Too many of our farmers use scrub

Relatives Here Anxiously Awaiting
News OF Relatives Fighting In War

Probably no other community in
Nevada has as many people more
deeply interested in the European
war as in Carson Valley. Many resi-
dents here are native born Germans.
and while they are now naturalized
and loyal citizens of the United
States, blood ties bind them to a keen
anxiety concerning the conflict nov
brothers fighting in the Kaiser's
army and the anxiety is. that of one
brother living in country of peace,
quiet and prosperity, fearing for the
safety of another who is fighting on a
bloody battlefield for theland of his
birth. This condition bring the war.
with all its horrors, to the very
hearth-sides of many of our best
known citizens.
Regular letter communication be
tween Germany and this country has
all but stopped. Letters written over
six weeks ago, are just now arriving.
and of course contain no news so
eagerly sought by relatives, because
these letters were written before the
nations went to war There is no
way OF telling whether or not broth
ers or other relatives have fallen in
battle, and it may be many months
before definite news of their fate will
be received by anxious relatives here

WOOD ALOOHOL!

Much has been written in recent
year regarding the almost criminal
Ignorance of the general public in
the use of wood alcohol, and it's in
furious effect not only on eyesight,
but on life itself. The Importance of
adequate protection of the public in
this regard is emphasized by a recent
tragedy in New York City. Three
women died and two were made dan
g%erously i'll from drinking home
made wine at a wedding feast. The
wine was made by the bridegroom
and was drunk by the two hundred
guests present. The recipe for the
beverage. the police say, was sugar,
water, alcohol and a red and green
colored matter. 1t was first thought
that the women were suffering from
ptomain poison, but the coroner's
physician pronounced death TO be due
to alcohol poisoning. and the police
declared that the wine was made with
wood alcohol. This dangerous poison
often kills and even when the life of
the victim is spared. he is generally
blinded for the rest of his life.

SUFFRAGE.

Addressing 1000 or more members
of the Women's City Club, DIR. Chas.
w. Elliot, whose antisuffrage senti-
ments have been quoted frequently.
said women were more interested in
modern government than men, and
that their services in remedying evils
which have grown up during the last
100 years were needed desperately.
His address follows, in part:
The hold of women on public
questions is the hold OF the ideal.
During the last fifty years there has
been an almost completely new ideal
of government developed. Women
now often know as much and are al
ways more interested in the present
or modern functions of government
than mel are, because the modern
functions of government relate to
the preservation of health and the
elaboration of education, to all sorts
of measures of preventive medicine
and preventing premature death, TO
the establishment of institutions for
the feebleminded, to the defense of
the community against alcoholism
provisions for the public recreation.
All of these things are measures te
which progressive cities now devote
q large part of their expenditures.
And they are all interests in which
women have as large a share as men
and more.
why more? Because the woman
has ever been interested not alone in
the welfare and future of the family.
1t Is. therefore. natural that all sorts
of organization of women should
have many times stronger interest
than mel in these things.
Nov there is a very urgent need
that woman take such action-a new
need. an urgent need, and some
times | think. a desperate need. The
civilization of the last 100 years has
developed evils which will work its
destruction and the destruction of
the white race unless remedies are
applied. One of these evils is city
life. and the other is the factory sys-
TEN. The human body was not made
for either.
You do o expect to correct
these evils on the spot. 1t is for flu
ture generations that you are going
to work. 1t seems to me that women
are better adapted to work for the
human beings of the future than men
are

Joined the ants. Mrs. T. N. Hepburn
president of the Connecticut Equal
Suffrage association, is reported as
saying. This action of mother and
daughter is significant OF the differ
ence between the past and the pres
ent generations
There are many other ~illustra-
tons. Former President Elliot sof
Harvard is opposed to equal suffrage.
His granddaughter belongs to the
Suffrage league. Prof. Munsterburg
of Harvard vas lately asked I con-
tribute one Of his books to a suffrage
sale. He answered, Il am not a suf-
fragist. but / am the father of one.
Ny daughter will send you one of her
books" President Wilson and his
wife are not s%uffragists, so far as is
known, though Mrs. Wilson has said
that she is not an anti. Two of their
daughters, however. are convinced
s~uffragists.
Sir Aimroth r. Wright is an ex-
IRENE and rabid opponent. His eldest
son. who has just died, left a large
bequest to the Suffrage association.
Gen" Rosalie Jones is an ardent
s~uffragist, her mother a confirmed
anti. Instances might be multiplied
almost indefinitely.
1t is pleasant to add that in recent
years the difference of opinion on this
question has seldom led to any quar-
rel In the family. The older and
younger members have agreed to diff
fer in peace-though probably in
some cases the elders acted upon the
principle of the Dutchman's wife.

