The Country Club will come into its

SUFFRAGISTS HAVE
REST ROOM.

Last year the only public rest room
in the city arranged for carnival visi-
tors was that established by the Pen
sacola Equal Suffrage League, and so
successful were they in their efforts
and their hospitality was so much
appreciated, that again they are
bending their energies to the end
that there may not be tired mother
or child or anyone weary with the
rush of the carnival season, who may
not find one spot of quiet, and the
refreshing tea that Pensacola suffra-
gists so we'll know how to brew.
Last year the rest room proved one
of the happiest inspirations suffra-
gists have ever had, for no matter
how care-free one may be, or how
enthusiastic, the time comes, sooner
or later, when there must be the
pause in the chase of pleasure, and
some spot where one must find few
moments of rest and refreshment.
There are many who make their
homes far from the centre of the
gayeties, who would fare badly in
deed were it not for the kindly hos
pitality of the suffragists, who by
Monday morning will have their rest
room in order, and extend the public
a cordial invitation to visit it during
each day of the carnival. There viii
be easy chairs and hospital cots, ano
the tea and waters, will be served.

'GF / SHOULD DIE To-NIGHT.n

If SHOULD DIE TONIGHT"
Editor of "What Do You Know-'I
inclose the poem asked for by G. K. L.
1t is called eff I should Die Tonight"
MRS. j. F. M.
A. E. S. has also been kind enough
to send in the poem. Here it is:
If / should die tonight,
Ny friends would look upon my quiet
face
Before they laid it in its resting place,
And deem that death had left it al
most fair;
And laying snow-white flowers
against my hair,
Would smooth it down with fearful
tenderness,
And fold my hands with lingering ca
ress,
Poor hands, so empty and so cold
tonight!
If l should die tonight
My friends would call to mind with
loving thought
Some kindly deeds the icy hands had
wrought,
Some gentle word the frozen lips had
said,
brands on which the willing feet had
sped.
The memory of my selfshness and
pride,
My hasty words, would all be put
aside,
And so I should be loved and
mourned tonight.
If ] should die tonight
Fen hearts estranged would turn once
more to me,
Recalling other DAYS remorsefulIy.
The eyes that chill me with avertet
glance
Would look upon me as of yore, per
chance,
And soften in thesold familiar way
For who could war with dumb, un
conscious clay?
So ! might rest forgiven tonight.
Oh, friends, I pray tonight,
Keep not your kisses for my dead
cold brow.
The way is lonely, let me feel then
now.
Think gently of me; am travel
worn;
My faltering feet are pierced Wit
many thorn.
Forgive, ah hearts estranged, forgiv
pleadi
When dreamless rest is mine I shall
not need
The tenderness for which I long to
night.
This poem is variously ascribed t
the Rev. A. J. Ryan, Alice Cary an
Ben King. Can any reader tel
whether its authorship has been def
nitely established?

GOATS MILK FOR CHILDREN
English Newspaper Asserts That 1t lie
In Many Respects Superior to
That From the Cow

Londoners, it seems. have expert
enced difficulties in getting clean milk
of the kind that cows give and there
has been some agitation about tuber-
culosis and other infection. In view
of this, correspondent of the Lon
don Times commends goats milk as
a food for London children. Though
goats milk is familiar elsewhere in
Europe, 1t is evident from what the
correspondent says that the people
of London look askance at 1t. Though
the goat is not an animal immune to
tuberculosis, the writer says, it is sell
dom affected by it, so that goats milk
can be guaranteed tubercle free in
almost any given instance.
"Unhappily," he continues, "the
mere mention of goats milk provokes
contempt II is said to be unpleasant
to taste, it is regarded as indigestible;
every fault which self-interest can
find has been found. But the truth
Is that clean-miiked goats milk has
no taste at all. 1t furnishes in itself
n guaranty against the filthy methods

not indigestible, but Is on the contrary
more easy TO digest than cows milk.
Dyspeptics flourish on it; the young
est children are able TO enjoy 1t. 1t
Is much richer in fats than cows milk,
and thus forms an ideal food for chill
dren with tendency to tuberculosis.
These children, too, are preserved
against the danger Of new infection
by tubercle while taking it.
"Some fifty years ago doctors in
London used to send their consump-
tive patients TO Scotland to drink
goats milk. The results often Justi-
fed the advice. Today we are, per-
haps, MS far from n successful treat
ment of consumption as we have ever
been. Here is food which our IA
Tiers have used with benefit but
which we have neglected. 1t Is a
cheap food, too, for goats cost less to
feed than cows and give more milk in
proportion. The peasant who Keeps
his mich goat has learned these truths
by happy experience. The poor mans
COW is valued possession in many
a country district. But in the towns
only contempt is bestowed upon 1t. Ii
goats milk were obtainable and were
given II trial 1t would soon supplant
cows milk as staple food of young
children and of tuberculosis patients.
The wonder is, indeed, in these days
of multiplying organizations, one has
not vet been formed to supply goats
milk to city dwellers.'

eermany's Motor Mixtures.

