WHAT MAS BEEN the EFFECT or EQUAL
SUFFRAGE IN COLORADOY
MARTHA A. BUSHNELL CONNIE,

MARTHA A. BUSHNELL CONNIE,
Member Of tie Legislature Of Colorado
III trying to determine the effect ol
equal suffrage would il not be we'll ia
consider few Of the objections most
frequently urged against it, and decide
whether or not these objections have
been sustained by the facts in the case?
Take, for instance, as objection No. !,
"Men would lose their respect for wo-
men. A woman running for ONCE
would be liable to assaults upon her
character, and campaign would nec-
essftate her coming into contact with
disagreeable and degrading conditions. .
Ny own observation and experience
do not in the least sustain this objection.
On the contrary. our whole campaign
was very pleasant experience. The
men with whom we came In contact
treated US in precisely the same man.
ner which prevails when men and wo-
men meet In society, in church, or
elsewhere. say unhesitatingly that
waiting in line at the stamp window at
the postoface near Christmas time is
much more disagreeable than anything
which came within my experience
during the whole campaign. There
were the names Of thirty-three women
candidates on the ballot at our. last
election, but, notwiths tanding the fact
that this has been the most exciting
campaign in the history of our state,
not one word derogatory to the dignity
Of anyone OF those women appeared, 50
far as ! know, in any newspaper in the
state. Not only this, but personal
abuse Of man candidate Is tar less
common than of old, his fitness for the
Office being discussed now upon his
supposed ability or his past record.
Objection No. 2 ''Woman would
lose her love for domestic avocations,
her children would be neglected, and
home would no longer be attractive 10
parents or children.
Answer. A true woman's home Is to
her the first consideration on earth.
Very little else should be required Of the
mother Of young children than their
proper care and training, but the
mother Of young children is by no
means the only woman. There are the
single women and the mothers whose
children are grown to an age whore
they no longer require her constant

the people to the character and progress

the forces of industry in this republic,
and further think that the very fact
that the minority are minority will
give double power TO alarm the people

A Real Room.

For the bathroom and toilet table
borax is entitled to place to which no
other article can lay claim. Itrefreshes
and invigorates the system, removes
all unpleasant odor of perspiration, Civ

it soft and white when added in the
bath water. For washing the face it
is better than soap, and, if used regu-
larly, will keep soft and white the hands
of even those women who must of neces-
sity do rough work. AS wash for the
hair borax has long been regarded as
the best and most harmless lotion. It
removes dandruff, stimulates the scalp,
and preserves the beauty of the hair.

Happy and Contented Deaf Children.

It is generally supposed that the deaf
have tendency to moroseness and
melancholy. This is least true of the
orally educated adult, and among the
children in the oral schools is not true
at all. know of no happier or more
contented lot of children than are to
be found in these schools. The visitor
who expects to enter place of silent
halls, quiet playrooms and noiseless
yards is much surprised to hear peals
of childish laughter and cries and
shouts as the children romp and frolic
out of school hours.-John Dutton

Standard of the World.

? For nearly two score Of years the Win
chester has been the standard rife Of the
world. It is found in all lands and it is al
ways very highly thought Of on account
OF its accuracy, strength and durability.
There are over two million Winchester guns
in use to-day, but the makers have yet to
learn of any dissatisfaction with them.
Such recommendatio as this should con-
vince everybody Of the exceptionally high
quality Of Winchester gums. Winchester
ammunition is Of as exactly as high a
standard and always gives entire satisfac-
ton; When used in Winchester guns the
results obtained cannot be eaualled. Send

HEATING ROOMS.

