An advocate of woman's suffrage be-
lieves that when women get their
rights, among them the franchise,
LEGISLATION to abolish the use of intoxi-
eating liquors and tobacco will be
easily passed and rigidly enforced. Is
this to be understood as an argument

hard-headed masculine conservatives?

doctors say the most of us keep our
living and sleeping rooms too warm.
Without doubt this is the truth. In
case of summer showers we often close
our windows to keep the rain out, then
drop off to sleep and awake in the
morning with the room stutfy and our
heads feeling as if we might have been
on bum the night before. Lack OF
fresh air and an overheated tempera-
ture has gotten in it's work"
A young man who had been born and
reared in the backwoods went to Chi
cago and made lot of money. Then
he returned to his native village and
asked his father to take trip to the
Windy City. The old man, however,
was not enthusiastic over the PROPOSE
ton. He had read of fires, automobile
accidents and other catastrophies in
big cities. Finally, after much argu-
ment and persuasion on the part of his
son, the father reluctantly agreed to
undertake the journey. AT the little
country station he was panic-stricken
and tried to get permission to 80 back
home. Once on the train his nerve
began to revive, and all went well
until the train dashed into tunnel
black as night. When this happened
the old man grabbed his umbrella, hit
his son whack on the head and cried
out:

The progress of aviation continues
to be marked by serious fatalities.
During the past week seven lives were
sacrificed in the effort to conquer the
air. The first woman ever licensed in
America to fly an aeroplane was DASH
ed to death at Boston, falling dis
lance of 1000 feet. The same accident
which cost her life caused theJdeath of
her companion. On the same day the
dirigible balloon, Akron, in which Mel
vim Vaniman was about to attempt to
sail across the Atlantic ocean, burst in
mid air, resulting in the death of Vani-
man and his four companions. 1t will
be reca l0d that Mr.. Vaniman was the
chief engineer of the dirigible balloon,
America, in which Walter Wellman
sought to fly across the Atlantic year
or two ago, the attempt being unsuc-
cessful after few hours out at sea.
These two accidents resulted in seven
lives being lost in one day, bringing
the total number of aeroplane fatalities
for the first six months of the present
year up to forty-one, as compared with
sixty-four for the twelve months of
