Consider Some More Facts

OPPONENTS of woman suffrage who
~ try to show that only enemies OF
the country masQuerading as pacifsts and
Socialists. voted for woman suffrage in
New York on November 6 have been bowled
over so completely by the two-to-one pro-
suffrage soldier vote that it is like offering
sugar to a fly drowning in molasses to ask
them to consider any more of these ''facts"
by which Mrs. James w. Wadsworth, for
instance, has sought to sustain their case
Yet there are some we'll worth considering
before any more such hazardous sugges-
tons are allowed to emanate from the anti
camp.
For instance while you are considering
consider the 10th in Manhattan where
Mitchell, VINO is alleged to have carried the
vote Of the patriotic, led by 200 and suf-
frage won by 1900. Consider the 18th,
who're also Mitchell led by about 100, and
suffrage won by about 300 Consider the
9th, where Mitchell led by LOO, and suf-
frage Won by Approximately 800
Consider the Dist in Brooklyn, where
Mitchell received the highest district vote
cast for him and suffrage received one of
the highest pluralites recorded for it,
namely, 1866. And side by side with it
consider the goth, where Hylan's pro-Ger-
man vote is alleged to have elected him,
and note that here suffrage won by only
$50.
Consider the 1st Assembly District in
Queens, with an industrial and largely Ger
man population, and note that the Hillquit
and Hylan vote together totalled 1858, yet
here was rolled up one Of the heaviest
votes against suffrage in the whole state,
1926 voting no. 1t won by only SIG votes.
Jump over to A. d. 4, Flushing, a resden-
tial district and not German, and note that
while Mitchell was polling 1920 votes, as
compared with his 1903 in the list, suf-
frage was rolling up plurality of 300.
We have quite collection of these facts
for tie opponents Of suffrage to consider
a. from issue to issue we deal them out.

THE Gates Through Which the
1 Disease Enters

The three methods by which the germ
may enter the human system are by inhala-
ton, lngestlon and incubation. The main
method OF contracting tuberculosis is by
'nhalng dried, infectious tuberculous dust
floating in the air, coming from carelessly
deposited sputum. Whoever coughs and ex-
pectorates, whether it be in the trenches
dugouts, barracks, tents, armories or other
confined places, should endeavor not to de-
post the sputum where it has a chance to
dry up, unless it can be where exposure to
direct sunlight will render it harmless
When person coughs, let him always hold
ms hand before his mouth. He will thereby
avoid injecting others by inhalation infec
ton or dropIet infection, if he should hapnen
10 De afflicted with tuberculosis, Influenza
measles or even an ordinary cold. By droplet
infection is understood that manner of con-
veylng the disease by the SPRAY of small
particles (droplets) of infectious saliva dur
ing the so-caled dry cough, or even sneezine
and IN some individuals during excited sneak
ing.
Against the danger of tuberculous food in
the form Of infected milk or meat steril;z
ing or bolllng the milk and thoroughly cook
ing or brolllng the meat suffice for all prac-
teal purposes. Eating and drinking utensils
should never be 'swapped,' and thew shonld
always be thoroughly cleaned before use To
protect ones self against getting tubercu-
ious incubation from any skin wound or
scratch, it is best to let the wound bleed
Freely, so as to wash away any infections
substances, and then use a clean piece of
cheesecloth or muslin, dipped in hot water
or alcohol, and tie up the wound until sur
Glcal aid can be obtained.
Numerous as the causes Wherein I'm
oerculosis may be contracted. more is nee6od
to contract tuberculosis than the accidental
1nhalatlon of a few tuberculosis germs or the
occasional lngestion Of tuberculous food In
good health the human system is provided
with various means of defence against the in
Vaslon OF the tuberculosis baclli, such as the
