FRAGETIE.

Show me not with scornful numbers
You've too many voters now.
Woman, Weakened from her slumbers,
Wants the ballot anyhow.
Life with Bill or life with Ernest
Is no more our destined goal.
Man thou art, to man thou turnest.
But we, too, demand the poll.
Not enjoyment, nauSht but sorrow,
Is the legislators way,
For We'll get to him tomorrow -
If he should escape today.
Arts expensive; styles are Meeting.
Let our lace edged banners wave.
Thus Inscribed DER every meeting,
Give US suffrage or the Grave!
TIeroines, prepare for battlel
Lend your efforts to the strife!
Drive all husbands forth like cattleI
Be a woman, not a wife!
Trust no man, however pleasant.
He'll agree to all you say,
Send you candy as present
Go and vote the other way.
Wives Of great men all remind us
We can make our lives sublime
And, preceding. leave behind US
All the rest at dinner time.
Let US then be UP and doing,
Don the trousers and the coat,
For our candidate pursuing
The elusive, nimble vote.
Smart Set.

KEEP The AIR PURE.

I'm always half dead in the MORN
ing, Il never get up my strength
until nearly noon, Il don't feel
rested in the morning; Pm as tired
when l get up as when I go to bed,
etc., are very common expressions
among women.
Permitting this kind of sleep with
out making every effort to remedy
it is slow murder Of which no mother
should be guilty. Breathing bad
air, or rebreathing air, reduces all
the process of the body, and lessons
vitality. To every air cell is given
a blood vessel, bringing blood from
the heart. 1t leaves the heart
charged with carbonic acid and
watery vapor 1t returns pure, If
pure air has met it in the lungs,
with all corruption destroyed, a
dancing particle Of life, but to be
life and not slow death, thirty-three
hogsheads Of air and tWenty-eight
pounds Of blood must pass daily in
to the lungs and twenty-eight
pounds of blood journey from heart
to lungs and back again three times
each hour. It rests with ourselves
whether this tide shall exchange its
poisonous and clogging carbonic
acid and watery vapor for life-giv-
ing oxygen or retain it to weight
down and debilitate every nerve in
the body"
While she gets up in the morning
she would feel newly made, rested
and refreshed by her nights sleep,
and if this is not the case tire ques-
ton Of ventilation Of the bedroom

What She Could Do,


A correspondent recalls a pointed
but discourteous and yet not wholly
undeserved intersection made at
local political meeting.
a lady, whose husband had tempo
lost his voice. Loyalty appeared
to make a speech on his behalf She
said good deal at the outset about
the state Of his larynx and then
plunged into politics. Having speedily
exhausted that theme, she returned to
her husbands health and described
not only his disappointment at being
unable to address them, but her own
efforts to patch him up for the fray.
She had tried hot lamentations, she
had tried poultices, she had made him
gargle his throat, she had steamed his
throat for him, she had sprayed his
throat and made him try every kind
of lozenge. Was there anything else
she could do for his throat? And a
voice said. AYE. mem, cut it."-Tit-
