MANlcuREs FOR ANIMALS
Departments to Care for Nails and
Bills Started at Zoo In
Philadelphia.

Philadelphia, Pa.--So as to keep the
nails of the animals from the lion to
the monkey and the bills of the birds
from the eagle to the canary In good
shape, well-equipped manicuring and
dental establishment is maintained at
the geological gardens. The depart
ment is under the supervision of Head
Keeper Manley. and 1t moves its
sphere of work from cage to cage In
the various houses, as the occasion de-
n1ands. It is constantly at work.
The tools employed by the mani
curists In connection with their labor
among the creatures differ materially
from the dainty utensils used by the
blonde Venus of the barber shop, and
consist OF hammer. a chisel. often a
hatchet and saw. and always a large.
rugged file about IA inches long. A
sharp, strong pair Of steel wire nip
pers is also used on the nails OF the
larger cats.
The manicuring establishment at the
gardens was organized by Superin-
tendent Carson. Realizing that the
animals could not wear off their nails
on the boards of the cages as quickly
as they could on the rocks of their ma
tive haunts. and that because of this
the claws frequently grew long, turned
and penetrated the. soft part OF the
foot, Mr.. Carson decided that In order
to alleviate the distress caused by IN
growing nails these would have to be
cIipped.

Stringent Rules for

The cooperative COW testing asso-
ciaticns of Denmark have rapidly in,
creased to about 500 associations. A
man is employed by each association
to visit the farms and do the testing
every three weeks. He weighs the
milk and keeps an accurate record OF
the feed consumed, so the net profit
per year of each individual COW can
be .ascertained
Two Copenhagen milk companies
handle over 100000 pounds of milk a
day. all of which is produced under
veterinary inspection and in accord
ance with strict rules laid down by
the company.
Inspectors see that every producer
lives up to these rules, which require
cleanliness at every step.
AS soon as drawn, the milk must
be cooled and kept below SO degrees
Fahrenheit; the slightest on flavor
may cause the bottling plant to refuse
the milk
Then 1t is pasteurized at 1870 de-

It Was Not His Lead.

Here is another of the stories told
by the late Senator Robert L. Taylor
and published by his close friend,
John Trotwood Moore:
An old-time darkey was closing his
sermon one night in Paradise alley.
and Uncle Rastus. who had been play
ing cards the night before, was seat

dreaming of his favorite game. The
old preacher said:

a story in Harper's Magazine to Illus

cope with the etiquette of courts.
A young American woman wished

king of Saxony. They represented to
her that the king could scarcely re

The young woman cabled home and
told her father of the situation. The
next morning she received his an
swer:
Cant call it selling. Practically

were? Suppose We should say to our
husbands as we kiss them goedby on

WHO PAYS BILLS?
Men Object to Amendment Be-
cause of Cost.
Man Who Pays No Taxes Talks
to Woman Who Does.

The other day a man who pays no
taxes was talking to widow who
does pay taxes and he objected to
women's voting for the extra expense
it would be in printing more ballots.
For a good many years women have
helped to pay not only the bills for
printing ballots but all other govern
mental expenses, and was that ques-
ton raised when all other classes of
voters were enfranchised There
would be then just the same objection
to be raised even about an increased
birthrate- Do we want more e;tIzens
if we have to pay for their ballots
OF course there is the extra expense
this year of submitting the amend
ment and the cost of the campaign,
but the truly economical thing will be
to enfranehise the women so that this
expense of submitting the amen Sment
and paying for publication notices, etc,
will not have to be done again. Be
cause it will surely have to be done
over Immediately if the women fail
this year.
Why, in Oregon when the women
failed, within ten days they had gath
cred up names for new petitions and
had them all filed ready for the cleo
ton again this fall. This is the way
women feel about this matter. They
will never quit and it will be a good
deal cheaper to just give them the
ballot and be done with it.

Women Not Lined Up With
Any Party or Faction.
They Will Get Ballot Before
Making Arguments.

Isn't it peculiar that women should
be asked: well, what party are you
going to join? How are you going to
vote?
wouldn't it be just as reasonable
to ask one of our students of the Kan
sas Medical college who had just start
ed into school: "Well, now, who are
you going to doctor? Who will be
your first patient %
From the ever changing spirit of all
parties how can women say whom they
will vote for when they have gotten
the right. We are not all gifted with
prophetic vision. Maybe there will be
an entirely new party never yet heard
of by the time women get the ballot.
Since 1859 women in Kansas have
more or less industriously campaigned
parties have come and gone. The
young doctor might say I will take the
patient that requires my services. If
the home needs some special service,
the welfare of the child some special
legislation, the party that offers the
safest, sanest remedy Will probably get
the woman's vote. And yet, aren't
VIII ii be any easier to lump off votes
of woman than those of man?
But whatever the answer which
might be given by the woman asked,
just remember that as an organization
We do not talk party politics any more
than we talk religious, church affilia-
lions. We are an organization COM
posed of free agents. We will vote
according to the dictates of our con-
our own churches regardless of what
our neighbor does. We are working
for no party, no candidate. We ask
nothing but our enfranchiSement .

