where these places ar.

From, a very selfish point OF view you
ought TO be glad TO start out in the fly
elimination campaign right now. There
Is little fear that your pains will be take1r
in oehst OF any one but yourself, for,
scientists tell us. flies do not normally
tr:v"l from their breeding place more

cSrclcssness Of others will counterfeit
your good work.
Screens arc all right. It is expedient
sfte.. the fly season opens to keep al
food covered carefully. The baby should
be screened So that no fly can ever
toach him. Fly swatting is work in
The, right direction, Sticky fly paper even
has its uses But these things are SIM
ply suppressive measures. Get head of

is no breeding place within two hundred

did this much Washington could lie the
