per cent. more than half, began to
drink before twenty-one years Of
age. AS result, physicians all over
the country refuse to prescribe alco-
mol under any condition.
AS has been shown, many acquire
the alcohol habit before attaining
maturity. There are many ways in
which this habit had been acquired,
but perhaps the commonest form has
been through the medium Of patent
medicine containing Il great percent
age Of this deadly poison. Beef,
wine and iron, for instance, Is usu-
ally given to those convalescing from
severe illness. This is Il favorite
preparation given to children, and
has probably done more to develop
the alcohc! habit than the average
person imagines.
Iron, OF course, Is the greatest
blood purifier and strengthener
known; on the other hand, alcohol
is perhaps the deadllest poison to
the tissue Of the human system. 1t
counteracts the efficiency Of the iron
and makes the condition worse. A

MRS. MASON'S
LETTER REPRODUCED

Owing to the rush of both author
and editor last week some vital err
rors of punctuation were over looked,
in Mrs. Mason's card, therefore we
reprint same this week.
To the Republicans of Ohio county
and to all my friends who helped
me in any way:
Allow me to express my sincere
appreciation for your interest, sup
port and favors shown me during the
past few months.
While | met defeat l do not feel
that my time was lost at all. The
experience was educative to me, as
we'll as pleasant to meet so many nice
people.
The National platform of the Re-
publican, Socialist, and Democratic
parties approve of women voting. Our
state law gives women suffrage on
school questions, and as the homes
and schools are so vitality connected |
feel that this is not only right but
Just. 1t is one of the coming issues
to be met. Old precedents, old GUS
toms will eventually be swept away
as well as many of our laws now on
the statute books.
/ feel the sooner we comprehend
this the sooner we will have taken
long stride toward success.
In trying to adjust ourselves to
the new order of things, we realize
that women have responsibilities as
we'll as men and in more things than
in the past,
"The spiritualized life Of any home
is the only true measure of its worth.
Immaculate house keeping and
household slavery are now under
stood not to be real home making"
by which mean that scientific know
ledge of home making saves a great
outlay of time, money and strength
and presents possibilities of better
management, more wisely directed
energy, etc, thereby giving the wom-
an time for social, educational and
cultural improvement.
"These include all influences that
broaden and sweeten life"
Women cannot in this day and
time do household drugery all the
