~ DIVERSION through laughter is
the latest method Of furthering
" the cause of suffrage, and it is
proving more effectual than the
drastic methods Of the sut1ragists across
the sea.
In Miss Marjorie Benton Cooke the
suffrage movement has found young
leader who can prevail where others
have failed, and who says of herself,
laughingly:
~ am the connecting link. Husbands
will listen to me. / present the suffrage
cause in a series of humorous mono
logues, and some Of my most successful
monologues are those where / tal1e the
side Of the strict 'antis.'
HBy giving all the reasons why wom-
en- should not have the ballot, / can
generally convince my audience that
these reasons are the very best ones
why women should be allowed to vote. y
It is easy to understand why Miss
Cooke can hold the attention of her
audience. She is an attractive young
woman, with frank and engaging man
ner, and that general air Of victory that
floats about the young and pretty suf-
frapist is like a banner

The Quickest, simplest
Cough Cure
Easily and Cheaply Made nj
Home. Saves YOu ~.

This recipe makes a pint Of cough
time. You couldn't buy as much or as
good cough syrup for $3.50.
Simple as it is, it gives almost instant
relief and usually stops the most obssi-
nate cough in pa hours. This is partly
due to the fact that it is slightly la1H-
tive, stimulates the appetite and has an
excellent tonic effect. 1t is pleasant to
take-children like it. An excellent rem
edy, too, for whooping cough. Group, sore
lungs, asthma, throat troubles, etc.
Mix one pint Of granulated sugar With
5a pint of warm water, and stir for 2
minutes. Put 211a ounces Of Pinex fifty
cents WORTHY in pint bottle, and add
the Sugar Syrup. 1t keeps perfectly.
Take n teaspoonful every one, two or
three hours.
Pine is one Of the Oldest and best
known remedial agents for the throat
membranes. Piuex is the most valuable
concentrated compound of Norway white
pine extract, and is rich in guaiacol and
all tho other natural healing elements.
Other preparations will not work in this
formula.
The prompt results from this recipe
have endeared 1t to thousands of house,
wives in the United States and Canada,
which explains why the plan has been
initiated often, but never successfully.
A guaranty of absolute satisfaction, or
money promptly refunded, goes with this
recipe. Your druggist has Pine1, or will
get it for you. II not, send to The
Pinex Co., Ft. Wayne, Ind.

very simple way. That is. by be-
coming their OVID producers.
Twenty years ago, in a certain
community every family used the
land about the house for practical
purposes. 1t raised all the vege-
tables required for summer and
winter. In some cases it supported
cow, pig and some chickens.
Today. while the street has
changed little in other respects. it
is inhabited by people with newer
ideals. They do not trouble to do
garden work. The vegetable man,
the egg man, the milk man and
whole procession Of men, drive up
TO the houses along the street, and
sell the things that the land itself
used to raise and can still produce.
This would be entirely justihable
if wages had advanced, or IL the
fortunes of the families were such
that the househ older's time could
be better employed than in doing
garden work.
But this is not the case. In this,
and in. many other places, the little
garden as an aid to family economy
has gone out Of fashion.
In the grocery store, down the
street, the men discuss political af-
fairs, national finances and the ball
game.
No one talks about the maximum
yield of the garden patch.
The telephone and the trolley ear
have widened the circle Of their
vision and they live in the metro
politan wav. City restrictions are
throwing their tentacles of high
cost where they have no buslness TO
reach.
It is amazing what fortune
family in humble circumstances can
attain TO by developing all the re.
sources at hand Thrift, labor and
good management are as foEceful az
thew were in old-fashioned times.
Thousands Of families crowd the
cities and barely exist; families
that could eliminate every middle
man between producer and consum-
er. and take all the profits them
selves. Why do they not move into
the countryf
Probably because the crowds. the
picture shows and tho excitement
are more interesting at high price
than cabbage patch is with mon-
ey in hand.
State departments Of agriculture
and the department of agriculture
at Washington have published val.
uable documents on all aspects of
farming. Quietly it, is becoming
recognized that the. foundation of
national prosperity is not the large
farmer in Kansas; 1T is the small
worker of the soil everywhere
These documents may be had For
the asking. To read them and TO
learn how TO make the soil under
ones feet contribute to the cost oi
living is, in the long run: better
proposition than living where you
