Cases of Scarlet Fever.

The health of Vermont so far as con-
tagious diseases go, is excellent Accord
ing to the information furnished to Secre-
tary Dalton Of the State board of health
Smallpox has evidently been stamped out
effectually, as no cases have been report
ed for several months. and unless a case
is imported from Canada the State will
probably remain free from that Scourge

An ECONOMICAL COOK BOOK.

Many cook books are so expensive
in their recipes as to be of little
value to the average housekeeper.
Women who have used LOwney's Cook
Book say that it has saved them many
times what they paid for 1t. because
the recipes are economical and prac-
teal, and within the means of the
average home.
Here is a whole department on
how to buy and cut meats to get the
most for your money. There are
hundreds of inexpensive cuts of meat,
which If properly prepared are just as
paIatable and nutritious as expensive
cuts. Lowney's Cook Book gives you
the latest ideas on economical buying
and cooking of meats.
Another example of economy in
Lowney's is the collection of new cake
recipes. many of which call for onlj-
two eggs. Experienced cooks know
that is economical for a good cake
recipe.
Every department from soups to
desserts contains economical, prac-
teal recipes which will save you
money
In addition to the economy of the
| recipes. remember that Lowney's Is
the very newest, most up-to-date

LABOR'S AID TO SUFFRAGE
Pennsylvania Union Official Sny,
Workers Favor IT..
(From the New York Post.


The position of the Pennsylvania state
Federation of Labor on the question OIL
woman suffrage and. incidentally, with
what safety a suffragist can change herr
mind and become an "anti" and then ap-|
pear before the rule committee in Wash
ington to declare, as a representative oil
the Iron City central trades council, that
so per cent. of tn union men are opposed
to woman suffrage, are points answered
by the result of an Investigation Of Mrs
Frank VI. Roessing, president of the Penn
sylvania Womans Suffrage association
She found that Miss Emmelne Pitt hadI
attended the State suffrage convention I'M
good standing two years ago, but just be-
fore the Washington convention she paid
her dues and resigned from the associa I
ton, and then appeared in Washington
as an anti.
Mrs. Boessing then wrote Francis Fee
han, the second vice-preSident of the
Pennsylvania federation of Labor ask
ing him whether Miss Pitt was to Wash
ington as the representative of the Iror
city central trades council Mr.. Feehans
reply was to the effect that Miss Pit
had had no authority to represent tn
Iron CITY central trades council. He alsC
added
"ln reply to the statement made by Miss
Pitt that 70 or 50 percent Of the union

PAPER CONSTITUTIONS.
As Applicable to the Countries South

(From the Mexican Herald.)

(From the Mexican Herald.)
It might have been better for Mexico
had it. like Great Britain, an unwritten
constitution, for the paper constitutions or
1924 and 1857 have been. in too many In
stances out Of harmony with the actuali-
ties. This is a country which requires a
highly centralized government. like that
which France enjoys, a system more
closely corresponding to the needs OF Mex
leo than the federal scheme which theo-
retically obtains
Paper constitutions have not been an
unmixed blessing to the Latin-American
countries and, to tell the truth. political
theories embodied in their respective or
ganic laws have been both their ban and
their curse. When they have politically
prospered it has been when they have
overrden theories with strong govern
ments.
Simon Bolivar. the pioneer Of South
American independence, who was most
conservative in his opinions. had for his
original idea "A constitutional monarchy
under a foreign prince. He held that n
monarchy offered greater stability and
greater security Tor order IMAM a repuO-
lie. Bolvar's final notion seems to have
been that of an irremovable and irrespon-
sible president and an upper house of SEN
ators holding office for life, or even
heredita rily.
Thus the great South American patriot
read the Latin-American character. And
who will say that he was not right
Latin-America fairly yearns for the

clear perception of this fact would pre-

tribution of property, the domes-

without order civilization. as we
understand 1t, can not exist.

cent years an uneasy suspicion
has come into being that the
principle Of authority has been
dangerously impaired, and that

of Louisiana, and Mr. Quincy
spoke as follows: Mr.. Speaker.

appears that this measure would
justify a revolution in this coun-
try. am compelled to declare

the Union are virtually dissolved;
that the States which compose 1t

right of all, so it will be the duty

popularity and power, at least
in America, toward the close of
the third quarter of the nine

next quarter resistance to capt.

shape in such legislation as the
Interstate Commerce law and the
