to Qualify for Voting

PLACES in each voting district will be
open between the hours OF and II,
and 4 TO Z, Standard Time.
l hope that you will not take II
amiss II ] offer word of advice. Re
member that it Is better to have a
public cOnsc ence, outside and above
party caucus. than to allow your
selves to be made tools for mere
party purpose. In other words,
keep your independence Of judgment
and conscience, and realize that the
greatest aid you can render TO gov
ernment, is by voting to put into Of
fee honest ald efficient public ser
wants, and keeping dishonest and IN
efficient ones out. Let good govern
ment rather than mere party success,
be your ambition. Remember, then,
Sept. 18th or October 10th Get your
selves registered, and get as many
other women as you can TO register.
The highest and most patriotic ser
vice that a citizen can render, IS ac-
tive interest in the government. A
community is only as good as It's
citizens make 10, and this in return
applies to the State and Country. The
welfare Of everyone OF US Is affected

said:
III II Is for that women paint and besmear them
selves can tell them that AN men, nearly all, have
agreed that white and red paint makes them look hdeou
and frghtfu; that red paint alone and dsguises
them that solemnly protest against all articles
women employ TO make themselves look ugly
III women were by nature what they make themselves
by art II they to lose suddenly all the freshness OF
their compexons and their faces to become fiery as
they make them with the red paint they besmear them
selves with they would consider themselves the most
wretched creatures EARTH
Thus IN the i7h century de la Bruyere giving vent
10 the same SORT OF criticism that may be heard today
among men who have appreciation for the graphic ART
Of painting as applied TO the complexion.
Men are all alike. De la Bruyere is almost forgotten
but girls stil paint
