This thing of painting farm houses
is mighty catching" said an observant
man. "You let Bill Jones paint his
house and have all the passers-by ad-
miring it, and the next thing you know
Tom Brown and Henry Sykes say,
We'll, Bill Jones amt no better than |
am, and | guess my folks are as much
entitled to painted house as his are.
So they paint, too" It's mighty good
sort of contagion to be going around.
Paint pays not only in preserving lum-
Der but in giving new pride and dignity
to the family in the painted house. A
farmer in a painted house seems to
rather feel that ne has lined up with
the progressive folks, has advertised
himself as such, and that it's up to
him to make good-The Progressive
Farmer.

PEROXIDE CLEANSES BUT
DOES NOT HEAL.

at would be we'll for people to under
stand what peroxide Of hydrogen will
do and what it will not do" remarked
a dentist just after extracting two old
roots on which a large abscess had
formed ut is one of the best, if not
the very best antiseptics we have, but
it has no healing qualities. Many peo-
pie imagine that it will heal sore
place in the mouth, yet that is just
what it will not do.
II have just injected peroxide and
water into the cavities in the gums
from which | extracted those roots. I
did that to destroy the pus that had
been left behind by the abscess. For
that is the use of peroxide. 1t unites
chemically with the pus and kills the
germs that make it. But this is all
that it does, And if you continue to
use it you will retard the healing in
stead of fastening it. Peroxide. i'm
properly used, has injured almost as
many mouths as it has benefited. The
sore place in your mouth is clean now
and all it needs is something to keep
it clean while nature heals it. Peroxide
will not do that-in fact it will retard
it,"
The dentist then prescribed heal
ing wash. There are many such on
the market, but any one having tooth
pulled is foolish to select his own.

RABBI STERNHE|M
ON WOMAN SUFFRAGE

In an address by Rabbi Emanuel
Sternheim, of Baton Rouge, at the lun-
cheon of the Woman's Suffrage Party,
given at the Hotel Louisiana, New Or
leans, Thursday afternoon of last week,
he said in part:
For me, woman's suffrage is not a
political question in the narrow sense.
recognize the value and necessity of
active political work at this moment in
Louisiana, and in other places from
time to time, and / rejoice that it is
being attempted. | hope the word
male will be deleted in the right place
from that immaculate constitution,
which current agitation prophesies for
us. But to me Woman's suffrage is an
aspect Of the great Woman'S question,
the most fundamental of our age. 1t is
an aspect of that indefnable some
thing, so hard to define, so easy to
feel, of which the demand for the vote
is only symbol, test case, the right
and proper refusal to find in the sex
function the only purpose and outlet
of a woman's life. 1t is a realization
Of the growing consciousness that as
a resultant of education and the grad
ual raising of ideals and standards,
pessimists Notwithstanding, that real
democracy postulates equality for wo-
men not merely for the sake of their
economic independence, but for the
sake of ideal companionship for good
men. Growing out of this realization
is the conviction that as ultimately
education results in a higher compre-
hension of the function of the ballot,
so concurrently will grow the desire
that woman shall take her legitimate
part in upbuilding of the resultant of
progress, the attainment of a higher
ideal of democracy, which shall really
spell equality. Conviction, however, is
of little practical value unless it is
given practical expression. 1t is there
fore incumbent upon me, and upon you,
and upon all who think with US, to be
up and doing, serving the cause in
accord with our respective opportuni-
ties and abilities, for the sake of our
common cause and posterity.
Il pledge my fidelity to the cause of
Votes for Women, believing it means
an ennobled democracy for the United
States of America, and comprehends
the vision of definitely higher state
of society for all humanity"

DON'T NEED TO WALTON.
THE Progressive Farmer

Is it really mud-hole and a breed
ing place for disease that the pigs
seem to enjoy on hot day, or is 1t the
water that attracts them? AS long as
we like hog meat, especially ham and
becon, as much as we do, we are not
going to admit that hog doesn't like
clean water better than filth. Water,
except to drink, is not necessary for a
hog, if he has shade; but clean water
to wallow in is good for him. Why not
provide a wallowing vat that can be
cleaned out occasionally? Too much
trouble? Well, we have known men
who thought it too much trouble to
take bath.
