"People are tiring of deaths from
preventible dise ses. They used to
think that such eaths resulted from a
special intervent n of God, and that
man was helple s to prevent them.
Now they know that someone had sin-
ned, either an individual, or a commun-
ity, or a nation. They will not stand
it any longer. Tey are crying for bet-
ter things. The 1 ght is breaking. Old
political problem are being thrown
into the scrap-he4, and people are de-
manding new leadr`ers capable of leading
them to a solution of problems that
count for more in the national welfare
and whose solutio will result in great-
er human emcierlcy."—From Dr. W.
A. Evans' Public Health Association.
Mother.
What is home without a mother?
Who so well a home can grace? Ah,
that sacred name! No other can usurp
its honored place! Mother makes the
home enchanting,\makes it happy—
when she's there, Shen she isn't galli-
vanting, doing carrpsign work some-
where. To uplift th!e land she wishes,
politics she'd purify and there's none
to wash the dishes,; none at home to
make a pie, Willie pas a broken smell-
er—he was fooling ith the cow; Lizzie
fell into the cellar aid she's screaming
down there now; little Myrtle calmly
scratches all the f rniture with; wire;
baby's playing with the matches, and
he'll set the housefire. Little sister,
little brother, raise the dickens with
their curves. Wh .t is home without a
mother? It's a pl ce to jar your nerv-
es. Mother's at s me cheap convention
wearing father's hirt and tie, arguing
her firm intention to secure a vote or
die. She must ha e a hand in making
laws that suit the emale mind, and at
home the kids a e breaking all the
dishes they can fi d. She will be no
longer brooking ty anny that's known
no change, and a home poor dad is
cooking prunelets n a smoking range.
What is home ithout a mother?
Watch the suffrag ladies hike! When
they've won thei fight, my brother,
you will know j st what it's like.—
