Who seek to preserve the home and to uphold honor and decency. • Moreover, there is more than one way of being degraded. A woman may be degraded through the di- vorce court. Yes. She may be more degraded by living with a drunkard, a libertine, a criminal, an unspeakable beast, Tho divorces of fashionable soel- sty, mere subterfuges for fresh amours, are disgraceful and degrad- ing. But the divorce that set? a. fine man on a noble woman free from al' hideous thraldom is a benefit to soniety. --- 011iaeloiesitassassiassasssas RetSv:een Iter divorces and her co sets 'Oa American woman is in a ba Way, The bishops and clergymen a ;, Vmeaa,thensizitig her on divorce and th Cilectoe arca alter her on corsets. • ',Lite divines say that in anothe t: h'iindred years she won't have a ,Ore of morale, and the specialists decla that a,t the end of this century. sit Bwon't havea remnant of lungts, r1+ And when all's said and done, yo know,: a woman without morals aiungs le not a pretty sight, � An eminent, bi hop dot out tela tong the other day and attacked the d voroe' gate,SGloll very, much as h would have handled a polecat.

For whom does Tette dye her hair and paint ber face ? r whom does she trick herself out like a isqua v ? Not for women, surely. Men are e very much to blr m f a or 'tight laking. I'll tell you why. The average man likes a slender woman. He le always talking about a "trial Vwaist' or a "slim, rounded figure." lie refers to a stout woman as "a Sat stab." ee In the books he writee his heroines are ,always slim and willowy. They bend and sway like tall, slender lilies. A ta,t heroine Is Impossible. 1 Slenderness is ajeemed indispensa- ble in society or on the stage. The ? newspapers reek with advice to ,women on how beget thin. And so ,!the poor wretch' who is piling up flesh and knowing that with It are ",going her youth and attraction iresorts to the deadly corset to 1' help restrain her overflowing avoir- f!dupois. She pulls and tugs and 3 straps and laces herself into an outrageous shape, Find all to please ,'some main Or men. J "Woman is the race," declares Dr. ! , Roberto Sangiovanni, "and if she : will not protect herself she should be protected. Look at the Roman women. They aid not use the cor- set, and their physical condition was perfect. They wore Amazons in stature, with strong limbs, large breast and seism:el shoulders. They ware the mothers of a race of !the greatest warriors in the world. :Their sons were learned men and geniuses. Why ? Because the parent organism was robust. That's all right.

He could accomplish more by working for a liberal, universal di- vorce law than by railing at the American woman. Why, is there no- thing on earth the matter with the American man ? Has he no faults, no blemishes? Very few, I admit. As a rule he IS an easy-going, kindly disposed, generous, indulgent husband. But he loves the social glass and he loves the society of women, especially those of slim waists and tiny feet. His wife grows a trifle stout with advancing years and the cares of maternity. He does not mean to be. dishonorable. But -- Of course his wife should` overlook his peccadilloes for the sa.ke of tit* children and the glory of the church„ As a. rule she does. . The American wife does a, lot of eye -closing. I am sick land tired of having wo-' men jumped on for• everything that happens from corsets to divorce. ce And I serve notice on bishop and phyelc- tar, that men have some responsibille ties for both these evils. I want divines to do a. little preaching about the degradation of the American man. And I want doe; tors to teacht men to choose as moth - ere of their children women not of squeezed -up liver and pinched -up pancreas, but those of strong limbs and splendid shoulders an Junolike waists.—Edith Sessions Tupper.

Remedy for the Drink Habit. N. Y. Press. A noviel remedy for the "drink habit"—or, rather for enabling those Who have "sworn off" to re- main "on the w,atcr cart"—consists of ice water drunk through: a raw potato. Take a bowl of ice water and a potato. Peel the potato and cut down one end of it until it can be testis- inserted in the mouth!„ Dip the potato in the ice water and suck it every time a craving for strong drink comes on. It is claimed that this treatment will. effect an absolute, cure. The why and the ;tviserefore are not stated, but the process is such; a simple one that thiere can be no harm in trying it if anyone is afflicted with a thirst which they really and truly desire to lose.; Our Greatest Temptations.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by con- stitutional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous liningot the Enstachtan Tube. When this tube 1s flamed you have a rumbling sound or imper- fect hearing and when it is entirely closed, Deafness is the result, and unless the inflam.. oration can betaken out and this tuberestor- ed to its normal condition, hearing will be destroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which Is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
