LUTON, .1 N LANOnFOHD RIGHT TO FULL PARTNERSHIP Writer Combats Idea That Warn** Should Bo Looked Upon as Nat ural Dependent*. A »Oman's pocket book, even tbougfc . she b»lcngs to the wealthiest fats- | ilies. has Its distinctive limitation. ! This fact wag brought out in connec tion with “self sacrifice" day for the ! benefit of the National Suffrage asso- j elation Women who work for a liv ing and who are economically inde pendent give more generously than do men. Women of wealth and leis j ure, on the other hand, from whom naturally most help would be expect- j \ ed. often have little money they can j call their own with which to help the causes that appeal to them. Wbat- j ever may be add of the unmarried i daughter who Is treated as a depend- j ent in her father’s bouse. It Is a great ; Injustice when a married woman Is not looked upon as a full partner j with her husband in all the business of life, but is compelled to occupy the place of a dependent asking favors of her husband. The wife who rears ' a family of children and who either performs or directs the work of the j household ought to be looked upon as a full partner with her husband In everything he does, and be spared the humiliation of being made to feel she is dependent upon him for gifts, sometimes grudgingly bestowed. There* are some husbands, possibly an in creasing number, who share their In comes with their wives, or who eon- : aider that all their possessions are held Jointly, but there are many men still under the spell of the day when, j in the eyes of the law. woman was looked u[>on more as a chattel than a j human being—I-eslie’s. “MARK” FOR THE BOOK AGENT! Mr. Gloom of the Town of Sni/flea Ba> wails Hla Inability to Fight Him Off. “Some writer once said, ‘A wise man learns something every time a fool t blunders.' ” grumbled J. Fuller Gloom 1 of Sniffles, Mo. "If there fs any truth j to the statement why don’t I quit buck ing the other fellows’ games as fast as they come to me? There don’t need ! to be any new and enticing variations —I go right up against the same old j j tottering tricks again and again. I "I am now the proud possessor of : numerous ornate lives of the great poets, a fire foot shelf of ponderous piffle, a gilt-top: rd net of Mi.; Sigour ney’s woetul poems, all the secrets of the court of Queen What’s-Her-Name,! the douce knows how many Dick enses and cyclopedias, till the world i seems flat with them: and yet, just as j sure, as I am a foot high, a few days j after it is issued 1 shall be the owner i in fee simple of the next work put on the market. "What in the hangnation is the mat ter with me, anyhow? Is it possible^ that I am not the wise and sensible ! person I have been flattering myself I j am. but instead merely one of the fools ; from whom wise men gather wisdom?’* ! i Good News for Fat Folk. Fat folk, take heart. Would you re duce your overample girth lines and return to your former sylphlike selves? It's ea«y—likewise pleasant. • AH you need is moral courage and a— bunch of celery. Sounds reasonable, ! eb? This was the cheering informs-! tion which seeped into various show '• shops and lobsterias today, and j caused no end of happiness to some ■ of those who are getting to the point! where increasing avoirdupois is great-' lv endangering their several chances j for artistic or financial success. Half j a dozen front row girls and several stars have reduced from the heavy-! weight to the bantam weight class lately. "How did you do it?" is the j question asked. And the reply is “cel- ■ ery." Celery for breakfast, celery for I ! inch, and celery and a glass of w a ter for dinner. "If you follow this! diet for a month you can take off 25 ' pounds,” said a Broadway favorite. H is b lieved that a large number will; go to the "moral courage anil celery” j cure with a rare relish during Lent. < The Friends You Are Fondest Of. The friends you are fondest of are always the kind that rarely call you up or go out of their way to see you i or be in. your company. They love you when they are with you. but you I have to do all the goiug and coming, i When you reproach them with not tele- | phoning you or letting you know they ' have come in town they “have been j so husy!'' Did you ever know it to 1 fail ? And the ones you like fairly well j but are not enthusiastic about ring you up and ask you to dinner, and send you tickets, and try to borrow money from you. and act just the way you i would prefer your dearest friends to ; do! James Montgomery Flagg in the American Magazine. I Value cf a Quart of Milk. When you sell a quart of milk for seven cents >ou are giving more food j for the money than the buyer can get in most other forms. It is twice as J cheap as mutton or fresh fish, six ! times as cheap as dried beef, nearly i three tittles as cheap as beef chuck. | to per cent cheaper than pork loin, i three times as cheap as beef sirloin, I nearly three times as cheap as eags The staples that cost less in proyor- j tion to feed value than mill; are su< 'a I things as imtatoes, rice dues, corn j meal, prunes. che< e. wheat bread and • beans The above figures will hold j good in the average interior region® j of the nation.