TELLS OF wORKHousE EVILS.

Miss Vella Martin. expert investi-
gator of the women's department of
correctional institutions, under DIR.
Katharine b. Davis, commissioner of
correction, has submitted her first re-
pert on workhouse conditions on
Blackwell's Island. 1t was made
after two weeks of personal expert
ence of living day and night in the
woman's department of the work
house, and with constructive reform
in view. She says there is an utter
lack of discrimination in herding all
women together when they are re-
ceived, bathed, dressed, and when
their histories are reoited. The house
physician is a man.
In one CELL" she reports, "a
young girl arrested for the first time
for yagrancy had for a cell-mate an
old woman in prison over six times
for being drunk and disorderly.' A
more distressing instance is that of a
young first offender placed in a cell
with two old 'disorderly' prisoners,
one of whom has been convicted more
than six times and is diseased"

DIR. DAVIS ADVISES
WOMEN AS HEADS.

DIR. Katherine Bement Davis, who
has been SO e~onspicuously making
good as commissioner of Correction,
suggests the appointment of a woman
as police commissioner for New York
City, and a woman as head of the
STRENGTHENING department. She says
it has always been women's work to
do the spanking and the house
cleaning" These remarks were
made to about 1900 persons at a re-
cent meeting held by the Woman Suf-
frage Party in Brooklyn.
Miss Davis spoke of the valuable
work being done by women in minor
positions in the city departments.
regardless of politics. and regardless
of the heads of departments. She
told of one woman employed in the
postofiee for many years, who was
capable of performing the duties of
postmaster, and whose only hope, as
each new postmaster was appointed.
was that he would not be able TO

not interfere with the proper conduct

 Can't you imagine the mother of a
 debutante inquiring about the lecture and
 being told that it was good, but terribly
 poky and stupid, and that she (Dorothy)
 had good time though, because there were so many people there she knew. and they all had on new froeks? That night dad would learn from his wife where the debutante daughter had been, and the comment might be added that although she didn't understand h. sen, it would not do her any material harm to attend such affairs because it
 would be respite for awhile from the silly things girls were in the habit of doing these days. Meanwhile
 Dorothy has been telling one of her "girl ehums'' that she'd been invited to
 an 'Ibsen tango" and had had "big time" and they tried several new dances which were fascinating. But
 The only time Ibsen's name was men
 toned was when she said the affair was an ''lbsen tango" l suppose it's all a matter of tempera- ment liking Ibsen and Shaw and Tagore mad the rest-but when you are getting

 MT. Chesterton. be it known, is a very large, ponderous body of fat entirely surrounded by clothes, tremendously large. too, in order to cover his immense body.
 He's turned out to be a playwright as well as very clever author, and MT. Shaws name was on the programme with 'curtain raiser" in one of the London show houses when MT. Chester tons new play was presented for the first time MT. Shaw's "Fannys First Play is so

pearances notwithstanding neither hero nor saint has chosen wrongly They have but obeyed, and even though the saint be deceived and sold by the man he has preferred, still will there abide With him something imperishable, some thing by which he shall know that he was right and that he has nothing to re- gret- The soul will ever remember that the other soul was pure.
 When we venture to move the mysteri- ous stone that covers these mysteries. the heavily charged air surges up from the gulf, and words and thoughts fall around us like poisoned flies. Even our inner life seems trivial by the side of these unchanging deepnesses.
 When the angels stand before you, will you glory in never having sinned, and is there not an inferior innocence?
 When Jesus read the wretched thoughts Of the Pharaisees who surrounded the paralytic at Capernaum. are you sure that He looked at them. He judged their soul-and condemned it--without behold ing far away behind their thoughts "a brightness that was perhaps everlast- ing7
 And would He be a God if His con- demnation were irrevocable? But why does He speak as though He fingered on the threshold? Will the basest thoughts UT tne Hopiest inspiration leave mark on the diamonds surface? What good that is indeed on the heights but must smile at our gravest faults as we smile at the puppies on the hearth rug? And what god would he be who would not smile?. If you become truly pure, do you think you will try to con ceal the petty motives of your great ac- tons from the eyes of the angels before youf And yet are there not in us many things that will look pitiful indeed be- fore the gods assembled on the moun- tains?
