MRS. Bolts WITNESSES
SUFFRAGE PASSAGE

The following Interesting letter
from Mrs. W. W. Bolts, wife Of Aud
rain county's representative, tells of
the special session of the State Legis-
lsturc when the equal suffrage amend
ment was ratified. Mrs. Bolts has
been an active worker and her letter
is most entertaining. It follows:
Mexico Ledger
JEFFERSON CITY, July 7, 1919
1t was my rare good fortune to be
present when Woman Suffrage be-
came a law in Missouri. There was
practically no objection to the meas
ure in either branch of the Legisla-
ture. / wish to tell the Audrain coun-
ty women that we are now twenty
one years old because we are voters.
The Ratification dinner Tuesday
night was the most interesting and
brilliant assemblage of people l ever
saw. Some of the brightest women
of the State were present and many
of the Legislators in whose honor the
banquet was given. Governor Gard
ner has won the lasting gratitude OF
the Missouri women for his courage
in calling an extra session that they
might be given thir rights to citi-
zenship.
To the men of Audrain County who
are afraid of the results of women
suffrage and who are slow to accept
new views and changed conditions.
want to say you need not fear that
your wives and daughters and sisters
will aspire to the wearing of male
habiliments nor affect masculine man.
ners but will remain as gentle as kind
and sweet and as devoted to the
home, the children and the church as
they have ever been.

4 THOROUGH TEST
One to Convince the Most Skeptical
Mexico Reader.

The test of time is the test that
counts.
Doan's Kidney Pills have made their
reputation by effective action.
The following case is typical.
Mexico residents should be con-
WINGED.
The testimony is confirmed - the
proof complete.
Testimony like this cannot be ig-
nored.
Edward Dermody, Clark avenue,
Mexico, says: 1.-TWO years ago I was
suffering from irregularity of my
kidneys and sharp pains in my sides. /
had headaches, too. l used Doan's
Kidney Pills, procured at Llewellyn &
Sons Drug Store, and was soon cured
of kidney trouble"
The above statement was given on
November 16, 1911, and on June IA,
1916, Mr.. Dermody said: Il have never
been bothered by the kidney COM
plant since recommending Doan's
Kidney Pills in 1911. l still think
highly of Doan's and indorse them
just as strongly today as l did before"
Price Coo, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for a kidney remedy-get
