SAFETY FOR CHILDREN

At meeting of the Chicago Safety
Council a few days ago, the secretary
OF the council announced that 10000
children under 16 years of age are
killed in accidents in this country
annually. Most of these deaths are
preventable, and no city could under
take more worthy work for the
coming year than their reduction.
The teaching OF safety principles
under carefully devised plan In all
Chicago schools, public, paroclial and
campaign for child protection, and II
undoubtedly will do much to reduce
the number of accidents, particularly
on the streets. Similar instruction In
the schools of St Louis has resulted
In considerable reduction.
Children are good spreaders of
propaganda. Aside from learning
safety principles themselves, they
will carry their knowledge home, and
the adults of the community will be
stirred afresh to concern and cooper.
alton.
All accidents are regrettable, those
to children peculiarly so. Whatever
can be done to prevent them Is n
public duty and should also be a
pleasure.

To All Men

AS woman's work is never done
From early morn till set of sun,
We think it is the duty of
All men who really, truly love
Their wives, to try and make her life
AS pleasant and as free from strife
AS possible, and also show
A willingness to aid her, so
We would advise them here and now
To make q January vow,
That, come what may, they never
would
Be- anything but kind and good.
Just make a promise that youll walk
The straight and narrow path, nor
balk hr
At anything that she may ask,
No matter how severe the task,
BY doing which will cause, we know,
The roses to begin to glow
Upon her cheeks, and in her eyes
A wondrous look of pleased surprise.
And in her heart there will appear
The trustfulness of yesteryear;
A joy in knowing that at last
The doubts of other days are past;
That you have finally begun
To do the things you should have
done.
And both your lives, we must confess,
viii blossom forth with happiness,
And you and she will then begin
To be the pals you should have been.

THE MEDICAL WOMEN

Women are advancing steadily in
most occupations and professions, but
in none Is their progress more mark
ed than in that of medicine. Their
accomplishments in the past are but
slight indication Of what the future
holds for them and for humanity,
which will benefit by their services.
Just the other day, two women ply
sicians, one of them assistant to DR..
Simon F1exner of the Rockefeller In
stitute, returned to this country from
six months spent in the interior of
tho Belgian Congo, where they had
dared hardships and dangers innum-
cradle to study methods of curing the
sleeping sickness. While they have
not made the results of their discov'
cries public, they are known to have
obtained valuable information as to
means for fighting this mysterious
and dreaded malady, which has al
ready made its appearance in this
country.
The adventures and accomplish
ments Of these women mark a long
step forward for the medical woman.
For generations the woman doctor
has had to hold her own against pre-
judice and suspicion within and with
out the medical ranks. Today she is
welcomed and listened to with re-
spect in the ordinary lines and also
In research experiment and adven.
ture. Her range in the future will be
determined by her own desire.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 10 Efforts
of the Democrats to enforce an immed-
late vote on the acceptance of the SEN

to 1873.
The "insurgent" Republicans split
on the question, a number voting with
the Democrats against the motion to
table, while others voted to table I'M
der terms of an agreement made with
Republican leaders that they would
not insist upon instructions to the
conferees.
The tax bill with it's S33 senate
amendments then was ordered to a
conference and the house managers
were announced as follows: Reps.
