At THE NOMANTS CLUB.
Members Addressed on Female Suffrage
by Miss Frances Anderson

A meeting Of unusual interest was
held at the Womans Club last Satur-
day. when Miss Frances Anderson adj
dressed the club on "Woman's Suf-
frage." Ii was a pleasure TO welcome
Miss Anderson among US. and a priv
iIege to hear her so charmingIy and
forcefuliy talk on this subject of vital
interest to each of US.
All business was deferred until an
other meeting; and, with her usual
grace. Mrs. Jack Camp, president of
the club, introduced Miss Anderson, as
follows:
In days gone by the very name of
'woman's suffrage made the retiring
dame Of our mothers days shudder
with dread.
Like many other unknown things,
It has become clearer and clearer as
we approach il, and now, every mod
ern woman, if not an avowed suffra-
gist, knows at least, what woman's
suffrage stands for. We also know
that many laws relating to the rights
of mothers and of widowed or orphan
ed women have been passed only at
the instance of these followers of, and
believers in, woman's suffrage.
I'VE have also learned that the ad-
vocates are women of sweetness of
manner and womanliness of bearing.
1t is my pleasure this afternoon to
present TO you just such a woman.
who will speak to us on the subject,
knowing that whether in sympathy
With her subject or not, she can count
on Us as being in sympathy with the
speaker"
Miss Andersons address was very
clear and convincing. The Star will
present it to its readers in a day or
two.
At the close of Miss Anderson's ad-
dress, an informal reception was held,
and a very delightful half-hour was
spent by the club members and their
many guests for the afternoon, with
Miss Anderson.
Misses Lucy Moorhead, Annie Davis,
Isabel Mayes, Annie Atkinson and Lois
Ellis were hostesses at this meeting
and served dainty sandwiches and re-
freshing tea.

of tires or tubes, and he is agent for
and carries in stock all the time a full
line of sizes and rims in Fisk and
Firestone tires, about the best that
they make, I guess.
Polly" said Uncle Jake, it is inevi-
table that some time you or John will
have to consult an eye specialist, and
when you have that disagreeable duty
to perform, go to a good one, always.
We have in Ocala sucn a man in DR..
D. NJ Boney, and want you both to
go with me to his office in the Gary
block and meet him."
They found DR.. Boney thoroughly
equipped for his profession with every
modern appliance and John told Uncle
Jake that he was surprised to find
such elegantly equipped optical par
lors away down in Florida. Dr. Boney
draws his business from all over the
state. Uncle. Jake told them, and that
he certainly understood his business.
MY children" exclaimed Uncle
Jake, "the day grows older and 1
think we may take little drive out
of the city limits to one of the most
beautiful spots near this beautiful
city of Ocala. I have in mind the
Ocala Heights Dairy and Ivy Poultry
Farms. We will drive out there and
arrange with the Ocala Heights Dairy
to leave you a supply of milk at the
cottage when you begin housekeeping
there, which I guess you can do in
two or three days, for it looks to me
like it will not take long for the mer-
chants to deliver all of the things you
have fallen heir to-"
The young folks were delighted
with the lovely location of the dairy
and the splendid sanitary and modern
equipment of the plant and as Polly
said, she would love to use milk from
such a pretty dairy, where things
were SO clean and br'g ht.
Now" said Uncle Jake, lets go
back to town, have a good lunch and
go to the Ideal Theater, where. with
an evening of pure fun, we will close
a day of hard work which, however,
has not been without its full measure
of enjoyment to your aged uncle, if he
did have to supply the sinews of war
So to the Ideal the party went,
where they met Mr.. Adams, the pro-
prietor, and enjoyed the beautiful mo-
ton pictures and rested themselves on
the comfortable seats of the pretty lit
tie theater.
How they do improve on these pic
lures" said Uncle Jake. az remember
just a few years ago they used to fiut-
ter so and it gave one a terrible head
ache to look at them for ten minutes.
Now it is just like looking at a land
|scape"
The happy but tired party then went
to their hotel for a nights rest, to be
refreshed for the pleasant duties of
getting their little home in shape to
begin in earnest their new life in
Ocala.

