Dr. Schlapp Hlames Kestless En- 1
erjfy for Alarming Decrease in j
Birth Rate. !
The liutTiun family is breaking;
itself down. We are developing
a wnmahood thai is becoming free
of the instinctive desire for moth-
hood and frequently without the
capacity for it. The racial strength
of reproduction is declining.
In an article entitled, ' 'T he l-n-emy
at the Clare," Max (i. Schlapp
head of the department of neuro
pathology in the Post Graduate
Medical School and Hospital,
sounds a warning to the women
who are being inlluenced by the
high tension under which society
now exists and adds: "Never h.is
the world done its work under
such high tension as today."
"The mistress of his home has
as many engagements as the mas
ter," says Dr. ScFilapp. "The
woman who belongs to clubs and
societies, serves on committees,
attends meetings and negotiates
business deals until she trembles
from excitement, of it all is spurred
on by a restless energy that is due
to disregard of mental and physical
hygiene.
"The birthrate drops, and of the
children born the portion of those
infirm increases, so at last we are
confronted with the proof that the
high speed effort of our daily lives
has brought suffering not only up
on ourselves, but upon our chil
dren. "Free women as one might
term women of well-to-do families
are impelled by unremitting ex
ample and perpetual commotion of
activity. VC'e have here the first
explanation of the abnormally ac
tive woman. Gentle women, nat
urally retiring and unassertive, be
come suffragists and suffragettes,
and ' land boldly on a soap box in
a public j.qiure before a motley
throng, to proclaim their demands,.
"1 he tame women, dtivcii by
the exigencies of the hour, approve
such uniduct oil the part of their
sisters us that of breaking up meeting-,
storming and instilling public
! men in the Miens, throwing stones
land smashing windows These
conditions are only an evidence of
a nervous distress that has become
universal. "
s
Bad Spells
"I suffered, during girlhood, from womanly weakness,"
writes Mrs. Mollie Navy, of Walnut, N. C "At last, I was
almost bed-ridden, and had to give up. We had three
doctors. All the time, 1 was getting worse. I had bad
spells, that lasted from 7 to 28 days. In one week, after I
gave Cardul a trial, I could eat, sleep, and Joke, as well as
anybody. In 8 weeks, I was well. I had been an invalid
for 5 weary years I Cardul relieved me, when everything
else failed."
CARDuI Woman?Tonic
If you are weak and ailing, think what it would mean,
to you, to recover as quickly as Mrs. Navy did. For more
than 60 years, this purely vegetable, tonic remedy, for women,
has been used by thousands of weak and ailing sufferers.
They found it of teal value in relieving their aches and
pains. Why suffer longer? A remedy that has relieved
and helped so many, Is ready, at the nearest drug store, for
use, at once, by you. Try it, today.

The young nun breezed into the

"I met your daughter yester

The old man turned to his card

"Which daughter?" he inquired.
The young man consulted his

"It's Miss Fthel. "
"All right," said the old man.

WHAT WOULD YOU TAKE?
What would you take for that soft little head
Pressed close to your face at time for bed;
For that white, dimpled hand in your own held tight,
And the dear little eyelid kissed down for the night?
What would you take?
What would you take for that smile in the morn,
Those bright, dancing eyes and the face they adorn;
For the sweet little voice that you hear all day
Laughing and cooing yet nothing to say?
What would you take?
What would you take for those pink little feet,
Those chubby round cheeks, and that mouth so sweet
For the wee liny fingers and little soft toes,
The wrinkly little neck and that funny little nose?
Now, what would you take?
"IN THE SWEAT OF THY BROW." I
kuskin's Idea of a Satisfactory
Life.
It may be proved, with much
certainty, thai God intends no man
to live in the world without work
ing; but it seems to me not less ev
ident that he intends everylman to
be happy in his work. It is writ
ten, "In the sweat of thy brow,"
but it was never written "in the
breaking of thine heart" "thou
shall eat bread." And 1 find that
as, on the one hand, infinite mis-;
ery is caused by idle people who
both fail in doing what was appoint-1
ed for them to do and set in mo
tion various springs of mischief in
matters in wnicn tney nave no
concern, so, on the other hand, no
small misery is caused by over-;
worked and unhappy people, in
the dark views which they neces
sarily take upon themselves and
force upon others, of work itself.
Were it not so, I believe the fact
of their being unhappy is in itself
a violation of the divine law and a
sign of some kind of folly or sin in
their way of life. Now, in order
that people may be happy in their
work, these three things are need
ed: They must be fit for it; they
must not do loo much of it; and
they must have a sense of success
in it not a doubtful sense, as
needs some testimony of other
people for its confirmation, but
sure sense, or rather, knowledge,
that so much work has been done
well, and faithfully done, whatever
the world may say or think about
it. John Ruskin.

Oh, better than all the wine is this .vater from my old well;
Crystal and cool as dawn and filled with the magic spell
Of dreamy and lovely places, and charged with bubbling light
Spun by the sun forever in the old well's loom of night,
It will not fill me with anger, and it uill not make me wild
To curse and starve a woman or abu-.e a little child.
Oh, belter than all the passion and the inward burning, men,
Is the medicine of beauty the lips can taste again
in a cup of this clear water, that neither bites nor kills,
But cleans the dust from the spirit, and helps you dream of rills
In the pleasant wayside places uf ripening grain and fruit,
Where man is less a moloch and a little less the brute.
Yea, have it, and peace be with you, as it is to every soul
That knows the worth of the water whose crystal currents roll
In a stream from a noble mountain, and over meadow and plain,
Till it sinks in the ground to bubble in my old well again !
It will not sling you and stifle and make you into a beast,
But drink, and you'll think you've tasted the dew of a holy feast!

THE WORLD IS WAITING FOR YOU-
The wold is waiting for you, young man,
If your purpose is strong and true;
If out of your treasures of mind and heart,
You can bring things old and new,
If you know the truth that makes men free
And with skill can bring it to view,
The world is waiting for you, young man,
The wotiJ is waiting for you.
There are treasures of mountain and treasures of sea,
And harvest of valley and plain,
That Industry, Knowledge and Skill can secure,
While ignorance wishes in vain.
To scatter the lightning and harness the storm,
Is a power that is wielded by few;
If you have the nerve and the skill, young man,
The world is waiting lor you.
Of the idle and brainless the world has enough
Who eat what they never have earned;
Who hate the pure stream from the fountain of truth,
And wisdom and knowledge have spurned,
Bui patience and purpose which know no defeat,
And genius like gems bright and true,
Will bless all mankind with their love, life and light,
The world is waiting for you.
