Some people tolerate roach es and waterbugs in the kit chen, in vain belief that the rest of the family will not find it out. Perhaps they will not, but suppose that some day you would serve a roach in the pie; perhaps then you would wish that you had spent 20c for a box of Cyrus Roach Powder. It is certainly worth your while.

HEART BALM SUITS
RELIC OF BARBARISM

CHICAGO. ILL.,, Oct. l-.-"Breach of
promise suits are relics OF barbarian.
and In the light OF twentieth century
ethics they must soon become obso-
lete." declares DR.. Lucy Waite, Chi
cago clubwoman and suffragist.
"If women are ever to be the social
equals of men they must take their
chances In affairs of the heart as well
as IN other affairs of the world, equal
ly with men. Breach Of promise suits
are relics OF the time when marriage
offered women practically their only
means Of support. But In these days
when there is honorable work for wo-
men to do they should scorn to put q
price on their love or use any means
to compel men to marry them.
When women are economically In
dependent we will have no suits for
breach of promise to marry. The wo-
man who has her own income can
look a man squarely In the face
and demand of him manliness, cul-
ture, integrity. and not money"
