ing change.
For very much the same reason
your typical o. M. is always an anti
suffragist, for the compelling mo-
tive that his or her grandmother
was one. Why they do not wear
caps and hoop-skirts for the same
reason it IS difficult to follow.
We have old maids of this type
in the senate, house and state legis-
lature. We have always had them,
and like the Biblical poor. we shall
have them perpetually. The impa-
tient reformer does not always see
it, but these reactionaries are a val
liable spur to all forward move
ments.
They are the pebbles that give
greater momentum to the stream of
progress. But we think of them and
lament their presence in Tennyson's
apt phrase: "A yet warm corpse,
and yet unburiable." Not long ago,
one of these ran for the presidency;
he also undertook an unsuccessful
pleasure excursion, at the govern
ment's expense for which a certain
club awarded him medal for valor.
l do not know the inscription on this
gift horse, but bearing his record on
woman suffrage in mind, it might
have read: He has not changed his
mind in fifty years.
The Bachelor Girl.
The bachelor differs from the old
paid in that she is invariably fem
inine. We have no bachelor girl
wearing trousers, and wearing mus
taches and boards, as we have old
maids-and all too many of them.
The bachelor girl is a spinster and
as progressive as the old maid is
reactionary. The bachelor girl al
most always marries, and if she does
not it is for every reason but lack
of opportunity. She dresses well,
because she realizes that good ap-
pearance is the best introduction,
and while dowdy jacket may cover
a noble heart she realizes it will OBJ
tain slower recognition than if its
nobility were masked by one that
is up to date.
The bachelor girls were the first
to avail themselves of the higher ed
ucation offered to women, and to
fill the colleges and prepare far the
professions. They were the first to
organize units in France and Bel
GUM to feed the refugees, care for
the lost children and nurse the sick,
and they went prepared for these
duties.
They did not invade stricken
countries full of futile sympathy and
inability to speak a word of the lam
guage. They had less of ooh, you
poor dears," and more of 'Je
pearle."
They did the first thing that came
to hand and they did it mighty we'll

Thanksgiving Dinner Hints for
Busy Housewives

In the city the average housewife
finds it easier. and usually more
satisfactory to purchase good
brand of the canned pumpkin than
to purchase the pumpkin itself, peel
and cook it for hours, then can it to
be used at a later day to make it
into pies and pudding.
There are several points to know
about this canned product which are
most valuable to remember. Canned
pumpkin is cheaper than any other
pie filling and considerably cheaper
than practically all other canned
foods.
Sugar shortage has greatly cur
tailed the home canning of pie fill
ings. Pumpkin>pie is one OF the few
articles which can be successfully
sweetened with cane and corn
syrup.
Pumpkin pies have but one crust,
requiring but half the -four used
in other pies. Pumpkin is also used
in buildings where no crust is neces-

IN THE SPRING

will be the great test of a life and death
struggle on the Western front. In the
everyday walks of life, it is the spring
time that brings i'll health. One of the
chief reasons why the rundown man
d1ds himself in a bad state of health in
March or April is because he has spent
nearly all his hours for the past four or
five months penned up within the walls
of house, factory or office. 1t is the rea-
son for our diminished resstance-that
is, lack of outdoor life, coupled with
perhaps over-eating, lack of good exsr-
else, insufficient sleep, and constipation.
In other words, we keep feeding the
furnace with food but do not take out
the ''clinkers," and our fire does not burn
brightly. Always keep the liver active.
There is nothing better for health than
taking an occasional mild laxative, per
haps once a week; such one as you
can get at any drug store, made up of
May-apple, jalap, aloec2 .(sugar-coated,
tiny, easily taken }, which has stood the
test of fifty years of approximately
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets. But for

condition, the lack of ambition, the
"blues," one should take a course of
treatment every spring; such a standard
tonic as DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Dis
covery, now to be had in tablet form in

plodding along the street. There's no
spring, no vitality. A vitalizing tonic such
as this vegetable extract of DR.. Pierce's

action. The brain responds to the new
blood in circulation, and thus you're ready

Of the ways of working a farm: farm

weeks. An unframed farmland with
a pair Of horses and riding cultiva-
tor going into Il field Of corn, potatoes
etc, can do more damage in a day
than his services are worth in IN en-
tire season.
AS for women, the native born are
not educated for farm work. They
! might be forced to learn i'm the course
of number Of years, but they are not
as consttutionally rugged as their for
eign sisters: they were not brought up
to labor in the fields.
"If a supply Of labor is not furnished
to the farms the world faces serious
condition for the year 1850, one
more serious than my words convey.
Where, then, is this farm labor to
come from?
MANY people have advocated the
Introduction of Chinese. If the war is
to continue and shortage of workers
is going to last, why wouldn't it be a
good plan to import 100000 or 100000
Chinese after the manner set by France
and LET them stay in this country for
three or five years?
"The Chinaman, as Californians tell
us, is a reliable, industrious and very
capable farmland. probably because
his country has been pre-eminently an
agricultural nation for centuries. If
we do not want them any longer than
the time set. then they can be shipped
back to China under terms that are at
tractive and generous, such as the
French have promised.
"This really seems at first blush to
be the likeliest solution of our pressing
need Of tillers of the soil. We must
not forget that it will be Il long, long
time before we will again have labor
ing on our railroads, working in our
construction gangs at various under
takings, the thousands Of Italians up
on whom we relied down to 1914.
''If the introduction of the Oriental
is objected TO, then why not enlist our
trained farm labor in the National
Guard, retain them in this country for
home defense and hold them where
they can be drawn on promptly for ag-
ricultural purposes, and yet be within
easy reach if they are required for do
nestle military service? In this way
the skilled farmland is a finished
workman, and if economic considera-
tiOns are to be needed he should be
used where he can contribute most to
the national welfare"
