EQUAL FRANCHISE MATTER

tanned at the home of Mrs. G. w.
Leighton on Saturday evening, May
%. The meeting was called to order
by our president. Mrs. R. Zadow.
The regular routine of business was
transacted and a very pleasant even
ing was enjoyed by all.
We believe that a woman's value
is certainly equal to that of a man,
since she has so many burdens add
ed to her make up. which applies
also to man.
A man and a woman marry, form
ing a nominal partnership. Too
often it proves to be nominal indeed
to the feminine half of the organiza-
tion. She is supposed to do her
share of the work, rather more than
her share of the economizing, and
incidentally bear and care for sever
al children. In return she has alb
solutely no financial independence or
individuality assured her as long as
she lives.
Usually she must ask for every
cent she needs, and no matter how
willing or generous the response,
there yet remains to every woman
with a grain of independence in her
make up the sting and the humila-
ton of having to ask for what she
feels should be hers as much as his
by right of years of faithful labor.
Instead of the man being tied by his
wife's apron strings, we more often
see the wife tied by her husbands
purse strings.
The next meeting of the Society
will be held at Mrs. A. P. Tenvoord's
Saturday evening, June 6, at 7:30

flowers and placing them over their
graves, and while we are sad, we are
satisfied, in that we are performing
the duties of love in remembering
our loved ones.

CORRESPONDENCE
Sanitary Measures Urged.

Now that the campaign in Bossier by
the health officers for the eradication of
the hook worm has been completed, it
would be interesting to know how many
have taken seriously the efforts OF this
campaign and are now trying to i'm
prove their home surroundings.
How many sanitary water closets have
been built?
How many have tried to get rid of the
soil on their premises that is already in
fected?
When parish funds were donated to
this cause it was for the purpose of
learning to what extent the inhabitants
of the parish were infected, and to teach
them how to get rid of and to prevent
other infection. Now that we know that
something like 10 to so per cent of the
population has hook worm and know
beyond doubt how to avoid others from
becoming infected, OF those who have
been treated from becoming reinfected,
it is every ones duty to make the nee
essary effort to rid our parish of this
disease.
1t has been money well expended, if
the information gained by reason Of the
campaign will be utilized. Otherwise,
it is lost. knowledge can benefit no one
unless it is properly applied.
Every home owner should construct
the sanitary closet, and keep it as near
sanitary as possible, as we will not have
benefited materially if we drop the
work now.
Quite number were much Interested
to know if they had this infection. The
same enthusiasm would do much to get
the country free of it il the proper effort
is made. Every school patron should
take up the matter with their School
Board member and urge sanitation until
the school houses and grounds are pu,
in sanitary condition. No one man OF
family can accomplish much in this, but
if every one would contend for it we car
succeed. PHO.
