2 4 brought chocolates to the women watchers when they brought cigars for the men. They fell over each other to get the most comfortable chair for “the lady” and apologized for its not being a rocker. Some time ago a man in an elevator re- moved his hat on the entrance of a woman. Then noting her suffrage button he clamped his hat solidly on his head and puffed his cigar as offensively as possible. He was giv- ing her a voiceless speech and it was as follows: Madam, if you insist on political rights you will be treated just as men treat men. ‘That this man was, is, and ever shall be wrong there are now over five thousand women who can prove from personal experience. The American man is famous the world over for his courtesy to women. It is not a veneer but goes clear through him and it won’t rub off because she hap- pens to be going to drop her vote in the bal- lot box rather than her letter in the post box. How Men Value the Thing They so Lightly Take Away from Women MAN who had served a term in prison entered a lawyer’s office and asked for the lawyer’s signature to a petition to the Governor to restore his citizenship. To the question as to why he was so anxious to regain his citizenship he replied: “Why, say, you can’t do a thing without it. You’ve no standing. I may have to go to court, as a witness and the moment they find out that I’m no citizen, I’m discredited. “T stand no chance of bettering myself. Can’t apply for a civil service position or any ity office. Have no chance with the politi- dans if I ask fora job. Bel me it’s hard enough to earn your living anyway but without your citizenship it’s impossible.” The lawyer gladly signed knowing only too well the plight in which the man found himself for she herself had been deprived of her citizenship and held disqualified as a lawyer in her state and her offence con- sisted merely in being a woman and in marrying a foreigner. A Critical Estimate “THE MAN who means well is as dis- tressing as a camel’s hair undergar- ment,” stated Professor Pate. “He is as free from evil purpose as a dead clam on a kee shore, but—er-h’m!—the Other Place is paved with good intentions, and yet is no picnic ground. On account of his inno- cence he is always getting into predicaments that no one else would think of, and he will take with a smile risks that would make the most heavily bearded pioneer shudder toeven contemplate. After getting himself embroiled in trouble he expects, because he meant well, that all the rest of us will drop whatever we are doing and rush to rescue. I must confess that I am weary of the well meaning man.” True! The sick man with a pretty nurse needs alot of waiting on. CONSTIPATION IN CHILDREN O you realize how often the founda- tions of ill health are laid in early childhood — by the neglect of parents who fail to guard their children from the dangers of the constipation habit P Children should not be given cathartics and strong purges. They weaken the natural processes of evacuation and are dangerously habit-forming. Approved by Harvey W.Wiley Director of Good House- keeping Bureau of Foods, San- itation and Health A far safer and saner means of securing normal bowel movements is the use of Nujol, which emi- nent physicians, both in this country and abroad, are now prescribing. Nujol is not a laxative, but acts in effect as a me- chanical lubricant, preventing the contents of the intestines from becoming hard and so promoting healthy and regular bowel activity. Most druggists carry Nujol, which is sold only in pint bottles packed in cartons bearing the Nujol trademark. If your druggist does not carry Nujol, accept no substitute. We will send a pint bottle prepaid to any point in the United States on receipt of 75c.—money order or stamps. Write for booklet, “The Rational Treatment of Constipation.” Address Dept. 13.
