DR.. Brady's Health Talk
Sprains and Strains.

In romantic fiction sprained ankle
serves useful purpose. 1t enables the
author to bring things to n climax.
The hero gets III his manly work, and
the heroine gets a chance to show her
fine endurance She faints and he
nurses her tenderly
In real life sprain has no redeeming
featuras. The heroine doesn't display
any great endurapee--on the contrary,
she seems II very pcevIsl. impatient
creature. And the hero just exhibits
remarkable capacity for criticising
the doctors treatment OF the case.
And in real life the doctor inste cad
of rushing In and acting like a clown
and patting folks on the back and
shaking his head in an uncertain way,
examines the ankle and wonders, pri-
vataly and under his breath, what
really is the matter, Is 1t just a
wrench of the joint? Is 1t fracture

MISS Alice Paul, executive chairman
OF the Congressional Union for Woman
Suffrage. the chief suffrage body i'm
the fight, let IT be known that the
union has gathered a campaign fund
Of more than $4,000 to be used in
pushing the amendment through the
House. The last thousand was sub
scrtbed only the other day by Mrs. O.
IL. II. Belmont, who has been giving
$1,000 II month to the cause for more
than year.
Mrs. William Kent, wife OF the repre-
sentative from California: Mrs. ellison
Gardner and other prominent Sufrrag-
lists have been spending hours every
day at the Capitol interviewing mem
bcrs
The anti<suffrage forces have been
equally as active. though attracting
less public attention. They have de-
lircrcd to every member of the House
much literature protesting against the
amendment.
One statement says in part:
The method proposed Of placing
political burdens upon the women OF
this country by constitutional amend
mcnt alone, without any expression
from the women themselves. is unfair
undcmocratic and un-American.
The overwhelming majority of
women do not want the ballot They
prefer TO be represented in politics by
tho mcn--their husbands, fathers,
brothers and sons.
Men and women are different by ma
ture and have different functions to
pcrform--woman, tho bearing and rear
Ing OF children and the dominion OF
the home; man. tho support. the de-
Tense and protection thereof. and to
his domain belong politics and politi-
cal controversies, which include the
ballot"
Mrs. Harriet Stanton Blatch and Miss
Florence King are to head delegation
OF suffragists coming on special
train from New York day or two
before the suffrage debate in the
House. Several special trains are TO
be run from New York and other
cities.

"a large part of the profits of many
ice companies are permitted to dribble
away in water because of the meltagc
of ice on the delivery wagons. The
Thomasville Ice and Mfg. Company,
Thomasville, Ca. were losing money
from this cause. but by applying their
brains to the problem they eliminated
this waste. as they explain in the fol-
lowing letter:
1--WE never let our ice wagons come
back to the factory after they leave
in the morning. When they want
their second. third or fourth loads they
phone the factory and the ice is sent
out to them fresh on a Little Giant"
truck. In this way the ice wagons
keep fresh ice all the time and there
is very little meltage.

us excellent satisfaction and we be.

MINERS PROVE INVALUABLE.

According to trade union officials, more
than 10000 miners have been recruited
into the British army since the beginning
of the war. Most of these have been en-
rolled as engineers or sappers, thus pro-
viding trained men for this work, which is
proving ofthe highest Importance in the
trench warfare on the western front.
The capture Of Hill 90, near Ypres is
case in point, where the spade played
vital point in the operations. Tunneling
and mine-laying Of d swift and certain ma
ture was essential to this operation, and the
sappers employed were skilled miners from
Wales and the north of England.
Accustomed to working underground,
with a complete mastery of the pick and
prop, and an instructive understanding of
all the difficulties to be encountered in the
way of cave4ins and falls of earth, these
skilled miners are able to drive saps and
tunnels with speed and accuracy not to
be attained in the case of ordinary Infantry
men, although every infantryman is given
thorough course of instruction in spade
work during his training.
Part Of the miners's usefulness, especially
in night work between theslines, lies in his
ability to see clearly in what to ordinary
persons is almost absolute darkness. This
special ability comes of course, from long
working in the half lights of the under
ground world 1t is of the greatest value,
not only in sapping and tunneling, but al
so in the work of the listening patrol n
in night attacks and reconoissances.

ON SECOND THOUGHT

Selected
have kicked about the taxes, as a lot of
people do;
I've often said | wondered what our land
was coming to-.
I've kicked about the railroads and bewailed
the reckless way
That cash is sometimes handled, which
commuters have to pay,
But in spite of my misgiving
About arbitrary rates,
am mighty glad Pm living
In these Old United States.
I've bewailed the tipping evil in pathetic
flights of song;
And expressed the sad opinion that all
graft is very wrong
From gunner to philanthropist Eve scanned
the social scale
And criticised my country in melancholy
wall.
Yet my joy | can't be hiding,
AS afar strange terror waits,
That | chance to be residing
In these old United States.
