cent. were returned.

largest cities the vote was: yes, IL:
no, "A.
sary therapeutic agent?" the vote

largest cities the vote was: yes, II;
no, "A.
One hundred and fifty-seven physi-
clans reported cases of unneces-
sary suffering or death from the
prohibition of alcoholic liquors; 544
had no knowledge of such cases.
One hundred and fifty-eight physi-
clans stated that the prescribing of
whisky was found advisable; 449 stat
ed they had not found it advisable; SO
found it advisable to prescribe beer:
487 had not found it advisable; "A
physicians found it advisable to pre-
scribe wine; 4S9 had not found it ad-
visable.
Regarding the restriction of physi-
clans in the number Of prescriptions
for alcoholic liquors, 502 were in ia
vor of some kind of restriction; 204

Der Of prescriptions which physician

hold federal permits. OF these, 1872
simply voted in favor of restriction
without specifying any limit; 40 were
in favor of absolutely prohibiting the
physician from prescribing; "a were
in favor OF allowing the physician to
prescribe from 1 to so times in three
months; 81 favored a limit of from
81 to 100 prescriptions in three

Five hundred and twenty-one physi-

disagree and the law decides.

THE WAY OF A WIFE.
She wasn't hungry, SO she said. salad
and cup of tea
Was all she felt@-that she could eat, but
it was different with me-
I'm rather hungry" I replied eff you
don't mind. L think I'll take
Some oysters to begin with and a good
oldfashioned sirloin steak"
Now wives are curious in this. to make the
statement blunt and straight:
There nothing tempts their appetities like
food upon another's plate;
And when those oysters six appeared she
looked at them and said to me.
Just let me try one, will you, dear ?" and
right away she swallowed three.
On came the steak, and promptly she ex-
think I'd like bit Of it" The game is
one 1 understood
cut her off healthy piece and never
whimpered when she said:
stNow Just a few potatoes, dear, and also
let me share your bread"
She wasn't hungryi She'd refused the
food I had been glad to buy,
But the meal which came for me
know she turned hungry eye;
She never cares for much to eat, she s
dainty in her choice, III state.
But she gets ravenous enough to eat what

The PROCESSION of Being q woman
BIZ DOROTHY DIX
worlds Highest Paid Woman Writ

The Profession OF BENG woman.
Just the average woman who runs
a home must be commissary general
who assemblies continually the thou
sand and one different articles it takes
to feed and clothe a family, and make
it comfortable. She has to be priest
who sits in the confessional, a preach
er who listens to prayers, and leads
little souls heavenward, and makes up
the family average of piety, for, as
their religion in their wife'S names
She has to be a financier who makes
one dollar do the work of five, and
who performs feats of money juggling
that would make her fortune on Wall
Street if she were a man.
She has to be a surgeon who can
give first aid to the injured, a. doctor
who is a good diagnostician, and a
trained nurse. She, has to be Sher-
lock Holmes who can sleuth out who
robbed the cookie jar. and which one
started the fight. She has to be a
fearless law giver, and a just judge.
She has to be a diplomat whose tall
ents entitle her to be Ambassador
Extraordinary and Minister Plenipo-
tertiary to any court in Europe in or
der to get along in peace with her
husband, and make him believe that
he thought first of doing the things
that she wants him to do.
In addition, she must be a cook, a
dressmaker, a. milliner, a baby nurse,
a Kindergarten, a coach in all of the
ologies and foreign languages for her
school boys and girls, and, as if this
were not enough, she must know how
to dress like a daily hint from Paris,
how to dance, and play cards, and be
an entertaining conversationalist who
can talk about the last book and play,
the new art, and the new music, and
keep up with all of the fads of the
day.
Worse still, she must be beautiful
tho ugly, and never grow fat, or mid
die aged, because every woman is con-
sidered to have failed, more or less, in
the profession of being a woman if
she doesn't keep easy on the eyes.
Nobody expects man who makes a
success of his career to also be a pro-
fessional beauty. 1t does not reflect
on President Taft's achievements that
he has not a straight front figure.
President Wilson's lantern jaw had
nothing to do with his not being able
to put over the league of nations, but
the first thing that people ever ask
about any woman in public life is
whether she has a. willoWy figure, and
a peaches and cream complexion, and
| if she dresses like a mannil1in, and if
| she hasn't, and doesn't, she is the butt
of the ridicule of fools, and her ability
is called in question.
| In business, and the professions, a
woman las not only to do as good
work as a man, she has to do twice
as good work as a man to hold her
place, because she has to justify her
self for being a woman in addition to
showing that she has all of the neces-
sary qualifications for her job.
When you think of all that we de-
mand of women, and that somehow
most of them manage to make good
on all the different COUNTS it max es
you 5wonder why women are held in
such cnnf EN- nj.
