THE MODERN. WOMAN Suffrage Facts and Fancies By ANNA CADOGAN ETZ What America Does to Emigrants U THINGS happen to the heads of men who emigrate to Q Professor Boaz tells how, under the stimulus of Man- hattan atmosphere, the long headed Sicilian gets less long-headed and the round-headed Bohemian and Hebrew get more long-headed. But the suffragists aren’t worrying about what happens to the shape of the immigrant’s head. What bothers them is what happens to the in- side of it. Up in North Dakota, as everyone knows, the ized the Republican Party and walked off with itsmachine. The suffra- gists have thrilled with delight over the exploin. Because why? Because whenever or wherever there a plunge for freedom, woman suffrage has a splendid chance to sidle in, being, as it were, one of the family. But now comes the news that the woman’s hour has not struck in North Dakota. The benefi y of the democratic movement is not wo- but the grain elevator. In North Dakota woman will still rank politi- cally the equal of idiots and felons and the inferior of the white man, the black man, the red man. . . . and the grain clevator. And why? Because the American climate has in some subtle wa nuded the d of the idea of eq has made Norway the country in which ev —wedding ring or none—and in which ev sions as olfl men. In Norway the Scandinavian regards woman suffrage a ble platitude, but the psychological effect of emigration is such that in North Dakota he regards it as a non-debatable heresy. And so it is that farmers have burglar- y de- which old ladies get as big pen- a non-debata- the press reported that woman suffrage in North Dakota was out of the | ared for “state-owned running because the Scandanavian voter had de elevators” but not for a ‘ petticoated-constituenc The Vote is but a Link in the Chain THe WILL of one Andrew Bowman bears testimony to the fact that woman's sphere and there to-morrow, and that it has an elastic circumference which stretches from generation to generation. For Brother Bowman expressly stipulated not only that a wash basin and towel should be part of the equipment of the public library founded by him in the middle of the 18th century, but that women and dogs should be rigorously excluded. Not long since we learned that in still earlier times a woman who wanted a bite of cheese had to step outside her sphere in order to tak And now we learn from this musty document that reading in the peace and shelter of a public library was once’ militancy for woman. Such being the history of the case, it is no argument to say to a woman, “You must not vote because your mother never voted.” For she can prop- erly ask, “Then can’t I take my book back to the library because my grandmother never went to a library, or can’t I have cheese with my apple pie because my great-great-grandmother eschewed the savory stuff?” s here to-d Does Suffrage Cause Discord in the Home? T" suffragists proclaim that votes for women makes for domestic peace and quict. Seldom do they omit to tell of the woman in Colo- rado who said that since she had become a voter her man was “more like a friend than a husband.’ ‘ But the real gilt-edged evidence on this point would be the story told by adictograph, if one had been installed in the home of the Starchers in Umatilla, Oregon, on the night of the election day which saw Pa Star- cher running for re-election as mayor and Ma Starcher heading a wo- man’s ticket for the same office put in the field two hours before the polls opened—and win, If the dictograph could show that all was quiet along the Potomac at the Starchers’ that evening; if the hand of the defeated mayor passed his cup up pleasantly for another serving of tea poured by the woman who was not only the wife of his bo: ssful political rival, then indeed it must be admitted b: or women had been put to the acid test to emerge in triumph. Send for bi Name Physician Meant “Physic— Dispenser” N Shakespeare’s time, if you were sick and went- to a doctor he did one of two things. He either bled you or ‘‘physicked”’ you. Physicians no longer prac- tice bleeding. And the leaders of the profession are equally opposed to the in- discriminate use of laxative and catharticdrugs. In fact, the habitual use of laxatives is now known to be one of the most fruitful causes of constipation. Physicians of the highest standing prescribe Nujol because it relieves constipation without any bad after effects and without forming a habit. It acts in effect as an internal Jubri- cant, preventing the bowel contents from hardening, and in this way facilitating normal movements.
