Gotons Demonstration to Emphasize

The American women interested IN
the suffrage movement are much too
dignified to indulge in riOtOuS demon

Nrs. Lille Devereaux Blake, noted
writer on this subject. They can be,
have been, and will be in the future
quite as emphatic in their demands
- their English sisters, but they will
never emphasize their demands by
rieting.
New York will never see women
sunragists hooting and Kissing a
man on the stage because he takes an
opposite view to them.
The movement for suffrage in this
cOnhtry has always appealed to the
Brightest and brainiest women. The
neh! they have made has always been
a'snified and marked by patience and
perssse-ence. They have b.en ob..S-

Suggestions for Rheumatics.
(Ffbm the Medical Record.)

A Haig of London states that under
favorable conditions salicylates cure
irritation and fever due to uric acid
even when such has been precipated
by microbes, but they have no influ-
ence on these symptoms when Droduc-
ed by a septic condition The use Of
alkalies with salycilates is of no ben
eft, but prevents the action Of the
drugs. They require an acid medium
to act in. The salicylates are less
successful in chronic than in acute
rheumatic conditions. The joints and
body. should be kept cool in order to
facilitate their action since the per-
spiration prevents the concentration
Of acids that is necessary to their eff
feet. Precipitation is an aid to the al
kaline treatment. Ice to the joints
is also of benefit. Salicylates relieve
in rheumatism in proportion to their
power of eliminating uric acid COM

THE SIMPLE LIFE
How it Appeals to us Just after the
Festive Holidays

And now for return to the simple
life.
There is no time of the year when
the simple life appeals to us as it
does just after the holidays. What
ever our station may be, it goes with
out saying that We have had too
much self indulgence; that we have
eaten more than we should and of too
rich viands, and that we don't feel
as comfortable as we have felt on for
mer occasions, when our diet was lin
tied and of the plainest kind.
But we go back and try to recov-
er our old equable pulse and our gen
eral feeling of healthful good living
No more turkey for us--not for some
time. The one we had lasted past
! all reason; and SO did the cranber-
ries; and as for the other things that
went with them, we don't care if we
never see any of them again. What
we want now Is some plain break
fast food in the morning, and with
milk, not cream; and something light
for lunch, and not too much of it,
Along in the evening we may be able
to endure the sight Of brOi.ou steak,
or a slice of roast, with herbs; but
nothing heavier; and we have an ar
dent desire to go to bed and sleep at
least ten hours. All this follows Ia
the wake of the holiday festivities
and, however much we may have en-
joyed the merrymaking while it last
ed. we are very glad to go back to
simpler living. Not for worlds would
we have the festivities last the whole |
year around. If they continued for a |
month, we would loathe the sight Of |
us confirmed dyspeptics and hypoch- |
and haters of our kiRl. |
let us be thankful that it |
comes only once year and dO9sn |
last very long.
And this Is, one of the ways prOvi
dence has Of making us satisfied with
our share. The wealthiest man In the1
country gets little more out of his
wealth than we do out of our pcvelt y.
He has clothing and a house to cover
him; and food to eat; and if he eats
o much of too rich food it will make
lim ll,just as 1t does US, who have to
work hard for our Injuries Conse-
luently he confines himself to a sim
