Pain in the abdomen may be sharp
and acute, and chronic or intermittent.
Abdominal pains may appear abruptly
or by stages, and may terminate with
audiences or by degrees. Pains inside

uncommon.
There Is a widespread error. namely.
that the intestines and other abdominal
structures lack the power TO induce
main: that pain comes from tugging on
the inside abdominal wall. Expert
mental psychologists have a myriad OF
facts now to disprove this.
| Aches, pains, and soreness are now
positively known to be felt not only In

These pains cause the muscles Of the
abdomen to become rigid. This rigidity
is also present In appendicitis. Deep
pressure helps. because even when the
firm muscles keep the hand from push

X-ray photographs give aid to the
observant physician. In many instances
they quickly show ulcers of the
stomach. gall stones or stone in the
kidney as the cause OF the aches. When
gall stones are present .paroxysms OF
pain may appear suddenly and vanish
abruptly. E.
The pain OF stomach ulcers Is re-

Evolution of Woman.
Miss Alice Paul. chairman OF the
Congressional Union for Woman
Suffrage, draws a parallel between
the Lee case and the agitation for
suffrage as showing the evolution
of women.
There is probably no one today
who would question the rightfulness
of woman's claim to her children
being equal to that OF the father.
We can hardly understand the posi-
ton of woman in thu old common
law days, when she had no legal
right to her own children.
This change In the law, with re-
gard to the guardianship of the
children, IL but a part of the long
evolution in 'woman's position. OF
which the suffrage movement is also

Nine. Melba's Plan.

Nine. Melba, who was recently APP
pointed as a Lady of Grace to the
Order of st. John. OF Jerusalem by
King George in gratitude for her eff
forts in behalf of the various hos
pitfalls devoted to the British
wounded, has just made an an
nouncement of the greatest interest
to the effect that she will soon de-
vote herself to teaching young girls
without means how to sing. For this
purpose she will buy an estate near
San Francisco.

year" said the soprano, by the

the last bcneficiaries of the golden
age of song, and what she has to
tell of her method of singing should
prove priceless.

has, as q rule, no desire to settle

Young children demand much

Iou silly child! why should
" your regard for the man be
affected by the hats he wears
or by the cntty remarks OF
your girl friends. You don't know

might be q risky proposition. 1t is
difficult to generalizc In such cases.
Tor everything depends upon the
people. OF course.
AS to the question of husband ana
wife working, that is equally diff
cult to answer l have always
thought that II is better for the
wife to give up her business when
she marrles. unless that business
does not interfere with her house
duties. My reason for this belief
is that man loses some OF MS
sct-respect II he feels that he cam
not support his wife. Once started.
too, the arrangement OF both nus-
band and wife working Is hard TO
discontinue.
