SUFFRAGE LECTURE
AT CHEVY CHASE
Clifford Howard, of California,
Speaks Before Association at Its
First Fall Meeting.

Advancing a number Of novel and
seemingly undisputable points in favor
OF equal suffrage, Clifford Howard. a
well known writer of California, for
merly OF this city. delivered an address
on that much discussed subject before a
large and enthusiastic audience at the
Chevy Chase Library Hall, the occa-
sion being the first fall meeting Of the
Chevy Chase Association. of which MI.
Howard was the first president. B. w.
Parker is president of the association
and introduced Mr.. Howard. who was
received with hearty applause.
Mr., Howard commended that it is neces-
sary that the woman should have the
ballot. because he said today SO many
of the functions and activities OF gov
eminent pertain to matters in which the
women are particularly concerned. Gov
eminent to-day involves education" de-
clared the speaker. morals, sanitation.
child welfare, food. and a score of other
things that belong essentially to the
yoman's domain. Our government, both
national and municipal. is, after all.
merely an enlarged housekeeping, and
we need the woman's help and experience
and abilities in the management OF our
national household just as much as we
need her presence In our individual
households. The man alone can no more
hope to successfully administer our pres
ent-day government without the help oil
the woman, than he could hope to man
age his own household without the aid
of the woman.
That every objection to woman suf-
frage is based on ignorance or prejudice
was Mr.. Towards statement. He said
that every objection is conclusively an.
swered by the actual practical results OF
woman suffrage and that not one OF the
predicted evils had come to pass In any
one of the Six States in which equal SUI
frage obtains. "On the contrary. CON
ditions have improved and civilization
has advanced"

CURES WROUGHT BY CHINESE
Ministrations OF Physicians Have
Good Effect, Though the Cause
May Be Obscure.

Chinese physicians are popular
with women in our CITY," said doc
tor from California. "Their method
Of diagnosis is very simple. A wom-
an tells Chimes doctor where she
has pain and he feels her pulse
nothing more Then he tells her for
how many thousand years his race
has understood the human body and
mind. This makes great impress
sion upon the woman patient and she
goes forth with great faith in the
learned Chinese and the medicine he
has given her, which is usually harm
less enough, but not to be found
among the remedies approved by ma.
terra medica.
However, the Chinese doctors are
clever, and they do effect some cures
In spite Of their medicine. Lay 1t

Baby's Hands Tied
MOTHER TELLS HOW sAxo sALvE
CONQUERED ECZEMA.

Last fall we noticed small rough
and red spots coming on baby's
hands. The skin was very dry and
she kept scratching them until they
would bleed. We lost good deal Of
sleep with her. Finally we took her to
the doctor and he treated her several
weeks, but it kept spreading until we
had to keep her little hands tied and
dress and bandage them several
times day they were so sore, and
we used everything we could hear of
for eczema. Finally our druggist told
us about Saxo Salve. We tried it and
one and half tubes has entirely
cured her. Her little hands are
smooth and not even SCARED, and we
are so glad to tell others what Sake
Salye has done for us. Mrs. Mort
Stephenson, Lebanon. Ind
You cannot do better than to try
saxo Salye for eczema, letter, ring

cheerfully give back your money If i
