Better Wives and Mothers

2 The emancipation of woman as evil denced by the evolution in dress from steel stays that made a twenty inch waist and the long street sweeping skirts to the sports clothes of the present day has certainly had its ef- feet upon the health of women.

If, however, ailments develop as evidenced by, irregularities, backache, headaches, nervousness and irritability, Lydia E. Pinkham's Vege- table Compound may be depended upon to overcome them.

We could name many instances of on
ly recent occurrence where just a
few votes, and even one vote would
have changed the whole destiny of
men and measures, both in our state
and nation. We never can know how
good or how bad popular govern
ment can be made until the people
take a proper interest in elections.
1t is my opinion that votes are
lost because of having to register
every two years, an unnecessary dup
lication, and if this law was re.
pealed, it would mean tremendous
saving to the taxpayers. The new
vote could easily be taken care of in
every election by some officer in ev-
cry community, designated by the
county commissioners.
These elections now cost the tax
payer about $1.00 for every voter, and
more. The saving would maintain
all of our highways.

a DUTY no ADVERTISE

Sometimes small executives. in
their zeal for nOtoriety, do more harm
than they could ever overcome. One
case has recently come TO light in
Connecticut, where an ambitious may
or complained to the state utilities
commission because the power com
panies, railroads. telephone and other
utilities advertised. He set up that
such expenses constituted an umec-
-essary charge and should be eliminar-
ed.
The state commission found the adj
vertising cost was inconsequential as
affecting rates, but it went farther,
declaring that it was the duty of
public utilities to advertise I'm news
papers. Here is what the Connecti-
cut commission said:
"The experience and observation OF
the commission has been that fire.
quently complaints by patrons In
matters relating to utilities are due
to the omission of the utility to pro-
vide intelligent information.
"The commission has always advo-
Gated a proper amount of publicity
on the part of the utilities in order
that their patrons may be Informed
as to operating and financial condi-
tions. A fair and frank statement
by the utility on controversial ques-
tions will assist i'll maintaining re-
lationship of good will and co-opera-
ton between the company and its

Woman plays politics like she

Woman has cleaned up politics,

awIMMIN" IN. POLITICS

OF all the arguments against wo-
man suffrage there is only one real
sound objection, and that is on ac-
count of the passing Of the old-time
precinct voting place. What former
ly was a great American masculine
institution is now refined, effeminate,
and we might say, downright unin-
teresting. The great game of getting
he-votes-in-the-box" is quite blase-a
mere legal routine.
Woman, whose fine hand has shap-
ed the nations, now has invaded the
last stronghold of man, and driven
him like a stag at bay to seek shelter
and protection only in the memory or
the days that used to be. For woman,
lively woman, is .'in" politics, and
has taken mere man from the only
place he had his last say.
When it comes to serving on the
election board, a woman can WELD a
wicked pencil, cast a cautious eye,
and use stubborn judgment. 1t

about being a Democrat or Vice
Versa; but now since women are
guiding the destinies of the ballot
emporiums you can't even get into the
place if one of the women suspects
you're not ON her side of the offense.

that's taboo. The last election there
