about Washington are to have a re-
prieve. DR.. Wiley is to be married
and the young gentlemen he has
been industriously stufing with va
rious doctored victuals hope that
during the honeymoon, at least, he
'will forget them. The head of the
Bureau of Chemistry, better known
as the pure food expert, Is consist
ent in this late surrender, however,
for he is to marry the young lady
said to be the best cook in Wash
ington's younger set.
She is Miss Alice Kelton, who is
employed in the law division of the
Library of Congress, and is a daugh-
enthusiastic suffragist, belonging to
the non-military wing of the suf-
frage army, will soon be admitted
to the bar, and between times has
bad leisure to practice with chatting

found the chief of the pure food

Friends of DIR. Wiley declare that

spring at Miss Kelton's home,
at 1871 R street, where she lives
with her mother.
DR.. Wiley blusaed like a girl when
he was confronted with the facts,
and admitted them. AS he turned
back to his desk he seemed to be
gently smacking his lips.

 The Wife No Longer Dead in Law.
 It certainly cannot be said that the married woman is now "civilly dead" for in the year 1900 there remained but seven states in which married women did not have control of their separate property and the right of married women to make wills had been extended throughout the United States. The divorce laws have been modified and are much less one-sided of pioneers uttered their protest in 1848.
 Guardianship Of Children.
 South Carolina alone grants no di- vorces for any cause whatever. The laws affecting the guardianship of children, while vastly improved, still leave much to be desired, for Colorado, Connecticut, Illinois, Iowa, Kansas, Maine, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Nebraska, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Washington, and the District of Columbia alone make mothers co-guardians on equal terms with fathers Mrs. Catherine Waugh McCulloch, legal adviser of the Ma tional American Woman Suffrage As sociation, is authority for the state ment that in Idaho, Utah and Wyom- ing, mothers are actually co-guardians by reason of powers invested in them

 School Suffrage for women prevails in some form in Arizona, Colorado, Connecticut, Delaware, Florida, Iowa, Illinois, Indiana, Idaho, Kentucky, Kansas, Michigan, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, Ne braska, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, North Dakota, Oklahoma, Ohio, Oregon, South Dakota, Utah, Vermont, Washington, Wyoming and Wisconsin-3O in all.

minute poisonous substances which, when turned into the blood-steam, poison the human being himself. These bacterial poisons, according to their several natures, produce the well-known symptoms of many danger ous diseases.
 In the household, germs are to be routed with scrupulOus cleanliness, wholesomeness, sunshine and pure air In any kind of dirt or putrefaction bacteria are likely to lodge and there reproduce, ready to be transferred to the human system and work incal culable harm. That is why the dirt that is overlooked in corners, which hides beneath carpets or is wedged into the cracks of floors, is a source of danger. Such dirt can be rendered practically harmless by the use of germicides and antiseptics, and by plenty of sunlight, for it is a we'll established fact that the direct rays of the sun are fatal to bacteria.
 Depends on Digestion.
 In the human body the degree of evil success with which bacteria can attack depends upon ones health. If digestion be perfect, nourishment

cloth, or in drinking water itself, are destroyed. It has been contended of ten, by scientific men, that boiling does not kill the spores of such germs as reproduced in that way. It is prob able, however, that such spores as escape the boiling have lost most of their vitality.
 Not all germs are harmful. On the contrary many of the normal pro- cesses of the body depend upon the presence of beneficial bacteria. Other bacteria are useful in the industrial processes, such as cheesemaking, hide-tanning and the "ripening" of natural fertilizers. Wherever there is putrefying decay of flesh, vegetables or plants, bacteria are at work, per forming the beneficial labor of con verting spent organic materials into substances that can be used again for the maintenance of life in one of it's varied forms.
 Germs Feed on Surroundings.
 How do disease-causing germs work in the human body? Bacteria, like all plants and animals, feed on their sur roundings. Disease-germs secrete within themselves many kinds Of

It would be difficult to con- ceive of anything simpler than these bacteria-a fact lost sight of by illus traitors for sensational Sunday news papers, who often delight to portray the germ" of some particular dis ease as weird and awful looking animal. with head of terrifying aspect and legs that give one the "creeps" Such silly drawings perpetuate the ignorance that they pretend to il- lumine.
 Bacteria Multiply.
 One of the most marvellous char acteristics of bacteria is the speed with which they multiply-a few hun dred such germs within a few hours becoming as many millions. This re. production of species is brought about in a most primitive way A single bacterium grows in size until it Splits" and becomes two bacteria This goes on indefinitely and rapidly as long as the bacteria are surround ed by enough food.
 The easiest, surest way of killing bacteria is to boil them in water for at least twenty minutes. Thus the germs on suspected dish, utensil,

