LADIES ARE NOW
SIGNING PETITION
Forty-Six Feminine Voters Put
ting Their Names on Appeal
for New Form Government

Somebody did some good missionary
work sunday for the Comnisson-Form
of-Governmenl petition, for yesterday
City Clerk BROKER was kept busy
registering voters, who afterwards
asked for the petition. A considerable
number of these were women who
Wcr" registering for rhe first time
in their lives aud they We're conscious
of the fact. Some Of them did not
see the necessity for so much red
tape. Tor Mr.. Brooker asked them all
sorts Of questions as to their age,
business. place OF birth, etc. but all
answered satisfactorily or else their
names would not have been where
the Herald representative found
them
Monday was surely ladies' day and
the ladies' evidently thought it was
bargain day too, because of the way
they heseiged the long desk of the
good uatured city clerk who had to
stay overtime to care for their needs,
Al the close Of business Monday night
the petition had 12I signatures of
which forty-siX were placed there by
ladies.
There is evidently misrepresentation
on the part of somebody as To the
time allowed for the signing of the
petition AS notice was given out to
some people that only two DAYS more
remained in which TO put their names
to ii. In fact the petition will remain
at the office of the city clerk unit
it is signed bat II is best for the
movement that the necessary number
of signatures be secured in a short
time the shorter the better.

ALMANAC Of NEW
PATTERN IS ISSUED
Instead of Patent Medicine Advo-
cate 1t Is Made a Preacher
Of Health

one of the most venerable Of family
without much publicity attending it,
The old fashioned almanac, compan-
ion of thrifty housewives and friend of
long winter evenings, is being har-
messed to modern idea Instead of
being a patent medicine advocate it is
to be made a real preacher of health
The idea, so far as the record APP
pears, belongs to the Virginia board
of health, which publishes its current
bulletin i'll the form of a family al
manac. 1t contains all data that
made the old time publication popular
those shocking signs of the zodiac,
movable feast days. the moons chang
es, the time of the rising and setting
of the sun for each day, etc. 1t is
the same. and yet different. There
are no Whiskered jokes, but health
maXims instead no nostrum testi-
monials, but straightforward appeal
to the public to take care of its health
Some of these Virginia maXims are
worth repeating.
on open window is better than an
open grave.
Two collars for a doctor is cheaper
thai Il hundred dollars for u funeral.
Wire screens in the window keep
crepe from the door.
Typhoid germs are small i'll size,
but they are more expensive to keep
than blooded horses.
Hats off to the new almanac. 1t
deserves to succeed to the same warm
spot in the hearts of the people once
occupied by the patent medicine pub

what the other only pretended to do.

HOUSE IN FAVOR Of
CHANGE IN METHOD
Amendment to the Constitution Is
Proposed for Election of Sena-

The House at Washington, ID. c.,
has passed the resolution proposing
an amendment no the constitution

was expected. Such resolution has
often passed the House. But will the

But even if the proposition passes

In the house. In the senate of the
recent congress Sutherland Of Utah
attached an amendm ent TO It which
made 1t objectionable to many south

defeat in that body. This amend

or senators in the hands of the ma
tlonal government. as now. Most of
the republican senators farvor this
safeguard. They are unwilling to let
the matter of the choice of senators
be wholly under the control Of the
states. Some of the southern mem
bers declared that the Sutherland
proNiso was aimed at their section,
and, to some extent, they were cor
