the more expensive meat foods. 1t
is good for poultry Of all ages and
may be given at all seasons OF the
year. but is more valuable as win
ter feed, since the flock is more in
need at this season Of something TO
take the place Of meat foods. owing
to the absence of bugs and worms.
What is true Of buttermilk is true
of skim milk, but it is not good
plan to feed the two INTERCHANGEABLE
at short intervals, as giving the two
at the same time or frequent changes
from one to the other are likely to
throw the hens off their feed.
The milk should be given in
stone crock or wooden vessel In
stead Of a trough OF contafner made
of metal, as the acid in the metal
coming in contact with iron or other
metal is likely to produce a com
pound that will have poisonous Ell
feet on the foWesl. The milk may be
kept constantly before the flock, al
though in very cold weather 1t Is
better to warm it. Milk that is ice
cold has the same effect on birds az
does ice cold water. and they will
drink very little of it in that cond1-

WOMAN's PART IN WAR.

The anti-suffragists claim that
"the woman's ballot would be a
blank cartridge ballot"
To a large extent the cartridges
for the present war are being made
by women, especially in Germany.
The actual military value of its wo-
men to any warning nation is very
great; and the present conflict is
bringing out this fact more closely
than ever before. Germany has
10000 women hard at work turn
ing out munitions, and England is
using an increasing number OF wo-
men for the same work. II any ma
ton involved in war were to have
all it's women suddenly swept OF by
some mysterious pestilence, it would
have to withdraw a large number
Of its fighting men from the front
to make ammunition, to get in the
harvests, to care for the children
and for the sick and wounded, and
to do all the other absolutely nee
essary work that is now carried on
by the women while their men are
in the field.
Not only are women making q
large part of the munitions OF this
war, but they furnish the most fun
damental and indispensable NUM-
ton for all Wharf.-The men.

{ Edited by Miss Anna Morrell }

Lucy Stone said: Some woman
risks her life whenever a soldier is
born into the world. Later she does
picket duty over his cradle, and for
years she is his quartermaster and
gathers his rations. And when that
boy grows to a man, shall he say to
his mother, il you want to vote, you
must first go and kill somebody
1t is q towards argument"
Mrs. z. G.. Wallace, Of Indiana. a
distinguished suffragist in her day,
from whom Gen. Lew Wallace drew
the portrait Of the noble mother in
Ben Hur." said. IF women do not
fight, they give to the State all its
soldiers" This ought in all fairness
to be taken as an offset for the mill
tary service that women do not rem
der. Al Lady Henry Somerset puts
it, "She who bears armies does not
need to bear arms"
And, since women furnish all the
men for war, and bar their share
Of the terrible burdens and suffer-
ings Of war, 1t is only the most ele-
mentary justice that they should
have = voice in choosing the rules
who make the fateful decision
whether q country shall enter upon
war.
Il is not desirable that women
should light, hut in case Of extreme
need they can and do. It was

SHORT CUTS TO SUFFRAGE.

A new and interesting point for
the nationwide suffrage amend
ent was made by a Southern woman
at one of the recent congressional
hearings.
t Mrs. Pattie Ruffner Jacobs, presi-
dent of the Alabama Equal Suffrage
Association, spoke WITH others in be-
half of the petition to Congress to
submit nationwide woman suffrage
amendment to the State Legislatures.
She was asked whether she thought
lit would be right for State Legls-
lature to decide the question on Its
own responsibility, without referring
lit to the voters. She answered:
"The Alabama Suffragists asked
the Alabama Legislature to submit
the question to the voters OF the
Estate, but our Legislature refused.
! 1t preferred to decide the matter
itself Therefore, we are now asking
Congress to refer the question to
the Legislature of Alabama and
those of all the other States for their
decision"
The opponents Of equal suffrage
reproach its advocates with seeking
short cut" to carry it; but they
themselves have always sought the
shortest cut to kill it. Whenever a
State legislature is asked to submit
constitutional amendment to the
voters, the anti-suffragists oppose
submission, and beg the legislature
to kill the measure on its own re-
|sponsibility. New York is the sole
exception. For a long series of
years, the ants in that state oppose
submission, but after all the political
parties had declared for submission,
the ants withdrew their objection,
finding that they no longer could
make it effective In New jersey
and Pennsylvania, even after all the
political parties had pledged them
selves to submit a suffrage amend
ment, the antisuffrage parties had
pledged themselves to submit sun
rage amendment, the anti-suffrage
organizations implored the 1egisla-
tors to throw overheard the party
platforms on which they had been
elected, and to refuse to let the vot-
ers pass upon the question.

