SAYS HOLCOMB
 HAS PROMISED A SPECIAL SESSION

New Haven, Aug. 26-Members of the state board. Connecticut Woman Suffrage association. met with Mrs. Harrison Freeman at her home in Hartford yesterday to discuss ways and means of educating the women on just wha will be required of them as voters. Plans to keep this organiza- ton active until after election in the fall were formulated. Mrs. T. s. Mo Dermott went from New Haven. Mrs. McDermott. who is also chairman of the city organization, urges that the women register to be made voters at once.
 'I do not feel that there is any doubt about it now." said Mrs. Nc Dermott. The word of such an au- thority as former President Taft may be taken as final, I believe. MT. Taft says that no state has jurisdiction over the federal law. and Tennessee has ratified the amendment, and the ratification has been certified. Ac- cordinE to what I heard in Hartford. we are only waiting for the procla- nation of the secretary of state in Washington. We expect that to come trough almost at once."
 "Gov. Holcomb has promised to call a special session for the machin- cry of the women vote. and he prom ised us also that if there -Ias any technical point in the present election laws, he would call a special session to amend it, thus giving chance to vote in the fall elections. The women votes will mean much in presi- dential elections this year"
 The association will do all it can to help women become capable voters. A school -or voters will be establish ed, and capable teachers sent wher- ever they are needed to instruct the women. Tn; organization plans to take an active interest in the fall elections.

the cold had simply left the lit

when diphtheria is prevalent
you should take him out Of
school and keep him off the
street until fully recovered, as
there is a hundred times more

when he has a cold. When Cham

Nervous troubles, with back
ache, dizzy spells, queer pains
and irregular kidneys, give rea-
son to suspect kidney weakness
and to try the remedy that has
helped your neighbor. Ask your
neighbor!
Mrs. George Williams, 1901
Bloom St., Lexington, says: my
back ached and panied dreadful
ly some five years ago. | used
Doan's Kidney Pills and they
certainly gave me fine relief. l
was troubled with awful lame
ness and soreness in the small
of my back at times. When !
stopped over it was almost i'm
possible to straighten because of
the severe pains. Often little
specks would come before my
eyes, blurring my sight. My
kidneys acted irregularly, caus-
ing me a lot of trouble. | became
very nervous and weak and suf-
fered most of the time. AS an
other member of the family had
used Doan's Kidney Pills with
good success l got a few boxes
and they entirely cured me of
the trouble"
