Women's Votes Would Do Much to Help Humanity
Along Right Lines.

to its effect in the family 1t would be
most beneficial, because men would not
feel they could not talk politics at home,
but must go to the public house or else
where. Suol talks at home would edu-
cate the children to the needs and welfare
of our country. China is awakening to
the knowledge that it must educate the
women IL the sons are to be advanced.
Every woman as well as every man
who buys a loaf of bread or any neces-
sity of life is taxpayer. They carry
the burden put upon them by men and
should have say how this tax, the
root of all troubles, shall be made. When
workers jr political, social. and criminal
fields, such as Louis Brandeis, Miss Jane
Adams. and Judge Lindsey, in fact
nearly all the good men, say that the
votes of women are a necessity, we
might try woman suffrage Things could
not become much worse than they are.

SOME D0NTS FOR
THE TRAVELLERS

Don't talk so all the passengers can
enjoy your conversation.
Don't take strangers into your con-
fidence.
Don't be afraid to inquire the way If
you are bewildered.
Don't wipe the dust off the car win
dows with your elbows
Don't forget courtesy gets better re-
turns than tips. Though this may be
hard to believe, try 1t.
Don't let your children inflict them
selves on your travelling companions.
Don't try to eat everything on the
menu three times a day, II you are
crossing the continent on the train.

The couple who meet on a railroad

and do not stand less Chance Of happi-

When a buckle is required for dress

try this: Cut out the shape you want
in heavy cardboard. Cover it with the
material of which the dress is made and
then trim it with whatever trimming is
being used. A pretty one was made OF

THINGS NEED
THE SCRUB BRUSH

II when washing especially dirty clothes
that have to be rubbed on the board one
would use a clean scrubbing brush kept
for the purpose, laying the garment on
the board and using the brush, instead Of
your knuckles, you will find it a much
easier way and a great saving of the
poor knuckles.
always use a brush kept for the pur-
pose to clean the sink, used with a few
drops Of kerosene. 1t keeps the porce-
lain clean at saving of hands.
1 have one also to use to clean rugs,
using two basins Of water, one luke
warm with a little ammonia, the other
clear to rinse the brush. Going over the
rug a small part of the surface at
time makes it like new, and the work
is much easier than with a cloth.
The only proper way to wash a corset
is with a stiff brush, using in the same
manner.

Philadelphia ice cream is made in the
following way: Three cups cream and
one cup of milk, or one quart of thin
cream, scant cup sugar and a dash Of
salt, havoring. Scald cream and milk or
thin cream with sugar and salt, but do
