HEAD OF NATIONAL
WOMAN SUJFFRAGTSTS
| FORESEES VICTORY
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait,
President of Association, Ex-
presses Confidence in Outcome
of Battle for Franchise
VOTE MEANS EQUALITY
BY JANE HILL

ATLANTIC CITY. Sept. 5.-Mrs. Carrie
Chapman Gait. president of the National
Woman Suffrage Association, which will
open its convention here tomorrow morn
Ing. declared that when American women
have the right to vote they will discuss
fashions in law rather than fashions in
clothes. Mrs. Gait is staying at the Marl-
/ borough -Blenheim, where she discussed the
benefit which she believes will accure when
women awaken to their political conscious
ness
In answer to the question. what will the
right of suffrage do for the American
women9" she laughingly replied. Why
not ask me IL the soul is immortal?" For
TO Mrs. Gait the beautiful millennium to
be brought about by the granting OF the
franchise TO women Is real that II is
like an axiom-a truth that needs no dem
enstration.
The leader of the suffragists impresses
one as being extremely capable. Mrs. Gait
has a big. forceful personality and she
speaks In short, terse sentences that carry
conviction. She is pre-eminently a leader /;
yet she belongs more TO the mother rather
than to the aggressive type OF woman. Her
face Is softened by waYy gray hair that is
almost white at the temples and she has
kindly blue-sray eyes and high intel
IectuRl forehead.
SUFFRAGE 4 POTENT INFLUENCE
The right OF suffrage will do this for
women" she spntinued 'Tt will teach her
TO think for herself The average woman
does not use her mind In the way that she

but he thought that Il was well for women

They fear that II women are given the bal

women will also become more capable
mothers. for they will help TO make wiser
and better laws for the safeguarding OF
their young.
Because woman's added self-respect will
make her happier. so In turn will IL make
her husband and her home happier, and
husbands and wives will be more com
panionabls than they are today.

FALL HATS AT GIMBELs
No More Stiff Brims-Black Is Prin-
cipal Shade

Almost every sort OF hat for woman
can be found at the fall showing at Glmbel
Brothers. Big hats, little hats. medium
sized hats, conservative hats and dashing
hats are on display.
An Oriental influence is marked In the
bewildering array Of chapeaux for milady.
There is the hat with the yelling Spanish
brlm and the Chinese hat with its mandarin
and coole shape. The military spirit also
is apparent.
A predomlnance of soft hats indicates
that the old stiff brim is Of the past. The
principal shade is black, the hats being con-
structed of panne velvet and hatter's plush;
but, Of course, there are hats to be had In
as many colors as the rainbow has

NEW YORK, N. Y.-Not long ago a man

old and asked me to give him preliminary

ished to find him with the blood pressure
OF a boy Of 20 and as full of yigor, vim and

man he really was, notwiths landing his age.
The secret, he said, was taking iron-nuxat-
ed iron had filled him with renewed life. At
80 he was in bad health; at 46 careworn and
nearly all in. Now at SO a miracle of vitality
and his face beaming with the buoyancy Of
youth. As have said a hundred times over,
iron Is the greatest of all strength builders.
II people would only throw away patent
medicines and nauseous connections and take
simple nuxated iron. am convinced that
the lives of thousands of persons might be
saved who now die every year from pneu-

your food merely passes through you with

owe it to yourself to make the following
test: See how long you can work or how far
you can walk without becoming tired Next
take two five-grain tablets of ordinary
nuxated iron three times per day after meals
for two weeks. Then test your strength
again and see for yourself how much you
have gained. l have seen dozens of nervous.
