However, owing t6 tliv.rapld decline of the race during tho last few decades and the" Increase of crime, Insanity and other diseases, spe cial attention has of recent years again been called by leading medical men, scientists, religious teachers and com missions appointed by varicus nations to Investigate the causes of the almost uni versal physical, Intellectual and moral de generacy to the fact that tobacco Is responsible for mucn that has, in the past, been attributed to other causes. To ascertain, the reel injury to the race from such a habit wo tmist necessarily go to tho third or fourth generation of its devotees. Naturally, the sad havoc wrought by 'tobacco upon tho race is more manifest now than It has been In the past. If you are a parent, a teacher, a preacher or a friend of the boys and a well wisher of tho race, help this Amer ican campaign against the cigarette evil by writing to the Woman' Temple In Chicago, and asking what you can do to push the cause along.

El .irv its x& The Eirtatious Wife Ily DOKOTHV DIX. t A man correspondent asks thin ques tion : "What should be done with a flirta tious wife?" Something with boiling nil In It la about the punish ment to fit the prime In such a case. Many excuses may be made for the f I I r t a t I o us young girl. Bhe la gay and giddy, h-ady with the kense of her own Just realized at tractions for the opposite sex. Hhe Is Ignorant and un sophisticated, and does not appreciate the harm aha may be doing. More over, she la frAukly angling for a husband, and Bit ttve men that come to her net are fish. No such apology may be offereif fftr the flirtatious marritd woman. Bh is old enough to know better. Hho la wise to the ways of the world and realties the Irreparable wrong aha Is doing. Hhe ha her husband. Bhe la not a pot hunter, fhe klsys tor. the cruel pleasure of killing. The titrations married woman la both fool and knave fool because she risks .so-much for so little, and knave because she Is disloyal tn the bread aha eats, and betrays her husband In his own house. The professional adventuress la not so desplcahla a character aa the married woman who usea her wedding certificate aa a cloak of respectability to cover her sentimental affairs with men. The adventuress at least fights in the open, under her own colors, and takes thd risks herself, while the wife hides behind her husband, and carries on her guerrilla klrmWhes from the safe shelter of her home. Which la a nefarious proceeding. and not according to the coda pf civilised warfare between tha sexes. , It should be every woman'a first duty to keep her honor white and her name unstained. This obligation la doubly bind ing upon her when she marries, and voluntarily takes into her keeping a man's honor and a man's name. 8 he should ba avail mora careful to keep them uiiullled than aha did her own. A woman may conceivably have a right to do as she pleases with her own. It may ba her privilege to throw her pearls In the mud If she fancies, and trample them underfoot, but nothing could con done her fnult If sho threw away the most precious Jewel that a man had, and that he had trusted to her. The black treachory of bringing disgrace on a name hat had been given reverently Into her keeping should ba eitough to mske any married woman with a gleam of honor. or honesty, or common decency In her soul, run straight. Cnfortunatuly there are many women whovn vanity Is so great It outweighs their principles, and for the sake of be ing flattered and for tho pleasure of listening to a few lying, sentimental speeches they are willing to be also to the vows they have made and bespatter the names they bear. And the name of this woman la Mrs. I-egion, for tho Cllitallous wife Is a tiioro common figure thou we like to ndmlt. Not nil of the alder stepping from the straight and narrow path is done by hus bands, even In the most respectable. church-going circles. It's a good thing for tho Integrity of the home that Caesar doesn't aiwaya know a'l that Caesar's Ifa does, nor all that the nc'golior bay of Mrs. C Of course, the flirtatious wife Justifies lierself by saying that lie:' little affairs are perfectly Innocent; that thers's no harm In a littlo spooning In the twilight with Fomo man who regularly drops In to tea when her liuehund Is at business, or In her meeting some man alu:ot by accident In the park or at luncheon, or n the writing and receiving of senti mental