They're Off.

Troop trains are getting successive.
They run in clusters. The Italian ice
cream vendor who holoS his horse
with one hand and waves the other is
witness to this fact. AS, also, the
youth who grabs the flag off the
front porch and races down to the
crossing with it. And every seat is
filled with a bubbling bird who wants
to wave his hand at everything fem
mime and wonders why every man
can't have whole window to pro-
trude from
Over the rails they click, through
the fields of the Red Cross, past the
War Savings Stamps booths and on to
the point where the identification
tags are inspected. From every cor
ner the operation proceeds.
There's the short dog whose father
was preacher and the piano mover
who drew a No. 10 coat and said it
bound under his arms. There's the
slender sahib from the slopes of the
Rockies and the broad buddy from
the plains who has hand like ham.
There's Jimmie Jusso, the Ojibwa,
and Mike NoWakowski from Cub,
Russia. There's Orlando, the gooda
Wop, and Stanton, vino was golf
champion of Michigan.
They're all in together, mixed up
like a mplligataWney ali wondering
when they are going TO eat and all
anxious to get on the spiral wraps
and get budged on overseas. There
are soiled quartets-a few who roll
the snake-eyed dice-some who think
a flush beats a, full house and plenty
who believe that good snooze THAI
is handy is worth five that are prom
iSed.
With heads full of commands and
general orders pockets full of Camels
and other necessities and a wild de-
sire to kiss every curious skirted
spectator on the platform-they slide
Throughout to the big job of making

MaTse Henry Surrenders.

The Louisville Courier-J Journal, Imost
stubborn and almost the last of the
important journalistic strongholds
against woman's suffrage, has low
cred it's colors and hoisted the white
and yellow ensign Of "Votes fol-
Women" And this is how it an
nOunces the surrender:
So the Courier Journal - the
"Old Lady on the Corner whose
voice has hitherto been raised in
opposition to suffrage for women,
is going to turn the corner and
walk straightway into the ranks
of some of her younger sisters.
She is an old girl herself, but she
can recognize the charms OF the
debutanteS when she sees them.
And she is going t. dance the
Votes for Women" one-step,
waltz, mazurka, polka and all the
rest of the dances until the hand
plays Home, Sweet Home" The
debutantes may be younger in
years. But they shall not Guido
her in the spirit of youth. In her
hand she will carry a banner with
the strange device:
"VUTES FOR WOMENr'
The quotation is the conclusion of
two column editorial in which the
journal seeks not to apologize for
changing it's mind, but to explain that
it had been compelled to change it's
mind The burden of the explana-
tiOn is that the nobility with which
American wOmanhood had arisen to
new duties brought her by the war
and the competence with which she
had taken hold Of her responsibilities
had swept away all the arguments the
Courier-J ournal had been making for
years that her place was in the home
and it would lower her high estate TIC
bring her into the turmoil of practica al
affairs.
This never was much of an argu-
ment, but, such as it was, nobody
ever phrased it in more convincing
language than the Courier Journal
did. 1t was theme upon which the
hand of it's master yirtuoso, Col. Wat
terson, played with a thousand vari.
ations, all of them sprightly. The
women should be all the more pleased
that when surrender did come, ii
was without conditions. ST. LOUIS

Experience the Best Teacher

1t is generally admitted that experience is
the best teacher but should we not make use
of the experience of others as well as our own.
The experience of thousand persons is more
to be depended upon than that of one individ-
ual. Many thousands of persons have used
Cham berlain's Cough Remedy for coughs and
colds with the best results, which shows it to
be thoroughly reliable preparation for those
diseases, Try it. It is prompt and effectual
and pleasant to take.
