KATHARINE HOUGHTON HEPTON.
During the past bundred years
there has been a complete revolu-
tion in industrial and social comdi-
tions. :
In consequence of this; the pesition
of women™ and their conditions of
werk have undergone a chango moth-
ing short of revolutiomary.
A hundred years s&go women in
_ their own homes; spun ‘the clothes
for the family, cured the meat, pre-
served and canned the fruits and
vegtables, baked the bread, made the
butter, made the soap ‘and can
dles, nad chargetof ‘the entire educa-
tion of girls andjthe early education
of boys, andj took 'care‘of all the
sick. Women then could jprotect their
children from evil Winfluences, their
daughters from umhealthy and de-
moralizingiconditions and their homes
from infections clothing and impure
Today industrial conditions have
completely changed. The cloth is
now spunZnot in theiliome but in the
factory. The clothesjare not made in
the home ' but ‘in? fhe sweat shop.
The meat is curedfinot in the home
but ‘by the beef trust. The fruits
and ve are-canned not in the
home but in the factory. The bread
not in theJhome but in the.
op. Thefbmbter is made not
"in the. home fjbut in the creamery.
The soap, candles, ete. are not made
in the home but im the factory. The
girls and boys are -educated not in
‘the home but in the public school.
The sick are cared for not in the
home but in the hospital. :
As women’s work has gone out of
ithe home into the factory many wom-
en have been §forced to follow their
work into the factory. and there ‘are
today nearly eight million women in
-the United States working outside
ithe home. The hours of labor of
;these women and their conditions of
work, both fmoral and sanitary, de-
spend upon the laws, and yet the
women have no voiee:in the making
.or enforcing of the laws.
The women who are left in the
‘home are trying to bring up their
.children and to keep their homes
free from §evil inflnemces, both phy-
wsieal and moral. Under present day
conditions, the homemakers are di-
reetly dependent upon the outside
world for®all the things which are
meeessaryifor the very life of their
families, band yet women have no
wvaige in the making or enforcing of
the lawsffwhich regulate the condi-
tions underfwhich these things are
produced.
Women in their work as home-
makers and mothers are even more
intimatelyfitouched by the influences
which reach their childrem from the
outsidejworld. The play grounds, the
school, the saloon,public amusement,
etc., all influence their powers to
make their homes what they should
be, andlyet women have no voice in
making the laws which for good or
for evilfiso witally affect their work.
A hundred years ago the govern-
§.t of this country was primarily
concerned ' with establishing its in-
dependence from other nations.
Today the government of this coun-
try is primarily concerned with social
and industrial problems which vitally
affect the lives of women and child-
ren.
History proves that governments
pay attention to the demands of the
people who keep them in power and
not to the demands of a disfranchised
class.
For'jthis reason Votes for Women
is a®natural and necessary result of
present’day conditions.
Women need Votes now in order
to do the

kind that has ever been proposed im
Pennsylvania,” said State Zoologist!
H. A. Surface who is also a practical
farmer and owchardist. !
. This bill as amended provides that
a person cam hunt on hisown premises
without a license and also on adjoim-
ing premises with the written consent
of the owner. He can post his land
and keep mway such persons as. he
does not wish to trespass there, or by
obtaining ‘written consent gumuers
can humtmpon his premises during
the open ‘season. ‘The gunmer ds re-
quired fe wear upon his arm.a tag
containing a number whieh .corres-
ponds with his license number kept

mission. He must alse earry his

and show this the land owmer when
requested. Persons hunting upon
posted .ground and refusing to show
the lieense giving the name and ad-
dress are subject to arrest immediate-
ly without a warrant Boys under
sixteen years of age can be licensed
oniy by the written consemt of their
The many- valuable protective fea-
tares-of this bill justify the immediate
support of every farmer in securing
{ts passage. It provides fior the pro-|
tection of life and property in the
country in a manner that has never
befose been provided. The responsi-
ble gunner will be given a chance,
and for him game will become more
abundant, but the list of horrible ac-
cidenits through the unrestrained care-
lessmess of boys will be greatly re-
This is plainly a bill for respectable
hunters and land owners, and may
not yet become a law, wmless those
persons in whose interests:it is drawn
should awaken to a realization of its
importance, and let their Senators
and Representatives know that they
desire its passage.

