NORTH DAKOTA WILL
CERTAINLY APPROVE
ANTHONY SUFFRAGE
Fifteen General Assembly Ex.
tended to Women Present
Limited Suffrage. ..
SAME BODY MAY VOTE
ISSUE NOW EXISTING

Should the national suffrage amend
ment come before the Fifteenth legis-
lative assembly in special session the
asst of this month for ratification,
there is apparently little doubt as to
its fate.
Z The fifteenth legislative assembly
extended North Dakota women the
same limited franchise which they
have enjoyed in Illinois, Indiana and
certain other states, and it submitted
to the people of the state, to be pass
ed on at the general election next fall,
a constitutional amendment which
would establish universal suffrage in
North Dakota.
On Senator Lindstrom's senate bill
No. IL, providing a limited franchise,
the senate vote was 81 aye; II nay,
and one absent and not voting. In the
house the bill received SO affirmative
votes, 10 nays, and six were absent
and not voting The constitutional
amendment, also introduced by Sen
ator Lindstrom, passed the senate 3S
to 10, one absent and not voting; and
the house Sc to 81, with six absent.
With no change in the personnel of
either branch of the legislature, it
would be safe to predict there will not
be much of fight in the special ses-
sion should the national amendment
come up for consideration. The Votes
for Women league at the last regular
session maintained very large and
determined lobby here, as did one or
two other organizations favoring
equal suffrage They did not always

their support last night, the suffra.
gists hope to bring the senate into
line so as to have the amendment be-
fore state legislatures during the CON-
ing year. They feel sure at least of
forcing a vote in the senate before
the present session ends.
... Confident Of Result.
Advocates of the amendment had
been supremely confident of the re.
suit in the house after President Will
son advised the members who called
upon him Wednesday to support it.
They were so confident that the close
vote was received with amazement,
and some of the opponents were al
most as much surprised.
When the first roll call was finished
unofficial counts put the result in
doubt, and before the speaker could
make an announcement there was a
demand for recapitulation. Then the
name of each member and the way he
was recorded was read.
Announcement of the vote was
greeted with wild. applause and cheer
ing. Women in the galleries literally
fell upon each others necks, kissing
and embracing, and shouting GLORY,
Glory, Hallelujah."
The Resolution.

CLEANLINESS IS CARDINAL

A City in Central France, Thurs

Press.)-AIthoueh the influx of
hundreds Of staff officers belong
ing to the lines Of communication
branch Of the American army has
not yet begun, and although their
transfer from Paris here is sup
posed to be deep secret, this
beautiful little city in central
France is already aware that it
will soon be host to the newest
Allies.
American flags are already
waving from many buildings, and
the citizens are in a state of ex-
element, preparing what pre-
misses to be most enthusiastic
welcome to the new corners. Pre-
parations for the advent Of the
Americans, numbering several
hundred officers, and twice as
many assistants, are almost CON-
pIeted, so that when the men be-
gin to arrive in day or two, each
one will find comfortable quarters
arranged for him either in some
one of the haIf.dozen hotels here,
or. in private houses that have
been rented by the advance
scouts.
Quarters For Length Of War
They will find themselves quarter
ed "for the duration of the war;" in
one OF Frances healthiest and most
beautiful cities. where cleanliness ap
has been made a cardinal
virtue, where food, especially fresh
in season, and dairy pro-
ducts, are plentiful, where the water
supply offers none of the drawbacks
that mist be contented with close be
hind the fronts. and from which they
can operate fully as advantageously
centrally as from Paris.
The new quarters will from the
oueset be operated with view to the
greatest possible comfort Of the men,
md the least possible disturbance OF
ocal conditions. One of the first
moves will be to install "sales COM
at which foodstuffs brought
from America will be sold at less than
he local market prices, if possible,
so that the presence Of the Americans
will not have the effect of forcing up
prices to the distress of the inhabit-
lntS.

The failure of Russia allies to respond to the inv-

The attitude of the Russians was not reflected in

HEALTH TALK
Spanish Influenza or Grip
BY DIR. LEE II. SMITH.

An old enemy is with US again, and
whether we fight German or germ, we
must put up good fight, and not be afraid.
The influenza runs very brief course
when the patient is careful, and if we keep
the system in good condition and throw
off the poisons which tend to accumulate
within our bodies, we can escape the dis
ease. Remember these three Cs-a clean
mouth, a clean skin, and clean bowels.
To carry off poisons from the system and
keep the bowels loose, daily doses of
pleasant laxative should be taken. Such
a one is made Of May-apple, leaves of aloe,
root of jalap, and called DR.. Pierce's Pleas
ant Pellets. Hot lemonade should be used
freely If attacked by cold, and the pa
tient should be put to bed after a hot
mustard foot-bath.
To prevent the attack of bronchitis or
pneumonia and to control the pain,
Anuric tablets should be obtained at tho
drug store, and one given every two hours,
with lemonade. The Anuric tablets
were first discovered by, DR.. Pierce, and,
as they flush the bladder and cleanse the
kidneys, they carry away much of the poi
sons and the uric acid.
1t is important that broths, milk, but
termilk, ice-cream and simple diet be given
regularly to strengthen the system and in
crease the vital resistance. The fever is
diminished by the use of the Anuric tab
let's, but in addition, the forehead, arms
and hands may be bathed with water
(tepid) in which tablespoonful of sal
aratus has been dissolved in quart. After
an attack Of grip or pneumonia to
build up and strengthen the system, obtain
at the drug store a good iron tonic, called
'Trontc" Tablets, or that well known
herbal tonic, DIR. Pierce's Golden Medical
Discovery.
