CITY BEAUTIFUL
 HINTS FOR SPRING

Don't let your springtime enthusiasm lead you to undertake more than you feel quite sure of being able to carry out Keep in mind the fact that there will be work to do all through the season in order to make your garden la success, and think over what the re- suit will be if you fail to give your plants all the care they need after you have got. them well under way.
 Don't give them a chance to say that you haven't given them fair treat mont because your enthusiasm waned
 with the season.
 Don't attempt to grow all the plants that the florist describe so attractively in their catalogs. Concentrate your ef- forts on the best ones-that is, the ones best adadpted to amateur gar- dening. Give these the best possible care This advice applies with equal pertinence to all phases of gardening outdoors or indoors.
 Don't pattern your garden after your neighbours. Think out original features for the garden you propose to make. if you choose to do so, but don't aim to be so extremely original that the originality of it will attract more att tention than the flowers in it. These should receive first consideration al-
 ways.

trying to show you that you waste money only to regret it, and, even though you forget it. you won't alter the situation.
 Every summer resort is built upon the pr opcstion that most everybody wastes a certain amount of money, gets foolish at times, takes throw or two at some thing they know they can't hit just to see how it feels. Coney Island and the
 movie" do not despise the nickeis-all they want is enough of them. Did you ever stop to consider that nothing at amusement resorts costs over 10 cents ex- cept food? Summer reports know that hu- man nature is frivolous in summer time, bound to spend part of the week $ wage
 in being foolish, generating costly, and only thrills after all. And if the crop of foolish folk were not a bumper one every year, and if the stings of con- science were needed. there would be many an empty booth at the beaches this year.
 You can. spend money foolishly so long that your conscience will not trouble you, just as you can cultivate bad habit so long that you cease to think it wrong. Even the best of us. with the most careful management, are bound to waste cer- tain amount of money Somehow it gets away from us, try as we will to pre- vent it. But the man who deliberately throws his money at something he can't hit, whether it be negro's head or a business proposition, must not complain Eff the ball goes wide of the mark.
 If you can't resist this tendency to throw things. either stay away from such places, or don't carry much money with you.
 You can have day at the beach for H Fifty cents for, your swim, 10 cents for car fare and 40 cents for lunch. And that will put red blood in your veins and key ur your appetite wholesomely. Three

 But even with his failures, Davis might have got away with certain credit For he is sincere in his effort, and is bold in sthe position which he takes. But he could not let well enough alone. He failed to bear with the stocal indiffer- cree the calmness and boise of a real statesman the filings of his critics. He attempted to bite back. He used very vulgar language.

Equal Suffrage Acti0ities
 As ReOie7ved by Suffrdeist
By PATTIE RUFFNER JACOBS

No more, beautiful tribute has ever been lowing, which Dr. Anna H. Shaw, the be- loved honorary president of the National Suffrage association, delivered in response to the address of welcome at the forty sixth annual convention:
 When his honor, the mayor, spoke of the hope that if women entered into polit- ical life of our country conditions would be made better, I forgot the north and turned back in memory to the great south, and if I had but one argument in favor of our cause, aside from the fundamental arguments of the right of the human being to freedom and justice, I should point to the women of the south. No stronger argument can be found in the south than the women themselves.
 When we recall the history of the south. when we think of what women have meant to it, I wonder how even a woman in all the breadth of her gener- osity can say it is the men of this country who have made us what we are.
 When we look back over the past his- tory when we see the land barren and desoIation everywhere; when we see the homes left destitute and the women pros trate by the graves of their dead, and many who are bereft even of the know1- edge. of where their dead lie; when we realize that the men of the south were nearly all swept away, we know that the power that held the south steadfast, that held the homes of the south together, that kept the traditions of the south, that made the south what it is today, was the loyalty, the patriotism, unconquerable courage and the devotion of southern women in that hour of darkness and de- spair. Had it not been for this new spirit of action born of the necessity of the times in the character of southern women to inspire southern men with hope and courage, desolation would still be over the south, but because women were there, though stripped of their former pride and glory, they evolved from within them selves a power which no one knows that women possess until some hour of ex- treme trial calls it forth, and then we learn that never has there been in any period of history test of human endur- ance and wisdom when women have not responded and become the inspiration, the hope, the strength and the courage of manhood. If any women of this nation have ever bought their freedom and paid dear price for it, it is the women of the southland

Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt, president of the National American Woman Suffrage association, made an interesting point in her address at the Harrisburg, Pa, con- ference in telling the audience just when women are people," according to the law and public recognition, and when they are not.
 Women are people sometimes and at other times they are not" said Mrs. Catt. When our government desires to extend and increase it's income, it does not hesi- tate to recognize that women have in- comes which it may tax. Women are people then, but when the political par ties go before the country upon the issue as to whether they shall use that in- creased tax money to build battleships and increase the navy, then women are not people. When in a small village there is desire to make some improvement and an appropriation of money is desired, then the woman is a person if she pos sesses property which may be taxed, but when it comes to the determination of what that money shall be expended upon, women are no longer people,"
 The suffrage delegates to the St Louis democratic convention on June IA are go- ing to impress the democrats with their presence by means of a unique feature, a "walkless parade" Rows upon rows of white clad women, decked with yellow streamers and sashes, and carrying pie turesque yellow parasols, will form complete line around the Jefferson hotel and the Coliseum, the two central points for the delegates, so that every man as he comes and goes all day long will be surrounded and confronted by the visible indication that women all over the United States want the vote, and, moreover want suffrage plank in the democratic. plat form. During the evening automobiles will be stationed at intervals from which men and women will make suffrage speeches, reminding the delegates again of the suffrage plank.

TALKS ON THRIFT
Throwing Money at Something You
 Can't Hit

Thrift is that feeling which comes over you when you know you've been stung. Dio you ever notice the man at a summer resort who steps boldly up to the counter, lays down a nickel, picks up three balls and throws them wildly at a negros head, a row of grinning dolls, or some other contraption devised to lure him away from his nickel, hit nothing and walk away with a dejected look?
 Did you ever go on an outing, or on 9 nights pleasure bent, and be good fellow,'' good spender,' and go homo with that 'what-did-I-get-out-of- feel in?
 Did you ever attend an auction, lose your head and buy something you didn't need and couldn't use. at price twice as much as it was worth and have the same sensation?
 That was your conscience entering a protest against waste-your thrifty self struggling against your thriftless self,

Why Spring Brings Out Freckles and Eruptions


 The sudden appearance of freckles, light eruptions or fine lines at this Jason is attributed by scientists to the +ctinic ray" which is unusually active bring the spring months. Where the kin is so affected by this influence, if he will procure an ounce of common |ercolized wax at any drug store, apply little of it before retiring, like cold feam, she can easily overcome the Fouble. When the wax is washed off ext morning, flaky skin particles come |ith it. The entire outer cuticle is re- loved in this way in a week or two, |ith all it's defects. No bleach could so ffectually remove freckles or blem- Ines. The new surface is smooth, clear, fesh looking. No pain or inconvenience tcompanies this simple treatment.

 The crowd would rather look on while you throw your money away than to throw their own; but what compensation have you? When your money is gone they will buy no shoes for your babies, nor pay your rent when you're sick, nor subscribe to your pension when you're down and out. Many catastrophe in life
