4 Few Facts.

A remedy has been found which
cures chronic diseases: not in every
case, but in a large percentage OF
them. And in cases too far gone
for cure, it affords relief and often
prolongs life. many VINO nave
been given over by physicians have
been prevailed upon by friends to
try this remedy, the Compound
Oxygen Treatment of Drs. Starkey
& Palen, Of Philadelphia, and are
now living to testify to its curative
powers. 1t has been successful in
curing many cases of catarrh, ma
larial fever, hay fever, asthma
bronchitis, neuralgia, nervous pros"
tration, and other chronic diseases.
In these diseases physicians have
had little success, as the name they
have given to this class Of disorders
indicates, but Compound Oxygen
has worked wonders.
There is only one genuine Com
pound Oxygen, and any substance
made elsewhere or by others than
Drs. Starkey and Palen, is spurious

A young woman has written to the
Cleveland Plain Dealer an account of a
visit TO the White House made by a
party of women from Cleveland. She
says:
I'VE passed through the main vesti
bule and grand corridor, and thence
through the red room to the blue room,
where our hostess smilingly awaited us
A great many Of us were very much
surprised when we caught the first
glimpse of her, as we did not expect to
see such a majestic looking woman.
Her hair is dark, and she years it away
from her forehead coiled simply at the
back. Her eyes are blue, shaded by dark
lashes, and her complexion pale, but
not with the paleness of i'll health. She
also has a true woman's sweet smile.
With what feelings we approached can
better be imagined than described. Here
we were trying to realize that the smil.
ing woman before us was the highest
lady in the land. AS we drew nea hen
our names were announced by q chap.

A shrewd business woman in England
herself conducts q fruit and flower
store. She manages her business in u
unique and beautiful way. Her CLERKS
are girls dressed in a neat and striking
uniform. Her trade is in both fresh and
preserved fruits. The glass jars and pots
of preserves are arranged i'm pyramids
and attractive figures, making them look
so tempting that customers Just must
take them away and eat them. The ar
tistic element enters into all the details
OF her enterprise, as well 1t might in a

flower selling. She has all her sex's

ers sold are delivered in spick and span

It used to be said that the children OF

with the cause for which they had seen
so many sacrifices made, but that is GER
tainly not true in the suffrage move

vocate of woman's freedom as well as OF

er, Elizabeth Smith Miller, is a pillar
Of strength to the movement in her
county. TO add only two more instances

of Georgia William Curtis, Is holding
aloft the banner of equal rights in Staten

women Always the Same.

One would imagine from some things
that we read and hear that the Creator
gave to 1924 one sort Of woman and to
1894 another sort. But there Ii no evil
dence that he made the one different
from the other. New types have come
M as unpicturesque as fortunately their
number is few. But womanhood is pre-
cisely the same today as it was in the
time of Eve, different only In minor re-
spects, but exactly the same IN the best
qualities that indelibly proclaim the
true woman. She has broadened intel
lectually. True, but so has man, and we
never hear Of the modern man as being
q creature radically different from his
predecessor by a century's length, and
yet he has changed just as much.-La-
