selves in public, felt it was necessary to try
and originate means Of really reaching the
public.
There is no opposition to Woman's Suffrage
of moment against it. The difficulty lies in not
being able to reach the actual voters and to
have them understand the reasons why women
are working to be enfranchised

n lion dollars year for foreign made
\ 4 articles. There is no good reason why
this money should not be kept in America and
spent for articles Made In U. S. A."
The tremendous recent growth of Germanys
business at home and abroad is due to
proper appreciation Of the fact that German.
made goods should be pushed In foreign
countries and also that none but German.made
goods should be purchased in Germany.
Here is very suggestive circular which has
been sent all over the empire by the various
German Chambers of Commerce:
In all expenses keep In mind tho
Interests of your eompatriots.
2-Never forget that when you buy
foreign articles your own country is poorer.
3-Your money should profit no one but
the Germant.
4HNever profane German factories by
using foreign machinery.
5-Never allow foreign eatables to be
served your table.
6-Write OIL German paper with Ger.
man pen, and use German blottIns paper.
7-Use German flour eat German fruit,
and drink German Beer. These alone give
your body :hc true German energy
e-if you don't like German Malt coffee,
drink coffee from the German Colonies.
9-Use only German clothes for your
dress and German hats for your head.
1o--Let foreign flattery distract you
from these precepts, and be firmly con-
WINGED that whatever others may say,
German products the only ones worthy
Of the citizens of the German father!and.

word German all through that appeal, and

Why should Americans buy imported"
goods? Usually they cost more; are they
any better?
Everybody knows of common knowledge
that no where in the world can anybody match
American shoes, American sewing -machines
American low-priced automobiles If this Is
true, as all admit of these three commodities
Is it also true Of the thousand and more OF
other manufactured articles? That Is what the
