There are three reasons why women

moral" said Miss Hawk.

a strong, able bodied woman should
not support a husband If she chooses2
No; only a time worn prejudice rears
itself against such a procedure.
For the spiritual reason, there is the
great saying, Whatever We would that
men should do unto you, do We even so
to them AS women should rightfully
be the manager of the oldest of all In
situations, the home, is it any more
than fair that she should be permitted
to ask the man of her ideals to help

RIDES A FISH TO DEATH.
Hiram Also Keeps His Prize Despite
State Game Wardens.

Appleton, Wis.-Riding a fish and
killing it is not catching it. Such is the
decision of the state game wardens in
the case of Hiram Beveridge.
The water in the Fox river has been
low Of late, and Hiram saw n six foot
sturgeon in a shallow pool below the
John street dam. He tried to catch it
by the tail, but failed. Then he jumped
and landed on its back. 1t was worse
than riding Il bucking broncho, but he
seized a stone when the fish was floun-
dering in shallow water and beat it to
death.
Hiram's knees were scraped raw and
his legs cut, but he got seventy pounds
of fish and furnished the basis for a
new legal decision to ring down the
ages

SOUVENIRS FOR BRIDES.
New York Suffragists Tell Each New
Wife Power Vote Would Bring.

Wife Power Vote Would Bring
New York.-Little American flags
and suffrage buttons were given out at
the marriage license bureau to all the
brides of the greater city recently by
New York city suffragists, The dem
onstration took place just as the sol
diers were called out to camp, and SO
many of the brides were fearful little
war brides, to whom the American
flags presented by the suffragists were
peculiarly appropriate. With the flags
and buttons each bride received a box
of wedding cake tied with suffrage rib
bon and a brides leaflet advising each
new wife of the power she might gain
for husband and children if she had
the vote.
The leaflet told of the good laws wo-
men have helped to gain in the twelve
suffrage states for the protection of
men, women and children. 1t ended
with an appeal to every bride to join
the suffrage movement, which is en-
deavoring to extend the wife and
mother influence throughout the state

FORTUNE AWAITS TWO GIRLS.
Man Will Leave $4,000 Estate to a

Chicago.-An unusual situation due
TO the dearth in domestics came to
light recently when the Illinois free
employment office announced that a
man worth $4,000 who is adding ST.,
600 a year to his belongings is willing
to give his fortune at the death of him
self and his wife TO two girls, one a do

from Berlin the same as any other de-
partment of the imperial government
The war nutrition office has complete
control of all foodstuffs and raw mate
rails of food and fodder, and first of all
will do away with private profit in the
sale of food, especially meat, bread.
milk and butter.
While the mass of the German peo-
pie has displayed extraordinary self
denial since the war began, there has
been speculation in food, and the poor
have suffered in consequence. Batocki's
appointment was made shortly after
butcher shops in Berlin and the sub
urbs were raided by angry mobs of
women who had sought in vain to buy
meat, only to be told by the butchers
that they had none. Midnight watching
revealed a brisk trade which the
butchers carried on with patrons who
could afford to pay exorbitant rates.
The police were active in prosecuting
the gamblers in food, but the evil was
not eliminated. One butcher, Klaus
mann, whose shop was in the Hoheluft-
Chausee, was convicted of selling sau-
sage made of semi-putrid meats deodor-
lied by chemicals. One of his patrons,
the principal Of large school, had him
arrested after several of the children
had died from eating his sausages,
The man hanged himself in prison.
The bakers were not guiltless, one of
them. Gustav BruschYitz, doing busi-
ness in the Naugardenstrasse, having
been arrested for increasing the weight
of his bread tickets by watering them.
The bread coupons when arranged In
large quantities normally weighed a
certain amount and when presented in
bundles to the bread committee in re-
turn for -four were exchanged accord
ing to the weight of the bundle of tick
cts. Bruschwitz found that perfectly
dry tickets in the bundle weighed 12O
pounds. while the bundle after being
moistened with water weighed 15l
pounds. His depredations were finally
discovered, and he had to pay big
fine as well as serve sentence in
prison.
The appointment of Batocki as food
dictator, in the first place, was TO con-
troll these human food hogs as they
are called in Germany, the butchers,
the bakers, the farmers, etc. His du-
ties also are intended to regulate the
expenditure of money for food among
the working classes. particularly the
Young women, who are earning hlgher
wages than they ever dreamed of get
ting and frequently spending 1t IN eX-
pensive restaurants. Many girls. tax
ing the places of men in different de-
nartments of business, have had their
wages increased three or four times
over. The German law permits the
state TO supervise the expenditure of
child. but not of a person who is OF
age. These girls apparently have IN
vested in war bonds to some extent
and then have had a large surplus re-
naming. which has burned in their
purses until it could be flung away In
useless luxury.
Batockis appointment did not sur
prise his friends. A large landowner
in East Prussia, several years before
the opening of the war he had been
president of the Agricultural Chamber
of East Prussia and member OF the
house of lords, an authority on political
economy. the tariff and other questions
concerned with commerce and indus
try.
