DENIED EQUALITY OF SEXES
Men in 1918 Had Decided Views as to
Woman's Intellect and Her
Sphere of Duty.

There lies on the desk a book pub
lished and sold by Moses Thomas,
Philadelphia, bearing the date of 1913,
which makes it one hundred and five
years old. There are many strange
things in that book, which contains
Selections From Foreign Reviews and
Magazines" all of which is claimed to
be "the best thought of the ablest men
of the age" There is an essay at
lacking a French authoress who was
claiming an equality of intellect of the
two sexes. The reviewer remarks:
"Upon the whole, we do not think that
a little learning is always dangerous
erence to her condition of life and the
sphere of her duties.
That is as far as the world had got
at that time in the education of wOm-
en-. About seventy years afterward,
when a woman became senior wrangler
at Oxford, which is the highest honor
In mathematics, there began a change
of opinion concerning the quality Of
woman's intellect.
1t was maintained in the entire
period by these "ablest men of the
age" that the female intellect" was
entirely inferior to that of men, and
that her physical structure made 1t
impossible for her to comprehend the
great questions, such as that of war.
Since then a woman has written the
greatest war hymn of the world.-St.
Louis GlObe-DemOcrat.

SHARP REDUCTION
IN SUGAR SUPPLY

LESS sweets, to the sweet" is to
be the slogan for next month so far
as ice cream and CONNECTION is con-
cerned.
Restrictions on the use of sugar
will be even more rigid during No
vember and December than at pres
ent, in order that the needs of the
fighting forces of the United States
and her Allies may be supplied. The
Food Administration announced to-
night that sugar allotments for house,
hold use will be held strictly to two
pounds person each month, and that
the supply for manufacturers of soft
drinks, ice cream and CONNECTIONS will
be reduced sharply.
For the manufacture of soft drinks
the amount to be supplied during No
vember and December will be 25 per
cent of the n ormal requirements, or
a cut of one-half from the amount
used for such purpose since July. Ice
cream manufacturers will come I'M
der the same restrictions, receiving
only one-fourth the amount normally
required
Practically all manufacturers of
beverage syrups, chewing gum, choc-
olae, cocoa, matted milk, table syr-
ups and molasses, soda water and ar
tificial honey, will be cut to 90 per
cent of the average monthly use from
July l to December 81, 1916, and the
year 1917 combined.
Candy and chocolate manufacturers
have been instructed by Food Admin
istration to give preference to orders
from the Army, Navy, Red Cross,
Young Mems Christian Association,
knights of Columbus and Salvation
Army. Except for shipments over
seas sugar for these orders must come
from the manufacturers regular al
lotment.

WIGS ONCE THOUGHT SINFUL
Puritans Held That Men Had No
Right to interfere With DISPENSE
tons of Providence.

Having last night heard that Josiah
Willard had cut of his hair "a very
full head of hair) and put on a Wigg,
/ went TO him this morning. Told his
Mother what / came about, and she
called him. / enquired of him what
Extremity had forced him TO put of
his own hair, and put on a Wigg? He
answered. none at all. But said that
his hair was straight. and that it
parted behind. Seem'd TO argue thai
men might as well shave their hair of
their head. as off their face. I an-
dained our Hair as a Test TO see
whether we can bring our minds TO be
contented at his finding; or whether
we would be our own Carvers, Lords,
and come no more TO him. Pray'd
him TO read the Tenth Chapter of the
Third Book of Colvin's Institutions.
:. Told him that it was condemned
by a Meeting of Ministers at North
ampton in Mr.. Stoddard's house when
the said Josiah was there. He
seem'd to say would leave off his
Wigg when his hair was grown.
spake to his father of 1t day or two
after; he thanked me that had dis.
cursed his Son, and told me that
when his hair was grown to cover his
ears he promised to leave off his
Wigg. If he had known of 1t, would
have forbidden him. His Mother
heard him talk of it; but was afraid
positively to forbid him lest he should
do it. and so be more faulty.-From
Judge Sewall's Diary QUOTED in "The
Heart of the Puritans").

Nerve and Eye Strain.

