The right of suffrage, as we understand it, is what every woman wants, next to a pony coat, a pale blue opera cloak, a serge suit, and adinner gown. There are other things she wants, too, such as a new rug for the dining-room, a high-priced electric | lamp for the library table, and a piano player. If she wasn’t all the time wanting something she wouldn’t be a woman. In fact, a woman wants something but to “do” the dishes or get up a midnight lunch for her husband's male friends, Those things she never wants to do. Just why a woman wants a pony coat or Stopped Short TAKING TONICS AND BUILT UP ON RIGHT FOOD. The mistake is frequently made of trying to build up a worn-out nervous system on so-called tonics -drugs. New material from which to rebuild wasted nerve cells is what should be sup- plied, and this can be obtained only from proper food. “Two years ago I found myself on the verge of a complete nervous collapse, due to overwork and study, and to illnes: family,” writes a Wisconsin young mother. “*My friends became alarmed because I grew pale and thin and could not sleep nights. I took various tonics prescribed by physicians, but their effects wore off shortly after I stopped taking them. My food did not seem to nourish me and I gained no flesh nor blood. “Reading of Grape-Nuts, I determined to stop the tonics and see what a change of diet would do. I ate Grape-Nuts four times a day, with cream, and drank milk also, | went to bed early after eating a dish of Grape-Nuts. “In about two weeks I was sleeping soundly. In a short time gained 20 pounds in weight and felt like a different woman. My little daughter, whom I was obliged to keep out of school last spring on account of chronic catarrh, has changed from a thin, pale, nervous child to a rosy, healthy girl and has gone back to school this fall. “Grape-Nuts and fresh air were the only agents used to accomplish the happy re- Read ‘‘The Road to Wellville,”’ in pack- ages. ‘‘There’s a Reason."’ Everread the above letter?

Any one with half an eye can see that the present dining-room rug is all right. It’s been our dining-room rug for the last fifteen years, and, though it is a | trifle bare and sere in spots, nobody ever complained of the meals served on that ac- count. Wanting things is woman's chief forte, and gratifying her wants is a man’s chief occupation. If it wasn't for the things woman wants, man wouldn’t need to smoke five-cent tobacco in a twenty-five-cent pipe. He wouldn't have to wait for forty-nine- BOE hind them! What she wants to-day we would provide to-morrow, and so on to the end of time. And now, to show that our heart is in the right place, if she really wants the ballot and must have it and can't be happy with- | out it, we'll give her ours, She can have our right of franchise, with all its privi- leges. She may go to the political meet- ings in place of us, she may fill her lungs with the second-hand tobacco smoke and her ears with the bum oratory, and we'll stay home and mind the children.

If it wasn't for woman's wants there would be no ten-cent lunch counters for the busy man, no faded velvet collars on last year's overcoats, and no dollar hat stores. It's woman's wants that have created the two-ounce package of smoking for a nickel, the serve-self eating house, and the forty- nine-cent shirt. But we hold no ill will against woman for that.
