WOMEN

“CAUSE OF OUR MISERY.” SAYS SIR ARBUTHNOT LANE TTIS IDEAS ON HEALTH. BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION— COPYRIGHT. Received 9.5 a.m. to-day. LONDON. Jan. 21. “Women, though eo cheering and useful, are realty the cause or all our misery and degradation, and.it is because they first teach us w-rong habits and feed us wrongly,” said Sir Airbutnnot Lane, at a luncheon of the Soroptiniist Club. He added that- dark-hair-ed women were unable to resist disease a® easily as blondes. On the other hand, red-haired women had extraordinary power to resist infection by disease. ’ . In England they were always trying to collect money for hospitals, which consisted of smelly out-patients’ departments and operating theatres, where tlie poor people were operated on and dosed with drugs. The money thus col Feted should be spent in teach ing everybody the simple laws of health. People had no more right to lie ill than they had to be criminals.
