| SOME REASONS WHY.
(By Mrs. Anna Cadoganetz.)


Since the powers that work for
good the churches, the schools and
most other reform bodies--are COM
posed largely of women; and since
the powers that work for harm
the saloon, the gambling places are
mostly ontgrowths Of commercial
greed-are managed by men, how
could society be otherwise than bene-
fitted by granting suffrage to women.
Since the women out number the
men in the churches only in less de-
gree than the men outnumber the
women in the jails and reformator-
les, what logical person neeG fear
that the vast number of good, intel
hgent American women would be
outnumbered at the polls or any
where else? -:
Since the ballot is universally con-
ceded to have been means of defense
in the hands of the 1aboring man
doubt that 1t would have a similarly
good influence in raising the wages.
of the thousands Of poor working
girls in our .cities, who are often
against the greed Of capital; who can
forced to choose between starvation
and the loss of honor?
The hundreds of thousands Of poor
little children working long hours
in factories and mines, surrounded
by conditions dangerous to health
and fatal to morals;. the poor young
girls struggling against impossible
odds to make an honest living incur
cities, are powerless to help them
selves. II life is to be made safe for
the weak and helpless. It must be
done by the strong. who realize the
danger to society from any part OF
it being permitted to live in the
midst Of disease, vice and crime.
Good laws are the safeguard
against bad conditions. This is a
commercial, not a military age. Fin
land has just enfranchised her wO-
men and denied the ballot to her.
soldiers. Questions which affect
modern society are decided by bal
lots, not bullets.
Since all the home interests which,
our grandmothers controlled within
its walls food, water, clothing, ed
ucation and moral conditions
passed alike out of the home, and
are controlled by boards OF aldermen,
State Legislatures, and Congress, the
possession Of the ballot is the only
Wav by which women can remain at
home and have at the same time
voice in deciding the interests OF the
home. 7g 100. ss

There are two hints which will be

knot in the line is kept away from
the pulley. When the wind is blow

over the other line, and SO become

James Archibald McDougal was
politician keen at all election meet

McDougal blazoned forth his views
to everyone he met. At argument
there never was a man to "whack"

of lords, the old-age pension scheme,
the budget, disestablishment, and
every other theme. He shouted for his

Wendell Phillips Driven From Home.
A pathetic story was recently re.
lated concerning Wendell Phillips,
who during the last days of his life
lived alone in his old Essex street
home. The floor Of his room was car
petless and no curtains shaded the
windows, which looked out upon the
many skyscrapers that had closed in
upon the old house, seeming about to
smother the Webster mansion on
Summer street and Church green. The
best days and love-life of the great
orators stormy career were associated
With those familiar rooms and he
pleaded eloquently before the indom-
liable condemnation committee" that
his old home might be spared to him
during his lifetime, offering to leave
1t by will as a free gift, provided he
might end his days in peace in the
room he knew so well. The juggernaut
of building development was not to be
turned aside, even by the touching
plea of his palsied hands and quaver-
ing voice, and the wave Of improve
ment" swept away the home in which
Wendell Phillips had hoped to dwell
in his old age. He, whose ringing
voice and eloquent gestures had
stirred the souls of SO many myriads,
was powerless to influence the men,
bers Of the committee, or persuade
them to stay the wave of street and
city renovation which surged upon
him in the sere and yellow winter of
his life.-Joe Mitchell Chapple in "Af-
fairs at Washington" National Maya

FAT PEOPLE, TAKE COURAGEl
Writer In Medical Record Denies That
Excess Of Adipose Tissue Is Elk
tremely Harmful.

Pat Is often unappreciated or mis-
understood and unduly blamed foT
sins of delinquencies of other body
foods. From ID to 20 per cent. of each
healthy body is composed OF fat and
Its chief sources are the starches and
sugars, though certain fats are direct
ly utilized.
The weight OF present opinion is IN
favor of the view that fats are com.
pletely decomposed in the intestine
and that the fatty acids formed are
absorbed, either as soaps or in solu-
ton brought about by the bile.
AS a source of energy for the de-
velopment of heat, fat may be de-
scribed as quickly available, but not
so lasting as some other substances,
declares writer in the Medical
Record. BY it's concentrated fuel

force.
Moreover, by its presence the pro-
TEN Is better enabled to do It's work
In tissue building and as a storage of
energy for emergencies it is of great
Importance. The last material use of
fat is to serve as a protection of the
body from injury and cold 1t forms
an outer cushion for the frame.
From an aesthetic standpoint the
physiological and orderly distribution
OF fat In the connective tissue makes
all the difference between beauty and
ugliness. In considering the psychic
role of fat we should specially bear in
mind, G.. NJ. Miles says, it's reserve
function IN relation to active vital
processes. A liberal deposition of fat
is one Of natures wise precautions To
enable us to bear some of the trials of
life. 1t has been known from earliest
antiquity that fat people are more con-
tented and optimistic than lean ones
and the supply Of fat may be com
pared to the ample bank account of a
busy and provident man.
Miles says that he believes he Is
correct in asserting that a physiolo-
gical reserve Of fat by it's very pres
ence eXerts a quieting and reassuring
influence on the vital forces most con-
cerned in constructive metabolism,
while its lack leads to physical dis
content and unrest, which sooner or
later reacts on the disposition, de-
veloping into that pessimism and tenn
peramental discomfort so often seen
in lean people.

monopolized by man. Since training schools are

A number of Vienna girls have declared that
they will go in for bridge building others want to
build machinery and IL the enthusiasm keeps up

1t is remarked on all sides that the opening Of
the training schools to girls came none too soon,
for the sedentary habits to which Austrian women
were condemned resulted in a less prepossessing
grace. Now that Austrian girls. like American
girls can make the best OF their opportunities
