HAND IN HAND,

Na'
Strive to find each an ideal nobler and more
grand!
Think not that women, gaining their de-
mand,
Will cast their dover of gentleness aside,
Or love you less, because they understand.
But rise and say, "Henceforth
To WOO perfection handin hand"
An occasion of great rejoicing to all
lovers of woman's advancement is the
noble action of the Wyoming Legisla-
ture on February IS. The unanimous
adoption by a body of men of the un-
qualified success of woman suffrage
for the past twenty five years liz the
strongest endorsement possible. And
coming just at this time, when the en-
emies OF the franchise have been de-
handing a retraction of the privilege,
it is an event of no ordinary signifi-
canoe. Here is the resolution in full
cut it out and send it to every doubt
ing Thomas:
BE it resolved by the Legislature of
the State of Wyoming: That the posses
sion and exercise of suffrage by the
women of Wyoming for the past quar-
ter of a century has wrought no harm,
and has done great good in many ways;
that it has largely aided in banishing
crime, pauperism and vice from this
State without any violent or oppressive
legislation; that it has secured peace
full and orderly elections, good gov
eminent and a remarkable degree of
civilization and good order, and we
point with pride to the fact that after
nearly twenty five years of woman suf-
frage not n county in Wyoming has
a poorhouse, that our jails are almost
empty, and crime, except that by stran-
gers in the State, almost unknown, and
as the result of experience we urge ev-
cry civilized community on the earth
to enfranchise its women without de-
lay.
Resolved, That an authenticated copy
of these resolutions be forwarded by
the Governor of the State TO the Legis-
latpre of every State and Territory in
this country, and to every legislative
body in the world; and that we request
the press throughout the civilized
world 10 call the attention of their read
ers to these resolutions"
/ BEER AND INDIGESTION
We find the following remarks upon
the effects of beer upon digestion, etc.,
in the Church of England Temperance
Chronicle, by that high medical au-
thority, DR.. Norman Kerr, F. L. s.
They ought to engage the attention of
all who are in the habit of taking ale,
lager or porter with their meals, under
the delusion that they help digestion,
and that they are healthy and whole
some drinks:
Malt liquors are one of the main
sources of the indigestion so common
in III midst. The continued irrita-
ton of the delicate lining MEMBRANE
of the stomach by the alcohol in even
the mildest beers, persisted in for a
heightened period, is extremely apt to
give rise to a train of dyspeptic symp-
toms, which tends to make many an
otherwise happy life miserable. A
lifetime of total abstinence would, |
am persuaded, have warded off two
thirds of the dyspepsia l have been
called upon to CONFRONT.
"The liver suffers severely in many
cases in which beer has never been
taken to excess. l have frequently
observed considerable enlargement of
the liver in persons noted for their
very moderate but constant drin king,
who seemed the picture of health
while alive, but whose sudden and
unexpected death necessitated a post
norton inquiry.
I'm nursing, stouts and beers are
especially pernicious. Their ase has
wrought untold mischief to many
mothers, and undermined the tender
constitutions Of a vast multitude of
helpless and innocent infants.
II have said nothing whatever
of the damage resulting from beer
drinking to excess, or of the appalling
extent of mental and moral evil in
separable from the general social use
of beer. My warnings are on purely
scientific and dietetic grounds, against
steady limited indulgence in such Ii
quors as are weakening to the system,
and invite govt, rheumatism, dyspep-
STA, and other unhealthy bodily condi-
tons.
''There is no call for us to drink beer,
however moderately. We can enjoy
better health without intoxicating
drinks than with them. Our Creator
neither implanted a longing for their /,
nor provided a supply of them for our
use. They are not, in the true sense of
the word, a food. But though they
can do us little, if any, good, they may
DO us much harm. Many are killed by
them, both for time and eternity, and
even their continued moderate use
tends in the direction of loss of health,
lessening of strength, and shortening
of life.
"Let all, who desire to avoid govt,
rheumatism, and dyspepsia, shun ale,
beer, porter stout, and all other kinds
of fermented and distilled liquors."