 He has created a false public sentiment by giving the world diff ferent code of morals for men and women, by which moral de1inquen- cies which exclude women from so- ciety are not only tolerated but deemed of little account in man.
 He has usurped the prerogative of Jehovah himself, claiming it as his right to assign for her a sphere of action, when that belongs to her conscience and to her God.
 "He has endeavored, in every way that he could, to destroy her confi- dence in her own powers, to lessen her self-respect, and to make her willing to lead dependent and ab- ject life.
 Now, in view of this entire disfran- chisement of one-half the people of this country, their social and relig- ious degradation view of the unjust laws above mentioned, and because women do feel themselves aggrieved, oppressed and fraudu- lently deprived of their most sacred rights, we insist that they have inn mediate admission to all the rights and privileges which belong to them as citizens of the United States.
 'In entering upon the great work before us we anticipate no small amount of misconception, misrep- resentation and ridicule; but we shall use every instrumentality within our power to effect our ob- ject. We shall employ agents, cir culate tracts, petition the State and National Legislatures, and endeavor to enlist the pulpit and the press in our behalf.

 In the fortfes seven occupations only were open to women, viz:- household service, keeping boarders, work in cotton factories, needle work, teaching, book-binding and typeset- ting.

But when we refer to germs we usually mean bacteria, and these latter are plants, invisible to the naked eye, and consisting of but one cell each. These plants are closely related to, though distinct from, yeast cells and molds. A bacterium is therefore to be con- sidered as a minutely small fungus, being simply one-celled plant, con- sisting of an outer membrane and the protoplasm, or living matter, that it

 In the four States where women vote they are eligible to public office on the same terms as men, and may serve on juries; in some of the states where they have school suffrage they may serve on Boards of Education; in others they may be County or State Superintendents of Public Instruction, and in Kansas they are eligible to municipal offices.

 for themselves? Did they have . clearly-defined purpose when they met in that memorable first "woman's rights" convention at Sen eca Falls, N. Y., in 1s48? Let the fol- lowing from the Declaration of Senti- ments adopted by that gathering, be the answer to these questions:

 "He has never permitted her to exercise her inalienable right to the elective franchise.
 'eHe has compelled her to submit to laws, in the formation of which she had no voice.
 "He has withheld from her rights which are given to the most ignor- ant and degraded men-both natives and foreigners.
 Having deprived her of this first right of citizen, the elective fran chise, thereby leaving her without representation in the halls of legis- lation, he has oppressed her on all sides.
 "He has made her, if married, in the eye of the law, civilly dead.
 "He has taken from her all right in property, even to the wages she earns.
 "He has made her, morally, an ir- responsible being, as she can com init many crimes with impunity, pro- vided they are done in the presence of her husband. In the covenant of marriage she is compelled to prom ise obedience to her husband, he becoming, to all intents and pur- poses, her master-the law giving him the power to deprive her of her liberty and to administer chastise- ment

 He has monopolized nearly all the profitable employments, and from those she is permitted to fol- low she receives but a scanty re- muneration.

IN the average mind there is good deal of uncertainty regarding the H nature of germs. While we all
 know that they are something bad" general knowledge of them doesn't go much further. Undoubted- ly this .z because the average reader thinks he couldn't understand much about the matter, anyway. Much to the contrary, the general nature of germs can be made plain within the limits of short article.

 Who can say just how much of this phenomenal progress is due to the ef- forts of women who for sixty years have labored so unselfshly in the cause of woman's emancipation? Per haps the suffragist is disposed to claim too much. Perhaps the "Antp is willing to concede too little.

Editor Douglas Island News,
 Dear sir:-l would like 10 announce through the News that the gold medal awarded the Douglas Island Womeu's Auxiliary has been received. And 1 would also like to announce that have examined said medal very carefully and have failed utterly in finding any thing suspicious" on same, which dis putes the assertion made by the Irish War Cry across the way "that there was something suspicious about the medal" The only thing that did dis cover that puzzled me was a blank space on the reverse side of the medal, presumably for the insertion of a name. And l would suggest that "Buttinsky" be engraved ou said blank space and said medal presented to the king of buttiuskies as warning not to meddle in something he knows nothing about.
 Further l would like to say to the women of the Islaud. also co.wOrkers in auxiliary, that ] should be pleased to have them call at my home and see this medal, which represents some very credjtabIc work done by a few women ou Douglas Island, and the medal is a very arsistic piece of work. And l personally am pleased that our auxiliary was awarded the gold medal.
