INDIANAPOLIS. Ind. Oct. So
With their supposed "air-tght''
plan for obtaining the ballot pune
tured in two places. Indiana suffra-
gists still hold a third card, which
may prove % he the trump
Last winter when the suffrage
Tight was ora IN the legislature. some
very wise men were aiding the
sulfragists They foresaw the con
urgencies. a double-lined organ
izaiton for procuring the ballot was
based on the direct suffrage law and
upon the constitutional convention
law But a third plan was quietly
proposed by Sen. A. II. Beardsley of
Elkhart. IL was a constitutional
resolution. amending the constitu-
ton 10 give women the ballot. Anti
suffra gists paid little attention to it,
and some of the opponents of suf-
frage voted for it,
Resolution Important.
But now the resolution assumed
great Importance in the eyes of the
sufragists. According to the consti-
tuition, when il is amended by reso-
luton, an elaborate process must
be completed. The Breadsley reso-
luton must come before the 1919
legislature for ratification. If it is
ratified it must he submitted TO the
vote of the people. either in a spec
ial or regular election. If the suf-
fra gists concentrate on pushing this
resolution through the next legisla-
ture and prevail or the legislature
TO call a special election in the
summer Of 1919. the women may
therefore gain the ballot before the
next presidential election.
II is doubtful if women can OBJ
tain the ballot through any state
agency sooner than this. A special
session of the legislature may call
a constitutional convention and
suffrage might be inserted in new
constitution. but a special session
for this purpose is not likely during
the war. according to political OBJ
servers. And if nothing is done
about a constitutional convention
before the next session of the legis-
latUre. which would have to submit
the question to a vote Of the people,
the Beardsley resolution assumes
utmost Importance in the eyes OF
the votes for women adherents.
One of the important decisions OF
the supreme court IN both the con-
stitutional convention decision and
the suffrage law decision was that
the contention that the legislature
may use its own judgment does not
apply in these cases.
The court holds that the right to
vote is political and not inherent
and that il must therefore be grant
ed by specific act The legislature
the board held. does not have the
power 10 make this grant
Suffrage leaders are convinced
however, that the long fight over
suffrage in this state has resulted in
inestimable value 10 the citizenship

money as the men. II not more" she
said. The ladies have held the ban
ner three days and the men two. That
means that we hope that the men will
go on and win the banner the rest of
the days of the campaign"
The organization Of the volunteer
corps, the work of hat body in pre-
scnting the hospitals need to the pub
lie, and the food Of Individual gifts in

characterized by the Rev. Mr.. Phil
brook as a magnificent achievement.
Mr.. Macomber Sees Victory
In opening the meeting, Mr.. Macom-
Der reviewed the work thus far and
asserted there is no question that the
movement VIII be carried to success.
What we are struggling for is
$4,000 for a superstructure," he said.
We have got 1t, or nearly 1t, and we
are going to get 1t.
1T is Just as necessary to have a
foundation as a sup~erstructure. We
are liz III ldNliS III tijS CITY a
lady who realized that long before l
did and she started right in to get the
money for q foundation. AS a result,
Mrs. Daniel c. Robinson will have
money enough to put In the founda-
ton complete so that the superstruc-
ture will go right on top of it to make
a complete hospital"
The support given to the hospital by
Miss Helen Fuller. who long has peer
a friend Of the institution, was COM
mended by Mr.. Macomber. Mrs. Rob
inson and Miss Fuller occupied places
at the executive committee table and
were much impressed by the spirit of
the volunteer workers.
THE city Of Augusta, through this
campaign and by means of this cam

Rev. Mr.. Philbrook. She is finding
her very soul. What shall It profit a
man or a community If he or 1t gains
the whole world and loses the soul
Or what shall q mar or a community
give in exchange for the soul? What
shall it profit a man or a community
if, having q soul. It never comes into
consciousness Of that precious ex-
istence?
IF no single penny were raised for
this hospital and no single red cent
were invested in this proposed addi-
ton. all this labor and this care would
be well worth while and these work.

paid by the %arousing Of this civic con.

If BACK HURTS
BEGIN ON SALTS
Flush your kidneys occasionally
if you eat meat
regularly,

No man or woman who eats meat
regularly can make a mistake by flush
ing the kidneys occasionally. says a
well-known authority. Meat forms
uric acid which clogs the kidney ports
so they sluggishly filter or strain only
part of the waste and poisons from the
blood, then o get sick. Nearly all
rheumatism, headaches. liver trouble,
nervousness, constipation. dizziness.
sleeplessness bladder disorders come
from sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel a dull ache in
the kidneys or your back hurts, or If
the urine is cloudy, offensive, full Of
sediment, irregular Of passage or at
tended by a sensation of scaldlng, get
about four ounces of Jad Salts from
any reliable pharmacy and AXE a
tablespoonful in a glass Of water be-
fore breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid Of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for, generations to
flush clOgged kidneys and stimulate
them to activity, also to neutralize the
acids in urine so 1t no longer causes
irritation, thus ending bladder disor-
Gers.
Jad Salts IS inexpensive and cannot
inJure; makes a delightful effervescent
lithia-water drink which all regular
meat eaters should take now and then
TO keep the kidneys clean and the blood
pure, thereby avoiding serious kidney
complications.

FREE SERVICE OF NURSES
Visiting Nurses Make 1880 Calls I
Home Patients

In addition to the regular work Of the
Augusta General hospital STAFF in the instl-
tuition itself the visiting nurse service 10
families unable to pay for medical care has
been an important factor in maintaining the
health OF the community, II was asserted
yesterday by an officer OF the hospital.
So that patients discharged from the hos
pital, who need skilled attention in their
homes to be restored to complete health.
may have the proper post-hospital care, a
nurse devotes her entire time TO visiting
such patients.
Last year. for instance, without any
charge, 1880 visits we're made to rs families
by nurses assigned by the hospital. Be-
sides, under an arrangement with an in
surance company by which a nominal fee
was paid for each visit. the nurses made
591 visits to 10 families.
Tins year. II is estimated, almost 1000
calls will have been made under this free
service given by the hospital in its effort
to promote a high standard Of public health.
Another important phase OF the hospitals
charity work Is the free treatment given
at the institution. In the last year such
treatment was given for 2464 days.
