 To keep the hands soft and white, it is necessary to protect them when doing certain kinds of work. Dish washing can be done without keeping the hands in the hot, greasy water. Use dish-mop, or put on rubber gloves. The dust which one must en- counter in various kinds of house work can be kept from the hands by wearing old gloves, which should be loose. This also protects the nails. If hands must be put into hot water, it helps much to grease them first with white vaselfne. Water takes the natural oil out of the hands and makes the skin dry, so does ex- posture to cold.
 The wrinkling of the skin of the hands is due, as I have already said, from the loss of oil. The remedy is to grease the hands often. It is not very pleasant to wear gloves at night but nothing will improve the hands so much. After washing them in very hot water to open the pores. rub into

Denver's women politicians are as corrupt, as dishonest and as disrep- utab1e as Denver's men politicians and that is not a sIandePous statement because it is true one. At the same time it must be borne in mind that the good women of Denver who vote, and there are many of them,-see as little of the women political leaders as the average good male citizen any where sees of the male political lead CTS. Which is to say, the masses of women who vote are not necessarily in the dark lantern class.
 Not long since the women of Den yer cast many votes for one B. B. Lindsey in the belief that he had discovered some terrible political crime. They were sincere, and it was the first, last and only time they have ever gotten together to benefit the community with one stand-together vote.
 Furthermore, in a community where there are as many women as we have here, it is part of our political game to keep the newspapers lined up where we want them on the suffrage question. And any time they break over all we have to do is to whisper to the big department stores to whis- per to the advertising agent of the of lending paper-and To and behold, that paper gets back into line and does it in a hurry. That is why Editor Pat terson is so keenly supporting the cause.
 If wasn't dead tired and sick of the whole nasty political business, wouldn't mix in this fight to the extent of writing this lengthy ep1stle to you. But I am sick of 1t all, because it is next of kin to White Slavery, and the world should know 1t. At least the good women nf ffa Ir0rTH ahnT1I1 lrrnxv 1t, and they should also know that the quicker they back out of this political mess the sooner they will get back to clean motherhood and pure life

 The one thing grown-up cannot do is to alter the size of the hands, as this depends upon the bony structure If mothers take care of their chill dren's hands they can do much to make them shapely and keep from growing large. By this I do not mean that mothers should incu1cate in their children vanity, but many children in their play stretch and deform their hands unnecessarily. They pull their fnger-joints in order to hear them h'crack' which should not be permitted. Misunderstanding and fin ger-sucking not only deform the mouth, but enlarge and deform the thumbs and fingers. have been ask ed about the enlarged joints which are the results of rheumatic and gouty de- posits about the fnger-joints, which, in extreme cases, give rise to very great deformity.

These have been the despair of the medical profession; for when the chalk-l1ke deposits are once made they cannot be lessened or removed, although every kind of treatment has been tried. But they can, in meas ure, be prevented if taken in time. The poisons in the blood can be coun- teracted by taking mineral alkaline waters, or bi-carbonate of soda, and by great attention to eating, digestion, and avoiding constipation. Food, while nourfshing, should be simple. Wines and liquors should be avoided, and sugars in the form of sweets and candies should be taken sparing1y if at all If one belongs to rheumatic family, such a person should not wait until the fingers begin to grow large to avoid this trouble, but should take the matter in hand from the very be- ginning. Carlsbad salts are very use- full in this connection. A teaspoonful in glass of hot water, slipped before breakfast, will be found very bene- fcial. Work which brings a heavy strain upon the fingers is apt to de-

A s am asked to write this article in a spirit of Breezy
 Criticism of the Woman Suf-
 frage Movement,' I VIII begin at what I deem most unfortunate sign of it's existence,-a lack of toler- ance on the part of the Woman Suf- frage leaders, and in newspaper re ports.
 One must discount the report of all Anti-Sunrage news now-a-days,-and the published accounts of any anti speaking in private or public are hardly recognizable as the message from the platform is so distorted or isconstrued.
 The reporters are generally Social Ists or Suffragf5ts, and they cannot disguise their personal feelings when reporting an Anti-Suffra agist's speech. As they generally face me when I am speaking, their eyes Hash and their temper is soon evident, and then I know what to expect in their report.
 In a large Eastern city last week said that personally had not met cook that cared to see vote, as they were generally foreigners, and rare 1y understood our customs and condi- tions. Nearly all of the reporters wrote that I was a 'ssnob,'' saying I refused to go to the polls with 8 cook
 An editorial in one of that city's | comes we1l-clad and well-fed woman to speak of her sisters in any such contemptuous manner
 The first lecture of our National League for the Civic Education Of women of which am the founder, was held December 4, 1908. A great many Sufragists attended the lecture, and had the pleasure of literally holding Mrs. Bowman Wells down in herNseat, as she is a Suffragette, and was bent on breaking up the meeting. l begged her to put forth her venom in my left ear, instead of letting her cry aloud, and after Mrs. Ida Husted Harper had sent her a note she con- tented herself with one or two out breaks at Lyman Abbott, and then began to write furiously on a piece Of paper.
 A letter from President Roosevelt was read from the platform, and in 1t he showed very conclusive1y that he was not in favor of Woman Suf- frage- Presto, change! The Suffra- gists were aroused. That same day they had called mass meeting in Carnegie Hall in the evening, and some pretty hard things were sIung publicly at the antis. But the climax was reached when the great Suffrage leader loudly proclaimed that in con sequence of Rooseve1t's indifference to the woman suffrage question, the President of the United States was 8 tree-toad," and the Suffrage audience broke into wild applause.
 Of another Suffrage leader, it was with difficulty that one recognized in

