FASHIONS FORM OF sERvI-
TUDE SAYS SUFFRAGE CLUB.

& & -
Spartanburg, s. c., May 1.-THE
Equal Suffrage Club of Spartanburg
at a meeting today adopted resolu-
tons declaring the close following of
fashions in Women's dress to be a
form of servitude' and that the whole
matter of style and it's fluctuations is
merely a money-making scheme reg
ulated mainly by men, The entire
meeting was devoted to the topic of
women dress. The following are the
resolutions:
Whereas, the Equal Suffrage Club
stands for the emancipation of wo-
men; and whereas, we realize the
close following of fashion is a form
of servitude and that the whole mat.
ter OF style and its fluctuations is
merely a money-making scheme reg
ulated by men; whereas we know that
the extremes of fashion and fads are
usually an expression of vulgar taste,
by which our young people are being
demoralized without realizing its true
significance; therefore, be it resolved:
That we, as body stand for good
health, good sense and conservatism
in dress; and that we make known
our position to the merchants and the
modistes of the city that we do all in
our power to create a public senti-
ment of this kind in Spartanburg. es-
pecially in the matter of conventional
street dress, and that we endeavor to
influence our young people in this
matter: that copy of these resolu-
lions be sent to every suffrage club
in the State"

GIRLS LOOK OUT FOR MOTHER.

Times Have Changed Since the Par
ent Protected the Daughter
Times have indeed changed. With
what care the old fashioned mother
protected the guileless simplicity OF
her daughter against contact with
everything dreadful or improper. Now
,adays the new fashioned daughter has
the old fashioned mother in hand.
From some club notes in an esteemed
contemporary we snip this:
Miss Lucille Erskine says the truth
about Poe" is not shocking at all and
that she will handle the subject from
Virginia, fhis only sympathetic bfog-
rapher' The Truth About Poe" will
be given at the Town club by Miss
Erskine and will be a perfectly lady
like summary of the poets life to
which any member may take her
mother with perfect impunity.
Yet we commend the rule to all adj
vanced young women who have moth
ers to rear-not only set good exam
pie to mother, but keep away from all
places where she may not be taken
with impunity. We allude particular
ly to art gatherings, salons, tearooms
and various coy corners of Bohemia
where sophistication, cigarettes and
even cocktails are little handmaidens
of culture A similar wholesome
principle pursued by young men
should likewise be good for father in
his impressionable years.-St Louis

GOOD FARMING HELPS
TO. CHECK INSECT DAMAGE


Most often the farmer who COM
plains loudest of the ravages of in
sect pests is the farmer who does the
poorest work. Stumps, thickets, foul
terraces and turn rows, all these ara
the mark of the careless farmer, and
they also furnish winter quarters for
many crop enemies. On the other
hand, the farmer with the broad,
open fields, clean cultivated terraces
and turn rows that are making crops
instead of weeds and briers, usually
has little to- fear from bugs ane
worms, largely because he hasn't
given them chance to hibernate and
breed
Another means by which the good
farmer aids is holding insect enemies
in check is by the use of we'll planned
crop rotations. AS a general rule, it
is safe to say that the longer a par
ticular crop is grown upon a partic-
ular field the more serious become
the losses from insects attacking the
crop in question. Now crop rotation.
intelligently handled, usually mean
soil building and this, in turn, is the
surest mark of the farmer who is "get-
ting on; so we are afforded another
instance of how good farming and in
sect control go together.
Still another means by which pests
are held in check is by planting crops
resistant or immune to their ravages
AS aSrule the careless, Indifferent far
meF5 doesn't know that such crops arc
in existence but the wide-awake, pro
gressive man is constantly on the
lookout for them and uses them
whenever they will help him in getting
better crops.
We don't mean to imply that all in
sects and diseases affecting our crops
can be held in check by such methods
as those outlined, for in many cases
direct remedies, such as spraying and
handpicking, must be used as we'll.
But even so, we usually find that the
man who is most careful to get out
the stumps, clean up the thicket and
fence rows, and who abhors patches
and briers where crops ought to be
growing, is usually the man who has
the well kept, we'll sprayed orchard,
and who tackles the bugs of garden
and field before they have chance
to get in their deadly work.
Thus it is that the character of the
work of the really good farmer sticks
out all over his farm, whether it be in
keeping lice off his hogs, boil weevils
off his cotton, or San Jose scale off
his peach trees.-Progressive Farmer

AFTER-EFFECTs OF TYPHOID.

We know the number of deaths from
typhoid fever, during the acute stage
of the disease, the number of persons
incapacitated as result of typhoid,
and the financial loss to the commun-
ity. But the after-effects on those
who have survived have not been con-
sidered A study of 1,574 cases of ty-
phoid fever in 1911 in the visiting
nurse service of the Metropolitan Life
Insurance Company shows that one,
hundred and 'forty-six of the patients
died while under the treatment, a
death rate of 9.28 per hundred. The
principal complications in the fatal
cases were intestinal perforation and
hemorrhage meningitis, pneumonia
and heart involvement. Of the l,528,
who recovered from the immediate re-
suits of the disease, the death rate
during the first three years was 81, or
nearly twice the normal death rate OF
26 for similar group of persons who
had not had typhoid. This increased
rate was the first year following re-
covery, less during the second year,
and still less the third.
AS a cause of death among the fifty
four patients who died within the
three years following recovery, tuber-
culosis heads the list (39 per cents,
with diseases of the heart following
GAS per cent?. In the United States
each year, 5000 deaths occur among
persons who have recovered from an
attack of typhoid fever but who, as a
result of impaired vitality from the dis
ease. succumb during the first or
second year after recovery.
Similar studies should be made of
the after-effects of other diseases. We
know. for example, says. The Journal
of the American Medical Association,
in a somewhat general way that
measles and whooping cough, as well
as other diseases, are not infrequently
followed by tuberculosis; but we have
not had an accurate comparison CT
actual to the expected mortality, and
it. is of Importance that We shon1d
have such comparisons.

PAGE WILL NOT BE CANDIDATE.

Washington, D. c.. May 13.-Con-
gresham Robert Newton Page of the
Seventh North Carolina district. has
definitely decided not to become a
candidate for the 'governorship to sue
coed Governor Locke Craig. He made
known his determination today in a
letter to a friend in the state, and
thus puts an end to the gossip and
speculation which has been rife
coupling him up in a race with Attor
ney, General Beckett and Lieutenant
Governor Daughtridge. 4r !.
He gives as his reasons the fact that
he will be busy in Washington with
his congressional duties during the
time it would be necessary for him
to make the campaign, and that he
will be of more value to his constitu-
-ents in his present position.