Owing to the shortage of gasoline
In Germany other motor fuels had to
be sought, and it is stated that the
one most used Is mixture of alco-
hol and benzol. According to re-
port of the American consul at Lyons
the results of experiments made with
a touring car, with an ordinary car
buretor, showed mileage of 4.66 miles
with one pint of a mixture of equal
parts alcohol and benzol, at speed
of ~ miles an hour. With one part
benzol and three alcohol 4.34 miles
were covered at 80 miles an hour.
With one part benzol and five of al
cohol the car covered 3.72 miles at SO
miles an hour. With pure benzol the
car covered $40 miles at AZ miles per
hour: and with gasoline the record was
500 miles at A miles per hour. These
figures may be of value in this coun-
try when the cessation of war de-
mands throw more benzol on the mar
ket.

CUPID IN DISGUISE
SMALL GIRL PROVED AN EFFI-
GENT MATCHMAKER.
Not Quite So Tactful as the Little God
of Love Would Have Been, but
Her Methods Were as
Effective.

Henderson rushed into the dingy
suburban railway station much the
same as he rushed about his business
greeted by four of his college friends,
all returning after a vacation.
While engaged in conversation with
his friends an elderly man approached,
stretched out his hand in greeting and
asked if Henderson was returning to
the college town. Answered in the af-
firmatlve, the man requested favor of
Henderson-that he assist his daugh-
ter, who was a schoolteacher in the
college town, to her home.
With visions of scrawny, bespec-
tacled, elderly schoolma'm, Henderson
obliglngly accepted the duty of escort,
agreeing to report soon to meet the
teacher.
He put off the meeting until he
heard the train whistle for the station.
Then he made his way to the women's
waiting room, where, to his surprise,
he beheld a bright and vivacious girl
of twenty-three years, with a merry
twinkle in her eyes.
Henderson's surprise was manifest
in his countenance when introduced
and his eyes clearly conveyed his
thoughts-that the girl was good to
look upon.
Boarding the crowded train, it be-
came convenient for them to sit togeth-
er and soon they found much to talk
about of interest to both.
Then "Buss" appeared on the scene.
"Buss" was a little girl about four
garet, but because she kept up con-
tinual chatter her mother had called
her "Buss." She manifested a keen
interested in Henderson and the teach
er. Finally she broke away from her
mother and crowded into the seat with
them.
Turning her large brown orbs upon
Henderson, she asked: do you like
herr" The question proved disconcert-
ing, to say the least, but finally Hen
derson managed to stammer that he
did. Then the same brown orbs turned
W Tic ltiChCl Win tiC oohiC AiquiiJ
Bushing profusely, the teacher stam-
mered much the same answer as did
Henderson.
Then "Buss" acted. She took the
teachers hand and placed it into that
of Henderson with this exclamation,
snow you are married"
Then her mother took her away with
severe reprimanding. But the mis-
chief had been done. After landing his
charge safely in her boarding house,
Henderson tried to forget it all, but he
was not successful.
Then came a day when he met the
teacher face to face on the street.
Both smiled and Henderson accompa-
MED her to her boarding house. When
he left some time later he took with
him her promise to attend the theater
two nights later. There were other oc-
casions when they met and frequent
ones, too. They married two years Ia
ter and have lived happily ever since.
"Buss" was the agent of Cupid

Gettin' Away With 1t.

tribution to the centennial parade In In

of the famous courthouse tower at

Now Greensburg has been infested
with petty burglars and their activities
are known even outside the county and

Yusn,s Speedy Immortality.

Yuan Shih Kai, according to popular
belief in China, is not dead at all. He
is thoroughly alive, but in a state or
extreme low visibility. Yuan saw his
difficulties increase till there was no
way out. The revolution in the south
seemed certain to bring his overthrow
and shameful death. The time was
ripe for disappearing.
So, according to this popular belief,
which already seems likely to become
established as an enduring legend, the
dictator slipped away incognito to
some remote interior region or to some
foreign land, while corpse or sack
of meal was left behind for obsequies
which were excessively private.
No one could have blamed Yuan for
wishing to disappear. Never was
man surrounded by more harrassing
tangle. He could not see any COM
Portable egress. But wishing to dis
appear and actually disappearing are
two very different things, especially
when one is a nations most conspicu-
Gus citizen. 1t Is unlikely that even
the craft of Yuan could have worked
the miracle .1st
In all probability Yuan is quite dead.
The Yuan legend may live, and do no
harm, but China's well wishers will
hope that the reactionary system OF
the dictator died with him, and that an
era of true enlightenment is dawning
for the troubled realm.