mother why she had become a Suffra- gist she said, Because I have two daughters, and need society for their sake. It is well worth while to know the Four Hundred. A charming little woman (not rich) said Mrs. Belmont is so nice, and so noble and moral, that need to be under her leadership" A letter received week ago reads as follows:
 q resign from your Anti-League be- cause you represent the selfish and wrong women of the country. l am proud to state that I am under the leadership of Mrs. Belmont, the best example of American womanhood; 8 woman whose saint1y life, majestic hefoism and high loftfness of thought is beyond criticism. Would that all other New York women had lived her pure and simple life."
 There are many women who believe or think they believe all thiss and

It is more fortunate to observe that most American women are in the home, and nothing could induce them to leave it, but it is equally fortunate to observe that there are thousands of splendid women who are making a @fWoman1y Sphere in places other than the home, and they do not need the ballot to make themselves felt and recognized.
 There was 8 woman who was known as "The Angel of the Tombs," as the result of her marvellous work done there.

ness of purpose. Their loyalty to a cause is what makes it's imprint. It matters little where her endeavor is placed as long as it carries and works for the good of mankind and her felIoWman.
 Suffragists invading "the home" with discomfort are creating far greater danger to the State than most people realize. The "home' will be changed but little. But if Suffrage comes the burden, will fall on the State, and confusion, complications, expenses and miseries of all kinds would soon clog the machinery of our great State and municipal Govern ment.

this poIygamous State-woman's self respect did not change this evil and it is still said that polygamy will con tinue in Utah,-1ust because women exercise a political power, and they enjoy polygamy.
 Fancy what would be said if Utah were ti-Suffrage and poIygamy pre- vailed. The Genti1es are heard from at some elections, but the Mormon church is a great political power, and is surely heard from when they have an axe to grind.
 How often the Sufragist scofIs at the Anti-Suffragi agist's mention of the Indirect Inf1uence.' Yet the Antis have silence re1oiner in watching the indirect results of a vote. Could anything be more vague than the in dividua1 vote? While with primaries, caucuses, party politics, a single wo- mans expression must be swamped by the thousands of prOnaiscuOus votes that are cast at any and all elections. Ma1Orities carry the voice at the pOOlss and women must always still look to the men to help them.
 The manner in which our Suffrage friends accept any and all statements given them by their leaders deserves severe criticism. They rarely inYesti- gate any of their declarations. For instance, citizenship does not entitle man to vote, yet Suffra gists cry 1%ACe N1ae%" SC AS |ISA ~S'1et%N@ N@A @A7Ht-
 Taxation does not mean representa- ton with an unqualified universal sui frage, yet thousands of women say they should vote because they pay taxes,- men do not, why should women? En- lightenment and more education such as we give in our League is what most women need. We give facts, not Anti-Sufrage arguments, and that is why we are not even liked by most of the suffrage women in our State. But our good work is growing. Our motto is Truth" our emblem is the American flag, and our pass word iH 'fToIerance.''

they never noticed Suffrage when the old leaders were at the head of the movement. Such Is the power of fashion,
 The movement will have great in1- petus on account of this element, and it will be felt throughout the land. The Suffrage movement will help many climbing women to wedge them selves into society by joining Mrs. Belmont's association.

Uear Madam :-
 The records show that more than 50 per cent of the registered voters of Denver are women. This being un- deniab1y true, does it not seem more the part of wisdom than vaIor that a bunch of cheap politicians like Gov ernor Shafroth, Justice Steele, Editor Patterson, should rush valiantly to the protection of this mass of voters whenever the occasion offers?

Tate Lippert, the bundle of muscle
and science that Kansas City pro-
duced, was toy in the hands of Fred
Dummy West in their second meet-
ing at Osgood, Mo-, Saturday night.
The Ottumwa grappler pinned the
shoulders of the Missourian to the cail-
vas twice in seventeen minutes, and
aside from winning a purse of $500,
won himself a place in the hearts ri
the Osgood wrestling fans. The first
fall was made in nine minutes with n
head scissor, and the second went to
West through his superior strength
alone. A body hold that Lippert was
unable to emerge from downed him in
eight minutes.
West is anxious to meet DR.. B. F.
Roller in handicap match in Ottum-
wa, as he believes he can win from
the Seattle physician. West says that
he has developed great deal since
going to Sheldon, Iowa, and that his
work in northern Iowa has made him
a much better wrestler than he was
last winter.
West leaves today for Shelton, but
will return If he can secure a match
with Roller.