restriction against opening the front
door the results were amazing. For
instance. on the day before the order
for closing the saloons there were SIS
arrests for drunkenness. On the day
they closed there We're ten arrests and
on the following but one arrest Of a
drunken man. After that when the
saloon men turned their bars into
blind tigers by utilizing the back
doors the arrests run up to 10 day.
He paid a most glowing tribute to
the ". C. T. T., calling them the
mother Of the Anti-SaIoon League, and
said that the amount of work that they
did and the quantities OF literature
they sent out was simply marvellous
The speaker said that the whisky
element of Jacksonville. unless curbed
by law, would soon own the whole
city and control every branch of the
city government; that they were max
ing so much money that they had to
find some place to invest it, and he
gave humorous account of his efforts
to find a tenement for himself and
family that was not directly or in
directly the property of a member of
the whisky ring.
Jacksonville, he said, did the largest
mail order business in liquors of any
city in the United States. and that the
government was compelled to ship
enormous sums Of money each month
TO the postoffce there TO meet the de-
mand made in cashing postoffice or
ders to pay for those same liquors,
Jacksonville doing a larger business
in the money order department than
any city in the south.
He spoke Of the needs of the Kenyon
bill now before Congress, to prohibit
the railroads, express companies and
other carriers from carrying liquor
into dry states or counties, thereby
multiplying the voice of the people who
had declared by their ballots that they
did not want it there. And he teld of
the disgraeefuI scenes enacted Satur-
day night around the express offices
ordered from Jacksonville, or some
other wet city, is delivered, but even
those scenes did not compare with the
horrors of the open saloon in the
towns where they were still permitted
to exist.
DR. Crooke is an ordained Methodist
minister and belongs to the Florida
conference. He has splendid voice
and delivery and though there was
nothing of a sensational character in
his discourse he impressed his hearers
full of the cause he was advocating,
to- wit: the adjustment of the open
saloon.

Really and truly, the State Railroad
Commission, the State Board of Health
or the indignant public should save
the Atlantic Coast Line from itself
and make it put decent coaches on
Nos. Az and Al, otherwise known as the
Homosassa train. 1t is very ine1egant
and also very true, to say that the cars
on this run are not much better than
so many travelling closets; in fact, ev-
cry travelling man knows where he
can find closets that look better and
smell better than these cars, which
were probably used as Jim Crow cars
on some other division before they
were put on this one. Just as nice
people as live anywhere in the world
travel between here and Homosassa,
and il is a crime as well as a shame
to make them use such cars. The
Star has been hoping these cars would
be smashed to kindling, or be burn
ed for several years, but the devil
seems to be taking care of his own.

OF course, it's our canal; its our
moral and legal right to do as we
please with it. But the steamship
companies which want to send their
vessels thru the canal free of tolls are
the same companies that are making
combines with the railroad corpora
lions to keep up freight rates that the
people of all the United States have to
pay. SO it might be just as well to
make them pay tolls to help the other
people of the United States pay the
expenses of the canal.

Baby Mine" will also be produced in
Paris, Berlin, Vienna, st. Petersburg,
Australia, South America and Japan,
thus putting a girdle of laughter
around the world. One of the elements
of the success of Baby Mine" is the
heartiness with which it is presented
by the excellent company. Laughter
is never forced, and is never courted
by an approach to Vulgarity. The
company seems to enter completely
into the fun of the thing and to en-
joy it as much as the audience. Their
spirit is unfagging, and their percep
ton of the possibilities of every sit
uation complete. If it is true that a
good hearty laugh saves man a doc
tors bill, BABY Mine" will make ev-
cry playgoer add a long list of credits
to his medicine account.
