WOMEN DOING MEMS WORK.

One of the most striking results of
the great war in Europe, is the extent
to which women are doing the work
of men. Travellers to England and
France report that practically every
able-bodied man is in uniform and
women by the thousands are engaged
in doing mems work-acting as con-
ducters and drivers on the cars and
doing all sorts of heavy work besides.
This shows unexpected possibilities
in what has been mistakenly called
the weaker sex. Women are subject
to ailments which men do not have,
and when so ai1ing become weak,
helpless ufferers. But a remedy has
been found. For forty years, lydia

has been making such women well
and strong, and as able to do work as
any other woman.-Adv.

Clean UP Campaign
Will Start May ~

The week beginning May 9th has
been set aside dis the beginning Of a
Clean Up Campaign for the City of
Bridgeport It is now recognized that
cleanliness makes for both health
and economy. The saving of human
lives and the prevention Of useless
fire loss are two factors of great i'm
portance to any city. Experience has
demonstrated that any city can deter
imne within reason what its death
rate and its fire loss shall be. Bridge
port can determine these two facts for
herself if we are in earnest about it.
Not only should we clean up but
we should keep clean. The old idea
of the clean up week gave the i'm
preston that we should let rubbish
and filth accumulate and make a
once orr twice a year job of it. The
proper thing is to keep everlastingly
at it.
The fire and health departments
invite the cooperation of every citi-
zen and. Organization in the city Of
Bridgeport, to assist in making this
campaign effective. This morning
Captain Thomas Broderick, inspector
Of combustibles and Mr.. G. Howard
Dunbar, chief sanitary inspector be-
gan a joint inspection of the city in
order to thoroughly map out the
places that are most in need of at
tention They will visit all parts of
the city and will take up with the re-
sponsible parties any particularly
menacing conditions so far as health
and fire risk are concerned.
Be ready to meet them more than
half way for they are attempting to
protect you. In addition everyone is
urged to report any individual cases
either to the fire or health depart
ments in order that they may be
cleaned up.

activities in the United States than II

Miss Pankhurst has recently return

Women to Replace Men.
Like the American men, the WON
en- of the United States are Quick-wit-
ted and adaptable. For this reason
they will replace men in larger va
riety of industries than even the
French and British women have done.
At the same time their work Will spell
efficiency which will prove a good
argument for their retention In many
places after the war Is over.
The chivalrous American man VIII

Of the simplicity Of your Of Abraham

but you never hear them utter wort

Miss Pankhurst said she was one o
those who believed that nothing coult
be more cheering to the French at THU

did advancement in the suffrage world.
She is now working on this big drive
in this state to get ever woman In
Indiana to register and vote for q
delegate to the constitutional conven-
ton.
Men Praised, Too.
"The men Of Indiana have shown
not only their confidence in women,
but their own breadth of vision. and
fine sense OF justice. In many ways
Indiana deserves to rank at the very
front in her treatment of women"
DR.. Jone reminded her hearers that
all civilized countries are getting far
ahead of the United States. England,
Russia, France and Germany are
recognizing women's right to voice in
state matters. All Canadian provinces
west Of Quebec have enfranchised
women. With one small exception all
Scandinavian countries have full sui
frage. Even Yucatan in Mexico, have
given her women the right to vote.
