& 6 EVEN1N& LEDGER-PHILADELPHIA, TUESDAYr JULY 17, 191T ENGLISH WOMEN AND THE. SUFFRAGE GRANT HELPFUL SUGGESTIONS FORTHE HOMEMAR LA i ft- - l A ENGLISH WOMEN DO NOT WANT SUFFRAGE OUT OF GRATITUDE Resent Attitude of Those Who Believe They Have Worked for Their Country Looking Toward , This End Only Why the Anonymous Letter? v'TATHER a new note is sounded by v Mrs. Henry Fawcett, president of the National Union of Women's Suffrage So fties In England, apropos of the over Whelming majority In favor of the suf frage bill In the House of Commons. Mrs, Fawcett emphasizes the fact that It Is not the attitude women have taken In the war. She explains the change In the policy of English statesmen by saying: "It is not that women have done good work in Industry, because that Is not new. But It Is because they have shown the capacity to shoulder effectively their share of the national burden during the war "Suffragists rather generally resent the attitude of those who would give the vote out of gratitude for the work women have done during the war. "Women have not worked with aYi idea of getting some thing for themselves, but they have been animated by the sense of love of country and loyal service to country. Women want neither gratitude nor thanks, be cause they feel that the cause Is theirs as much as the men's." REPRESENTATIVES of the eight lead ing colleges of this country voiced this Opinion In the splendid message they cent to the President which makes the clamorlngs of those misguided women Who still want an enforced peace sink Into obscurity. In part tho message read: "Although We, believe that the settlement of Inter national difficulties by a war Is funda mentally wrong, we recognize that In a world crisis such as this It may become our highest duty to defend by forco the ' principles upon which Christian civiliza tion Is founded. "Any service which we can render, and (so far as we can speak for them) any service which the thousands of trained women we have sent out from our col leges can render, we hereby place at the disposal of our country."

I suppose most of us have felt at some time or other that we really would love to write anonymously to some one whom we can't reach in any other way. but most of us, fortunately, think better of It. There Is the malicious letter writer, the person who writes long letters of abuse and the perfectly harmless one who gives of himself without any expectation of return. This Is always perfectly inex plicable to me. But whatever the cause It is rather a cowardly thing to do and is always un canny. Newspapers receive rather more than their share of these epistles. Thera Is one correspondent who writes to me every few weeks. The postmark Is always the same, the handwriting unmistakably the same, but the signature almost always different. Another always bears the same signature and Is always harping on the same subject, giving the letters a decided personal note, without any apparent knowledge of the person to whom she is addressing herself.

Friendship Links Green Socks To the Editor of Woman's Paae . Dear Madam Will you kindly tell me whether friendship links are still In the mode! (2) Also, if a green poplin bathing suit Is worn shall white stockings or green silk socks be worn? C. K. M. These articles of Jewelry are still worn by some young girls. It Is considered bad form by persons of refinement to wear any thing that makes one unusually conspicu ous; either white stockings or green socks for bathing will make the wearer con spicuous. If you really want to look well wear black silk stockings; these are more generally becoming, and certainly in better taste.

The license Is Issued by the clerks of cities and towns and the assessors of town ships.

One day I got acquainted with ber and afterward talked to her often, and soon found nut that she liked me also. I would like you to tell me how to let her know that I want to go with her. I would not like to tell her myself, so am asking your advice. ALBERT P. If you mean by wanting to "go with" the young girl that you want to be engaged to be married to her. the only way I can sug gest Is to propose to her. But If you merely mean that you want the friendship to de velop, this must come with time. Begin by asking the girl If you may call upon her some evening; after that you can suggest taking her out to the theatre or some other affair, and gradually. If your feelings are reciprocated, you will find that you are spending much time together Try to over, come your extreme shyness.

JOHN HARVEY KELLOGG HEHD Is something for people to remem ber who cannot set away from their work this summer. One of the most bene ficial of all exercises, as everybody knows, Is climbing hills and mountains. Now and here Is the point of the story the best thing about this kind of exercise Is that you can take It without a mountain Even If you live surrounded on nil sides by a prairie you can get all the beneficial ef fects of mountain climbing by calling your back stairway Into service. If you do not suffer from serious disease of the heart or any other difficulty which forbids vigorous exercise, this Is a very ex cellent means of obtaining a large amount of exercise In a short time. Suppose, for example, the height of your stairway be twelve feet and the run sixteen feet The labor of going up and down the stairs twenty-six times will be equivalent to walking one mile The calculation Is a simple one The height of the stairs, twelve feet. Is multiplied by thirteen to find the equivalent distance to be traveled on the horizontal, for the energy required to lift the body vertically Is Just thirteen times that re quired to walk on a level. Thirteen multiplied by twelve Is 156 To this Is added the run of tho stairway; that Is. the horizontal distance traveled In as cending the stairs probably about sixteen feet. To this must be added further the horizontal distance traveled In coming down tho stairs, and this must be doubled, mak ing thirty-two feet because of the energy expended In holding the body back In descending the stairs. The total of the three Items Is 204 feet the distance one must walk on the horizontal In order to expend the same amount of energy as Is required to ascend a stlrway twelve feet high There are 5280 feet tn a mile. Dividing by 204 we havo twenty-six That Is, to do work equivalent to walking a mile on a level, such a stairway must be ascended and descended twenty-six times. Gastric Juico Of whst Is gastric Juice made? M. J. F. It consists of two things chiefly. There aro some other thlngi In It, but the essential and Important things are hydrochloric acid and pepsin Headache Not Due to Too Much Uric Acid Is there any temporary relief for headsche caused by too mutn uric acid? SUSAN. Yes, apply a hot fomentation and drink a quart of hot water But It Is not uric acid that makes the headache It Is toxinen. Uric acid Is a comparatively Innocent thing, but when uric acid Is present other poisons are also almost certain to bo present. The presence of urlo acid is an Indicator of the presence of worse poisons. Headache poi sons are mostly produced In the colon. Persons who are subject to headache are always constipated and generally have coated tongues and bad breath. The bowels may move dally, but are days In arrears. The bowels should move three times a day. Get the tongue clean,-and the headache will disappear. Take a tablespoonful of cooked bran at every meal Function of the Pancreas What Is the function of the pancreas? O. I,. D. The pancreas produces pancreatic Juice and a ferment which burns up sugar In the body. When the pancreas becomes dis eased, the ability to use sugar Is lost and diabetes makes Its appearance. Proper to Take Nap Before Meals Is It proper for one to take a nap Just before meals? l, r. Yes; before eating Is a good time to sleep, but not Immediately after eating. Exercise for Person Pnst Middle Life To what extent Is exercise valuable for a person past middle life? M. M. 8. Such a person needs to exercise more than a young person does, but he has not the same capacity or ability for exercise. He must take much exercise, but not violent exercise. Walking Is good. Five to ton miles a day Is the right amount for a se dentary person. (Copyright ) Women in Bloomers Work for Railroad SUNBURY.

