HOMILY ON WOMEN
SIR ARBTJTHNOT LANE’S VIEWS. CAUSE OF ALL OUR MISERY. INSTRUCTION WANTED, NOT HOSPITALS. (Press Association—By Telegraph—Copyright.) LONDON, January 21. “Women, though so charming and useful, are really the cause of all our misery, degradation, and disease, because they first teach us wrong habits and feed us wrongly,” said Sir Arbuthnot Lane in the course of an address. He added that dark-haired women were unable to resist disease' as easily as blondes. On the other hand, red-haired women had extraordinary power to resist infection of disease. In England they were always trying to collect money for hospitals, which consisted of smelly out-patients departments and operating theatres, where poor people were operated on and dosed with drugs. The money thus collected should be spent in teaching everybody the simple laws of health. People had no more right to be ill than they had to be criminals. —A. and N.Z. Cable.
