COL. ROOSEVELT ANSWERS
ANTI-SUFFRAGE VIEWS

Oyster Bay, N. Y, Oct. 2S.-Former
President Roosevelt in letter read
at rally in behalf of woman suffrage
here tonight reiterated his belief in
the extension of suffrage to woman
and answered some of the arguments
of those opposing it. The letter says
in part:
The opponents of woman suffrage
say that it will take women away
from the home. If this were so,
should certainly not favor it, just as.
If giving man the suffrage took him
away from his business, / should not
favor it, for making and keeping the
home must always be the chief work
for both men and women. There is,
however, in my opinion nothing what
ever in this objection

FIRST-CLASS PHmOSOPHY

An actress, who acknowledges
weight of 227 pounds and who is de-
New York crowds with her
dancing and singing, issues this, as a
comfort TO fat females:
Lies too short TO worry about
figures Accept the conditions
gracefully, and get away with it.
This is about a ton of A No. 1 phil
osophy in a nutshell. The Slough of
Despond is full Of really fine females
cast down by worry over their shapes.
Last year fashion decreed the glob-
ular. figures figure. and every female
follower of the raging style went to
mourning over her points where the
bones showed through. This year,
the sylph is it, and the fat ones cut
out of their menu everything save the
anti-fat nostrums And so il goes.
Today. you've got 70 be pair of tongs
and, tomorrow a croOk-necked squash.
It's just one darned campaign after
another TO peel off or put on some
thing TO make you look what you
amt. It's very foolish. The whole
philosophy Of the thing lies in the
simple advice of that New York 227-
pounder-don't worry, accept what
you've got, and set away with it! Be
Iieve US. you can get away with il If
Won will
