WHAT FLORIDA FEDERATION
ACCOMPLISHED AT LEGISLATIVE

lists against the sale of whisky has
been too widely discussed and agita-
ted to require comment from me here.
Before closing my report / wish to
thank most heartily our Florida Club
Women who havS so loyalty given
their thought, work and inspiration
to the legislative department in its
work. 1t has been a privilege and a
pleasure to have come in contract, in
so short time, with so many ardent,
broadninded, well informed women.
Our president, also, as may readily
be suspected was interchangeable in her
efforts to secure the passage of our
bills. She never failed to lend hand
when a hand was needed. The local
committee. at Tallahassee who work
ed on the ground from the opening till
the close of the term in behalf of these
measures, cannot be too highly prais-
ed for their faithful efforts. Last of
ALL but by no means least, are our
Florida newspapers who almost with
out exception, have supported our
causes with enthusiasm.
Respectfully submitted,

Analysis of this deadly parallel

smaller assessed property value, a
smaller amount of property per cap
ita, smaller school enrolment, a
smaller number of high school and

ing, the basic improvement in a from
tier state, Montana's appropriation is
farical beside that of Idaho. This
for the credit side of civilization.
In prison, paupers, convicts, insane
and illiteracy, however, Montana
measures up to or passes the number
it should have in proportion to its
excess of population.
There is no marked difference be-
tween the climate, resources, occupa-
tons or type of population of these
two states. Both are frontier states,
lying side by side, with mining as
the chief industry.
There is, however, one great and
marked difference in their political
life. Idaho, which has the big per-
centages on the bright side of civil
lization, has had equal suffrage since
1896. Montana, which has the high
percentages on the SAD and sorry side,

Is it any wonder Montana decided,

TAKE SALTS TO
FLUSH KIDNEYS
Eat less meat if you feel Backachy or
Bladder troubles you Salts il
fine for Kidneys

Meat forms uric acid which excites
and overworks the kidneys in their
efforts to filter it from the system.
Regular eaters of meat must flush
the kidneys occasionally. You must
relieve them like you relieve your
bowels; removing all the acids, waste
and poison else you feel dull misery
in the kidney region, sharp pains in
the back or sick headache, dizziness,
your stomach sours, tongue is coated
and when the weather is bad you have
rheumatic twinges. The urine is
cloudy, full of sediment; the channels
often get irritated, obliging you to
get up two or three times during the
night.
To neutralize these irritating acids
and flush off the body's urinous waste
get about four ounces Of Jad Salts
from any pharmacy; take a table
spoonful in glass of water before
breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine and bladder
disorders disappear. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys
and stop bladder irritation. Jad Salts
is inexpensive harmless and makes q
delightful effervescent Whitewater
drink which millions of men and wo-
men take now and then, thus avoiding
serious kidney and bladder diseases.

To the Florida cIub-women.-

Now that the legislature has ad-
journed you will wish to know just
what has been gained and lost in the
way Of social betterment for the state.
Your legislative chairman has not
published this information from time
to time in the papers during the leg
islative session because measures
were being passed and rejected every
day, as well as amended, and state
rnent made today would probably have
had to be modified tomorrow and
more or less confusion would remain
in the minds Of the readers, as to what
really had taken place.
We will begin with the compulsory
education bill in which we were all
so interested. There were three bills
offered. The first, calling for state
wide compulsory education, though
by all means the strongest and best
measure offered, failed of serious con-
sideration in either house. The sec
ond bill, also called for state wide
compulsory education, but it carried
no enforcement and seemed to create
little favor. The third measure
which called for county option COM
pulsory education, although very
conservative and supported generally
by the county superintendent and
Professor Sheats, was subjected to
such drastic amendments that there
is fear that it will have little force in
the counties that decide to take ad-
vantage Of it. / have been unable so
far to secure copy Of the bill as
passed, and it is possible that care
full perusal of it may discover unsus-
pected merits in it. Meanwhile, we
can accept its insuficiencies as a spur
to urge US on to getting a stronger
more adequate law in 1917.
The State Industrial School for De-
linquent Girls bill passed at almost
the last minute when all its friends
had given up hope for its appear
ance before adjournment. That it
was passed at such a critical time is
due largely to the efforts of Mr.. Fagg
of the Children's Home Society who
arrived on the scene most opportune-
ly and succeeded in rescuing it from
an untimely death.

