A WISE CANARY

one day last week stray eat
knocked down the cage containing
Willette Haile's beautiful canary
bird which charmed the whole neigh
borhood with its sweet song. Will
lette was disconsolato and her
friends mourned with her, for it was
supposed that the cat had killed the
bird. Greatly to cverybody'S sur
prise the bird had escaped and was
heard singing in the trees. The
open cage and food was left for it,
and in day it responded to the call
of the cage. Since then it has been
accorded its freedom, which it seems
to enjoy, hut it answers readily to
call and comes and perchcs on the
head or arm of anybody who calls
it. 1t is useless to say II H. the

market for four years. When the public

buying and to-day the last acre has been
sold.
When the farmerettes went to Brook

years. This was last March. In Septem-

selim did not like the job. He is used
to forming part of the decorations of the

and not TO working.
With all its drawbacks. the farm was
better for suffrage than the Department

mixed together.

branch that they must move on to the new head

Instead OF the old neighborly hospitality there
formal talks In hygiene and how to be pretty though
plain. Instead OF cozy sitting rooms and reading
tables, there were soap counters and shelves filled
with pills and dandrun cures.
Mrs. Belmont sent forth circulars into New Jersey
Connecticut and up the State advertising her hygiene
department and suffrage became subservient to
hygiene,
Well, at first the idea worked well. Soaps skin
foods, hair toncs and pasers sold like hot cakes
Women came in from the country expecting to get free
dental treatment and free doctors attendance! They
thought hygiene covered everything.

demand was for food not soap and pills.
