BY MARY AQUIN.

The primaries held Tuesday disclose
that women are injecting into theil
voting something of their intuitions
with regard to bargains. In Chicago
46, 1000 out of $4,000 registered women
voted. This leaves a greater portion
that is at liberty to sign independent
petitions and is evidence of a desire
to be non-partisan. Such breadth OF
view vindicates woman of the petty
politics of man, it still being a hedge
hog proposition to get men big enough
to vote for issues. Lucy c. Owens
when she says:
"In order to be absolutely non-par-
tisan the women of eacn ward should
pick out the candidate for alderman
in that ward who will care for their
interests in the council. This should
be done without reference to the party
affiliations of the candidate, or to
those of the voter who supports his
candidacy. To vote for the best man
regardless of party is the real non
partisans.1ip. Simply to take the name
of Independent is not to be nonpar-
tisan, for often those who call them
selves by this name are more partisan
than those who have party affiliations.
The nonpartisan women should unite
to support the best man in each ward,
and by so doing they will be able to
have a city council elected this spring
the like of which has not been seen in
Chicago within the memory of man."
1t is confidently hoped and expected
that the women of Rock Island and

questions soon to be decided in those
cities. The woman who stands aloof
from voting because she thinks she is
capably represented by her husband,
father or brother has another belief
coming. Any one of these gentlemen
may be so entangied in political in
rrigues that he is no longer free in
dividual, but slave rather to what his
affiliations demand; he may be so
in judgment that he cannot

Things Worth Knowing.

When boiling clothes, place an I'M
peeled lemon cut in slices in the boil
er with the clothes to boil. This will
remove all stains and make the clothes
beautifully white.
Starch should be mixed with soapy
water; it prevents the iron from
sticking and gives the linen gloss.
A good way to cook green peas is
TO add lettuce leaf and a tablespoon
full of sugar. When putting on to boil
they will retain their color and have
much better flavor.
A pinch of salt added TO the coffee
or chocolate improves the flavor
greatly.
