WHAT ELSE WOULD YOU
EXPECT FROM ROBBERS?
MRS. RUBY M. xAHN.
Rejection Of Suffrage Plank BY
Taft G. o. p. Crowd Doesn't
Surprise Detroiter
MRS. RUBY M. zAHN.

What else would you expect from
n lot OF robbers?" emphatically Quer-
led Mrs. Ruby NJ. zahn. president OF
the Political Equality and Civic
league. when informed by The Times,
Friday morning, that the Republican
party, In it's Chicago convention, had
rejected woman suffrage In the tenta-
tive draft OF its new platform. Men
who conduct affairs In the manner
that that Chicago convention Is being
conducted should hardly be expected
to recognize woman suffrage, and We
are not surprised that they rejected IT
in the tentative draft. We're not par
ticular about having the support OF
such men.
But we're going TO get suffrage
anyway. II Is not a question for
Michigan alone, but for the whole ma
ton, and suffrage for women Is COM
ing within few years,
Teddy Roosevelt has come out In
favor OF woman suffrage, and | am
convinced that II he forms a new par
ty and runs for the office OF president.
he will be elected without the slight
est difficulty: he will simply wipe the
earth with Taft. The people OF the
United States know a good thing
when they see 1t; and they are GER
tainly not going to choose a man like
Taft In preference to Roosevelt.

HOW GRACE BENSON
BECAME FAMOUS FOR
THE BEAUTY OF HER
HANDS AND ARMS
Free Prescription That Can Be Pre-
pared At Home Without Expense.

Grace Benson, famous for the mar
yelous beauty Of her hands and arms
In @ recent interview. says: IF |
could tell every woman about the
prescription that has caused all this
talk about by hands and arms they
could every one of them make their
hands and arms just as beautiful as
mine. am glad TO have the oppor-
tunity to give my receipt free to the
world. 1t will help every woman to
improve her personal appearance
When l asked her II she would allow
me to publish the prescription, she
quickly answered: Certainly, only
too glad TO have you do it." Turning
to a desk, she wrote II on slip OF
paper and handed II to me. Here IL
is: Go to any drug store, get an
empty two-ounce bottle, also a one
ounce bottle OF Kulux Compound. Pour
the entire bottle OF Kulux into the
two-ounce bottle. add quarter or an
ounce OF witch hazel, then MI with
water. Apply night and morning.
She further said: This prescription
makes the skin transparent and re
moves all defects, such as freckles'
tan. sun spots, roughness and ruddi-
ness. A single application works a
marvellous transformation. Where low
collars are worn II can be applied to
the neck with equally as startling re-
suits. Il is absolutely harmless, and
will positively not stimulate or pro-

BOY FINDS $1,000 IN
BILLS IN AN ALLEY

When Richard Patton, IA years old.
found small package of bills in an
alley near Jefferson-ave. and st. An
toine-st, Thursday, and discovered
that he was holding In his hand an
even $1,000, he was rendered almost
breathless by the, discovery, but al
most before he had recovered from
the shock he was on his way, running
like deer, to the central police sta
ton, to turn the money, over to the
authorities.
Patton, who graduates, Friday. from
the Jesuit school Of IS. Peter and
Paul, has his heart set on q college
education, and the $1,000 In that
bundle of bills In the alley would
nicely pay all expenses and allow him
to realize his ambition, but young
Patton has his own ideas about hon.
esty, the old-fashioned idea that does
not recognize Finders, keepers"
He raced all the way to police head
quarters, and turned the money over
to Lieut. Breault Of the juvenile
squad. II no claimant calls for IL, II
will be turned over to Patton.
No claimant has as yet appeared.

