THE NEW YORK SUFFRAGE
VICTORY,

The victory for suffrage in the state
of New York means a tremendous
gain. That the first state east of the
Mississippi to grant full suffrage to
women should be. one of the biggest
and most powerful is one thing; that
it should be separated from all the
other suffrage states by wide gaps of
territory is another telling point
Heretofore. votes for women have
spread gradually from one state over
the borders to its next door neighbor.
This time the movement made a great
jump to the seaboard.
New York Is state of extremes.
Round about the metropolis are found
people of highly flexible mentality,
the brightest minds from other states
who have drifted there. Much Of the
atmosphere is highly intellectual in
/ tone Much Of It also is frivolous to
a high degree And back in the up
state" districts are groups as rock
ribbed in Puritanism as any which
could be found in New England. New
York state contains within its borders
almost all the conditions which may
be found anywhere in the country.
There are sections with heavy negro
vote. The foreign vote is tremendous.
1t has farms isolated in the noun
tains. 1t touches upon Canada and
the Great Lakes. 1t has industrial
cities crowded with Heterogeneous
labor.
Therefore the winning of New York
state to justice for its women Will
prove powerful lever indeed fol
raising other states from their apathy
No longer can one say conditions are
different in the West where there ar,
no foreigners, no factories, no thi'
and no that" These arguments al
ways did show ignorance of western
conditions, an ignorance which il wa
difficult to remove. Now they arr
completely answered in one word
New York
1t is. Of course. only question 0
time until all the states eniranchs
their women completely But wit
/, New York's great stretch OF white or
tered upon the suffrage map the tim

Start Tomorrow
and Keep 1t Up
Every Morning
Get In the habit Of drinking a
glass of hot water before
breakfast.

We're not here long, so let's make
our stay agreeable. Let us live well,
eat well. digest well, work well, sleep
well, and look well. what a glorious
condition to attain. and yet, how very
easy 1t is ii one will only adopt the
morning inside bath.
Folks who are accustomed to feel
dull and heavy when they arise, split
ting headache, stuffy from cold. foul
tongue, nasty breath, acid stomach,
can. instead, feel as fresh as daisy
by opening the sluices of the system
each morning aud flushing out the
whole of the internal poisonous stag
nant matter.
Everyone, whether ailing, sick or
well. should, each morning, before
breakfast drink glass OF real hot
water with teaspoonful Of limestone
phosphate in it to wash from the
stomach, liver and bowels the previous
days indigestible waste, sour bile
and poisonous toxins; thus cleansing,
sweetening and purifying the entire
alimentary canal before putting more
food into the stomach. The action Of
hot water and limestone phosphate on
an empty stomach is wonderfully in
MIGRATING. 1t cleans out all the sour
lamentations, gases, waste and
acidity and gives one splendid
appetite for breakfast While you are
enjoying your breakfast the water
and phosphate is quietly extracting
a large volume of water from the
blood and getting ready for .
thorough flushing Of all the inside
organs.
The millions of people who are
bothered with constipation. bilious
spells, stomach trouble; others who
have sallow skins, blood disorders and
sickly compilations are urged to get a
quarter pound Of limestone phosphate
from the drug store. This will cost
very little, but is sufficient to make
anyone pronounced crank on the
subject of ins!de-bathing before break

FINDING THE WhEREWITHAL.

Speaking OF the problem OF hIlaHc-
ing the war, #. W. Taussig, chairman
OF the federal tariff commission, says;
I'VE have begun at the very start
on considerable scale. with tax lev
les heavier than those made by any
other country at corresponding
stage in the great conflict 1t is not
only within the bounds of possibility
it Is more than probable that we
shall have to resort to still greater
levies, to leyies more widely distrib-
uted. Yet here, as with regard to
know how much we can do until we
know how much we have to do.
THE warfare of our time Is on
a stupendous scale, and calls for stu
pendous expenditure But in the pres.
ent situation and the present pros
poets we find much that may lead us
to take heart for meeting these ex-
penditures."
He finds comfort in our vast wealth,
in our smoothly-working federal re-
serve banking system which provides
plentiful we'll regulated credit facil-
tiles, and in the readiness of the peo.
pie to lend their funds to the govern
ment and endure heavy taxation
cheerfully. But he adds word of
warning:
Our loans and our taxes already
mean that we must begin to restrict
and curtail, must learn to dispose
with Injuries. and comforts, perhaps
with some things which we have re-
garded as necessaries. Every com.
munity must adjust itself and its ex-
penditures to the needs of war thru
a gradual process. We have entered
only on the first page
It's the same old story. of which
men and women grow weary perhaps
through much repetition. But 1t has
to be taken to heart. Thrift-thrift
---thrift--that Is what we need to win
the war. We must turn from our
prodigality and develop a new eco
nomic habit. until thrift becomes sec
Cnd nature to US.
Nobody asks US to stint ourselves
to the piont of marnutrition, of shah
biness, Of Ill health and depleted en-
ergy. That would be suicidal. We
must live and work and commerce and
industry must continue. Otherwise
there would be nothing produced from
which to buy war bonds and pay 0ul
war taxes. But there is still, in the
case Of most individuals and mos
communities, wide margin between
~osent expenditures and fundamenI
ally necessary expenditures, and tina
margin must be wiped out.
Private spending, private consumr
