Woman now has, or should have, the
right to govern her own home. The
right to vote is insignificant when
compared to this. She must be its
mistress, but never its slave. That she
has made it immaculate in cleanliness
and resplendent in beauty is moi
enough. She must feel the love anC
truth which should unitedly govern it
What power or dignity can reach
higher? What is the ability to sway
large audiences over a home with such
skill that husband and children shall
rise up and call her blessed? TO be
he ruling spirit in such a position is
L more sacred honor than to rule an
empire. "Woman's rights!" Has man
any higher or more noble? And when
husband and wife see eye to eye and
heart to heart one in the interest OF
acme, they have reached as near per
ection as we are allowed to hope fol-
while on earth.

Try this way. and you will find your

will give the ones you ought to love

I'VE favor the use of cocoanut and