Necessary Precautions for the Preservation
of Health.
Living and working rooms, where
the occupants are actively engaged,
should have thermometrica1 register
ranging between SO degrees and 6s de-
grees F.; for sedentary habits, from
"a degrees to 70 degrees F.; bath
rooms, 70 degrees to rs degrees F.,
these records to be varied at different
hours of tho day or night, with due
consideration to the given amount of
sunshine or shade bearing upon the
rooms.
Students of hygiene quite generally
maintain that coal containing any con-
siderable amount of sulphur contami-
mates the air extensively and unhealth-
fully.
A thin layer Of coal on stove or fur
mace CRATE bars gives better results
than when unduly overloaded.
A small stove or furnace crowded to
overhead is not as economical of fuel
or as considerate of health as are larger
heating facilities and less use of fuel.
Open CRATE fires, while they furnish
an element of coed cheer, are not as
economical of fuel as are multitudes of
the close heating appliances. For pur-
poses of ventilation, the open methods
of heating have decided advantage
over the closed ones.
Self feeding heaters are generally
considered as mediums demanding less
attention and less fuel than those
drought up by hand"
All warmed rooms in winter should
have arrangements for the use of good
quantities Of fresh water basins daily.
Ordinary steam house heating appa-
ratus should have a register pressure
of not more than five pounds of steam
to the square inch.
Radiators neither take in nor drive
out bad air, and have no elements of
ventilation whatever. Avessel of water
holding prominent place in rooms
heated by radiators is always desira BILE.
Hot water heating gives a moister
tone to the air of the room than dry air

SHE ATTACKED AN OFFICE.

Dut q Look ut Her Face Convinced
Her Husband She Had Failed.
DR.. Jones was sitting at the break
fast table when the postman called and
deposited on the plate, among his let
tiers, an ordinary express tag covered
with postmarks and strange inscrip-
tions. Mrs. Jones took possession of the
tag and scrutinized it with deep per-
plexity.
"For goodness sake tell me what this
is, George" she said, at length.
Her husband glanced at it back and
front.
1T appears to be a splendid official
exemplitication of how not to do it, he
replied. ut is addressed to me and there
lisa two-cent stamp affixed TO it, duly can
reading: Received without contents.

scription is sent to inquiry department,

"But what does it mean?'
"It MEANS" continued the doctor,

property, calmly throws the onus OF
proof on me-"
"Just what I thought! Something
lost! Now, what are you going to do
about it?''

"Not at all unlikely"

"Quite impossible"
"And you don't care a bit! Well, if
that isn't like man! However, I'll see
about it. They can't overawe me with
their circumlocution and their how not
to do it, I'll go down there atonce."
Mrs. Jones walked all around the cor.
ridor on the second floor of the federal
building three times before she found
the inquiry department. There were
several people there before her and she
had to wait over an hour before her turn
came at the window. Not one of her
predecessors looked happy as he turned
away.
"Can you throw any light on this %
she demanded, in tone of concentrated
scorn, handing the tag to the clerk.
mot unless you can give description
OF the package" he replied.
But neither Dr. Jones nor myself
ever saw or heard of it, she protested,
losing courage rapidly in the musty
official atmosphere:
The clerk shrugged his shoulders.
"Haven't you a stray package here
that I could look at?" she concluded
desperately, thinking of the diamond
ring.
"Oh, yes, lady. Thousands of 'em.
And we've got them all neatly wrapped
up. And some day they'll be auctioned
off,"
Mrs. Jones did not say another word
but a glance at her face that evening
convinced her husband that she had as.

A SOVEREIGN REMEDY.

An Al1-POwerful Remedy in the Matt
ter of Painful Bruises.
The other day woman in a country
town was dismayed by the appearance
OF her young son, borne into the house
by friendly hands, and suffering from
one of the common accidents of chill
dren.
In coasting he had managed to fall
in such way that one leg was caught
between two swiftly -moving sleds and
was, in consequence, dreadfully bruised
and now rapidly becoming discolored.
His mother remembered that one of the
summer boarders, whom she had enter
tanned six months before, Philadelphia
doctor, had told her to use hot water
for such disasters. Here was an oppor-
tunity to try the remedy.
She Immediately plunged the wounded
member into foot tub of water as hot
as the child could bear, and added more
from time to time, as it cooled. This
treatment was faithfully carried out,
with such rapid effects that by the next
day the little fellow was walking about
the house, and able to use his injured
leg, not freely, but enough for purposes
of locomotion-
It's entire cure was a matter of very
short time, and it is not to be wondered
at that that family now "swear by" hot
water as linament. It will be found,
used in the same way, equally eficacious
for intlammations, for sprains and should
be called upon in any such emergency,
and if the swelling is very bad, add vim
