V|Pg|DIan Has Chance for The Cam
paIgR Committee Craftsmanship.
CONTEST IS GROWING EXCITING
Many Democratic Members of the
House viii Support Flood When He
Announces His Candidacy APP
poiniment to be Made After Holl-
days.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 19.-Although
Congress has yet undertaken no reg
ular work for the session, being ham
pored by the holding up of committee
assignments by Speaker Cannon.
some interesting gossip has been go
ing on among the members of the
Virginia delegation concerning vnri-
Gus matters.
One of these interesting topics is
the candidacy of Representative
Flood, of the Tenth district, for the
craftsmanship of the Congressional
campaign committee. which will be
made early In January-after the
Christmas recess.
Representative Griggs, of Georgia.
has served for the past two years as
chairman of this committee, and the
race that started some days ago has
already become warm one. 1t Is
understood that Mr. Grigg will he n
candidate to succeed himself, Whine
other candidates are Representative
Lloyd, of Missouri, and John Wesley
Gaines. of Tennessee and Representa-
tive Flood. although the latter en-
phatically states that he will not en-
ter into n scramble for the place. His
position is that If the other Demo-
Gratis of the House desire him to have
the craftsmanship he will accept 1t.
but that he will not go into n fight.
thereby possibly making split among
the Democrats in order to secure the
place.
To be chairman of the Congress
sional campaign committee Is no
small honor, and. in addition. requires
the highest kind of executive and adj
minstrative ability. The chairman
must have an oversight over the Con
Gressional elections in all the stntes
and know what is going on every dis
trict in the United States where there
are Democratic candidates in the
field.
There are many Democratic mem
bers of the House who will warmly
support Mr.. Flood in the event that
he shall determine to become an
avowed candidate. but at the present
time he will not enter into a fight for
the place.

HOW TO KEEP HEALTHY.

Keep cheerful Hunting trouble ruins
more nerves than trouble when 1t is
found.
Keep alert minded. There is nothing
like getting In n mental rut to make
one hypochon,lriac.
Keep clean. The close connection OF
the pores of the skin and good health
is being better understood yearly.
Keep active. The inert. lazy woman
who won't exercise is usually the one
who is always growing about her
health.
Keep your feet warm. More cold is
taken through the ankles than in any
other way, SO do not wear low shoes
all winter.
Keep out OF debt. If there Is any
thing warranted to worry one to death
1t is money troubles. Care will even
kill the nine lived cut. and what gives
more care than bunch of debts with
no money to pay them?
Keep away from drugs The fond
ness of our American women for dos
ing themselves on the slightest provo
cation Is menace to the health of the
race. We deserve everything bad the

A bill to give married women the control of their own earnings in France has reached the stage of the second reading. As things are now. if married woman earns dollar by taking in washing, or thousands of dollars by writing successful novel, every cent of it belongs to her hus- band.

For IA years women have been working to get thiS law changed.
