ARE WOMEN GROWING WISER?

To the Editor. Dear .Sir, —Your correspondent, "Amelia," flies too high altogether in hor estimation of woman's wisdom. In my estimation, a woman's home, her husband, and her children should be her pride and care. The comfort of the home and the wants of her husband and little ones should be her study. Not only should she meet their requirements when in health, but also when ''out of sorts." To do this successfully requires somo knowledge of homely and effective medicines. Yet, how little real knowledge many women possess- on such subjects may be gauged by the amount of money spent on worthless and expensive medicines. Fortunately, on<? is glad to note the universal use of a remedy like Bile Beans for Biliousness in this connection. The wisdom of housewives who always keep a box of this wonderful vegetable medicine on their shelves is to be commended. Attacks of "the blues" brought on by indigestion, headache, sleeplessness, or some other "little" ailment, are fruitful sources of family unhappiness, and the woman who, by judicious use of this natural remedy, brings an end to these ailments occurring either in herself, husband, or children, to my mind shows much wisdom. "Amelia" may talk about the "bad temper and boorishnesof modern men" as she chooses, but sho should not forget that health often governs temper. A little money spent on Bile Beans as a preventive of, or cure for, indigestion—and, incidentally, bad temper—would show more practical wisdom and much philosophising.—Constant Reader. 1
