6 WHAT ARE WOMEN'S PRIVILEGES? By DOROTHY DIX ■ man writes me a "If women demand question with plcas- I have been hearing being a woman all my life, but I've never seen one or enjoyed one, and I'm dying of curi osity to know of what these legendary emoluments consist. Oh, I know that you are going to say that women and. children go first into the lifeboats when there is a wreck at sea. At least they sometimes do, for If you mention the Titanic I will counter with La Bourgogne, where the men cut off the hands of the women who caught on to the sides of the lifeboats, thereby endangering those already in. However, let's consede the life raft as scoring one for the skirts. It really doesn't matter. Few women ever go to sea at all, and disasters at sea are so very rare that the privilege of being rescued in a shipwreck doesn't cut any Ice with the vast majority of the sex. If that privilege was taken away from us entirely wo would never know it. In all sober earnestness, brothers, what ARE the privileges of being a tvoman ? Nature gives a woman none. On the contrary, she handicaps her by making woman subject to every dis- FACE AND ARK ITCHED AND BURNED Could Not Sleep. Covered with Pim ples and Blackheads. Scratching Irritated Eruption, Cuticura Soap and Ointment Cured. Clarence, Pa.—" My face and arms began to Itch and burn so that I could not deep at night. It lasted for a few days and then my face and arms were covered with pimples and later with blackheads. My face was so disfigured that I wasn't St to go out door*. The pimples looked small at flrst and then they festered qlid came to a head. They Itched and burned so that I scratched and irritated them and my clothing irri tated the eruption on my arms. I lost my rest at night for my face and arms used to itch worse through the night than in the daytime. I was troubled with pimples for three years. " I put on cold cream, and Cream and but without success. At last I tried Cuticura Soap and Ointment. I smeared my face and arms with Cuticura Ointment and washed off the Ointment in Ave minutes with Cuticura Boap and hot water. I used this treatment on retiring and rising, and after throe months I was cured." (Signed) Miss M. A. Botson, Nov. 4, 1913.

When you wish for a strong, healthy body you never wish to be a woman. In only a few States does the law give a woman the privilege of making a will and disposing of property that she may have inherited from her father or accumulated herself. In Texas and Louisiana a husband has the right to collect his wife's wages if she works outside of the home, and In only twelve or thriteen States does the law give a mother the privilege of being equal guardian with her hus band to the child she brought into the world. Certainly in the eyes of the law, it is no privilege to be a woman. Society gives a woman no privi leges. The world draws its skirts aside from, the woman who sins, and asks her partner in guilt to dinner. A man may be known to be a profligate and to have a dark and urid past, and he may marry the sweetest and purest girl in the community and be received with open arms by society, but let a woman so much as soil the hem of her petticoat, and she is pushed down into the mire. If you stumble on the straight and narrow road your petti coats are no protection to you. Business offers no privileges to the woman. It beats her down to the last cent that her poverty makes her work for, and it wrings every ounce of labor out of her that it can get. Even a philanthropist like Mr. Ford, when he comes to paying his male and female labor, discriminates against women of the sweatshops and factories, women of the sweatshops an factories, look at the worn and weary army of shop girls, look at the bent old women scrubbing out office buildings on their CENTER COUNTY WELCOMES PENROSE Senator Greeted by Big Mass Meet ing in Philipsbarg and by Crowds Elsewhere COUNTY SURE FOR SENATOR Dimmick Holds Forth in Blair County in Closing His Cam paign For Nomination Senator Penrose at Phllipsburg last night addressed the largest crowd that has turned out to hear him since he started on his tour of the State. It was made up of voters from Cen ter county and Clearfield county who enthusiastically cheered him as the Republican candidate for United States Senator. He expressed himself as highly pleased over the meeting and stated that he expected to carry Cen ter county in November by a big ma jority. Senator Penrose was accom panied by prominent Republicans who filled twelve automobiles. The party came by way of the celebrated Snow Shoe road through the mountains. The senator made three stops, at Mil lersburg, Snow Shoe and Munsons. At each town he found a crowd awaiting him. At Snow Shoe he remained for over an hour meeting voters. At 2 o'clock a committee of students from the Philipsburg high school call ed on him and invited him to address Experienced Women Advise Mother's Friend Because It la so perfectly safe to use and has been of such great help to a host of expectant mothers, these women, experienced In this most happy period, advise the use of "Uother'n Friend." Applied externally to the abdominal muscles Its purpose la to relieve tho undue tension upon the corda and liga ments resulting from muscular expansion. Beneath the surface is a network of flno nerve threads and the gentle, soothing embrocation, "Mother's Friend," Is designed to so lubricate tho muscular ilbres as to avoid the unnecessary and continuous nagging upon thla myriad of nerves. It is a reflex action. Applied to the breasts it affords tho proper massage to prevent caking. Thousands of women have reason to believe in this splendid help under tho trying ordeal of motherhood. Their letters are eloquent evidence of Its great value to women. In use for many years it has come to be a standard remedy for the purpose. There is scarcely a well-stocked drug store anywhere but what you can easily obtain a bottle of "Mother's Friend" and in nearly every town and village Is a grandma who herself used It in earlier years.

