nature endowed woman with a higher vital resistance to fit her to be the nourishing mother of the race? If this be true, we must no longer refer to her as the weaker sex
 Dr. Burr says that if it is true that strength of woman, which appears only during the later years of life, is due simply to the fact that she does not poison herself as man does. Man, according to Dr. Burr, is doomed to drug-slavery that spells premature senility and race-degeneracy.
 pr. Burr asys that if it is true that certain poisons have a special affin- ity for certain organs that induce deleterious changes in the cells and tissues of the vascular system by which the span of life is materially shortened, a knowledge of this fact should be widely disseminated among the youth before injurious habits are acquired.

NOTED FRENCH WOMAN DEAD.

PARIS, May 31. = Madame Jane Dieulafoy. author, explorer, cheyalier of the legion of honor and possessor of the unique privilege accorded by the French government of wearing male apparel, is dead.
 In the sixty-five years of her life Madame Dieulafoy passed through ex- perienees which caused her to be re- garded as one of the most remarkab ble women in France. She was born in Toulouse and was not out of her teens when she married Marcel Auguste Dieulafoy, young engineer. He went to the front during the Franco-Prus- sian war and took his bride with him. She disguised herself as a man in the regulation French uniform and fought by her husbands side.
 In the sos NJ. Dieulafoy was com missioned to go to Asia for archae- logical research. Madame Dieulafoy accompanied him and spent several years in Chaldea and Persia. They discovered the ruins of the palaces of Darius and Artaxerxes.>
 After returning to France Madame Dieulafoy, who had become accustom- ed during her travels to the constant wearing of mans costume, received authorization to appear in public in this apparel. She wrote many books on historical, araelogical and romant- ic themes.

WHY WOMEN LIVE
 LONGER THAN MEN
MEN RUIN THEIR VITALtTlES EARLIER IN LIFE THAN
 WOMEN.

Women live longer than men, ac- cording to Dr. Albert H. Burr of Chi cago, who refers to vital statistics compiled from reports of the 1910 fed eral census, according to which there were under years of age 1000 fe- males to 1076 males. This ratio in favor of the males steadily increases for each succeeding five-year group, with only two slight exceptions, up to 50 years, when it reaches a maxi mum in the age-group 50 to 54 inclus- i've, showing a ratio of 1000 females to 11S3 males. From this highwater mark in the preponderance of males the tide begins to ebb until at the age of 70 the majority is reversed in the ratio of 1033 females to 1000 males, and at 100 years there were 1875 fe- males to 1000 males. In the state of Massachusetts in 1897 there were 35 eentenarians, 30 of whom were wom- en. In this connection Dr. Burr says:
 We should bear in mind that in 1910 there were 2,692,2SS more males than females in our population; so that, other things being equal, male centenarians should far outnumber fe- male centenarians. How shall we ac- count for the fact that more females than males reach TO years and that they make the century-run in an ac- celerated ratio?
 The experience of life insurance companies confirms the census re- ports as to the superior vitality of women. Statistics given in a recent number of an insurance journal show the average duration of life after 10 years of age was fl years for males and 46 for females"
 authority on arterio-sclerosis and it's relation to life insurance, is quoted as saying:
 Though the average duration of life has increased during the last 50 years, there has been an actual in- crease in the mortality rate among males between the years of 45 and 65, and one-third the total deaths be- tween the ages of 55 and 65 are due to diseases of the heart and blood vessels.
 But why should more women live to old age than men? In average virility, stature, weight and physical power they are inferior to men. We should naturally expect the life en- durance of the male to surpass or at

sRYAN's FIGHT ON WILSON.

William ]. Bryan Is to make an
ocean to ocean campaign against
President Wilson's national defense
program. He has definitely decided
to "go after" the president on the
stump and will not stop until he has
spoken in every city OF importance
from New York to San Francisco.
1T can be stated psitiyely that
Mr. Bryan will go before the country
in opposition to President Wilson's
defense yiews.' said an Influential
Bryan member OF congress Monday.
Mr. Bryan is convinced that the
president has misin'erpreted the TEN.
per OF the people on this issue and
he will endeavor to allay much OF the
alarm the president spread in his re.
cent speechmaking tour"
Mr. Bryan is not without a consid.
cradle following throughout the coun-
try. The mistake he makes is In sup.
posing that this country does not need
to safeguard itself in times like these.
The good he can do is this He can
keep us from falling under militar.
istic spirit. In this connection. we
think the Republican members of the
house military committee did the
country a good turn when on yester.
day they told the president that they
favored strengthening the national
guard and empowering the president
to draft II into the regular army In
time Of war There is no need to
turn the country into military camp
Some increase In the army may be
advisable-very little, however. All
of our spare money should go to the
navy.

we are bound to admit that he has an