Many nervous as well as other dis
eases are caused by incorrect illumin-
alton. The eye is a subject of prime
consideration in connection with our
health and happiness. Eye fatigue
spoils the disposition; as that is one
of the conditions given for inefficient
work, we find here again reduction
in efficiency and cause for more loss
of the workman's time. The first loss
was mechanical, the second is phys
ical; both, when reduced to a dollar
and-cents basis, show a large percent
age over the cost of lighting that
would be required to eliminate them.
AS judgment is dependent upon per-
ception. and perception upon the sight,
then the laborer, to be efficient, must
be able to see fine details and small
objects at close range with sharpness
and distinction, to distinguish objects
at a distance with accuracy. and to
have clear perception of all objects In
the intermediate space.

At the Blue Triangle Hostess House

recently dropped in, wet and bedrag-

The hostess grinned and admitted
that an entertainment had been plann-

arrived. So the two boys and the
Y. W. c. A. hostess got together and
arranged an impromptu affair, and
the boys, wet though they were, con-
sented to sing some of their army

FOUR MINUTE MEN
HAVE NEW TASK
VIII Devote Week Of October 20
To 26 To Explaining
Food Program
HAVE NEW HOME CARD

The task before the American peo-
pie is outlined by Mr. Hoover in his
letter TO the Four Minute Men. in
these words:
Our Government has pledged sew
enteen and half million tons of food
to the Allies and our own Army i'm
France. This is five and three-fourths
millions more than we shipped last
year and our aggregate food supply
IS approximately the same"
The program placed in the hands
Of the Four Minute Men sums up the
situation as follows:
Our simple formula for this year
Is to further reduce consumption and
waste of all food. We have so ar
ranged the in .ernational food program
that, except for moderate substitu-
ton of cereals other than wheat in
bread, it will not, we hope. be neces-
sary to substitute the foodstufs for
another nor to resort to wheatless
and meatless days What we need
is TO reduce directly our consump-
ton of all foodstuffs, laying especial
emphasis on the staples"
Attention will be called to the new
Home Card, distribution of which will
be begun on October 2Sth, concerning
which the bulletin of the Four Minute
Men says:
This distribution will be through
mt tho Ifnifnd
card is intended to be hung up in the
home, probably in the kitchen, where
it will be seen continuously by those
who buy and prepare food for the
family. 105,000,000 intelligent peop-
pie to continue the greatest voluntary
effort at food control ever made by a
nation.
1T enjoins the eating of food for
health and strength only and not
merely for pleasure or for habits
sake. This home card will be releas-
ed for publication on October 81. 1t
has number of definite admonitions
to the people of America upon what
to save and how to save, deals briefly
with the vital question of shipping.
Herbert Hoover to the people of Amer
and carries special message from
lea. II says that food saved now will
save human lives and that the rapid
ity and the completeness of our vic
tory depend directly on the degree
of our effort, and that this effort be-
comes a personal responsibility for
everyone of us. Mr.. Hoover says in
this home card that he believes we
can accomplish the necessary saving
this year, as we did last year, by the
voluntary action of the people. He
closes his appeal by saying that saw
ing food is necessary to winning the
war and that the people of America
mean to, and will, win this war"

RAISED BANK NOTES OUT
$1.0O and $500 Bills CamOufIaged as
$1,000 and $1,000

A warning against raised Federal
Reserve Bank notes, which are be-
ing passed in Baltimore, was issued
last Friday by Captain Charles E.
Wright, the local secret service agent
of the Government. Captain Wright
has in his possession one of the notes
which was raised from 81 to $40 by
FASTING the 40" over the "2" on each
of the four corners on the face and
back No other change or alteration
was made on the note, the reading
on which stated that it was for two
dollars.
The note in Captain Wright's pos
session was passed Thursday night in
a downtown store and the fraud was
not discovered until the note reached
bank with the stores deposit Cap
tain Wright has learned that there
are in circulation here Federal Re-
serve Bank notes which have been
raised in the same manner from 81
and 50 to $40.
The raised notes are calculated to
deceive any one on casual look but
they may be detected readily by a
close examination. The figures pasted
on the notes are colored to match the
borders with which they were litho-
graphed 1t was suggested that they
had been made by counterfeiters who
would not undertake to counterfeit
the whole note.
The raised notes may readily be
detected by the touch, as the corners
on which the figures are pasted are
thicker than the rest of the bill. Care
full inspection of all notes of the Fed
eral Reserve Bank issue will prevent
the circulation of those which have
been raised.