Jean Libbey class. She could now
write feelingly on Deserted on her
wedding eve" "Aleck" Moore, even
more infested in the Republican
nomination than he was In his honey
moon, has been working for Teddy
tooth and nail.
Moore, like many other self-made
men, thinks he Is fine dresser
II was at a little dinner that,
apropos to the admiration expressed
over one of Miss Russe'l's diamond
rings, Mr.. Moore remarked that one
OF his first ambitions was to own a
large diamond ring. He spoke of his
hard work In saving the money and
his pride when he first wore It.
Il must have been a sight" he
said. II wore one of those little dinky
Joe Weber hats. a Prince Albert coat.
Gee. but used to be a fierce dresser
You are STILL" quietly remarked
"Daughty," Miss Russelps daughter.
There was a moments silence and
then the tactful American beauty re-
marked upon the delicious salad.
They talk a great deal about the
suffragette and how little she cares
for the frocks and chiffons supposed
to enter so much into the affairs OF
women.
Mrs. Florence Collins Porter, one
of the two women delegates from
California has lived over half a Gen.
fury and only now that she Is probab-
ly one OF the most prominent suffra-
gettes In the country does she feel
the need OF an evening dress.
A beautiful white brocade with a
square train and draped with black
lace was worn for the first time at
the evening functions given In honor
OF the California women delegates.
Neither Mrs. Porter nor Miss Blan-
ey. the other woman delegate, are
like the usual conception OF Strong
minded women" They have all the
"womanly graces" OF tactfulness, low
voices and gentle manners.

The three great forward seops IN

The three great forward seops IN
womans homework are:
The modern range in place of the
old fireplace and kettle;
The sewing machine in place of
laborious thanksgiving;
Fels-Naptha soap, which makes il
easy to wash clothes in cool or lukewarm
water, without boiling or hard rubbing.
Of these three, Fels-Naptha saves the
woman more back-breaking labor, more
time, more money, and does more to
make life pleasanter than either of the
others.
At the very first, you can see how it
saves time and labor, bat perhaps you'll
wonder how Fels-Naptha saves money.
In two ways: First it saves the cost of
coal or gas TO heat water and boil the
clothes.
Then the clothes last longer when
washed with Fels-Naptha in cool or luke
warm water.
Their fibre isn't weakened by boil
ing nor strained by hard rubbing.
You can't realize just what help
Fels-Naptha is until you've tried it in
your own washing.
Why not begin next washdayl

place of the tireSome, tedious back-break-
ing method.
Use it according to directions on the

Mr.. VAN FLEETS SPEECH

y
R. C. Van Fleet delivered on the
occasion Of :the laying of the
cornerstone of the First Pres
byterian Church and Y. M. C. A.
building at Elko. Nevada on Fri
day. November %, 1912, at 2:3O
p. M.
Mr.. Chairman. Ladies and
Gentlemen: cannot help but feel
the. compliment of being permitted
on this occasion and in this
presence to take humble part in
laying the cornerstone of temple
for great faith, and of temple
of health and happiness for a great
organization like the Young Mems
Christian Association. Indeed, it
is something of an event in my
checkered career. Let us indulge
the hope, the fond hope, that it
may nave a benign effect upon my
future conduct. and make me a
better neighbor and a better man.
The Young ems Christian
Association is the only definite con-
t-ibution of Christian people to
the moral, physical and mcatal up
lift of the young men of this
country. There is an old saying
that "by the street called Straight
we come to the house called
Beautiful" You and /, my good
friends, though we may strive to
stay on this street, sometime
travel rather haltingly along it.
We grope through the dark cata-
combs of life blind. we climb the
ladder of life darkly. Please God,
we do not step upon the faces of
those who are climbing beneath US,
or seek to pull down those who are
climbing beneath US. But, we are
rather given to considering that if
l..
we will but pursue our own devices
in this world we are performing
all the duties TINT are laid upon
US. We forget that no man lives
to himself; that no man can esti-
mate the value and influence Of q
single life. We forget that there
are faces about Us end nesr us
who are ever looking up to US for
guidance and strength We forget
that the thoughts We drop so care.
lessly as we pass along the way are
gathered and analysed and con.
sidered TO their very last element.
We sometimes rebel against the
sphere of life in which we are
placed. We live here in small
community. the pleasures are not
greatly varied or picturesque and
we long sometimes for a larger
horizon, and we think that the
world owes us larger field for
our abilities, and for our diversion.
But have always pitied the boy
or girl, who is born practically In
the pavements of a great city, ano
who never really had an oppor-
tunity to enjoy the free and open
life Of the woods and hills, for the
best men in this country. the mer
who have accomplished most for
humanity, are men who have had
tinge of the soil in their bloc
When troubles annoy us and we get
these fits Of depression, which como
to every msn and woman, ID
matter how high or lowly born,
we have but to look up to the RUB
Mountains, where the Sun is CLINT
ing on the snow end draw in IS
draught this air. like wine, and
our troubles Gee from us like thr
wild birds in the spring. / have
always pitied the child whose spirit
of adventure and romance has been
crowded between the walls of a
great city. We too often forge t