HAVE A HEALTHY SKiv.
WONRERFUL DISCOVERY THAL QUICK-
LY CLEARS THF SKIN.
Dorit envy evéry good eomplexion
you see, and wish for something that
wouldgive to your skin the flush and
beauty of youth, but go $oday and
secure:a jar of Hokara, the cream
that agts with nature in cestoring
skins to their normal health and
beauty.
Hokara is entirely different from or-
dinary preparations, as it «contains
no grease, lead or mercury, is anti-
ceptic and healing, and possesses cur-
ative properties that exert a remark-
able and quick action on any form of
skin blemish or trouble, ne matter
how severe.
A good way to test Hokara is to
wash the face or hands thoroughly,
then apply a little Hokara to the
face or hands and rub until it rolls
out. The amouut of dead black skin
and dirt that comes out wil make
you think your skin'was never
clean before. ;
People who have had skin troubles
for thirty years have found almost
instant relief and complete cure in
Hokara.

Purghased Spices.
Today we are to consider the first
of these appearances. From a care-
ful reading of this amd the parallel
accounts it is evident that as soon as
the Sabbath day had closed and the
shops were opened these friends of
Jesus purchased spices that early the
next morning they might annoint his
dead body. Matthew 28:1 R. V. would |
indicate a possible earlier visit on
Saturday, the Jewish Sabbath.
I. “In the morwming of the first day |
of the week.” ww. 18. Starting while
it was yet dark (John 20:1) these
faithful friends ‘hurried on their way
to the tomb. T was Mary Magdalene
who first reached the tomb, Matt.
28:1, John 20:1, she who had received
much (Luke 8:2) loved much. Nor
was it the Virgin Mary that had .the
privilege of first beholding him (v. 9).
Tt was the love of these women (v. 1)
that brought them to the tomb of him,
“which should ‘have redeemed Israel”
(Luke 24:21). ‘That all the followers
were shaken in (faith the records clear
ly suggest, yet love remained, hence
this desire fo :annoint his body. This
service though unnecessary (Matt.
16:21, 20:19) was, however, rewarded
by the revelation of the angelic mes-
sengers.
Serious Question Raised.
Pursuing their way a very serious
question was raised (v. 3), but God
had already removed the difficulty (v. |
4), so, too, 3 we will but be “looking
up” (v. 4 BR. V.), God will give us all
necessary ‘knowledge, (Jas. 1:5), and
will enable us to overcome all difficul-
ties. The empty tomb is the standing:
rebulse for all skeptics. » If he be not’
risen let his «enemies tell us where’
and what beeaine cof his body. The’
true basis of (Christianity is in the:
risen Christ, see I Cor. 15:1-18.
Had the friends pondered well the!
words of Christ they would not have'
wasted their time and money seeking
to annoint a dead body. That was the
reason why they @id not know and
that is why we &o not know many
things we ought to know about our
Lord. It is noticeable that none of
the mem were at the tomb.
Entering the tomb they found, not
his body, but a young man, and later’
two in @azzling apparel (Luke 23:4)
stocd beside them. When Mary re-
turned from the city, having told the
news, the two angels were sitting one
‘at the head and one at the feet of
where the body had laim. John notes
that the disciples found the napkin
which had bound his head lying fold-
ed in its original folds im 2 place by
itself (John 20:7).
In the midst of all their perplexity
as to what had become of the body of
him whom they loved they failed to
recall his words (Luke '9:22) and
hence could offer no solution of the
difficulty. But the God of merey sup-
plied their need (Phil. 4:19) and
hence the glad triumphant message
of the angel, “He is risen; he is not
here; behold ‘the place where they
(enemies and friends) laid him,” v. 6.
Cf. Matt. 28:6. Then, as though to
make their knowledge of service to
others, he commands them to go and
tell the disciples “and Peter” and that
they are no more to look for him
there for “He goeth before you into
Galilee,” v. 7.
II. “And they went out quickiy,”
vv. 811. It is well to reverence holy
places and to remember sacred asso-
ciations, but God is a spirit and can-
not be localized. Of course the
women would like to dwell at that
place in meditation, but having had
revealed to them the fact, their duty
was to publish it abroad. A definite
knowledge imposes a definite obliga-
tion of testimony. .
Out of death came forth life. The
seeming defeat of Jesus was the
prelude to the world's greatest vie
tory—its most astounding miracle.
Living unto self means claiming your-
self for yourself. Living “unto him”
means that in your mind your spirit,
your body, you show forth the risen,
