matters of organization necessary to
meet contingencies thar had arisen

After-War Coffee.

People old enough to remember the
Civil war are able to recall the fact
that after the close of that conflict il
was difficult and often impossible to
obtain coffee. Various substitutes were
used, such as parched rye, but one that
was commonly utilized in Washington
and many other cities was sweet po-
tatoes. The latter were first roasted
and allowed to burn somewhat on the
outside. Then they were mashed in
wafer and boiled. The water was thus
transformed into coffee, by no means
so unpalatable as might be imagined
Sugar in those days cost - cents a
pound. But the sweet potato coffee
required no sugar, and so was an eco
nomical drink.

LOWEST infant DEATH RATE
: IN FULL SUFFRAGE COUNTRIES;
BALLOT SAFEGUARDS The HOME
New Zealand First Country to Grant Suffrage to Women,
Has Lowest Infant Mortality Rate in the World
Women Use Ballot to Further Legislation for Home
and State.

In days gone by dire accusation:
were brought against women who
dared nurse an ambition to have 9
voice In the government of their coun
try. Every unlovely epithet In. the
English dictionary-andt there are sew
eral-was bestowed upon them. They
were home-wreckers, child-haters
family destroyers. But year by year
woman suffrage was tried out country
by country, state by state, and lol
It was discovered that woman was
using her vote, not to wreck the home,
to protect 1t; not to the hurt of chill
dren, to their great good; not to de-
stroy the family, to strengthen and
secure 1t. So widespread has been
the discovery that opponents of
woman suffrage no longer dare make
these charges save In backwoods
places--or places that they consider
backwoodsy. In view of the facts, 1t
is to flout the intelligence of COM
munity to tell 1t that to give woman
the right to protect her home and her
children by a vote Is to make her
hate home and children. Every time
and everywhere that woman gets a
chance to vote she proceeds to use
that vote for the benefit of home and
children. Consider the record:
Over 100000 babies die every year
In the United States before they are
one year old. The National Conser-
walton Commission estimates that an
Individual is worth $4,000 to society.
At this rate the. 100000 babies repre-
sent a yearly loss of 100000 to
the United States.
Five countries have lower infant
death rate than the United States.
They are New Zealand, with an infant
death rate of SO per 1000 births; Nor
way, 6S per 1000; Australia, 72 per
1000; Sweden, II per 1000, and
France, 70 per 1000. The women in
all FIVE countries leading the list now
have full or municipal suffrage. Wo-
men have had the vete in New Zea-
iauu AOA tWChty yCaAc anu 4NCW 6Cu-
land has the lowest infant death rate
In the world.
In the United States, California, a
full suffrage state, Is the banner Baby
State. 1t has the highest birth rate
In the Union, and very low death
rate. One of the lowest infant death
rates In the United States, AIT, Is in
Berkeley, California.
In Portland, Oregon, the infant death
rate is 5S1 per 1000 births; in Spo-
kane, Washington, SIT. Kansas has
reduced it's rate from 100 to 20 since
1t adopted Public Nursing Associa-
tion in 1913. Washington gave women
the vote In 1910, California In 1911,
Kansas and Oregon In 1912.
When, OF all the civilized world, the
country that has had woman suffrage
the longest has the lowest death rate,
and the countries with the next low
est rate all have woman suffrage, can
there be doubt that woman suffrage

helps to bring about healthier living
conditions for all the people?
Isn't it evident that when mothers
are represented In government and
their opinions and interests are con-
suited, babies have better chance7
Isn't 1t proved that women with the
ballot do not neglect their homes and
babies?
Giving the ballot to women not only
helps them to do their own work more
effectively, but actually increases the
wealth of the nation, both in man
power and in dollars and cents.
The lowest death rate recorded In
the 1920 World Almanac figures was
in equal suffrage Seattle, WASH,
where In 1917 1t was SO per 1000
population. The next lowest was TO
per 1000 In Boise, Idaho, in 1918, and
the next was 7.3 in Berkeley, CAL. In
1917.