But it's in the home, my corre spondent will say, that a woman's priviliges are so great. She can stay at home, safe and sheltered, while the man goes out into the world to struggle for her support. Perhaps the \ery rich woman has more privileges than her husabnd. Perhaps Mrs. Astor Is less vexed with cares than Mr. As tor, and Mrs. Vanderbllt has a rope of pearls, while Mr. aVnderbllt only has pearls, while Mr. Vanderbllt only has lionaires most of us have as little to do as we have with the lot of the people in Mars. In the average family it's a mother's privilege to bear the children as well as work for them, to walk the colic, to sit up at night nursing the sick, to stay at home and get the balance of the family ready for their excursions, to have the shabbiest clothes, and eat the back of the chicken. That's her privilege in the home. In the ordinary family the boys are given pocket money and an al lowance. The girls are not. The boys .*° co 'lege. The girls are not. If the girls go out to work they are expected to turn over their pay en velopes to their mothers. The boys are not. The girls are expected to help in the housework. The boys are not. and when It comes to marrying, the boys have the privilege of picking out their life partners, while the girls have not. What ARE the privileges of being a woman? I pause for a reply. the students. He accompanied them to the high school where a large num ber of citizens of Philipshurg in addi tion to the boys and girls had assem bled. The senator spoke for about half an hour. His greeting was cor dial and he was applauded by the stu dents. There was a remarkable demon stration for Senator Penrose when he mounted the platform at the night at P hil 'Psburg. He was pre flr* * i >y p L a)Hain Pryberger, who re ferred to the senator's public service in leading the light in the United Senate against tariff legislation, which has proven so injurious to the industries not only of Pennsylvania, i" . the entire country. When he pre il j tor Penr ose's return by a landslide majority the crowd yelled approval. in addition to Senator Penrose, speeches were made by ex-Represen tative John Francis and C. H. Row land, Republican candidate for Con gress. Mr, Penrose declared that the people would return the Republican party to power at the first opportunity. He referred to the large attendance at the meeting as an indication that the people had returned to the wise econ omic policies of the Republican partv, and declared that at the November election Pennsylvania again would take its place at the head of the Re publican column. In discussing national issues Sena tor Penrose said: Lnder present circumstances it is reasonable to believe that the people soon will come to recognize more than ?^' er £ OV £ the farsishted wisdom of e P u bU c a.n policj' of protection and the really great value of the work Kepiiblican leaders in faithfullv maintaining this policy as they have done to the limit of their power. He publican leadership has faced intelli gent and with constant regard for the welfare of all workers in field or fac tory, the problem of the world's com petition with our producers. "Now has come the Democratic des struction of the Republican protective tariff When we are at the point of needing protection more than ever be fore the Democratic party heedlessly and recklessly throws it away and ex poses all our people to the practically unrestricted competition of both farm and factory products from the millions of foreigners who work and do effi cient work at paultry wages. Some men told peculiar theories about al leged advantages that are to come in some indirect way from the unrestrict ed admission of all foreign products into our country. Some men may ar sue that the entry of such products will not displace the products and la bor of our own people. Some such theories have had to do with the fram ing of the Democratic tariff recently imposed on us. But the hard facts control the situation and demonstrate the absurdity of that peculiar theory. The truth is that our own products and labor are being displaced now. \\ ith mills and factories closing - and curtailing in practically every branch of industry, our Democratic friends can no longer deny the fact that labor is facing a grave situation. - ' Diminick Campaign The Philadelphia Ledger says in a dispatch from Altoona: "Blair coun ty with a long record of eagerness to Jump into any party contest designed to elevate the standard of party con duct, again showed its friendliness for J. Benjamin Diminick, candidate for the Republican nomination for the United States Senate. "Perhaps in no other country of the State have the issues of the present contest within the party been so thor oughly brought to the attention of the voters, and a strong committee of sup porters met Mr. Dimmick when he stepped from the train.

