That valiant - hearted. indefatigable
worker in the woman's cause, the Hev,
Dr. Anna Shaw, is otico more out upon
her travels, and undergoing arduous
a campaign as any soldier In the time
of war. For she Is no longer youtiB, and
her plan of action 1 as strenuous and
exhaustive as any man could ever liopt
to undertake.
Every night, from September i till No
vember 1, she has addressed, and will
continue to address, large meetings, mid
here comes the salient point in a differ
ent town eveiy night. Tor she Is cam
paigning, through seven States; First, in
South Dakota, with all its towns; then
North Dakota. Montana, Nevada, Nebras
ka, Missouri and Ohio. In all those States
the great question of voman'i suffrage
1-. to be suhmltted to the voP t, and
sometimes Sliss Shaw speaks as often
as six thins in one da v.
On her arrival at unii town, the follow
ing anbinus prom 1111 awaited her. sMip
hud arrived in South Dakota at 10 o'clock
in thv morning, somewhat exhausted after
her four and a half day.-i' train Journey,
and was informed that she was to ad
diess the high school students ut 12
o'tloLk. to attend a large luncheon party
at 1 nVluik, to address the Women" Club

suffragist, slio is far from being a mili
tant, and, Indeed, theto Is no necessity
for militancy, for no suffrage campaigner
has ever been icfuscd an audience at
Washington.
IUning her ptesrut tour, in addition to
hei lecturing in towns, MN Shaw gives
spec, lies fiom the lent- platloiiu of the
train at the illffeiuiit rallioad stations
the train niav pause at en unite. A band
is ficiur ntly engaged to lilay at such a
stopping place, so that Miss Shaw may
have a fair steed audience Malting for
her. and although she often has only
time fru a three minutes' atldics en
thusiasm Is nlwnjs great and she gits
11 cordial welcome. In this way she fio
ipi. ntlv includes three or four minor
tow iip In a single Journey.
The vote has been granted to women
In ten dhlerent Stutes now. and it Is
boiled that this year will iucludo ninny
other States.
.Miss Shaw caine to Anieilca ftom Ting

They weie slilpn recked at ijiieeustuu 11
and had to put in to Spike Island, when
thi child wituessid a curious nud de
pr. slug sight, wbkli was ever aftf r to
InlliK nee her futun ltro and work. !os-
n and dozens of weary prisoners spent
the long day In di awing water up fiom
tho sea at on- side of tho island, then
walking across an'd emptying their buck
ets Into the sea on tho other Side of the
island. This dreadful waste of uneigy,
this purposeless soul-killing activity,
deeply impressed the little girl, and in
later years her gient Intel est in prisoners
and prison work was the outcome ot this
rnrly euisode.
In cliuraiter Ml-a Shaw is simple and
iiriiifficteil, tilth a ktiong love tor her

verv hard for hu to have to have liei
homo so often and for such lung leilods
Her love of gardening is another tie to
home life, und her present great icgiet
is that the tour she has now einbaikcd
upon will prevonl her seeing the ripening
of her fruit trees and tin benuty of the

