TO SHIP REMAINS
FOR CREMATION
BODY OF PRINTER WHO TOOK
HIS OWN LIFE, WILL BE
SHIPPED TO CINCINNATI, O.,
IN CHARGE OF FRIEND.

In line with his expressed wishes
as contained in a note which he wrote
before he swallowed the fatal dose
from a carbolic acid vial, the body of
the late Frank ]. Merath, the printer
will be shipped to crematory at
Cincinnati, o., probably on Tuesday
of this week, where, as he desired,
the body will be cremated.
Louis M. Cowgirl, member of the
local printers union, will accompany
the remains, and at Cincinnati will
properly direct the remains to the
cremation plant.
Merath, a dumb mute, committed
suicide Friday in Pensacola after
having been in Pensacola about ten
days. He was a member of the Typo
graphical Union, and local members
are interesting themselves in looking
after the carrying out of his last
written wishes.

were seven states working for a ia
vorable vote on suffrage at the polls,
the fund was severely taxed. But DIR.
Shaw declares that it will stand the
strain until all the states are suffrage
states since she believes the time is
not now far distant. And so each
year, Miss Anthony has the share she
wished in helping to win suffrage for
women.
There are many women today
says DR.. Shaw, "who are giving every
penny they can spare from their hard
earned money to help woman stuff
rage. That is one great reason why
the suffrage cause cannot suffer ulti-
mate defeat. It has behind it the de-
votion and the self-sacrifce of hun
dreds of thousands of women who are
following the example of this little
teacher of years ago"

What one woman who spent her

done for woman suffrage is brought
to light by four cheques of one hum

Howard Shaw, president of the Ma

from bequest left by Miss Mary Al

DR.. Shaw in sending the I cheques
wrote:
miss Lucy Anthony and to whom
the bequest was left call this our sa-
cred money as little Aunt Mary saved
every penny of it out of the poor
salary Of an old-time school teacher.
She taught for thirty years and made
it a rule to save something from every
dollar she earned. Every cent of the
money went to woman suffrage"

206 congressman
ARE PLEDGED FOR
WOMAN SUFFRAGE
REPRESENTATIVES WILL SUP
PORT FEDERAL AMENDMENT,
MRS. MEDILL MCCORMICK RE-
PORTS.
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.


New York, Sept. 25.-Two hundred
and six members of the national house
of representatives will vote for the
federal amendment for woman suff-
rage, according to a report made by
Mrs. Medill Mccormick of Chicago, to
the executive board of the National
Woman Suffrage Association today.
Mrs. McCormick's report puts two
hundred and six as the minimum
figure, with every likelihood that it
win increase before December, as adj
ditional reports are received, and as
a direct result of the pressure women
are planning to exert in various con-
gressional districts.
According to this estimate the wo
men have increased their strength in
the lower house by 80 votes over the
ia they mustered for the Susan b.
Anthony amendment last January.
"This estimate" said Mrs. McCor-
mick, lis based upon the reports Of
congressional district leaders who
have been quietly interviewing their
Representatives and senator's at their
homes this summer. We expect t.
issue a special report upon the sen
ate shortly"

THE FIGHTING CAPACITY.

Capacity to fight is not a condition
precedent to citizenship, nor is the
ability to become a soldier essential
to the making of competent and use
full voter. If so, then men should be
disqualified for the electoral franchise
if they cannot pass the medical exami-
nation of the recruiting officer or are
past the military age. No one ever
proposed such a rule of eligibility for
male voters. William Howard Taft

COOKERY AND c1vIcs.

Miss Jane Thomson of Chicago, who
is now working for suffrage in Roch-
ester, New York, recently challenged
the anti-suffragists of that city to
compete with her in making South
ern hot biscuits and chocolate cake.
No anti suffragist came forward to
accept the challenge so Miss Thomson
went ahead alone and gave demon
stration in the window of the head
quarters. Any hungry man or woman
was invited to come in and test the
cake and biscuits. After cooking all
day, Miss Thomson held street meet
ing at night, just to show that cook

each other.

Kansas, in 1913 the infant mortality
was IL per cent. The prenatal instruc-
ton given by nurses from the Public
Health Nursing Association to moth

fallen off 25 per cent. This is how
