ARE WOMEN GROWING WISER?

To the Editor: Dear Sir, — correspondent, "Amelia," flics too high altogether in her estimate of woman's wisdom. In my estimation, a woman's home, her husband, and her children should bo her pride and care. The comfort of the homo and the wants of her husband and little ones should bo her study. Not only should she meet their requirements when in health, but also when "out of sorts." To do this successfully requires some knowledge of homely and effective medicines. Yet, how little real knowledge many women possess on '. such subjects may bo gauged by the amount of money spent on worthless and expensive medicines. Fortunately, one is glad to noto 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 cither in herself, husband, or children, to my mind shows much wisdom. "Amelia" may talk about the "bad temper and boorishness of modern men" as she chooses, but she should not forget that health often governs temper. A little money spent on Bile Beans as a preventative of, or cure for, indigestionand, incidentally, bad —would show more practical wisdom and much philosophising.—Constant Reader.
