MIX CONCRETE
St. Joseph, Mo., Oct. 16.—A small
contractor in St. Joseph has exercised
his ingenuity by acquiring a good con
crete mixer at small cost. A large
creamery was overhauling its plant,
and discarded some of the old cylindri
cal chums, large enough to hold a
medium sized man standing upright.
The contractor secured one, mounted
it on a frame with a small gasoline en
gine, and “churns” his concrete now.
The churn is built of heavy wood, well
reinforced, for as much strength is re
quired for churning butter when it ac
quires its semi-solid form as is needed
for mixing concrete.
TOBACCO PLUG SAVES HIM.
Lynn, Mass., Oct. 16.—Tobacco saved
William Hoffman of West Lynn, from
being bitten by a savage dog. It also
caused indirectly the death of the dog.
The dog attacked Mr. Hoffman in Sum
mer street. In Mr. Hoffman’s hip pocket
was a piece of tobacco, dark and moist.
The dog buried its teeth in this and
bit out a piece and started to chew
vigorously.
The chewing lasted a few seconds.
Then the animal started for the Saugus
river without regard for speed laws.
Pedestrians sprang from the sidewalk
and jumped over fences as it raced past.
Some one sent word to Dr. William H.
Ximines. the Lynn dog officer, that a
mad dog with black froth at the mouth
was abroad. The officer hurried to
the scene and killed the deg.
SAN ANTONIO LIGHT AND GAZETTE
Mrs. Clarence Mackey Says i
is to Promote Welfare of
Women of the Nation.
STANDS FOR CIVIL EQUALITY
Thinks it Wrong That One Half
of the Population of Coun-
try is Disfranchised.
Aneclatad Press.
New York, Oet. 15.—Mrs. Clarence
t H. Mackey, having been asked to define
the purpose and the position of the
equal franchise society of which she is
the president, has given out the fol
lowing statement for.publication:
“The purpose of the equal franchise
society is to promote the welfare of
women by securing the national, state
and local electoral franchise for wom
en, because the equal franchise society
believes in the political and eivie equal
ity of men and women. The electorate
should represent the whole nation, and
a system of government under whieb
one half of the nation is disfranchised
is not a truly representative national
system.
“We arc inviting the people to be
come members of our society in order
to contribute to the advancement of
public education by the promotion of
our cause. We feel that in order to se
cure the enfranchisement of women it
is not necessary for us to imitate meth
ods which are being used in other coun
tries. American manhood has always
treated American womanhood in such
a way as to make us feel that we shall
ultimately achieve our aim without sen
sationalism. I will not endorse the mili
tant methods.
Unity Is Needed.
“It hns been repeatedly said to me
by men in public and men in private
life, that when the women of the Unit
ed States united in demanding the vote,
they will get it, and 1 think that it is
perfectly true, and that therefore, what
is needed to further the suffrage cause
is to give al sorts and kinds of women
the opportunity of listening to speak
ers who will explain just what the suf
frage will mean to us all.
“Most of the men I have met are ap
parently willing to co-operate with us
and have listened to what we have said
with courtesy and consideration. It has
not seemed necessary in the past, and
I do not think it will be necessary in
the future, for us to go out to the street
corners and shriek our propaganda at
the passer-by. We have but to plead
our cause without raising our voice to
those mfn and women who are noFwith
us. We can always assume that they
are not wilfully ignorant of what wom
en suffrage should mean. We want them
to appreciate the fact that throughout
this country the strongest suffragists
arc those women who devote their best
energies towards the developing of
their children in order to make them
citizens.
“We do not think as an organization
we have a right to demand an expres
sion of opinion from their candidates
in this coming election. We prefer to
leave politics alone until our sex is
sharing the responsibility with the oth
er sex. I feel that the main reason for
suffrage is a community of interest be
tween the sexes. It is not in any sense
a fight for rights, but the logical evolu
tion of justice.
Course of Lectures.
“The equal franchise society wishes
to establish a platform upon which
such speakers as Bishop McVicor of!
Rhode Island, Mr. Everett Colby and
perhaps Mr. Martin W. Littleton, will j
express their belief in suffrage and for
that reason we have leased the Garden
theater and arranged our course.
“We wish to enlist that part of the
community regardless of sex or creed,!
who will co-operate with us because
of their loyalty to their country.
“Among the most recent additions to
our membership are such women as
Mrs. Wm. Schifflin, Mrs. Milton Barber,
Mrs. Rudolph Schirmer, Mrs. Archibald
Alexander, Mrs. Everett Colby, Mrs.
Richard Stevens, Mrs. Waller Maynard,
Miss Spence, Mrs. Paul Morton, Miss
Elizabeth Burcbenal, Miss Dorothy
Whitney ana many others can be seen
in our lists.”
A JOYFUL PASTIME
It’s Really a Pleasure to Cure Catarrh
by Breathing Hyomei.
It isn’t a pleasure to saturate your
stomach with vile nostrums or to shock
the tender membrane of the nose and
throat with disagreeable sprays and
douches.
But, strange to say, there are a
few thousand people who do not keep
abreast of the times who are hoping
against hope that these ancient meth
ods will rid them of catarrh.
If the readers of the Light and Ga
zette who suffer from catarrh want to
banish this vile and disgusting disease
forever go to the Bexar Drug Co. today
and get a complete Hyomei (pronounced
High o-me) outfit for $1.00.
If it doesn’t cure it won’t cost you
a cent, because the Bexar Drug Co. will
give you your money back.
Hyomei is so simple and pleasant to
use; pour a few drops from the bottle
into the inhaler and breathe it in. As
it passes over the membrane and into
the lungs with the air you breathe it
soothes the raw membrane and kills
the catarrh germs. Don’t experiment
longer. Leading druggists everywhere
sell Hyomei for catarrh, coughs, colds,
bronchitis, etc. Drop a postal for our

About the applos red;
To blithely croon of harvest mooB
Resplendent overhead.
We ought to bleat of golden wheat;
The time is here, I say,
For every bard to print a yard
Of russet roundelay.
We ought to pipe of pumpkins ripe,
Of trees in crimson dress,
’Tis getting time for autumn rhyme
To go to cider press.

Must toil without a stop,
Stick to its groove and try to move
