ARE WOMEN GROWING WISER?

(To the Editor.•_ Dear Sir,—Your correspondent “Amelia” Hies too high altogether in hen estimate of woman's wisdom. In my] estimation, a woman’s home, her husband, and her children’s should be hen pride and care. The comfort of tha home and the wants of her husband and little ones should 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 be gauged by thef amount of money spent on worthless and expensive medicines. one is glad to note the universal usfl of a remedy like Bile Beans for Biliousness in this connection. The wisdo-rn of housewives who always keep a box o.f this wonderful vegetable medicine on their shelves is to be commended. Attacks of “the blues,” brought on by indigestion, headache, sleeplessness, OB 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 herselfg husband, or children, to my mind shows much wisdom. “Amelia” may talld about the “bad temper and boorish-' ness 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 preventive of, or cure for, indigestion—and, incidentally, bad temper—would show morel practical wisdom and much philosophising.—CONSTANT READER.