CLUB WOMEN WANT SUFFRAGE.

CLUB WOMEN WANT SUFFRAGE.
The great mass of club women
throughout the United States want
the vote. Not only did the great BIZ
ennial convention of the General Fed

equal suffrage, but declarations in
the following states have also en-
dorsed it:

lucky, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri
Montana, New Jersey, New Mexico
New York, North Dakota, Ohio, Ore

woMAN's VIEW OF WAR BRIDES

The Independent, of New York,
says: There is, we believe, less
chance than ever before in history
that child born now should fall
prey to militarism." This may be
true, but it would hardly loo kso to
young mother in Europe just now!
The Independent continues:
Zone of our reasons for believing
that long, if not permanent, peace
will follow the great war is that
wor11an's value to the state is becom-
ing recognized as never before, both
by herself and by man, and when it
becomes once accepted that her serv-
ice in bearing children is fully the
equivalent of his in bearing arms and
worthy of more respect, then woman's
voice will be heard on the question
of what shall become of her children
and his"

nothing new. Napolean obliged his
officers and soldiers to marry whole
sale, with the least possible regard
for their own. incIinations or those
of their wives; but respect for women
was not visibly increased. Indeed,
Napolean went further and advocat-
ed polygamy; but the editor of the
Independent would doubtless draw the
line at that, though it is the speed
lest way to multiply the race.) Value
for woman as a child-prcducer may
be coupled with thorough lack Of
respect for her apart from that. Thus
in certain European nations, in the
early centuries, the law punished
man severely for killing woman Of
child-bearing age, but let him of
with a small fine if the victim was
too young or too old to become a
mother.
The motives of the war brides are
to- be honored, but it is a mistaken
patriotism that urges men and women
into marriage without love. 1t would
be better to let the race increase
more slowly, and increase in a nat
ural and righteous way.

Dear Madam President:

Dear Madam President:
Will you as club and each indi-
vidual club member do some work
for Home Economies?

First, read the Snith-Lever Bill,
This year the money was disbursed
as follows: the men spent $1,000,
the women $4,000, expenses 81 900.
This allowed canning club work in
Fl counties and this was possible
only where the Boards of Public In
struction matched the appropriation
dollar for dollar.
This coming year has been already
provided for, making it possible to
have the work in "a counties. Has
your county canning club agent
and a travelling Home Economics
teacher?
Most nlgn schools include Home
Economics. Does the club woman
realize that only very small pro-
portion of Duh girls go to high school.
Too small q number in that way get
practical training for the life work.
Do not rest until cooking, sewing and
manual training are taught in the

Denyer.-William A. Sharpe, . me
chanic, after 10 years of experiment.
ing, is completing a machine which.
he says, can fly, run, swim and dive.
It is designed to carry four passen-
gers. 1t will derive its lifting and pro

wheels and revolving and oscillatins
propellers.
Sharpe is ffty.two years old and .
mechanical engineer, and has pat
ented an automobile starter, an auto
primer and q captive aeroplane.
He is constructing his new combt
nation machine at Sixteenth and
Broadway. He says it will travel on
the ground with the smoothness and
swiftness of . racing automobile or
shoot into the air with the perfect
equilibrium and ease of a swallow, and
be poised there; navigate the ocean
with the speed Of a motor boat, or can
be used IS a submarine. It is designed
to attain a speed Of from 30 to 300
miles an hour, carrying 1000 pounds
for each 1000 pounds weight Of the
car. There are four wheels on the
car, and in each wheel there are four
Dropellers. The entire vehicle is built
of pressed steel and aluminium.
"The device is designed on well.
