Moreover, when a woman asks her
husband to assume her job in addi-

him handicap that is very apt to
make him a loser in the race of life.
The average man is no Sandow. There

his resources.
There are no commoner or more
pitiful tragedies than those of the men
who break down at middle life, just
when they were ready to reap the
rewards of years of faithful labor, and
many and many of these tragedies
might have been averted If the men
had had wives who had understood
the value of conserving their energies,
of strength on anything but the essen
tiaI industry of their own careers.

The railroads are limited to net
earnings of 6 per, cent on the value Of
their property. AT the same time they
must pay the government 6 per cent
interest on their Indebtedness for
equipment furnished. But the govern
ment itself borrows money at a rate
below per cent. In other words it
uses its power to exact from the roads
a higher rate than 1t pays. The roads
appear to have few friends.

According to sworn statements and
