BY SUBDIVISION
UNIQUE MIXTURE

About 1920 matted milks are
consumed annually by the students
OF the University of Wisconsin at
cost Of Sl4.2I0. enough money to buy
a good meal for $56,5S0 people This
is not mere guess. but the carefully
compiled figures submitted by deal
ers in the university district The
straws used in the matted milks II
placed in direct line would reach Is
miles. The matted milks consumed
would fill a reservoir Of thirteen thou
sand gallons. Over three tons of the
dry powder is consumed a year.
Figures show that 100000 cigar
cites are consumed annually by stu.
dents, at a cost of $500. The cigar
cites. if placed in direct line. would
reach around Lake Mendoza twice
There is enough paper in the cigar
cites consumed to make 1900 library
books of 100 pages each. There are
enough cigarettes consumed to supply
every one of the 5000 students with
40 cigarettes year. Uncle Sans
share of the tax which the student
pays amounts to about $3.50. If one
man smoked the cigarettes continual
ly for eighteen hours a day il would
take him six years to smoke all the
cigarettes consumed by the students
in one year
The total cost of the matted milks
and cigarettes amounts to $2L920,
enough to put 73 students through
one year of the university. The total
amount spent for these Injuries
would buy libraries Of the best liter
ature for 300 families supplying 100

SUFFRAGE CHIEF GRATIFIED
BY PRESIDENTS STAND
Mrs. F. NJ. Roessing Halls Wilson's
Statement as Great Victory

HARRISBURG, Oct. 6.--Mrs. Frank NJ.
Roessing president of the Pennsylvania
Woman Suffrage Association, gave out
the following statement this afternoon
relative to the endorsement of suffrage
by President Wilson:
I'VE always expected that the President
would uphold the women OF his State In
their efforts to secure Justice, and we re-
gard his statement as a logical conclusion
of his position on the fundamental rights
OF citizenship. We are especially pleased
to note, however, that Woman Suffrage is
regarded not only as a matter of justice
by the President, but that he believes
New Jersey will be greatly benefited by
the change.
although President Wilson will vote
in favor of Suffrage, not as the leader Of
his party In the nation, but upon his
private conviction as a citizen, we know
that the force OF his personal example
will be strong. For i'm MIR. Wilson's case
II viii signify much more than is due
simply to his official position, as he is a
lcvel-headed. clear-thinking man and not
easily swayed. He has been suspendng
his judgment about Woman Suffrage and
his announcement that he intended 10
vote for the Suffrage amendment in New
Jersey can only mean, as he so well
states that he believes the state as +.
whole will be greatly benefited by giving
Its women a voice In the electorate"
