REFINED SUGAR STEADY.

NEW YORK, June 29.-There was
no change in the local raw sugar mar
ket. with Porto Ricos still available
at cents for centrifugal. No sales of
5000 bags Of San Domingoes were
sold to local refiners at . 9-16 elf
This price, on it's face, is equal to
about ASS duty paid, but the sugar
was taken to be refined for export,
and consequently receives a drawback,
which brings the actual cost to the re-
finer below the Porto Rican quotation.
Raw sugar futures were steadier.
and at midday were unchanged to l
point net higher. Business was light.
In refined prices were unchanged at
$50 to $50 for fine granulated, with
a. moderate inquiry recorted.>
Business in refined futures consisted
of two lots of September at 5.65. an

Public Rest Room

AS our readers have been informed
that the County Nurse is once more in
their midst after an extended absence
of some months.
The districts or town where the
Nurse is no doors are barred, SO that
all who need her help may find her
without difficulty, but the trouble at
present is there is no door bell, no
telephone OF no sign with the words
COUNTY NURSE in any office or build
ing to indicate the location of the Pub
lie Health Nurse.
Until an office or room in a Public
building can be secured the Nurse is
helpless in a community.
This room could be made a health
centre or rest room. Tired babies
could be made comfortable; mothers
would have an opportunity to visit
with the Nurse. Pamphlets and in
structive reading material could be
kept there.
The key to health in a Military Camp
is Sick Call. 1t is the searching for
i~ncipient illness in order that more
sickness may be prevented. Therefore
the Public Health Nurse must have a
location or a station on which to build
il she is going to make her work es-
sential.
Mary A. Curley,
County Nurse.

LEAGUE OF WOMEN VOTERS
WOULD REVISE MARRIAGE LAW

Revision of the laws of marriage and
divorce, ~unification Of civil service
laws, property rights and other funda-
mental problems concerning women
may be worked out satisfactorily as
a result of the National League of
Women Voters. At their recent IN
vention at Cleveland there were 1000
women in attendance at most Of the
sessions, coming from practically ev-
cry state in the union. Daily discus
sion of election laws, child welfare,
American citizenship, women in indus
try, social hygiene, ~uniication of laws
and food supply and demand occurred
during the sessions. This is the first
time in thirty years that Mrs. Gait
had been a plain delegate. No hats
were permitted in the convention hall
but smart gowns and beautiful Golf
fudes proved that the cartoonists' ideas
of a women voter are all wrong.
The platform planks submitted for
adoption commit the league to its most
strenuous years program. In the
main recommendations were:
Endorsement of legislation for the
acquisition of stockyards by the rail-
roads.
Encouragement of legitimate coop
erative associations by the state leag-
ues.
Removal from women Of all legal
disabilities, of all common law disabil-
tiles of married women; equal proper
ty rights between wife and husband,
and legislation to abolish common law
marriages and require health certifi-
Gates as requisites for a marriage Ii
ense.
Rededication of the Sheppard-Town-
err maternity bill to raise the standard,
physically and otherwise, of the Amer
lean mother end baby by federal APP
preparation and federal-state %applica-
ton.
Federal control of food industry
urged as i'm the case of banking and
other branches OF business, proposed
by committee. Cooperation between
producer and u and between
farm and city women to work
out solution Of the problem Of waste.
profiteering and lack of distribution.
Continued support to federal trade
commission to cooperate with all fed
eral agencies to obtain proper produc-
ton, distribution and use of food.
Support of right of women to organ
ize. The fight for the open shop Is
called a step backward
A real merit system to prevail in
federal service. Women should not be
Disseminated against.
