BY JULIA CHANDLER MANI.

A brilliant woman, who gives her time
10 an intellectual work, frankly in-
formed me not long ago that she thought
there were a good many features cover
ed by a woman's page that did little
more than occupy space.
She insinuated that the feminine read
ers would be considerably better on II
they were educated politically and other
wise through this medium.
This sounds very well. indeed, but as
long as the human combination is Of
heart and brain, the heart side Of the
proposition needs as much help as the
brain side.
There are not a great many women
who have the leisure and opportunity
Of following an intellectual pursuit
Life, TO the majority OF US, is filed with
a multitude Of cares that are saved from
homsliness only by the way they are
met.
Our days do not always go along like
a song. The fact is that the average
woman finds life full of very knotty
problems many OF which she does not
know how to untangle.
Needs Word of Courage.
She needs q. word Of courage when she
is on the brink of failure more than
she needs to know who is likely to be
nominated for President of the United
States.
Sometimes just a word spoken at the
right moment will set the whole world
right for a human soul in preplexity.
This fact has been brought home to me
very forcibly since the beginning Of the
publication of the Poems that Have
Helped" old-fashioned and otherwise.
] have received hundreds Of letters from
readers OF The Washington Herald's
Womsns rage expressing gratitude for
the way. One reader, who signs her let
ter. ''One Of your many grateful read
rrs." writes me as follows:
My dear Mrs. MANI: I thought II
might be gratifying for you to know that
the beautiful poems that you are daily
publishing in your department of The
Washington Herald are bringing COM
fort and peace to at least one Of your
readers.
II have been particularly impressed
with the one entitled. Don't Pity Your
self Perhaps a kind Providence put Il
into the heart OF the dear woman who
sent it to you to publish as a message
Of cheer TO me.
For some time have been suffering
from a keen anguish of mind and soul.
In contemplating the facts that have
caused this suffering I confess 1 have
spent many hours of seIf-pity, but after
reading the inspiring verses mentioned
above I shall make an effort to live up
10 the high ideal embodied in them.
1T isn't probable that I shall meet
you this side of the grave. but il may
be my privilege, after life's ftful fever
is Ger somewhere in the vast unknown,
when all tears shall be wiped away to
grasp your hand and whisper to you
that by the exercising OF patience and
prayer, the gain has indeed overcome
the loss"
Doubtless the writer of this letter
follows with interest the news of wom-
ans work in the world. and other fea-
tures Of infcrmatory interest, but I dare
say that not one OF them has ever got

WHAT IS THE COW WORTH?

Every child needs milk, which
 is the natural food of the young. The family COW is the cheapest
 food producer known even when all the feed must be bought for her. Prices for meats are high, and milk is food rich in meat values. It is estimated that a quart of milk, weighing two pounds. is equal in value to one pound of beefsteak. There is in the beefsteak large part of al, most indigestible fiber. All of the milk is digestible. The COW which will will give three gallons per day furnishes the equivalent of 15 pounds of beefsteak. Ii the owner of the COW knows the value of this food, what is the 12 pounds of beefsteak wortht What is the COW wort to the fam fly? In many localities $60 per year will feed the COW. A good

AN UNUSUALLY
 HEAVY VOTE

Every indication at this time points to one of the largest votes ever polled in this county.
 During the entire day there has been marked activity among the candidates for all offices, par ticularly the office of governor and senate. This township, the largest in Nevada county, is claimed by both sides for these offices.
 The offices of county clerk and circuit clerk have only two can- didates each in the field and the vote is going to be close. A num- Der of other county offices are being closely contested, and it will take the official count to de- termine the winner.
 Up to this time-3:40-there have been about 45O votes boiled in this township, and the proba- bilities are that there will be something over 300 more boiled before the polls close.

MOST EXPENSIVE
 CAMPAIGN EVER HAD

Little Rock, March 27.-The battle of the ballots is on today in the seventy-five counties of the state. It has been one of the bitterest and most expensive campaigns ever conducted in Arkansas. It is predicted that there will be at least 16O,OOO votes cast. The interest natur- ally centers in the contests for Governor between Donaghey and Robinson, and for the United States senate between Brun> didge and Davis, and the friends of each are confidently claiming victory. The safest prognosti- cation seems to be that there will be no land-slides. An effort is being made to secure the re. turns earlier than at previous elections, and the result will be pretty we'll known by Thursday morning.

WHEN WOMAN WAS SOLDIER
David LIoydGeorse Says That Her Reputation In Battle Stands
 Very High.

They say you cannot make good soldiers out of women. You have never tried. There was a race at one time, I believe, that had an army of women, and its traditional repute in history stands very high. The women gave up the job; they thought it was better suited to the intellect O. men. But after all, men, of course, are better for some tasks; women art better for others equally important. Men make the better soldiers, women make the better nurses. After all, the healing of wounds is a nobler work than inflicting them. What is more, it demands higher quantities of brain and heart.
 War, after all, is not a permanent institution. Heaven forbid that it should be. The duel is vanishing, and think you will see war reced- Ing along the same dark road. And if women by their presence on the register, saved us from the infamv of single war they would have jus