notes. It ! true that she wouldn't have her husband averhear any of these tete-a-tete conversations, or have one of the letters drop Into his hands for world, but that's Just bacause John Is so ahsnrd rl'l ridiculous and obtuse that wouldn't understand. Hut sha's (iult sura there's no harm in her flirting a bit, because she will know where to flop, uul when to draw the line. Which sometimes happens and sometimes doeon't. but a womau's knowing tha psy. etiological moment In wtilch to call off a flirtation doesn't Justify her In It. On the other hund It condemns her the more, be cause some excuse Is to be made for the indlt-crctlon of a married woman, carried away by arvoverwhelmlng passion for a man not her husband, but none is to be made for the disloyalty of the ule who is being unfaithful merely to titillate 'her egotism by being admired by men. Any nuu-rled woman who flirts, who seeks or recerves the attention of strange men. Is unfaithful to her marriage vow. There Is no half way place In loyalty. It gives everything ar nothing, and there ar few husbands who would cere t keep tha body of love after Its soul had fled. And the amazing thing about tha fllr. tatlous wire Is her folly In risking sa murh for so little. I hava In mind this minute a woman married to a man who adored her, and who lavished the most -beautiful and tender attentions upon her. In addition, being wealthy, ha gave hen " fine ton and country houses, automo biles and horses and rarrlagas, diamond and coetly clothes, everything that montf rould buy. This woman had nearly grown children and apparently all that heart could desire, except an Insatiable craving ' for the admiration of many men. Bhe was one of the flirtatious wives. In truth, her flirtations never went be.. yoiiu eiiiiineniu iuu muu igiiere ano. m liew orchids from her admirers, but on flna day the husband overheard another man making lova to Ma wife, and a , search of her desk revealed a pile of lova ' letters, such as no married woman should receive:, and tha result Is that tha one adored w-lfe has lost husband and chil dren, and wealth, and I now an axil from home, living on a moderate pen' slon. ' hers, as many another finds hers anblng In Reno. Tha flirtatious wife Is the worst 08 traitors ,to her sex because aha must elthor prey on other women's husbands, or else robs soma girl of a husband, and makes every man afraid to marry by lowering in his area tha standard of womanhood. , ' In Kentucky they toll tha story of a) plain mountain woman whose husband was elected to tha legislature, by and by the mountain woman came down t tha capital, and observing with horror - mo ti m m ui uiv Tvuiiieu in eupillgucMeoj solefy, she announced her own coda of ethics In dealing with men. "I don't pester na woman' husband, sha said, "and I don't want no womaa pestering mine." Which Is a good motto for all married women. Agussiz 'Fessed Up 3 The late Senator Frye attributed hlr robust health to correct habits and fond nesa for sport end th world outdoors Two months each year ha enjoyed at hi camp by the ltangeley lakes and tha keen delights uf the rod and gun. IC there was) one achievement of his Ufa of which ha was Inclined to boast It was that of hav ing caught th largest square-tailed trout ever taken with a tly. ''-' ., J " Horns time after, at a dinner, this boast was challenged by no less an authority than Prof. Agasslz. The great naturalist asserted that I he Main senator Waa la error, for It wai a scientific fat that no truo trout ever attained the weight mentioned-seven pounds. The following season the senator waa fortunate enough to catch an elgh-puund specimen of tha same species, w hich lie packed In lea and sent to Prof. Agasslx. The professor acknowledged his defeat In the following' laconic, line: "The theory of a lifetime kicked to death by a fact!" "That," commented Senator Frye, "U the only case I have ever heard of In which a theorist ever paid tho slightest attention to a stubborn fact." "Too Worldly" J I'ollce Commissioner Waldo of New York was talking about the proper ob servance of the Uabbath. I believe In a proper observance of th Babbalh," he said, "but I should hat to see us go to such lengths aa prevail In certain sections of Vermont. "A friend of mine Is passing his va cation In Vermont. lie Is staying with a rich farmer, one of his boyhood mates. Dear me, what strict Sabbatarians they are in those parts!
