Fears that the twenty-three suffragist
ENJOYS who are touring the West on
the suffrage special" may abandon
their homes In the East and establish
residences In the equal suffrage States
OF the West, were expressed by leaders
of the Congressional Union here today.
Already three OF the delegates have an

ers In Kansas, It is stated. Telegrams
received from the ENJOYS today give
glowing accounts of their reception in
the various Western cities and state
that the governors of wyoming ana

tations to the entire delegation to es-

ENJOYS should accept these invltatiora

GOOD BREATHING, GOOD HEALTH.

Deep and regular breathing for inn
proving the condition of the body is by
no means a new tangled fad. Thirteen
hundred years before the Christian era
the people of India took such gym
nastics for the curing of disease, and
the same easy medicine was prescribed
by the old Greek and Roman physic-
lans. who, or not, must have
known something of the divinity of
breath to have found out it's curative
properties.
The simplest breathing eXercise-in-
laling, with 10 beats and letting out
the breath with 10, if lone for 10
minutes IA day in the open air would
soon develop a flat chest, improve the
complexion and make the waist smaller.
AS one must stand erect for the deep
breath, all the poise of the body will
be altered for the better, while the
physical force so gained in six months
would be tremendous.
The strength of the lungs is improved
even with ordinary walking, and why,
with such q store of beauty awaiting
them, more girls do not take to weeks
Of tramping in the summer time is one

sTAMMERING AND SUFFERING.

correctly. All of this is for the moth
er. In training the child the mother
speaks correctly some troublesome
words, and other related words, AMI
the child repeats them.
Suffering is a different matter. Slut
terers can make the necessary sounds.
The trouble is informing the sounds
into several syllable words and into
sentences. The seat of the trouble Is
the mind.
Stammerers and lispers are at their
worst between 2 and 5 years of age.
The mother can cure the average slut
terer Of his defect. Why? The need is
for some way to slow down the ex-
cited, nervous child. To make him
think slowly, act slowly, speak slowly,
to teach him not to begin to speak un-
til his thought and speech are for
mulated, INC hen to say his words
with elaboration.
The suffering child has a DISPOSE
ton to do everything ~half-cocked. If
it be granted that the cause of slut
tering is in the mind; if the needed
cure is to train the child to be de-
liberate and calm, does 1T not follow
that the mother is the best teacher?
Bluemel is right. The majority of
children who stutter, stammer and
lisp could De cured by their mothers.
However, there are children who
stammer because Of adenoids. tonsils
or other defects, and children who
stutter because OF mental or otfor,
troubles. Such need the help Of ply.

HOW CHEAP ARE CHILDREN?

1t is a matter of taste rather than
money that determines whether or not
small children shall be we'll dressed.
The cost of dressing a five-year-old
boy or a s~ix-year-old child becomingly
lie really very small. provided the moth
er, or whoever dresses the child, has
good taste and is able to sew.
To begin with. there are SO many at
tractive materials of good quality at
small cost that the actual materials for
froclS costs little. And with a 10 cent
paper pattern and a few free hours to
work in, so cents or a dollars worth Of
material may be easily mad into a
charming afternoon frock or suit. and
material at even smaller cost may be
made into ~serviceable and becoming
morning rompers or frock.
The pattern books are full of very at
tractive designs for small ,children's
clothes. For afternoon wear, the little
shocked frocks are charming. They

cotton crepe, with collars and cuffs

Most small children with defects Of
,peech car be cured. If the defect is
simple and the habit is not firmly es-
ablished the mother a cure better
han ony n else.
Stammerers are unable to produce
certain sounds or to correctly pro-
lounce certain words. Lisping is q
'orm of stammering. A stammerer
nay be deliberate in manner The de-
'ect may, and usually does, not cause
my self consciousness. In fact, some
.hildren affect lisping. Many children
Who stammer have been led to believe
hat the speech fault is something of
IN accomplishment. The peculiar way
IF p"rOnOuncing words is initiated and
:erms OF endearment are used in con-
nection with the imitation. The net
result is hat the child is far from un-
dertaking the effort needed to correct
the fault.
Most cases Of stammering and lisp
ing a be cured by the mother. The
method is simple. She must con-
tinually pronounce the words which
the child mispronOunceS and have the
child repeat them after her. Rewards
including a judicious use of praise
must be made use of.
If the mother cares to read some
boo on speech defects such as that O1
scripture and learn just how certain
sounds are made she will be the gamer
by doing SO. She may learn words
which her child can pronounce cor
rectly. which words call for about the
same operations In the speech organs
as those which the child speaks In
