GO. ?. SOLID
BEHIND
IN CONGRESS
If Amendment Passes Re
publcans Want Credit.
Need Democrats Votes.

The Republicans are making a bid
for the honors In the woman suffrage
amendment passes. The Republican
side of the House will give q two
thirds majority with votes to spare.
This was the unqualified statement
yesterday afternoon Of Representa-
tive Mondell, of Wyoming.
"An We need Is reasonable support
from the Democratic members, and
the women of America will be en-
franchised," was the contribution of
Representative Madden, of Illinois. to
the Republican symposium gathered
by the National Woman's Party.
The Republicans not only are maxi
ing sure that they will not be blamed
in the event of the defeat of the
amendment. but apparently are-mak-
ing sure in advance of the credit for
its victory. Only a solid Republi-
can vote, according to Republican
opinion, can take from the party in
power the glory of such a victory.
SuRs Are In Favor.
"As far as Republicans are con-
cerned," said Representative Mapes,
of Michigan, 1.-THE suffrage amend
ment will receive the necessary two
third vote"
THE suffrage amendment is in
much favor on the Republican side
of the House." was the statement of
Representative Smith, of Michigan,
''and the sentiment is that it will
carry"
1t is emphasized by many of the
Republicans that, when the last suf-
frage amendment vote was taken. in
lois, 1t would have passed IL the
proportion of Democrats voting for
the measure had been as large as that
of the Republicans.

TUBERCULOSIS.

tuberculosis is caused by bacteria
that thrive within the different
tissues OF the body, most commonly
those Of the lungs. The tuberculosis
bacteria are a good deal like weeds
in field. The crop that has been
well put in and is growing on a rich
soil will smother the weeds at first
If the crop has a good start. Poorly
nourished plants are less able to
fight the weeds. Tuberculosis bac-
terra find 1t hard to get a start on
well nourished tissue and IL they
get a start on poorly nourished it's
sue they can often be driven out by
good nourishment. This means that
the body must be well supplied with
such nourishing foods as milk, eggs.
meat, butter, vegetables, fat. ETC.. and
that the person live in fresh air as
the food cannot be properly used in
the body without fresh air. Sleeping
in the. open is very important. The
person should also have rest so that
ali the nourishment from the food
can be used to build up the body. 1t
Is well to remember that poorly
nourlshed tissue il the most apt to
be attacked BY tuberculosis germs
and that plenty Of fresh air Is ais
necessary to nourishment as Is food.
