MALL ORDER HOUSE KEEPS
TAB ON ADVERTISERS

The advertising manager Of one Of
Americas largest mail order houses
recently told a large convention of
advertising men that his company
maintains "a bureau whose duty it is
to read, each week, the weekly papers
from all over the country. This bu-
reau looks over these papers, and
when it finds a town where the mer-
chants are not advertising steadily
in the local papers that town is i'm
mediately flooded with literature. 1t
always brings results far in excess
of the same effort put forth in terri
tory where the local merchants con-
stantly use their local papers"

OF course behind this de-
sire to become a motion pic
ture actress there may be
foolish or unworthy motives.
1t may all come from the de-
fusion that there is much
money to be made in the pro-
fession at little expenditure
in honest work; or it may be
a false glamOr that makes ap-
peal. [ am sure that some
girls wish to become screen
actresses merely to satisfy a
silly vanity. They are the
sort that dote on being no

eve cannot but think the common
law WISE" declared Judge Ryan " in
excluding women from the profession
of the law. The profession enters
largely into the well-being of society,
and, to be honorably filled, and safely
to society, eXacts the devotion of life.
The law of nature destines and quail
ifies the female sex for the bearing
and nurture of children of our race,
and for the custody of the homes of
the world and their maintenance in
love and honor And all life-l LONG
callings Of women inconsistent with
the order of nature, and when volun-

WomaHs Emancipation in Wisconsin.

Wisconsin history affords few in
stances of progress as striking as
that presented during the past half
century by the women of the state
in their fight for equality with men.
Today sex discrimination in indus
try in the state has already disap-
peared; in politics Badger women
promise soon to win the franchise.
Contrast this with the stand taken
by Chief Justice E. G. Ryan of the
Wisconsin Supreme court just forty
years ago in rejecting the applica-

OF course it should! For after a
strenuous day when your muscles
nave been exercised to the limit an ap-
)lication of .Sloan's Liniment will take
he soreness and stiffness away and
get you in fine shape for the morrow.
You should also use it for sudden
ache, stings, bites and the many acct
tents that are incidental to vaca-

baggage as go on a vacation or camp
out without Sloan's Liniment" Writes
one vacationlst: I'VE use it for every
thing from cramps to toOthache." Put
a bottle in your bag, be prepared and
have no regrets.

SUPPLIED
WITH NEW REVOLVERS

Des Moines, July S.-Iowa's cavalry
forces will go to the front equipped
with two sizes of revolvers in the
same troop. This became known when
it was announced from Washington
that old 38 caliber guns had been is
sued to the new men Of the cavalry
troops. is S' W 'T -
Officers of the guard do not like this
little bit. They point out that it is
vitality, essential in handling small
arms ammunition that all members Of
the organization have weapons using
identical cartridges. 1t would be nee.
essary in action for the men handling
ammunition to ask every cavalryman
what kind of gun he carried, and the
men in the field could not supply each
other with cartridges if some of them
ran out.
1t is the view of the officers of the
guard that if the war department did
not have enough As revolvers to
equip the entire guard, it should have
recalled some of the heavier pistols
from organizations now carrying them
and assign the 3S revolvers to all Of
the members of certain troops.

B0OTLE GCERS GAN
ESCAPE PRISON
SUPREME COURT RULES THAT
TERMS MUST BE SERVED IN
THE COUNTY JAILs.

Des Moines, July S.-Opinions OF
lawyers here today differed on the ef-
feet of the decision handed down late
yesterday in the supreme court on the
validity of the law which empowers
courts to sentence convicted bootleg
gers to the penitentiary for not more
than one year. The court held the
law invalid What attorneys want to
know is whether, as result of the
decision, men serving time now may
be released.
The decision was handed down in
the case of Mike Flanagan of Sioux
City against the district court of
Woodbury. county. Flanagan was SEN
fenced to serve year for violation
of an injunction restraining him from
selling liquor. The decision revives
the old law. which held an Injunction
suit similar to the one brought against
Flanagan to be civil proceeding and
violation of the injunction punishable
with fine or imprisonment in the
county Jail a.. .. ..... 49,.
A feature OF the decision was that
it upheld the contention Of the de-
tense that the so-called fugitive slave
law, enacted during the civil war, ap-
piled to the case in court.
