ODD FUNCTION OF HOGS LEG
Escape Pipes for Discharge OF Waste
Matter Not Used In Economy Of
Body Placed There.

The hogs legs perform a function
not known to any other animal, and
that is an escape pipe or pipes for the
discharge Of waste matter or sweat
not used in the economy Of the body.
These pipes are situated upon the in
side of the legs, above and below the
knees In the forelegs and above the
gambrel joints in the hind legs, but In
the latter they are very small and the
functions are light. Upon the inside
of the forelegs they are, in the healthy
hog, always active, so that moisture
Is always there about and below these
orifices or ducts In the healthy hog.
The holes in the legs and breathing In
the hog are his principal and only
means Of ejecting an excess of heat
above normal, and when very warm
the hog wills open the mouth and
breathe through that channel as well
as the nostrils. The horse can per-
spire through all the pores Of its body,
such as a man, and cattle do the same
to limited extent, but the hog never.
His escape valves are confined to the
orifices upon the inside Of his legs.
People often wonder why 1t is that
the hog dies 80 suddenly when he
runs rapidly or takes quick and vio-
lent exercise by fighting. But when
you consider the few escape pipes,
their small capacity and remoteness
from the cavity where the heat Is
generated, the wonder Is not that he
dies quickly when overheated, but that
he lives as long as he does when
heated up.

would Ask for Suffrage.

MY Dear Mrs. MANI: If 1 might have
a wish granted, would ask for the full
citizenship of all women.
Il believe that to be the open sesame
to most, If not all. of the good things
of life without it, everything seems
tainted with a stigma, even love; for
how can a woman love or respect q
man who does not think so highly of
her as she does of herself with regard to
her status as citizen?
THE status of women in the East of
our United States makes marriage i'm
possible for me, and believe that next
to the fact that my self-respect demands
full citizenship for myself and my sex,
the desire for a full, deep, satisfying
love, based upon an equal regard, has
been the main motive in my heart for
the asking of the ballot
The writer of this letter asked to have
her name withheld.

dominating wish will be published Mon

SUIT CASE is ALL
BAGGAGE NECESSARY
For the Modern Woman in
Her Travels.

1t is no longer a novelty to travel about
with only suit case, especially IL you
are a man. although many women are as
clever in packing the necessities for a
weeks journey in one of the modern
lightweight travelling cases.
The ability to travel comfortably with
such light baggage lies entirely in your
capacity to eliminate the unnecessary.
The woman who must have changes OF
clothing. bottles galore and innumerable
toilet accessories had better not make
the attempt. For a man, or a woman
who has the 'tailor-made habit a suit
case is entirely adequate"
In the first place, the necessary toilet
articles are packed neatly. into one of
these oiled silk cases, which may be
slowed safely in corner. Night clothes
and the very necessary dressing gowns,
or kimono of some lightweight, dark
colored material are next added.
A pair OF slippers or change of shoes
is imperative. One or two suits of the
gauze underwear so universally worn
nowadays take little space. Ties, hand
kerchiefs, and gloves are placed in a
fiat case, and collars should be kept in a
collar bag.
Room IL One Manages Well.
There Is easily room for a mans shirts,
and If the suit case is large and the
packing neatly done. a light summer suit
may be added. The shirts and trousers
can be placed in the lid, the coat folded
on top of the other garments in the bot
tom of the case.
A clever woman may have a dressy
shirt waist for her tailor suit, or even fold
one of the soft new dinner gowns in the
top of her case. II she decides to dis
pense with extra shirt waists.
OF course, either a man or a woman
would carry a top coat over the arm.
In travelling with only a suit case, the
top coat could be utilized to protect a
dinner gown for a woman's evening wear,
and a smart tailor hat. which would look
well with either the travelling suit or top
coat, should be worn on the head. A soft
cap could be slowed in the suit case.
although a protecting Veil is much smart
er for a woman.
The advantages OF travelling with little
luggage are so numerous and shops so
conveniently near where garments may
be replaced that II is becoming more
and more the fad to do without trunks
when possible. especially when making
hurried trips abroad.

AGEISGREATER TRAGEDY TO
WOMEN THAN 1T is TO MEN
People Recognize that There Is No Other Way Of
Reckoning Age that Is So Inadequate and So Lit
tie to Be Relied Upon as the Calendar.
BY DOROTHY DIX.

The Madrid papers have been having
q very entertaining discussion of the sub
ject of a mans age. and asking its read
ers to decide how long a man is entitled
to be called young.
The answer that won the prize was:
"A man is young so long as he can
make women Jealous"
Another competitor thought that a man
was old when he could no longer stoop
down and tie a beautiful woman's shoe.
while a woman contended that all men
were young until they ceased to think
of marriage.
a man is old" wrote another COM
pctitor. when a woman kisses him with
cold lips
OF course, any discussion of a mans
age is purely academic. 1t really doesn't
matter at all. It's a bit of unimportant
statistics between him and the family
record. for he is literally as young as
he feels, and may do as he pleases.
If a man feels like wearing pink neck
ties and red waistcoats, and making love
TO chorus girls when he is seventy-five,
he may do so with impunity. If he is
charming and entertaining. people don't
quit asking him to parties because he
has turned sixty. Age isn't a tragedy
to him, as it IS to woman. where, no
matter who she is. nor what she has
done. her years become an actual re-
Election on her character.
Different with Women.
She. poor dear. always has to be guard
ing against dressing too young. and no.
body invites her to their parties after
she gets beyond a certain milestone, eX-
cept those benevolent souls who arc lay
ing up works of supererogation.
OF course all sensible people recognize
that there is no other way of reckoning
age that is so inadequate and so little
10 be relied upon as by the calendar.
Age is a matter of spirit and tempera-
ment and body, not of years. There are
people who are Superannuated in the
cradle, and others who are still mere
boys and girls at eighty.
Yet, to most of us, and especially to
women, there comes some fine dividing
line, on one side of which we are young,
and on the other side of it we are old.
and this line isn't a birthday mark.
When does woman cross this Rubi-
