Girls" said Or. Wiley, you can do
much toward making this a better coun-
try. Above all things. conserve your
health Learn to cook. Learn to make
healthful dishes so your chiidren-and
the children are the most valuable OF our
resources-may have pure food
Live in the open, take plenty OF eyer
| else, learn to cook. That is all the ad-
vice I'm going to give you, because I've
found that the women Of tais country are
right, as a rule, anyway, and women
don't like advice.
You women mold public opinion
once thought otherwise, but now I know
| that It is true Whether you are going
to get into politics or not is another thing
i hope you do, PERSONAL---VERY. whether
you do or not, each of you is going TO
have one vote. Tell him how to vote and
he will do it.
Have a Sacred Duty.
Il begin to doubt a mere mans func-
ton in life when I see such a scene as
this want you to realize, though, the
Importance of being a woman. What does
II mean to you?
What does il mean to receive your
parehments and the blessing Of the apos-
toic delegate2 Young women. it means
that to-day you have received a sacred
duty. Have a good time by all means, but
remember that you always have that duty
| to humanity before you.
1--WE have heard an artistic programme
Of music and the finer gTaces That Is
not wasted. 1 have no patience with the
man who says il is. We are too apt
nowadays to be bowed down before the
almighty dollar Let us have some art
and culture. and then get the dollar We
/ must learn that the real happiness comes
from inside and is not to be bought
