Such troubles should have immediate '
treatment with the strengthening powers
of Scott's limultion to guard against
consumption which so easily follows. I
Scott's Kmulsion contains pure cod liver I
oil which peculiarly strengthens the res- .
piratory tract and improves the quality oi
the hlocxl; the glycerine in it soothes and
heals the tender membranes of the throat.
Scott's is prescribed by the best special
ists. You cm get it at any drug store.

Hon. Elihu Root
On Woman's Sphere
The question of Woman Suffrage is an Issue before
the American people. Twelve states have adopted It,
four more states vote upon It this fall and It is strongly
urged that it become a platform demand of the national
political parties. It is therefore the privilege and the duty
of every voter to study carefully this subject. Hon. Elihu
Root, in discussing this question before the constitutional
convention of New York, recently said In pari:
"1 am opposed to the granting of suffrage to women,
because I believe that it would be a loss to women, to all
women and to every woman; and because I believe It
would be an injury to the state, and to every man and
every woman In the Btate. It would be useless to argue
this If the right of Biiffrnge were a natural right. If it were a natural right,
then women should have it though the heavens fall. But if there be any one
thing settled in the long discussion of this subject, it is that suffrage is not a
natural right, but is simply a means of government, and the sole question to
be discussed is whether government by the suffrage of men and women will
bo better government than by the suffrage of men alone.
"Into my Judgment, sir, there enters no element of the inferiority of
woman. It is not that woman is inferior to man, but it is that woman is
different from man; that In the distribution of powers, of capacities, of quail
ties, our Maker has created man adapted to the performance of certain func
tions In the economy of nature and society, and woman adapted to the
performance of other functions.
"Woman rules today by the sweet and noble Influences of her character.
Put woman into the arena of conflict and she abandons these great weapons
which control the world, and she takes into her hands, feeble and nerveless
for strife, weapons with which she is unfamiliar nnd which she is unable to
wield. Woman In Btrife becomes hard, harsh, unlovable, repulsive; as far
removed from that gentle creature to whom we all owe allegiance and to
whom we confess submission, as the heaven is removed from the earth.
"The whole science of government is the science of protecting Ufe and
liberty and the pursuit of happiness. In the divine distribution of powers
the duty and the right of protection rests with the male. It Is so throughout
nature. It Is so with men, and I, for one, will never consent to part with
the divine right of protecting my wife, my daughter, the women whom I love,
and the women whom I respect, exercising the birthright of man, and place
that high duty In the weak and nerveless hands of those designed by OM
to be protected rather than to engage In the stern warfare of government. In
my Judgment, this whole movement arises from a false conception of the
duty and of the right of both men and women.
"he time will never come when the line of demarcation between the
functions of the two sexes will be broken down. I believe it to be false phP
losophy, I believe that It is an attempt to turn backward upon the line of
social development, and that if the step ever be taken, we go c Juries back
ward on the march towards a higher, nobler and purer civilization, which must
be found not in the confusion, but in the higher differentiation of the sexes.
