TOO MUCH SELF-DENIAL
LANDS WOMEN IN a RU7

the matter of clothes? It costs, costs q
lot to be smartly tailored, triggly gowned
all the while. and the best most OF wom-
eli can do is to. come somewhere near
their aspirations. But II does not pay the
business woman or the home woman to
be SO practical in all her expenditures
that there is no chance for a bit of beau
tiful folly and its softening, relaxing ef-
feet,
Pathetic story.
The story has been told, pathetically.
too, of woman who who all her young
l!fe longed for and missed fluffy even
ing gown and the chance to wear It,
When she had reached the sedate port Of
old age her opportunity came, too late
to be Of any great avail. But she bought
that dream-dre SIS, and though her hair.
her face and her figure had grown away
Leyond It, she would take II out, admire
it, and in fancy turn back to the days of
her youth.
Call it weak. ridiculous. crazy, IL you
like. but the fact remains that we can
not stife all our foolish hopes and
prides without letting in something hard
and cold to take their place. Don't you
sometimes think that the secret of some
OF the sour, hard faces We see is just
little and big dreams crushed out, one
after another?
Maybe we do not stop to analyze the
feeling, but We do know, you and l,
man or woman. that we feel a lot more
important and worth while on the days
when we are conscious of being well
dressed than on those other days when a
bit of shabbiness creeps into our attire.
1t is not creditable. not big at all. but
very human.
Two sides to Question.
And while there is much to be said
for the utiltarian point of view. there
Is also much on the side of the pleas-
anter. softer things of life. And 1t
pays to see or to hear something that
will bring genuine. relaxing iaugn
of mirth. pays to go where there is
happy companionship. pays to do some
thing frivolous once in a while, pays to
be a bit eXtravagant. II one only has
the good common sense to come back.
Because 1t is so easy to become bound,
hard and fast. in rut where one day
moves along just like its many prede-
cessors. and where even thoughts be-
come overcast with grayness.

SPEAKER
URGES SUFFRAGE
W. D. Mackenzie Says Alleged
Danger to Half-and-half Sys.
TEN Is Bugaboo.

II an open-air address. at Pennsyl-
vania Avenue and Seventh Street, last
night. w. ID. Mackenzie made a strong
plea for the restoration of the right of
suffrage In the District. He urged IL be-
cause IT is correct In principle. and be-
cause the District cannot hopeSto come
forward in the general procession of
municipal progress until 1t is rid of
the superannuated. unconstitutional and
un-American form OF government under
which the people live enthralled and
bereft OF the rights for which the war
OF the Revolution was fought
Mr.. Mackenzie said in part:
There are no valid objections to Dis
trict suffrage Where there's a will.
there's d way One of the bugaboos
now much in evidence Is the alleged
danger to the half-and-half system.
The danger is imaginary. In matters of
taxation, the American people have
been treating the District fairly and gen.
erously. This is a national city, laid
out on national lines. and II is only Just
that the Federal government should con-
tribute to its support
IF the American people are just to
the District now. while we are living ur1-
der system of Russian autocracy, is
there any good reason to fear that they
will be less just and generous when we
once more enjoy the rights of American
citizens? Under present conditions there
Is such fragrant discrimination in the
assessment OF property that the masses
of the people in the District derive very
little benefit from the contributions OF
the Federal government"
Thomas p Wills also made a brief
address. urging the need of suffrage
for the people Of the District. and en-
larging upon the idea that the restora
tion of the natural rights of the citi-
zens would in no way initiate against
the application Of the haIf-and-half prin-
ciple OF making appropriations or against
the form of appropriating money for

By FRANCES sHAFFER.