—Farm and Fit aside, i MAKE MONEY FROM SEAWEED MlWtmli if ths Island #f Guernsey Mava “^arinar Regularly AIM ted to Thom. The strangest ‘Taras" are the sea tmed farms of the island of Guernsey. Held In common hy nil the farmers of the neighborhood, n "farmers' toun eil" allots to eaeh man making appli cation a strip of tiie seashore, and all the seaweed that Is cast up within these limits belongs to him. Great bowiders mark the boundaries of the farms, which are from 200 to <00 yards of shore, and if any man gathers seaweed from any other man's farm or moves the bowlder* to extend his boundaries the council takes his fartn away from him apd fines him be sides. The seaweed harvest is at its height during the months of July and August, and all that a man need pos seas to gather It la a two-wheeled cart and one of the sturdy Guernsey pontes, a couple of long-handled pitch forks and a rake The seaweed or “varech.’' as the Guernsey people call it. is used as fer tilizer on the inland farms, or is sold to manufacturing chemists, who ex tract iodine from It. In the old days, but not now. the great Guernsey "harvest home." which was held usually in May. at the con clusion of the winter season, was the chief festival of that quaint island. The last toad was piled upon the carts, and the men and women in holiday dress marched at the head of theii carts with their ponies gavly bedecked, singing old sea songs and dancing to the sound of the women’s tambourines From village to village they went until darkness came, and then a huge bon fire was lighted on the seashore and the “varech’’ season was officially de dared at an end. NICKNAME STUCK TO SENATOR Frontiersman Responsible for Sobri quet by Which Missouri States man Was Always Known. Senator Barton, one of the two first Missouri senators, was known as ‘'Lit tle Red.” He got the name when he delivered a speech which made htli famous throughout the country. The senate chamber was crowded Barton had taken side against the Jackson policies. His arraignment and condemnation of the administra tion for years ranked as one of the greatest speeches ever heard in the senate. The audience became intense lv excited. At the close, while pco pie were crowding out of the gallery, there came a mighty shout: “Hurrah for the little red!” This was repeated again and again in the corridors of the capitol by the Missouri frontiersman who had been a listener. When the man became calm enough to explain he said the original ‘‘little red" was a game rooster he owned which could whip any fighting cock matched against him. When he heard Senator Bar ton "putting his licks" in the Jackson i crowd and "bringing them down every flutter” he couldn’t help thinking of the victories of his little red The newspapers took up the story and! Barton went by the sobriquet oi j “Little Red.” Even Crabs Have Instinct. Everyone has heard of the homing; Instinct of birds and of insects, but it is rather a surprise to be told that animals as low in the scale of nature as crabs have a similar instinct The.j experiment has been tried Jn England I of capturing crabs, marking them lot j identification, and releasing them long! distances from their homes The j most interesting example was that oi ; a male and female captured together I in a trap and carefully marked, and: then taken long distances away into another county and released at differ ent places far apart from each other I*ater the two were caught together again in a trap in their original home showing that they had not only re turned to their home, but had found each other and had again mated The homhig instinct had enabled them to j go from the county of Lincolnshire back to their original htmie in York shire. Indoor Gardens. Rooms without growing plants are; never really perfectly satisfactory in j spite of the change of furniture from | one place to another, its readjustment with fresh color froqi time to time There must always be moments when; the inanimate room bores or stifles; one. hut never a time when a plant lifting up its branches for ihe bios-' soming time will not win your re sponse, your desire to aid it, your Joy In its triumph Indeed, a very cold, bare and plain I room can be made cosy and inviting by the introduction of a few blossom ing plants. In the sunraer time they connect you with tho garden, in the winter they shut you away from chill and frost, with color and fragrance they welcome your friends.—The Craftsman. ’ i Use New Words. The words we use every day make' up our vocabulary, aud it is a very good thing that our vocabulary should be as large as we can possibly make it. The best way to accomplish that is to use as many new word* as possible as often as wo can. Then we get accustomed to them and they are pan of* our vocabulary Hut we must be sure that we understand their meaning and that we use them in the right place it ts better to choose short words rather than lous DOM. i * —THE PEOPLE’S FOOT— roar Artan or atadr W# caa call or root roar Mn, MlA did, end' needed help.
