is the law in many of our states. Do you not think motherhood resents leg isIation that appropriates $5,000 for the better care of hogs, and refuses an appropriation of $5,000 for the bet ter care of children? This is what a re- cent Indiana Legislature did. Did you not think that motherhood does foster suffrage that stands for the protection Of girls? The law in Georgia and North Carolina puts the age of consent at 10 years, yet holds them responsi- ble for the most heinous indiscretion. Mississippi raised the age to F, and in seven other states it is 14. Is this chivalry, and is this legislation for the protection of girls? Do you think the governor of Arkansas would have ve- toed the bill for Home for Delinquent Girls, if the women of Arkansas had the ballot?
 Suffrage is no longer theory, but a fact, and here to stay, and the univer- sal enfranchisement of women is q simple act of justice.

An Open Letter to the People:
 A single case of measles is always responsible for the epidemic, and an epidemic of measles during the school ycar is calamity to the school chi Gren, to say nothing of the great dan ger 1t brings to the children under the age of three years. Measles always affects the eyes and the lungs and bronchial tubes. Frequently we find a case of weak eyes or chronic ear dis case dating back to a case of measles. Pneumonia of the most fatal kind fol lows in the wake of measles, and per sons who have recently been sick with rieasles are predisposed to pneumonia. singe case of measles in the home suspends all the children from school. By promptly reporting all cases of communicable disease you will pro tect your own children and the chll. dren next door

Hill gave description of the play as presented in New York by Irish players. He pronounced it one of the most tragical and gripping productions he had ever witnessed, and he has seen most everything.
