4 FAMILY LIMITATION. the male sperm from entering the womb, you are going to become pregnant. Women of the working class, especially wage workers, should not have more than two children at most. The average working man can support no more and the average working woman can take care of no more in decent fashion. It has been my experience that more children are not usually wanted, but that the women are compelled to have them either from lack of foresight or through ignorance of the hygiene of preventing conception. It is only the workers who are ignorant of the knowledge of how to prevent bringing children in the world to fill jails and hospitals, factories and mills, insane asylums and premature graves. The working women can change this by refusing to supply the market with children to be exploited, by refusing to populate the earth with slaves. It is also the one most direct method for you working women to help yourselves to-day. Pass on this information to your neighbour and fellow workers. Write out any of the following information which you are sure will help her, and pass it along where it is needed. Spread this important knowledge! A NURSE'S ADVICE TO WOMEN. Every woman who is desirous of preventing conception will follow this advice: Don't wait to see if you do not menstruate (monthly sickness) but make it your duty to see that you do. If you are due to be "sick" on the eighth of August, do not wait until the eighth to see, but begin as early as the fourth to take a good laxative for the bowels, and continue this each night until the eighth. Women of intelligence who refuse to have children until they are ready for them, keep definite track of the date of their menstrual periods. A calendar should be kept, on which can be marked the date of the last menstruation, as well as the date when the next period should occur. Women must learn to know their own bodies, and watch and know definitely how regular or irregular they are: if the period comes regularly every twenty-eight days (normal) or every thirty days as is in the case of many young girls.