POULTRystieWS MAKE GOOD BEGINNING IN LAYING CONTEST 37 Eggs More Product This Week • Than Last at Storrs, Conn. The hens at the International Egg Laying Contest at Storrs, Conn., made an auspicious beginning of the second half year. They produced 37 eggs more than last week or a total of 3,558 eggs, thus bringing the grand total to date well above 50,000 eggs. This gain at this particular time was somewhat un expected in that all the neavier breeds are becoming more and more broody and on account of the further tact that during this past week the hens were turned out into the grass runways. THE DISSATISFIED HEN | One of the great drawbacks to nat ural incubation is the breaKing of eggs by the hens. Such losses snouid be charged to the pouitryKeeper and noi to the hens, lor the fact is that while the hen knows best as to what the details of nest arrangement should be, she is often forced to accept conditions not in accord with her own way 01 do ing things. Left to her own devices, a hen will lay her eggs for hatching in a low nest on the ground, whereas, her short-sighted owner will l'orce her to sit three weeks in a box the greatest dimension of which is its height, if it is to be a store box, pick the right size. % ' IMPORTING EGGS FK6.M CHINA This Spring 'lie egg markets have been more or less disturbed by reason of imports, including considerable numbers from China. Consumers do not take any too kindly to these im ported eggs and the effect so far has been largely sentimental in character. Prices have been no lower than In other years, but dealers who generally store heavily at this time of the year are apprehensive, showing groat cau tion in their operations. liOOli AT EGGS THROUGH A KNOT HOLE In the current issued of Farm and Fireside a contributor tells, as fol lows, how he candles his eggs: "A knot hole a little over one inch in diameter in the sunny side of our barn serves as a very satisfactory egg tester for duck, geese, and hen eggs. With the doors closed and the win dows blinded the room is quite dark, and by holding the egg close to the opening when the sun is shining brightly I am able to determine, after five days of incubation, the fertile from the infertile."

TWO VERY ABLE HENS In the current issue of Farm and Fireside appears a report of the achievements of two world-beating hens attached to the Oregon poultry experiment station. One of these hens laid 291 eggs in 365 days and the other 303 eggs in 365 days. Neither one laid more than an egg a day.

Nearly every chick's body possesses several thou sand of these tiny yolks and it is pos sible to count as many as several thou sand in practically every pullet. No amount of feeding, no system of hous ing. no method of care and manage ment, however good it may be, will add one more yolk to the number al ready provided by nature. The meth od of breeding, feeding, housing and care, determines the yield. COLD WEATHER MARS HATCHES Since the first of March there has been great complaint, about the poor hatching of eggs. A delayed hard win ter has been the cause of the trouble and a delayed, wet Spring has been the cause of slow Improvement. There were many frozen combs and the vi tality of breeding stock was greatly impaired, yet. with all this, some I breeders have made the mistake of j forcing breeding pens for high egg ) records. The combination was too j much and the result has been many I very poor hatches. MME.