1t is only the few who are exempt
from the necessity of practicing econ
omy, and the rest struggle somewhere
between too much and too little.
And lit sometimes happens that the
business woman, or the woman in the
home who is desperately trying to con-
serve the family income, steps over the
borderiand of wisdom and denies her
self too much.
And then one asks-does it pay?
Doesn't Pay.
1t distinctly does not pay IL it means
that one is allowing herself to slip into
a rut and to let all the pleasant things
of life go by for the sake Of a steadily
growing income or for the winning of a
particular ambition.
The business woman, away from home
all day. finds il very tempting to drop
some of the little things that add color
to life. There are the social affairs that
appeal nightly to the average woman
of leisure. In time, the business woman
is quite likely TO let them slip, partly
through pressure of other matters, part
ly through a growing lack of care.
With her mind and heart more or less
centered upon financial independence,
she longingly looks at some of the things
she particularly wants, but prudence

the altar of saving. But one is minded
to te1l her to take care, for her spirits
count, as does her purse; and it is very
easy to grow narrowed down, unneces-
sarily.
OverIooks Matter of Rest.
When vacation time comes around she
figures II all out on the basis of dollars
and cents. The manner of rest she Is
looking for is rather expensive and she
wonders If II is wise to spend a big lump
sCm or stay home and dream of bank
account grown solid enough to hold its
own without a thought of work.
But again one would like to remind her
that the mind must have something new
10 feed upon, the eye something fresh
and different to look upon, because hu-
man beings were not made to go on and
on in the w1arisome steps of the tread
mill. Sooner or later there is day Of
reckoning. and some time she will learn
that vacations pay.
And don't you know that is is mighty
hard to be practical ever sensible" in

Think IL Over Calmly.

OF course, there are times when diff
Culties beset the path. when, whichever

elimination OF self, the way out seems
equally uncertain.
In u case like this, one must remain

has been trained in the business world
ought to have a brain at her command
in such a situat ton a brain that will
think matters oyer, preventing her emo

WHAT TO DO FOR
FEYERS And COLDS
Serious Illness Often Avoided if
, Children Are Treated in Time.

II overanxious young mothers only
knew what to do first in the case of
fevers and colds which attack their
babies, many and many a doctors bill
would be saved.
With the high cost OF living now con-
fronting US. that is an item to be con-
sidered.
Children have fever very easily, conse-
quently 1t has not as much significance
as 1t has In the adult. But, nevertheless.
even slight fever caused by eating too
much cake at supper must be watched
or 1t may develop into a serious illness.
With the first signs OF fever the
flushed cheeks. glittering eyes and hot
dry skin, 1t is usually safe to give a
cathhrtic. Then stop any solid food and
give an alcohol friction bath in the fol-
lowing manner. Remove all clothing and
wrap &C lean. dry sheet or lightweight
blanket around the child
Expose one small portion OF the body
at a time, beginning with the chest. and
apply equal parts Of alcohol and water
with the hand or a piece OF absorbent
cotton. Rub the dampened skin briskly
but gently with the hand until II is en-
tirely dry. Do not dry with a towel
Molsten the skin again and rub dry the
second time. and in this manner go over
the whole body. Allow plenty of time
for the skin to dry in the rubbing This
reduces the fever by the cooling effect
Of the rapid evaporation. and the fric-
ton brings the blood to the surface in
health-giving circulation.
Allow Plenty OF Wafer.
Allow the child to drink plenty of wa
ter unless there is excessive vomiting
Cold water helps TO reduce the fever and
carry Off the poisonous products within
the body
II the fever has not been controlled
within twelve hours and the mother does
not know what causes it so that she may
not cure it entirely, she should not take
the responsibility of treating the child
herself, but should send for the doctor,
SO he may have a chance to prevent Sc
rious trouble.
Fever always appears with a cold. The
rest way to treat colds is to prevent
them. To do this the child must have
fresh air every hour of the day in all
seasons. Avoid exposure, direct draughts
and wet feet
Let it wear warm, sensible clothing
and give a cold sponge bath every day.
Give only nOurishng food. plenty of
sleep and routine exercise. See that the
child IS free from adenoids and enlarged
tnnsils. II you live in a steam-heated
house have jar of water on each ra-
1lator To moisten the air, for dry air
makes the mucous membran. in the
throat dry and more susceptible for in
lection.
An eminent physician advises for a

ne and use of flannel about the throat
and chest. Do not omit the bath and be

" Gather is stormy"
Spray the throat and nasal passages |
with a weak solution of peroxide and !
water or some harmless disinfectant ,
Keep the feet warm and dry and the |