"A SILLY CREATURE"
Cardinal Moran of Australia So Des-
ignates Woman Who Won't Vote.

Cardinal Moran, of Australia, in his
official organ, the Catholic Press, OF
Sydney, says:
What does voting mean to a we-
man? Does she sacrifice any dignity
by going to the poll? The woman who
votes only avails herself of a rightful
privilege that democracy has gained
for her. No longer a mere household
chattel she is recognized as mans
fellow worker and helpmate, and
credited with public spirit and intelli-
gence. AS a mother, she has special
interest in the legislation of her coun-
try, for upon it depends the welfare
of her children. She knows what is
good for them just as much as the
father, and the unselfshness of mater
nifty should make her interest ever
keener. She should deem it one or
the grandest privileges of her sex that
she can now help to choose the men
who will make the laws under which
her children must live, and exert her
purer influence upon the political at
mosphere of her time. How can she
sacrifice any dignity by putting OH
her bonnet and walking down to the
polling booth? Women think nothing
of transacting ordinary commercial
business, of working alongside men, of
playing their part in the practical bus
mess of life. They do not mind go
ing to the box Office of a theater to
purchase tickets for the play. There
is very little difference between doing
that and putting their vote in a bal
lot box. The men about the booths
show them every courtesy, the officials
are anxious to make things easy for
them, and the whole business of vot-
ing does not occupy more than five
minutes. The woman who thinks she
is making herself unwomanly by Vot-
ing is a silly creature

A MATTER OF LAW.
Are Women People?-Then Entitled
by Constitution to Vote.

Suppose that woman from any OF
the six states where women vote
should come to Kansas where women
may not vote and after becoming
citizen tenders her vote? She has
been a resident of the United States
and has voted for president under the
guarantee of the constitution to pro-
tect the rights of the citizens of every
state against any and all diseIimina-
tons by any state, dare we refuse to
accept her vote? If she brought suit
to enforce her rights as a citizen what
would be the outcome before fair
and unprecedented judiciary? Is 1T not
a question that would make an in
teresting lawsuit and have not many
suits been instituted on much more
technical ground?
The Kansas Bill of Rights, section
2. says: "All political power is inner
ent in the people, and all free govern
ments are founded on their authority,
and are instituted for their equal pro-
lection and benefit" The only cues
ton then that remains to be settled
is: Are women people? We Will know
on the 9Th of November.

Cheap Labor Menace to Living Wage

Many times has labor found that
when it CONFESS into competition with
cheaper labor that wages must fall
This was found to be true of Chinese
labor; it brought down the price of the
white mans wage. American towns
along the Mexican border know that
Mexican labor is disastrous to the days
wage of the American Iaborer. The
cheap labor of the unfranchised woman
is just as bad for the man that comes
into competition with her whether it
be in Office, factory or the school room.
Do you believe in a living wage for
women and girls? Then give them the
ballot. 1t is one hundred years too late
for you to say that you do not want wo-
men in the business world. Women must
live Are you ready to help support
1000, 900 who are now in the business
world? Haven't you almost as much
to do as you can possibly manage to
support those dependent upon you?
Well then let's do the decent thing by
making it just as easy for those work
ing women and girls who have to work
as we can. Let's give them the ballot.
Suppose you had to work without the
protection of the vote?

KNOWS NO SEX.
The Law Doesn't, But Ballot That
Makes Law Does.


If when a,man, asks you why you
want the ballot and you have not
right at that moment good answer
ready, Yankee fashion. ask him why
he wants it, and then you will know
why you need it. Always renne mber
that there is no sex in law enforce
ment. Statutes do not furnish one
line of punishment for women and
another for men. We are classed sim
ply as citizens and no allowance is
made either for sex or ignorance. No
lighter tax is levied upon the poor
widow than upon the strong and in
dependent man. When a woman is
brought before the bar of justice the
lawyer does not say: well, will
look in the kind and chivalrous stat
utes as made and provided oy gal
liant men for such cases where weak
and defenseless woman is defer dant
or plaintiff" and yet some people
seem to think that there are separate
and distinct laws all com pli1nentary
to women. Woman in the eyes of the
law is simply human being who lives
amenable to our government just the
same as the man.
