They need it—for instance, about this: How many families are impoverished by a system of tariff taxation, a system of monopoly ownership of iron ore and steel foundries, and a system of labor exploitation that enables one little man to give away more than a million ordinary men will ever possess and still keep in the ranks of the world’s richest men? If there ever was a country that needed “advancement of knowledge and understanding,” it certainly is the United! States. . Lucky people got Medical Socialism Don't get the idea, because great progress has been made in preventing and curing tuberculosis, that the dread disease will be wiped out in a few years: It takes more of a fight than that, and more of a fight than doctors alone can make. Dr. E. Harlan Wells, of Pennsylvania, expert on tuberculosis, says in an address: “Medical scientists have discovered that the factors con- cerned in the perpetuation and propagation of this disease are overwork, child labor, poverty, want, intemperate use of alco- bolic liquors and narcotic drugs and all the various forms of vice and debauchery, Until these conditions are removed or vastly improved, tuberculosis will continue to claim its victims. When the wealth of the nation is so distributed that each man Teceives enough and no man too much—then only may we hope to see tuberculosis eradicated.” Worrying About Our Women Dr. Alexis Rotofsk! of the University of St. Petersburg and the court of St. Petersburg says American women are overwhelmed with hysteria and killing themselves in a frantic search for new sensations. Isn't it the doctor, rather, who is getting a little wooay and hanker- fing for sensation? Perhaps dodging bombs at the court of the czar has made him nervous. The American women most of us know are pretty nearly all right and carry their heads on the level. Perhaps the doctor has only seen the staple. kind we import.

After the Centuries Wandsworth, England, owes its prosperity to the Huguenots who fled from France in 1685 “to worship God after their own manner, to biish industries and add to the prosperity and credit of the town of adoption.” ‘The fact is recited on a monument erected recently, on the 226th anniversary of the revocation of the edict of Nantes, the event that @rove the Huguenots abroad.

Surely the gods had sent him. He was so good, #0 true and so tender in his affection, Her mother bad always said ber pretty face and figure would be her fortune some day, and now it was about to come true. Nothing had been said about mar- riage, on the first acquaintance ship. He had vowed his love, she ceclares, and spent his money lavishly on theatres and gay sup: pers, It was all new to her. The bright lights and the throngs all had their fascination When Fred, as he always called himself, returned in December, 1909, the old affection was renewed and grew in intensity. The com plaint on file in the district court says he made nightly visits and the theatre parties and brilliant sup: pers were resumed, This lasted for nine months and then in August of 1910 he left for Toronto, Four months jater the child was born, th aint says. The plaintive appeals that he make good his promises of marriage, it continues, were futile and, like many another irl who trusted too much, she was left with her babe and her misery Hogan, the girl charges, had held out to her all the joys of a beauti ful home, Fine rugs, exquisite which she is passionately fond; Servants, a touring car and an elec |trie coupe for Ber shopping expe ditions, spending money unlimited, jewelry and everything a woman's heart desires, were promised her, she says, and more. When she told Hogan her secre! she deciares, he still protested love. This brought hope for awhile, |but it soon died out him with “doping” her with medi. cine, with throwing her downstairs once and with pushing her off the front porel of her bome. He did not tell her that a mar riage was impossible, she charges, until a week before he left. Then, she says, he told her that he was ler an $80,000 bond with his |partners to remain single for five years; that if whe would wait three years he would marry her then.
