tion, January 10, 1918. Between this oate and September 30, when the President went to the Senate and made a strong appeal, the amend ment from time to time caused in tense interest and anxiety.
 President Wilson staunchly and persistently advocated the amend ment, working for it in every pos s5ble way. In 1915, when a woman suffrage amendment was pending in New Jersey, he went home to vote for it, and after his nomination in the Democratic National Convention of 1916 he spoke at the National American Woman Suffrage conven- tion in Atlantic City. He is the only President of the United States who ever identified himself with the sui frage movement or in any way assist ed it. With characteristic courage where principle is involved, he gave himself unreservedly to this cause. To his administration will belong the honor of having enfranchised the wo- men of the nation While he is head of the Government, something more than 25.Ooo,eoo women will receive the vote.

Anyone Now Can Have
Pretty Curls and Waves

Hair tortured with the hot curling
iron is bound to become dry, harsh and
brittle, as so many know from sad ex-
perience. It's far more sensible to use
the simple slmerine method, which can
do no harm and which produces a curli-
ness much prettier and more natural
in appearance. And the effect lasts
much longer, particularly in hot, moist
or windy weather. Silmerine is also
fine dressing for the hair, preserving
its texture and health, keeping it de-
lightfully soft and glossy.
Liquid silmerine is not sticky or
greasy and it won't stain or streak hair
or scalp. Get few ounces from the
druggist, pour little into saucer and
with clean tooth brush apply evenly
to the hair just before doing it up
The added glory to your GROWING
glory" will be quite remarkable. adv.
