My famous cream of celery soup
gets it's charm out of that same
bottle Of Al Sauce, and indeed so
do many other dishes which used
to be fat and tasteless under the
old-fashioned plain white sauce.

ITALY RIPE FOR SUFFRAGE
Opposition on Political and Moral
Grounds Gone {

The time is ripe for the establishment
of equal suffrage in Italy. according to
a dispatch from Rome. says the Wom-
ans Citizens. This report states that
opposition to woman suffrage on politi-
cal and moral grounds has completely
vanished. and that a large majority who
had formerly opposed such measure
could now be counted among its warmest
supporters
Premier Orlando. a prominent convert
To suffrage. on the closing day of the
italian Parliament, according to report
made an official announcement to the
effect that the Government would sup
port any hill granting to women the
right to vote, and that any further at
tempt to deny them the right to a more
direct participation in the political life
of the country would be futile and, per-
haps. unwise. Calling attention to the
part women are taking in industry the
Premier stated: Women are affected
by the same problems confronting us
and are equally interested in their solu-
tion They have given to war as much
as we have given, and | believe the time
Is here for granting them the right to
vote"

How Nurse Read While Soldiers Life
Was Ebbinu Away.

London, November 2.-[By MALL
A fair haired, blue eyed boy from the
North Country lay dying for six
months in an English hospital. He
had been brought back from France
shot through the spine, and was a
hopeless case from the beginning.
During those long and dreary six
months he never let one word of com
plant escape him, and he seemed al
ways to be smiling He had one great
consolation; he had become acquaint
ed with the Waverley novels, and in
his last days he was reading Ivan
hoe" Gradually he became too weak
to read, and the nurse would take the
book and read aloud to him.
She was reading on the last day
of all when the padre" came and his
father and mother were at the bed
side, and being a good lad he kissed
his parents affectionately and listened
very attentively tn the prayers, but
the moment they were over he turned
to the nurse and said in a whisper
Please go on reading, and as fast as
you can. for do so want to know
the end
And so she read MIN out of the
world with the great fight of Bois-
Guilbert and Ivanhoe, while the spirit
Of Walter Scott lowered about the
deathbed.
