NOTE OF. PATRIOTISM TO DOMINATE STATE SUFFRAGE CONFERENCE Stern Work of War Will Replace, but Only Temporarily, the Camp'aign for Woman'B Enfranchisement In the Moment's Modes T11K stern work of war and the solemn, patriotic part the women of Pennsyl vania shall porform will be tho major theme discussed April 18 and 19 when suffragists from every quarter of tho Stato gather at HarrlsburB for their annual spring con ference. "Wo will perform 'our part, whatever It may be decided our part shall be," declared Mls Helen C. Clark, nocrctnry of tho Penn sylvania Woman Suffrage Organization. "We say this," Miss Clark added, "not becauso wo are one whit less Interested In our political emancipation than previously or because we havo any Intention of lessen ing the lgor of our struggle, -'Kugland needed a great war before she realized to tho granting point tho necessity and Justice of equality for women. Itussla needed a revolution before that bound coun try broke Its fetters and advanced to tho same point. Our country has experienced both ric volution against oppressors and wars, hut litis not yet reached tho point of en franchising as a wholo Its women, as hao foreign countries. But bo this as It may, we. tho women of tho country, know that political freedom Is on the tapis of time and eventually will be nccorded us. "It Is because of this knowledge that we at this tlnie, although urging our enfran chisement as soon as possible, await not that actuality before enlisting In national patriotic work. Therefore, while still urg ing, wq preparo for the greatest need of our oountry patriotic service. And It Is for this reason that at our spring confer ence this national service will be the domi nant theme." . Although the State and Federal amend- monts will be discussed by local and na tional ofllclals, the patrlotlo note overshad ows nil on the conference program. The first note will be sounded at the afternoon session of the first day, when, after busi ness has been transacted at the morning session, Mrs. Henry Wade Ilogers, treas urer of the National American Woman Suf frago Association, will deliver an address upon "Constructive National Service." Mrs. Rogers's address will be followed by a dis cussion of plans for tho annual summer campaign. Tho summer wark this year.

Gown for Luncheon To tht Editor of IVomon's ragti Dear Madam I hae been Invited to a formal luncheon and would like to know how I should dress for such an occasion? HELEN, A tailored suit with dressy waist may be worn and the coat retrieved for the luncheon, but a one-piece frock of some soft material such as crepe do chine or georgette crepe. Is prettier. A rather dressy hat Is also worn to a luncheon and white gloves: The coat and gloves are removed before descending to the drawing room.

The practice of eating food as hot ns It can be swal lowed, nnd especially of taking hot drinks at meals. Is unquestionably u ery acthe cause of constipation. Heat, whether taken Into tho stomnch by food or drink, or ap plied externally, has the effect of weaken ing these mqvementB. It does this by ex citing the sympathetic nerves which hinder the movements of the stomach or Intestine. If the food Is held In the mouth for a suf ficient length of time to permit thorough mastication and the proper admixture of saliva no harm will result from serving It hot when necessary, as It will be cooled In the mouth to body temperature before swal lowing.

The Centipede Is the bite of the centipede poisonous? R T. JOHNSON. The house centipede known In this coun try Is moro or less poisonous, but fortu nately Its bite Is never fatal. Although possessed of a most voracious carnivorous appetite, tho centipede probably never at tacks human beings unless brought Into Im mediate contact with the body and obliged to defend Itself. The centipede feeds on houBcfllea, cockroaches and bedbugs, and so is somewhat useful as a destroyer of house hold pests. It lives In bathrooms, moist closets, collars and pantries where roaches and flies are likely to bo found. The bite of the centipede Is generally relieved by the prompt application of am monia.

At the first symptom of a cold the bowel3 should be cleansed by enemas If necessary, and then three dally bowel movements obtained by the free use of bran at each meal and paraffin oil. Drink an abundance of water, and adopt a fruit diet for a day or two. If tho disease has already existed for a day or two It Is not likely that any method or treatment will bring about a speedy cure.
