WHY A WOMAN SHOULD NOT

The Pure Food aud Industrial Ex-
hibition being held at Armory Ball will
learn the house keeper many lessons.
The queen of the home 10 generally mis-
lress of every condition that may present
itself, and she, above all Others, should
attend this exhibition. Most people
think that II is intended for man to pre-
serve aud protect our country aud its in-
situations, and for the wOmau-COd
bless her--to protect, preserve and nur-
lure our homes. The home needs the
good mother, because she is the one to
fashion our being and guide the footsteps
Of the future man in the path of good
citizenship. Man is out in the world
subjected to the temptations and vicis-
siludes OF our daily life, and too frequent
~ be does things that If he was home,
like the women, be would not do, because
the home duties and responsibilities run
10 a different channel. Now, If be has
the good, homelike wife and mother to
greet and welcome him on his return,
what has been bad or Objectionable to
him in bis daily intercourse with the
outside world is forgotten and soon fades
sway, aud by having such a helpmate
the seed Of evil that may fall on him
will not terminate. But if the woman
is to be out 10 the world and subjected
to the trials and troubles the same as
the man, who then, will be the means
OF Masking our homes what they should
b,? Keep the woman what she should
bs-better than the man. A good wo'
man Is always better than good man,
and 8 bad woman is always worse than
a bad man II the woman is to vote,
she will be tempted very often to do
wrong. Ia order to be registered, it Is
required of you 10 give your correct age,
and to give 1t every two yesrs, because
of new registration. viii the woman
give her correct sgtY II she does not,
then she is tempted to do wrong at the
very beginning. Let no one help to
lead her to temptation. If she wants
to benefit the home she should attend
The Pure Food Show at ArmOry Hall
and then learn tangible lesson ia
housekeeping.
Tonight the F. j Kramer Floral 90.
