periods o: more or less duration
when the refined, cultivated and
honu tike virtues were overlooked,

themselves to changed conditions.
The settlements were made by men.

are undergoing a period of transitio
Irom the unconventional to the re

t:ie evidences of that transition. By
a sort of tolerance we allow the law

Women Follow Fashions In
Nervous Disorders as
In Other Things
By Dr. HENRY HEAD. Prominent Nerve Specialist of England
1 SHOULD certainly hesitate to say that the people of today
-icro more prone to nervousness than the people of yesterday.
NERVOUSNESS TAKES DIFFERENT FORMS AT
DIFFERENT TOIES.
Do yon remember in the story books of the last century how a
woman r.-'J to have hysterics every time she had bad news? She
wasn't thought to be doing her duty unless she went into hysterics at
once. W !l, we have practically none of that sort of nervousness
nowadav-. That is confined to kitchen circles, and even there it is
not con-id*. red quite the thing.
Then think of those tremendous epidemics of hysteria of the mid
dle ages. We have none of those now.
THE FORM THAT NERVOUSNESS TAKES NOW IS NEURAS
THENIA. A\D NEURASTHENIA IS MERELY A CHRONIC FATIGUE.
WE LIVE TOO FAST; WE GET TIRED; AFTER AWHILE WE REACH
A LEVEL WHERE WE ARE ALWAYS TIRED. THAT IS NEURAS
THENIA. AND THAT IS ITS CAUSE. HERE IN AMERICA SO MANY
MIDDLE AGED MEN 8REAK DOWN BECAUSE THEY SHOULD HAVE
STOPPED IN THEIR RACE FOR MONEY, AND THEY HAVEN'T
DONE IT.
Then, too, in addition to rush as a cause of neurasthenia and
fatigue, we must consider, from the woman's standpoint, the com
parative Iv LATE AGE AT WHICH WOMEN ENTER UPON
THEIR GREATEST ACTIVITY and plu an important part in j
life. In Jane A u.- tea's day a woman who had reached the age of forty
was not expected to live vcrv long. Now she is just in the prime of
life.

Things We Should
Not Do
By Mrs. HETTY GREEN. Richest Woman In the World
DONT envy your neighbors.
Don't overdress ? that is. don't dress flashily ? whether you
have the means or not. for that will causa envy and jealousy to
be aroused in others. ,?
Don t fail to dress warmly. In cold weather low cut gowns and the
vanity of some women cause many deaths.
Don't fail to go to church. The church needs ; ou, and you need the
church.
Don't eat anything but good, wholesome food. Home Rooking is the
best.
Oon't cheat in your business dealings, tor sooner or later your con
science will begin to trouble you, and later you will worry yourself into
your grave.
Don't fail to be fair in all things, business ana otherwise, and never
kick a man when he is down.
Dont forgrt to be charitable and don't falsify
Don't lorget to take a lot of exercise, ol wnicn wa king s the best.
