The members of the American
Meat Packers Association. in session
at Atlantic City. were on Tuesday
told some plain facts by Dr.. John R.
Mohler. chief Of the United States
Bureau Of Animal Industry. He said

A Small Broom for . Sig Ocean.
The anti suffragists Of Maine are
circularizins the legislature in The ef-
fort to prevent action At its coming
session on the ratification Of the Fed
eraf Amendment granting suffrage TO
women. With this broom hey seek
to sweep back the on-rushins ocean
Of right. Justice and enlightened pub
lie opinion.
They are amazed" that ratification
should be considered while a referen-
dunn on presidential suffrage is pend
Ing. and ask whether or not the lay.
Of this State Is to be respected"
1t may be pertinent to ask them
whether the CONSTITUTIONS OF
THE UNITED STATES is to be re-
spected. That document is the SUI
preme law of the land. Under its
provisions the legislature Of this
State is the sole authority authorized
and competent to pass upon the ques-
ton of ratification Of he Federal
Amendment.
The demand" of the people to be
heard on the merely subsidiar, issue
OF presidential suffrage IN this state
consists Of a few thousand petition
ers who were actively solicited at the
instance Of the anti suffragists them
selves. Against that is the demand
Of the people Of the whole United
States. expressed through their
representatives and senators in Con-
gress tMaine included) that the
larger and fundamental proposition of
complete suffrage for women shall
be passed upon by the legislatures Of
the several states.
We apprehend that the attempt of
our anti-sunrase friends to suspend
the functions Of. and dictate to. the
constitutional tribunal entrusted
with the power and duty Of settling
this great question viii not be taken
very seriously.
The world moves. and Maine will
move With It.

IITHoEVER you are, you viii not
w deny that you are q regular
consumer Of soap. that you have been
Intimately associated with soap every
day Of your life since early infancy,
and that you ought to know some
hing about soap.
AS q matter OF fact, do you know
Anything about Il at all?
Most soap is simply com olnation
OF taiiow and soda boiled Iogether,
and. provided both constituents are
pure and clean. there is no better
soap.
The superficial differences between
cakes Of soap are numerous and
striking, but there are Only a few
fundamental differences. The chief
one OF these is in the amount Of
water which the soap contains. Most
toilet soap is from twenty 70 thirty
three per cent water. Naturally, the
more water, the less soap. And be-
sides. the water IN the soap makes it
wear away more easily a soap con-
tanning a large percentage OF water
with a small water content To buy
for economy, therefore, choose a
rather hard. inexpensive soap. It will
make you Just as clean as any soap
you can buy.
How They Perfume En-.
The more expensive soaps are
known as milled soaps. They are
made by grinding the soap and then
comprising it into cakes. The
chief advantage Of this process seems
10 be that Il makes IL possible to mix
more perfume with the soap than can
be done BY merely boiling it.
Floating soap Is n mystery to
the average SOAP user. This at
fractive quality s. given the soap
by blowing IL fun Of tiny air
bubbles while Il ia still hot.
These bubbles are invisible to the
naked eye. They tend to make
TIE soap wear away more quickly
than a non-flOatinE soap.
Transparent soaps are made in
various ways, some OF which tend 10
purify the soap. while others do not
On the whole transparency is not to
be taken as an indication Of purity.
The liquid soaps which you com
monty find in public wash rooms are
almost all made Of cocoaput oil and
potash instead Of tallow and soda.
Either sugar, alcohol or giycerol s,
added TO prevent cloudiness and to
keep the soap from foaming in the
container. Relatively few Of these
soaps contain alcohol, so do not try
drinking them The glycer5f rather
