and details of the battle are being
anxiously- awaited. Only this morn
ing the correspondents at the front
for British newspapers while writing
OF the British artillery and successes
warned the public that an advance
must be made by infantry and not by
artillery, and that the British army
could not expect to. come out Of the
engagement scathless.
First accounts OF the battle, how
ever, state that British casualties
were not heavy. The news spread
throughout London like wildfire.
There was a frantic rush to obtain
special editions Of. the evening news

eH|LD'VELFARE AND
Equal SUFFRAGE
Woman Physician Explains
Intimate Relations of
of the Two

sPlgs Is Pigs" was the title OF an
address delivered in the, court house
last night by DR.. Caroline Geisel OF
5-E.le Creek Michigan. DR.. Geisel Is
raduate of several American and
Fsreign Medical colleges and has been
q practicing physician and lecturer
for a great many years. DR.. Broom
field introduced the speaker
In part DR.. Geisel said:
4At present we hear on all sides
that the home is woman's place and
that her business OF childrearing is
OF utmost importance. There is no
doubt about It. This Is true. But how
much help does our government afford
to this vital business OF child.rearing? i?
The truth IS that before women's in.
fiuence was felt in the Children's Bu.
reau Act Of 1912, not cent was ap-
propriated by Congress for the study
or care of the children OF the country.
! Compare with this absolute indifser.
encef toward children the immense an.
I lpropriations made to the Bureaus Of
Animal industry, plant industry, and
ther COMMERCIAL interests. Why Is
thisf Because live stock is valuable.
Pigs Is Pigs.
Last year the National appropria-
hon for the Bureau OF ANIMAL Indus.
try was S4,500.000, that for Hog chol.
era was 100000. Now what did the
country do for Its children? 1t gave
the children's Bureau less than sls5,.
600. about one fouth OF what It spent
on the question Of hog cholera alone.
why Is this again? Because live
block and the other interests OF men
are valuable, and they need protection.
but the business Of women and chill.
dren rearing and hte home, will. as
you say. take care OF Itself, Can a
woman succeed In this business n you
pont keep her and you do not allow
her to keep herself? Answer this
Tor yourselves.
IF money values interest You, may
bay that the expert estimate on the
value OF o human child Is $4,000. Ey.
cSy year we lose 100000 babies, many
pr them by yfpreventable reasons. You
have been too busy with your business
to protect them and women have been
unable to protect, the child welfare
themselves. What is the loss to tbe
state in dollars? $3.50, 100000 a year,
the loss We suffer because you, who
make laws, don't know the value of
human life, nor realize the needs OF
the home.
Now this Is the fundamental reason
why we ask for suffrage. In coun.
tries with suffrage the death rate is
lowest. You say that home and chill.
aren are d sacred interest, and we
f,'iS you to let us as women, do what
y apparently have been too busy to
protect The welfare OF the state
-tAll that we ask you to do is to act
consistently. We have learned in
many years that we cannot help our.
selves or improve our business OF
home making and child rearing with.
put the right TO vote. We therefore
ISL the privilege OF the ballot"

REAL WHITE AFRICANS.

One Native Race, the Berbers. Hsvs
Fair Skin and Light Hair.
Most people imagine all African
tribes are dark skinned people. but this
is a wrong impression The Berbers
are an African race. and. although they
have lived on the dark continent for
ages. they are white as Europeans.
They are very fine looking people. with
white skin. fine complexion and many
have blue eyes and very light hair. and
many Of the women and young people
have very pretty rosy cheeks.
II Is pretty generally believed the
Berbers originally came from southern
Europe centuries ago, and the race has
remained distinct all these years in
spite of the odds that would seem to
be against them.
Many Of the Berbers are very in.
dustrious. and some show considerable
mechanical skill. having invented q
number OF devices that are In use
among the people Of their own tribe.
II they dressed and lived as Eu-
ropeans II would be difficult to detect
them from our more modern people.
but In their own way In the dark con.
tinent there is nothing to indicate their
origin except their color. which has
remained perfect for all these long
years as II they came from Europe

THE BETTER THE STORE THE BET
TER THE ADVERTISING PAYS. Your
own observations in the store-world will
confirm this truth.
PUBLICITY is bad only for bad pro-
position. 1t is just as surely good for good
one.
What is a "good store? One that really
SERVES THE PUBLIC, protecting its pa
irons as to VALUES, not merely as to
PRICES
There are many stores in this city an
swerng to that definition completely. In
every city there are always some stores that
do not.
An important phase of GOOD STORES
SERVICE TO ITS PATRONS is its news
paper advertising. This should be complete,
frank, informing 1t should tell the store
news as fully as good newspaper tells the
news of the day
Perhaps the best possible NEW POLICY
for the GOOD stores of this city to adopt
would be that of DOUBLING THE AID
VERTISING SPACE THAT THEY USE
thus giving them ''elbow room; giving
them bigger opportunities for telling their
patrons, in detail, about every selling event,
about every bargain Offering, about every

QUATE ADVERTISING would pay much