This type of costume usually appears in early spring, to be supplanted later by the out-and-out summer dress. Of course, the strictly tailored suit is always with us, but it is in spring time when it blossoms in profusion. This spring it found a rival in tho scmitailored costume of sports silk, and it has had to wait tmtil mid summer for its day of vogue. The tailored suit of today's sketch is of navy Poiret twill. A white satin collar and bone buttons add to its trimness. The button shoes, by the way, are considered quite smart. Some of the fashion folk express the belief that this type of shoe will be the "leader" among fall and winter footwear styles.

American women will not hesitate to give up their lives, as did the women In England, according to Miss Lucy Burns, a member of the executive committee of the National Woman's Party Miss Burns has spent three days In Jail for her activities In the siege of the White House, and on the eve of the Impressive demonstration held In Washington July 14, Bastlle Day, she uttered her "defiance of the injustice of the Government even unto death " . "Whatever happens," said Miss Burns, "we shall continue our demonstrations Women In England met death In their struggle We see no reason to fear any fate We do not like Jail, but we are not afraid of It "We have no notlo" of pausing In our claims We shall proceed from day to day and possibly our" claims will be more and more felt The powers In Washington have stooped to Illegal methods while we are keeping strictly within the law. The Judge who sentenced us to Jail Js himself for suffrage He himself advised us before our demonstration that If we kept on walk ing with our banners we would be doing nothing Illegal 'This Judge hung his head when he pro nounced sentence He had pleaded ear nestly for our promlie not to picket any more We positively felt sorry for him, but the campaign for suffrage can't stop from sympathy for one man. "When we got to Jail we found that they had made ready for us even before we were tried Some of the prisoners there said, 'We expected you yesterday They said thirteen of you were coming and cleaned out the cells ' It's true that they had made ready; they had purchased brand-new bed ding, new clean sheets Just from the store. But the authorities decided among thm selvea that we should go there before we were tried What do they call It some times there is a word railroading?

July 17 Housekeepers can easily can surplus peas and snap beans, which arc beginning to appear In home gardens In many sections The season has been unusually good for peas and home gardeners In many localities are reporting Unexpectedly heavy yields. Either of these products readily can be canned with no other homo equipment than Jars or cans and a washboller fitted with a false bottom of slats to keep tho Jars from resting on the bottom. Here nre directions given by the United States Department of Agriculture to the members of girls' canning clubs In tho northern and western States: Do not try to can peas or beans that hae been long oft the vines the fresher tho vegetables aro the better tho product Shell peas. In case of beans string and cut them ns If for cooking Put the prepared vegetables In a cheese cloth bag or colander and blanch In Hie steam from boiling water for from five to ten minutes. Next dip the blanched product quickly In cold water and remove It almost Immedi ately. Pack the product Immediately Into hot, scalded glass Jars or tin cans. Fill the containers completely with boil ing hot water-to which has been added one level teaspoonful of salt per quart Place rubber rings on Jars and screw tops almost, but not completely, tight.

If other canning outflts are used sterilize as follows : , Minutes Watr eeal. 214 degrees ISO FUe pound steam pressure 0 Ten to fifteen pounds steam pressure 40 Wax and string beans, as well as young, tender peas, may be sterilized In 120 minutes. Remove Jars from boiler or sterilizer, tighten covers, Invert to cool and test the Joints for leakage. Examine cans .for leaks. Even the slightest leak If not closed com pletely at once means that tho product In all probability will not keep. Do not place glass Jars, to cool In a draft which Is liable to cause them to crack. Wrap Jars In paper to prevent blanching and store In a cool place. If peas nre roughly handled In blanching or cold dipping, or split or broken peas are not removed before packing the liquid In the Jars may have a slightly clouded appearance. If sterilizing has been prop erly done, cloudiness Is no ovldence that the product has spoiled.
