Woman 5 Column
Selected by One Of Thern.
Can extract from . letter by


Jane Dearborn Mills)
The motherhood of the nation
ought to be at the nations SER
vice; and in no way can it be
fully so without the political
equality of women with men.
Among men there is Q great
deal of Misunderstanding of wo-
mems motive in seeking this
equality. Much of the mans op.
position comes from his inherent
love of the mothe' hood of wo-
man, which is woman's forr1a-
tive and cherishing and protec-
tive instinct. To those men who
misunderstood the aim of &c. al
suffrage and so think women are
trying to prove themselves men,
the world looks desolation Itself
under the prospect of its losing
that womanly instinct. Their
opposition often results from
this mistaken dread that women
CO uld really turn themselves in
t" imperfect sem blances Of men;
and what seems tyranny and dis
respect in their withholding the
vote from us is IN reality respect
for essential womanhood. 1t is
lneXpressible pain to them to
feel that the world might lose
the woman's peculiar grace Of
character. Nothing could make
up to them for such a loss. They
do not permanently like the silli-
ness of the '''clinging vine" much
more than We do, but they will
endure it rather than risk see-
ing the wOman's peculiar grace
aud wit and wisdom and adapta-
oility replaced by poor imita-
tions of themselves. Such men
and there are many-do not
understand that however much
women talk of rights" and
Justice and Equality with
men In power for doing the same
work." and other distractions,
they mean, at heart, the right
and justice and power of having
the freedom to do for the nation
what nothing but it's mother
hood can do for it; that which
men, because they are normal
men, do not and cannot see is
left undohe. Women know, as
men cannot, the needs of little
children who come under the
public care and ought to be
guarded by the public from pri.
vate greed and abuse; they
know, as men never seem 20 see,
that no man without a woman
helper, is a fit protector for
young girls in the streets; they
know that in our courts children
and women should always be
guarded by women, and they
know myriads of public needs
now entirely neglected, that
men could never understand if
they were told, but which if they
were cared for, all men would
leJoice in. And when women
are free to do these things, and
the excitement of the first years
in political freedom is past, il
must be inevita liable that they
will go on discovering more and
more of the nations needs for
for her motherhood, and indef
nltely improving aud perfectine
their own especial work.-Ex.

Do You Fear the Wind2

Do you fear the force OF the wind,
The slash OF the rain?
Go face them and fight them,
Be savage again.
Go hungry and cold like the wolf
Go wade like the crane:
The palms of your hands will thlcken,
The skin OF your cheek will tan,
You'll grow ragged and weary and swar
thy.
But you'll walk like a man!

Obituary

Mrs. harley Rivers, of Teals
Mill section, died last Tuesday
evening at 6 o'clock. q.
Mrs. Rivers had suffered q
stroke of paralysis on Friday,
which was followed by second
stroke on Monday. She failed
to rally from the second stroke
and passed away on Tuesday.
On last Sunday night at $50
the death angel came into the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. Edgar
Cross and took from them their
little baby girl, Annie B., 10
months old.
There's a pair Of little hands
Laid to rest forevermore,
There's pearly dimpled cheek
Whose rich blossoming is o'er.
Death has sealed two little eyes,
That will no more smile nor
weep,
Tiny windows of the soul.
Their darling has gone to sleep.
Angels see her safely home,
SO for her we will not weep.
Gently to the doorway come,
Their darling has gone to sleep.
There's another bud renewed
Before it felt the blight of sin
Through the door an angel
moved
And their darling passed in.

Make War On
Flies: Ward
off Disease

In order to make this community a
better place to live in, we must declare
war on the house fly at once. II we do
not slip up on him and strike the first
hard smashing blow, he is going to
come at us in overwhelming numbers.
How may we successfully fight the
fly? BY destroying or removing his
breeding place, the manure pile, re-
moving all garbage and making the
privy vault fiy-proof, and by keeping
our yards and alleys clean. We must
screen our houses and use the swatter
and sticky fly paper without let.up.
Where Is the fly born? In filth, gen.
orally in horse manure and outhouses,
sometimes in the flesh Of dead and rot
ting animals-never in any clean,
wholesome place. The life cycle of
the fy's birth runs about ten days
from the time the egg is laid until the
mature insect is born. A maggot is
Matched from the egg. The maggot be-
comes pupa Ga state corresponding
to the tadpole state in frog life). and
the pupa becomes the mature fly that
helps to make life miserable for us in
warm weather.
Flies Live In Filth.
Where does the fly live? Where
there is filth, and there is nothing too
filthy for the fly to eat. He eats clean
food also, but his special delight seems
to- be wallowing in filth, then buzzing
into the house and wiping his feet and
wings on substances you are about to
eat Watch him and see for yourself.
Think Of the most sickening. dis.
gusting places where you have seen
flies. Think Of them until your palate
is light and the pit Of your stomach
ticklish. For IL you think hard
enough about this dangerous, nasty
insect pest you will help fight his
whole tribe with all your might.
The fly's favorite place of residence
is in the manure pile, the privy-vault,
the garbage can and the spittoon. But
