THAT COLD YOU HAVE

may bring sickness, doctors bills and
loss of work; you know that serious
sickness usually starts with cold, and
a cold only exists where weakness
exists. Remember that.
Overcome the weakness and nature
cures the cold-that is the law of
reason. Carefully avoid dragged pills,
syrups or stimulants; they are only
props and braces and whips.
1t is the pure medicinal nourishment
in SCOTS Emulsion that quickly en-
riches the blood, strengthens the lungs
and helps heal the air passages.
And mark this well--Scott's Emul-
sion generates body heat as protection
against winter sickness. Get SCOTS
at your drug store today. 1t always
strengthens and builds up.

Denver Women Want
to Win the Offices
By United Press.


Denver, Colo, June 3-Votes for wo-
men as a slogan in an old equal suf
frage state like Colorado sounds like
a paradox, but the meaning Of new
woman's organization in this suffrage
city is exactly that.
The women have formed a union to
win offices for women. Non partisan
ship is the keynote of the new body.
Not since women obtained the ballot
in Colorado in 1893 have they voted
for women as party. They have vot.
ed as Republican, Democrats and Soc
ialists.
However, a taste of their power as
a unit has inspired the thirty-two fed
Grated and four unfederated women S
clubs in Denver to form themselves
into a Woman's Municipal league to
stand together and elect member of
the school board, an election commits
sioner, and, If possible, The next com
missioner of social welfare.
Only when Judge Ben b. Lindsey OF
the juvenile court was ignored by the
political parties and Miss Ellis Mere
dith was named for election commits
sioner did the women vote as women.
Their success at these times is the
basis Of the new faith that by wiping
out party lines they may place women
in positions of responsibility and
power.
In strong speeches by leading suf-
fragists, the women voters were urged
TO turn a deaf ear to the flattery of
men whose aim is to set woman
against woman in order that no wo-
man may be elected
