\&?0(Y)en Lack of Thoroughness Fault in Women By ELLA W HEELER WILCOX. (Copyright, 1916, by Star Co.) Lack of thoroughness Is one of woman's greatest faults. It is a sur prising fact that few women who read pre able to correctly state the mean ing of sentences which have been clearly expressed by the author. Over and over the proof of this statement has been brought to the attention of the writer of this article. Not many weeks ago an article ap peared on this page regarding the ali mony of divorced wives. The state ment was most distinctly made that the mothers of children should receive money from their divorced husbands for' the support of these children; but it was further stated, and is now re peated, that the woman who is not a mother and whose health has not been destroyed by Indulgences and luxury, lowered her dignity and her self re spect in allowing a divorced husband to support her. Special stress was placed upon the point that divorced women, who ex ploited themselves in public and car ried on romance affairs with other men while being supported by their divorced husbands, dishonored their own sex and disgraced the name of womanhood. This article has brought loud com plaints from many divorced wives, al most Invariably bringing up the point that they possessed children and they saw no reason why the fathers of these children should not support them. Why are women so inaccurate and Inattentive when reading? Before tbey waste time, temper, stationery r.nd postage stamps in writing a pro test regarding an article, why do they not read It carefully and discover whether there is cause for the pro test? One woman writes that she has been married 23 years to a man who began to spend his time and money In saloons during the honey moon and has never discontinued the habit. She has borne him a family of chil dren. and performed all sorts of labor to help maintain the home which he has rendered little better than a pur gatory. Now she Is suing her husband for divorce and alimony for the sup port of these children. This Is quite right and just. A man should support his own children, but the fact remains a fact, neverthe less. that a higher and finer order of womanhood is indicated when a wife refuses to be supported by the husband whom she does not respect sufficiently to live with. There Is something shocking and even more than shocking in the preva lence of fashionably attired and flir tatious divorcees, who pre payinpr their bills through alimony. The wife of a continued drunkard commits a sin when she continues to live with him and produce offsnrinc. An orphan asylum is a better home for children than the home continually frequented hv a drunken father. Fortunately for the world and for the human race alcoholism is on the a——ii jBBBSBBIfiBHp * SHBBBBBBBBSB Cbnduct y v *> Money Without risk or worry you may send sums of any size any distance by WESTERN UNION The cost is as little as the time it takes is short.

MONTGOMERY I Both Phones Third and Chestnut Streets Try Telegraph Want Ads Try Telegraph Want Ads TUESDAY EVENING, wane. One of the greatest event! which ever occurred In the uplifting of the race has occurred during this terrible war in the abolition of drink from Russia. The edict and its imme diately beneficial results have set the whole world thinking, ajid the tem perance wave is touching all shores. In the days of Georgo Washington, the father of our country, drunken ness was fashionable. It is now a dis grace, and the drunken man, either in clubs, drawing rooms, hotels or in the public streets Is less and less In existence. Our schools are doing much in this respect to help eradicate the evil: children are being taught • the injurious effects of alcohol on the human system, and the new genera tion will grow up with a scientific un derstanding of the subject which will be. in itself, a protection. The whole idea of the world seems changing on the subject of drink. In a medical magazine, Dr. T. D. Croth er'i writes a very interesting article entitled "Medical Abstainers Called E'or." The following extracts from his ar ticle would be of universal Interest: "Drinking families who have wine served at the table are beginning to call for total-ahstaining physicians and drop the convivial doctor who is ever ready to join them in the social glass. "A financier who left a large sum of money to a hospital suddenly with drew his legacy. When pressed for an explanation he declared that many of the staff of the hospital were drink ing men, and their work would neces sarily be Inefficient and careless, and in the business world he would not put in any money where drinking men would have any kind of control. It was too risky. "He would renew his legacy, with great additions, If the hospital au thorities would accept it with the pro vision that all members of the staff should be total abstainers. This has been under consideration for the last year. "The president of a railroad com pany found his wife at a seaside re sort being treated by a very eminent expert. At the table he noticed that this physician ordered a bottle of wine and later he saw him take a drink in the bar-room. He discharged him at once, and when questioned by hi.-" friends answered: 'T should not allow a switchman or a towerman on my road to use spirits, and I have given orders that they be discharged the minute they are found guilty. How much more important it Is that I should guard my family from the dan gers of this source.' "Incidents like these are increasing a'l over the country. Medical men trained to give the best service on health matters are called for. The unhealthy, the beer-drlnklng, the al coholic and tobacco-smelling doctors repel the intelligence of the man or woman who is looking for ideals. There is no sentiment in this, and it may not be expressed, but it Is grow ing constantly." Is not this encouraging for the world?

DON'T WAIT Take Advantage of a Harrisburg Cltl v zen's Experience When the back begins to ache. Don't wait until backache becomes chronic; 'Til kidney troubles develop; 'Til urinary troubles destroy night's rest. Profit by a Harrisburg citizen's ex ipirience. William H. Kelley, fireman on Penn sylvania Railroad, 609 Harris street, Harrisburg, says: "About three years ago I suffered a great deal at times from lumbago. I often had sharp pains in my back, so bad that I could hardly straighten up. When I got up in the morning it would be two or three hours before my back limbered up so that I could get around without that stiff feeling. X was bothered at times by weak kidneys and this broke my rest after going to bed. I tried different remedies but got no relief whatever until I began taking Doan's Kidney Pills. The first box gave me relief, and I used about five boxes in all. It has been nearly a year since and I have never had any trouble from my kidneys and have felt better in every way." Price 50c, at all dealers. Don't simply ask for a kidney remedy—get Doan's Kidney Pills—the same that Mr. Kelley had. Foster-Milburn Co., Props., Buffalo, N. Y.—Advertisement SEPTEMBER 14, 1915.
