ANTS Do NOT
MEASURE UP
International Suffrage Leader
Says Ants Evdde Duty.

"There has been in every place and
time a small fraction of the female
population which has claimed wom-
ans right to be free from all disagree
able duties, to be tricked out and fed,
to be dressed and ornamented at the
cost of others. The trail of these
women lies yer every prison in the
ed and lied and forged and embeZzled
to give them freedom from duty"
This is the opinion of Mrs. G. c.
Gait, president of the International
Woman Suffrage Alliance and suffrage
leader in New York, regarding the wo-
spOnsibility. O
"Anti-suffragists are demanding the
right of freedom from a duty" she
continues. '"They acknowledge that
voting is not a privilege, but a duty;
that if it is conferred they must ac-
saved from their duty. Their posters
in huge letters proclaim all over New
York city this desire to escape the in
convenience of duty. They say, 'Wom-
ans right is the right to freedom from
political duty
"Who gave her this right? Women
are members of the community, the
society, the family into which they
were born. How can they claim i'm
munity from duty in any M of these
positions and not in the other two?
AS members of each they are respon-
sible for the conditions of each. Other
wise they should give up their mem
bership. Are these women who are
loudly proclaiming their unwillingness
to discharge some of their duties will
ing to accept the alternative?'

RAILROAD MEN
PULL FOR JUSTICE
Says Sunny Billy Smith, Run
ner Up of Billy Sunday.

Sunny Billy Smith, erstwhile South
african evangelist and missionary and
now a Pennsylvania railroad brake
man, street corner preacher and ardent
equal suffrage advocate, told Jersey
City suffragists recently that the equal
suffrage movement was making rapid
Roadway among the railroad men.
"All classes of men on the railroads
today" he says, ARE beginning to re-
alize that they have two problems to
fight in order to keep up their wages
the problem CT immigrant and woman
labor. Without a union Or vote to help
them, they are both called to work on
the railroads in larger and larger num-
bers. Now they are thorns in the side
of their fellow workers.

is IT YOUR KIDNEYS?
Don't Mistake the Cause of Your
Troubles.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from a lame,
weak or aching back they think that
1t is only a muscular weakness; when
urinary trouble sets in they think it
will soon correct itself. And so it Is
with all the other symptoms of kidney
disorders. That is where the danger
often lies. You should realize that
these troubles often lead to dropsy or
Bright's disease. An effective RENEE
dy for weak or diseased kidneys is
Doan's Kidney Pills. Residents Of
this vicinity are constantly t~estifying.
Mrs. Anna B. Grain, 315 D St.,
Millville, N. J., says: 81 had weak
kidneys and my back ached. At
times 1 was dizzy and nervous.
Doan's Kidney Pills restored me to
health and I have had no trouble
since. Another of the family who

BOYS AND GIRLS CLUBS
IN NEW JERSEY.

The club work carried on by Miss
M. Anna Hauser, home economics spe-
%cialist, and Miss Fannie Cooper, state
leader in bows and girls club work
from the extension department of the
New Jersey State Agricultural Col
lege, has proven to be very successful.
At present there are thirty clubs in
different parts of the state, and more
are being organized. During the sum-
mer months each of the canning clubs
organized has had three canning de-
m~onstrations at which the boys and
girls actually did the work of canning
fruits and vegetables. They came to
each demonstration with their aprons,
one quart jar each, and enough fruit
or vegetables to fill it. The canning
was done under the direction of the
specialist in charge. In each case the
club members took the canned pro-
ducts home. The ladies of the COM
munity and all interested in canning
were invited to attend.
The growth of the clubs has been
surprisingly rapid. The smallest club
organized had but five members when
the work "a begun; its membership
has now increased to twelve.
The clubs have done much for girls
in interesting them in canning and
other household duties. The work is
educating them back to the home.
Club girls now assist their mothers in
canning fruits and vegetables, and in
some cases the daughters have taken
the entire responsibility of all the
home canning.
The organization of these clubs will
be continued throughout the year. Any
persons residing in communities in
which this work has not been organic
ed, who are DESTROYS of having the
work started in their locality, can re-
ceive assistance by writing to the New

plotted labor to the great disadvan-
age of her own men.
"Now l see it that the unions must
help to bring the women into the cleo
torate, where they can protect them
selves and assist to uphold the hand
of democracy against the hand of des-
potism.
1.-THE railroad men of America have
always had great affection for the
womanhood of their country. They
know how faithfully the lady auXil-
iaries have stood by their organizations
and how they have helped and cheered
in times Of need. They have often
seen how brave the women are when
they have been told that husband or
son has been killed by the railroad
and how, with the breadwinner gone.
they have courageously faced the prob
lem of earning a living for themselves
and their children under much harder
conditions than men.
1.-THE railroad men realize, too, what
women like Mrs. Otto Wittpenn have
lone for our state and how women
of this kind are ready to uphold jus
tice in getting widows pensions, eight
hour days and other measures which
aim to make the life of the working
man and working woman more worth
living.
Il think on Oct. 10 you will find the
railroad man pulling on the side of
justice, and the men of the east will
prove themselves as good as the men
of the west because they want to set
their mothers and their wives Free"
