Urges Consumers League
WILL BE HERE LATER

Miss jeanette Rankin, who was to
have made an address before the meet
ing of the Birmingham Equal Suffrage
association yesterday afternoon at
Clark & Jones hall, was detained and
rallied TO reach the city.
Miss Rankin is field secretary of the
National Equal Suffrage association and
has been in Florida for several weeks
in the interest of the suffrage bill that
lis pending before the Florida legisla- :
ture. The bill was defeated in the
house, but is still pending before the
senate and the detention of Miss Rank
in may have been due TO that fact.
The meeting was we'll attended and
some disappointment was expressed ct
the absence of the noted equal sul-
frage worker and speaker. Mrs. Solon
Jacobs, president of the association,
stated that Miss Rankin would come
make an address to the suffragists OF
the city and that the time and place
would be announced later.
\ welcome visitor at the meeting
was Mrs. Julian Park of Selma, who
made very pleasing talk on the work
of the Selma suffragists.
Thursday Closing Movement
Mrs W. l.. Murdoch, chairman of the
Thursday afternoon closing committee,
made a report on the progress they
had made in inducing all the merchant is
to close their stores al noon Thursday
of each week during the summer
months in order to give their employees
half holiday. Mrs. Murdoch stated
but that they had also met opposition
to the movement. She suggested that
all the members of the association take
the matter up personally with the mer-
chants they trade with and urge the
Thursday closing movement. She also
suggested that a Consumers league be
organized among the members of the
association to look after such matters
in order that their energies ana activi-
ties might not be diverted from the pur-
poses and intentions for which the as
sociation was formed.
Mrs. r.. L. johnson stated that along
the lines suggested by Mrs. Murdoch
a civic movement might be started to
clean up the town and carry out the
city beautiful idea. Mrs. Hundley sug-
gested that the members who belong to
the various clubs of the city take UP
the equal suffrage movement with them
and to give entertainments to the hus-
bands of the suffragists at stated times
to further the cause for which they had
banded together.

Democratic Trust Policy.

Now that the Democrats have got
ten their tariff law enacted, they seem
bent upon making a drive at the
trusts. Having no means at hand for
carrying out an antitrust policy they
forsooth have to fall back upon ex-
listing law. Thus the action of Presi-
dent Taft finds Endorsement. In sea-
son and out of season he was busy
bringing the Sherman antitrust law
to bear upon the forms of consolida-
ton that could not give a good &C
count of themselves.
The Democratic attorney general
Mr. McReynolds, proposes to make
the dissolution of the Harvester trust
by law drastic to the last article.
Claiming in his brief that the trust
arose through no economic need, but
through the Intervention of George
w. Perkins, a banker and insurance
man, at the fortunate moment, he asks
the dissolution of the trust and the
distribution of the stock of the parent
company. The good book says there
is time to laugh and a time to
weep, and it seems untimely when
the country is in the gasp of a gen
eral attack upon industry through the
tariff law to enter upon an antitrust
crusade.
AS a matter of fact, the Democratic
administration was afraid to carry out
its professions of taking the tariff off
Of all trust commodities and falls back
upon the recourse of President Taft
for trust-smashing, with the extreme
of radicalism that will not accomplish
the end better, but will surely tend to
alarm all consolidated enterprise.

MUST GET TOGETHER

Will Not Have, the Support of
the Majority of the
Electorate.

How long can a minority party 90

divisions between other parties op-
posed to it's most important policies
How many years will majorities that
agree upon the fundamental features
of such questions as the tariff and the
currency submit to political helpless

In Massachusetts the Democrats
boast of the election of their candi-
didate for governor by a larger plu-
rality than any Democrat ever had
before him in that state. They are
whereabouts, by which they carried
the head of their ticket to victory.
Yet the three other candidates who
stood on platforms opposed to the
Democratic tariff policy polled $4,000
more votes than the winner in a four
cornered contest.
In New Jersey there is much re-
joicing among Democratic politicians
because the presidents state has gone
Democratic this fall. But here, again.
the result is clearly due to the divi-
sions among the majority of the vot-
ers who stand for the protective tariff.
The combined vote of the Republicans
and the Progressives was 10000 or
more above the Democratic strength.

What is Woman S
Beauty but Health !!
And fhe Basis of Her Health and
Vigor Lies i7 ff1e Careful Reg
uE1fion of fF1e Bowels.

If woman's beauty depended upon
cosmetics, every woman would be
picture of loneliness. But beauty lies
deeper than that. 1t lies in health. In
the majority of cases the basis of
health, and the cause of sickness, can
be traced to the action of the bowels.
The headaches, the lassitude, the
saIlow skin and the 1usterless eyes are
usually due to constipation So many
things that women do habitually con-
duce to this trouble They do not eat
carefully, they eat indigestible foods
because the foods are served daintily
and they do not exercise enough But
whatever the particular cause may be
it is important that the condition
should be corrected.
An ideal remedy for women, and one
especially suited to their delicate re
quirements, is DIR. CaldweH's Syrup
Pepsin, which thousands of women en-
dorse highly, among them Mrs. G. S.
Vance, of 511 S. Ray ST, New Castle,
Pa. At times she had spells of indi-
gestion so severe that she thought she
would die. Syrup Pepsin regulated her
stomach and bowels, and she attr1b-
utes her excellent health today to this
remedy.
All the family can use DR. Caldwell s
Syrup Pepsin, for thousands of moth
ers give it to babies and children 1t
is also admirably suited to the require
ments of elderly people, in fact to all
who by reason of age or infrmity can
not stand harsh salts, cathartics, pills
or purgatives. These should always be

CREDIT GIVEN TO THE WIFE
Good and Sufficient Reasons Why Mar
ried Man Lives Longer Than
the Bachelor.

1t is good thing for a man to have
a wife to look after his ingoings and
outcomings-to enforce regularity in
his mode of iiving-to see that he is
clothed according to the requirements
of the temperature, and takes his UNI
brella when there is likelihood of
showers, and gets good meals at stated
hours
Jacques Bertillon, the French expect
on occupational mortality, has found
that low death rates occur particularly
in occupations in which the workman
is under more or less supervision as
regards not only health but also habits
of life, and in which he is surrounded
by influences tending to prevent dis
sipation, and conducive to regular
hours and regular habits. Bank clerks
and f1duciary employees who feel their
responsibilities are types of this. Ber-
tillon attributes much the same inf1u-
ence to marriage and family life. The
married man is supervised for his own
good, and, having added incentives to
self-restraint and to the care of his
health, he has a lower mortality than
the bachelor.-Journal of the Ameri-
can Medical Association.