CAUSES OF OBESITY.

Too much food and lack Of exer-
else are the causes Of obesity. and 50
per cent Of those who. ore corpulent
owe this disagreement to the above
causes.
Other frequent reasons for the
obese abdomen are tendency to he
reditary fat and decreased mental
and physical activity, and 1t II said
that two-thirds Of all the cofpulsnt
persons are women, especially those
who have borne many children and
are past middle life.
The accumulation Of fat In the
abdominal region interferes with the
action Of the muscles and Organs
and naturally reduces the respiz1-
tory activity. and this only increases
the superhuous fat, which might be
otherwise burned up through fresh
air In the lungs. ShortneM q

granting women presidential 1n0
municipal suffrage on it's own re-
sponsibility, without referring It TO
the voters. They even insfnuate
that the suffragfsts wanted to avoid
a popular vote. For twenty years
the Illinois suffragists had been urg-
ing the submission Of const1tu-
tional amendment, and the antis had
been opposing submission, and beg
9inx the legislature to decide the
question adversely by Its own act.
As a rule, opponents do not even
hint . doubt of the legislatures
moral right to decide the matter on
it's own responsibility until the legis-
lature begins to show leanings to-
ward suffrage.
They are Just as ready to deny the
peoples right to decide. when the
popular vote is favof1ble. When
Wyoming came in as . state, after
twenty years experience OF woman
suffrage as territory, It's people,
men and women, elected c0nstitu-
tional convention which drew up q
constitution for the new state, and
included woman suffrage in 1t by an
almost unanimous vote. This com
stitutfon was submitted to the voters
Of Wyoming, men and women, an,
was approved by large majority.
It was then submitted to Congress
for ratification. The opponents OF
suffrage In Cognress iirst tried to
have congress strike out the woman
suffrage clause bodily-preferring,
10 usual thu ahnrfoaf cnf Failing
in this, they then tried to have the
suffrage clause submitted again to
the voters of Wyoming, mot with
the constitution as q whole, but sep
arately. And how submitted? To
a vote of the women alone, to make
quite sure that a majority of the
women really wanted it? By no
means. but to vote OF the men
alone, the women to be allowed no
say in the matter. And this pre-
cious proposal came very nearly car
rying Congress. There was not one
word of protest against 1t from DR..
Lyman Abbott, who is now so in
sistent that the women ought to be
allowed to vote on the question, nor
fromany statesmen who are ct pres
ent declaring that each part OF the
country ought to decide the matter
for itself.
To sum up-the people who are
bent on blocking equal suffrage al
ways seek the shortest and easiest
way to their end. With what con-
sistency can they blame the sutfra-
gists for doing the same

can settlers in their conflicts with
the Indians, and it is being shown
today by the many women reported
to be serving with the armies OF
Russia and Siberia. Ex-Secretary OF
the Navy Long said: Imagine ar
gufng with sober face against a
man whose brains are reduced to
such a minimum that he solemnly
says woman should not vote be-
cause she cam. fight! In the
first place, she can fight; in the sec
ond, men are largely exempt from
military service; and finally, there
is not the remotest relation between
firing a musket and casting bal
lot"
As for the fear that laws would
not be enforced if women voted, wo-
men now have the ballot in many
different parts of the world, and the
laws are as we'll enforced in the
countries where women vote as in
those where they do not.