THIS IS THE TIME TO
PLACE ALL BULB PLANTS
Better Results Can Be Had If Soil Is
Prepared.
Tulip and hyacinth, narcissus and daf-
I fodil, tho little ctocus that has such an
audacious nlr as it pops up through tho
snow to greet tho spring, now Is the time
to plant them all.
They arc all bulb plants that repay
one generoutly for tho littlo trouble in
preparing tho soil
They will grow almost every wheic, but
it goes without saying thut the llowcra
vv 111 be large and lino if the ground In
which they aro planted lias had some
special preparation.
Tho earth should bo spaded for eight
or ten Inches; It should be enriched
with a fertilizer of some kind at that
di pth, and If a little sand is placed be.
ncalh the bulb Itself, su much the bet
tor. Till i will prevent the bulbs fiom
lotting. If heavy rains should follow too
soon mi the planting.
Si inches deep und si inthes apart Is
the 111I0 for planting hyacinths.
Tulips can bo planted foul Inches deep
and four Inches apart They both need
.sunshine, but the snowdrop and the cro
cus can be scattered over the ground or
ulong hedges, or even between evergreens,
and yet come up smiling.
There aro many vniletles of bulbs, and
some of the Dutch kinds ate especially
expensive. Hut crocus and narcissus
bulbs can he bought for 10 and 15 tents a
dozen. Slnglo tulips and tin Roman
h .1. Hit li aie to bn IihiI lor C ents 11
dorn. The price of the double tulip and
the double hyacinth depends on the na
tionality of the bulb and the fame ot Its
oilgluul exploiter, but a dollar and a half
a dozen Is ,1 fair aveiage price.
Hardening is legurdul bv many people
art an expensive hobby to tide, but not
by physicians. It means sunshine and
flesh nlr and an Inteiest In tho out-of-door?.
It is really mo'o than an interest,
lor the woman who plants a garden lives
In n state of constant nnd tlullling ex
citement from the moment the llrst
shoot of green appears, through the bud
Uiig and blossoming time to the very end
of the summer.
And a woman who has once hud a gar
den will probably spend the winter con
sulting catalogues In piepitr.itlon for th
spring.
COLD STORAGE MEAT

In these days when cold storage, the
employment of preservatives in foods,
and the adulteration of food products am

Urltlsh Medical Ofliccrs of Health on the
refrigeration of food, and reported In
the Lancet, should prove of interest, says

THE NEW BASQUE GIRDLES WITH LONG SLEEVES
BEFORE TPIE SANDMAN COMES
THE CARDINAL'S BREAKFAST
AS YOU sit down to the nice brcak
f X fast of fruit and cereal, and may
be a poached ckr on toast, did
it ever occur to you lo wonder what
the birds arc eating for bicakfast at
this very minute? Of course, you
know they cat worms and grubs and
insects, but perhaps they like cereals,
too. Notice some time when you arc
walkiiiK where birds arc and see if
you can find some that cat (grains and
seed as well as worms.
The pretty little .scarlet cardinal
that makes such a gay streak as he
Hies across the garden likes seeds
very much better than giubs and
worms, and if you throw out wheal,
he will surely visit your garden. In
the seed time of the year, when every
plant in the garden has its own little
pods of seed, you need not throw out
any bait, as he is wise enough to come
there and help himself of the feast
that Nature has spread for him.
All summer long a certain cardinal
had kept his eyes on a very beautiful
garden. Some day he was sure he
would get some extra line food from
that garden. Above all, he had his
eye on the big tall sunflower way back
at the end of the yard. Early in sum
mer, this sunflower was a lovely big
blossom, so big and cheerful and sun
ny did he look that he made the
whole garden seem like one big smile.
Hut now the sunflower's big goldy
petals were all dried up and blown
away, and the soft velvety centre was
dry and hard with big fat seeds.
You would think the (lower was
prettiest when m blossom but the
cardinal wouldn't agree with you. lie
didn't care a bit about a blossom
but a dead blossom full of seeds
that's different that's about the very
best thing to eat he knows of.
(lower was young was now old and
frail and easily bent.
The bird slid olf into the air.
lit en the weight of the dainty car
dinal bent the face of the old flower
to far front that the bird slid off into
the air.
"Well, well," said the ptuzlcd car
dinal, to himself and he began plan
ning what to do.
At last he decided to get them on
the fly, so he made a quick dash,
passed the llovvcr, pecking out a seed
as he vvenl.
Without slopping to even taste it,
he dropped the seed and got another,
and then another, till several seeds
lay 011 the ground by the llovvcr.
Then he daintily alighted on the
ground and ate his fine breakfast in a
leisurely and gentlemanly fashion.

For days he watched the acnU dr
up with a soft peck he would test
them, but no they were not quite
right, and with a whisk and a song
he flew away.
But finally a morning came when
the seeds were just right and he de
cided to stay for breakfast.
Round and round the (lower he cir

child runs around a gaily lighted
