be able to do much more than men are aDle 10 90.
So far, men have not been able to accomplish
much by voting.
And yet look forward to the time when they
will accomplish very much.
The trouble lies in the lack of cooperation
among men. Thus far such cooperation as men
have achieved has been very largely defeated by
the natural cooperation that exists between vested
interests.
Another reason for the failure OF men to make
voting as effective as it might be lies in their failure
to appreciate their rights Just they are be-
ginning find out just what their rights are. But
it is taking tremendous effort the part of COM
paratively few men to make the others appreciate
the importance of striving to secure these rights
and to keep the rights from being betrayed.
In speaking Of these very rights show how
onc-sided we are. We speak if the rights liter
ally belonged to men. But we forget that they
belong to human beings that is, both to men and
women. 1t is through the vote that secure
regulation of these rights.
Through indifference men have allowed them
selves to be sold out. 1t is worth noting that
they have been sold out by other men.
Incidentally, women have been sold out by
men.
To this very simple and obvious truth, however
few women seem to be alive. Even in the most inn
passioned addresses in favor of the suffrage never
see it referred to.
Meanwhile, we hear the progressves of all
parties bitterly denouncing the betrayal of the
people
Women are included among the people. they
not?
If the orators were bluntly asked this question
they would reply "Of course" But when they use
the term they really mean that the people are the
men of the nation, the voters.
Think of some of the things that women have
lost by not having the vote. They have been de-
privcd of voice in decisions that affect the health
of women, the character of women, the mainten-
ance of women as we'll as the health character and
maintenance of the children the women bring into
the world. Take, for example the problem of pow
erty. There must always have been men who
strove to solve this problem. Just there
thousands of men working. To hear these men talk
about voting you would think that, somehow, it
was a problem essentially masculine.
And yet voting relates to women
vitality than men. 1t directly relates to the quality
most priced by women chastity. Most men know,
and most women are beginning to find out that
there is direct relation between the virtue of
women and economic conditions.
There they go-hundreds of them, thousands,
millions, into prostitution and disease and death!
Meanwhile, we say that women should not be
interested in these matters That millions OF
women go into lives of shame and contract horrible
diseases, which they help to spread through the
race, is Of no concern to women.
Women arc too good to think of such things,
too refined.

1t is a very unpleasant subject, this subject of
poverty Its relation to the destruction of the souls
and bodies of women some people consider too
dreadful even to be discussed. They believe the
subject ought to be kept hidden Maybe they are
right And yet, we know that the hidden evils do
the greatest mischief in the world.
This particular evil has put on the race terri
bic burden of disease. And this disease in turn
helps to create more poverty. For instance, it
sends each year many thousands of human beings
to insane asylums. In large number of such cases
the patients have to be cared for at the expense of
the State.

Calumet the Secret Of Economy

The high cost OF living nowadays. and
the way prices are steadily climbing sky
wards, is making economy In the Kitchen
even more important than it was in the
good old days Of our thrifty ancestors.
But how to achieve economy? There's
the rub!
In many lines, 1t depends almost en-
tirely on the housewives knowledge Of
foods and on her watchfulness-but for
tunately, In one line, baking, economy
can be made almost automatic by the use
OF the famous Calumet Baking Powder
Economy in baking, as every good cook
knows depends not so much on economy
In buying the materials as on the success
OF her bakings. Failures mean waste
bigger losses by far than the savings she
makes In buying, And the fact that Calu-
met absolutely prevents failures and
makes every baking successful has made
1t the favorfte of every cook that seeks
to be economical. In other words, Calu-
met is the secret of economy in baking.
Tt Is the purest, too-attested by hun
dereds of leading physicians-and as fof.
It's general quality, 1t is enough to say
that Calumet has received the highest
awards at two Worlds Pure Food EXPOSE
tions--one in Chicago. H., and the other
In Paris. France, in March, 1912. ADV.
