See the Man! SFE the Man! What is the Man doing? The Man is ruining his Con-sti-tu- tion, How does the Man ruin his Con-sti- tu-tion? By a choice collection of bad habits. Doesn’t the Man care for his Con- sti-tu-tion? Oh, yes; the Man is very fond in- deed of his Con-sti-tu-tion. Then why does the Man want to ruin his Con-sti-tu-tion? The Man doesn’t want to ruin his Con-sti-tu-tion. Then why does he cling so te-na- cious-ly to his bad habits? Because he has such a sublime faith in doctors and in drugs. You mean— I mean that the Man thinks that after he has thoroughly ruined his Con-sti-tu-tion, he can go to a doctor who can give him a mys-te-ri-ous con- coc-tion of drugs which will place him in statu quo ante, Will the Man be disappointed? Oh, yes; the Man will be cruelly dis- appointed, as all other men who have made the same attempt have been dis- appointed, It is a great pity, is it not? Yes, it is a great pity, but ar-te-ri-o- scle-ro-sis knows no law. Ellis O. Jones.

Those Modern Wakeful Women 'HE suffragists must be right when they say that women are more awake nowadays than ever before. How can there be any doubt of it? One has to be very wide awake to play bridge and attend the matinee and take the dog out for a stroll and ride around the park in an automobile and eat break- fast in bed and have gowns fitted and endure the terrible ministrations of the hair- dresser, the manicure and the masseuse; whereas, Women of old who merely had to get up before daybreak and cook for farmhands and milk the cows and churn the butter and do all the baking and canning and mind the chickens and make homespun and sew rag carpets and manufacture wearing apparel for the entire household and raise large families, alas, those poor women must have been asleep nearly all of the time! comicbooks.com -
