( Odds and Ends K Where tho hearth tiling becomes plained, and water will not affect the Btain, try rubbing with a flannel cloth soaked with turpentine; after this, ipolish with a dry cloth. Where plastered wails have been painted, and blackened with smoke, wash with two parts warm wrater and bno part milk, soaping as usual the 'cloth wrung out of the milky water. A'fter cleaning, rinse with clear wa ter, by sponging it off. In regard to damp walls: If a waU !bd damp and the paper is loose or tained, got a piece 61 twill sheeting .and paste well; then, stick smoothly on the wall, smoothing It down so no "blisters" will show. Let this jdry, and then paper as you. would the Avail, and tho paper will dry like icardboard. This is much better than fusing pitch, or tar paper. Mrs, ID. L.

Price $1. .1 - - VOL. 15, NO. 2 THE SUFFRAGE VOTE What seems to have been a fore gone conclusion was recorded yester day in the house when, the constitu tional amendment proposing nation wide woman's suffrage was rejected by a voto of 174 to 204. Not only did tho resolution fail to command the two-thirds necessary for passage, but it fell short of a majority of tho vote cast by sixteen,p and was forty one less than a majority of the full house. This result 'was generally an ticipated, save that a larger percent age of the house was expected to fa vdr tho amendment. The vote, there fore, is not a surprise, except in the emphasis with which the house re jected the proposition to admit wo men to tho franchise in all the states. It can not be said that this action by the house is a setback for the suf frage cause. In one respect it is an assistance, for it demonstrates the fu tility for the present of seeking suf frage by constitutional amendment, and will permit and encourage the concentration of effort on the part of the suffragists upon the various states which have not yet admitted women to the vote. Undoubtedly some ground has been lost during the past two years through the fruitless ef fort to secure congressional action while so much work remained to be done in the states. Woman suffrage is a progressing cause and its ultimate success throughout the country is not doubt ed. Unless there is a decided change in congressional sentiment in the near future the developments must be accomplished through the adoption of state constitutional amendments. Yet every state that is added to the list will strengthen the support of the federal amendment in congress. It is expected that during the next two years several states ivill be added to the list. In the south particularly the field is open and the women are ac tively at work these making converts to their cause. Friends of the equal suffrage prin ciple should not be downcast by yes terday's action in the house. Wash ington Star.

A splendid char isteristic of the speech is its aggres siveness. The president gives assur ance that he does not want to serve any party any longer than it serves the needs of the country, and he la ju3ti(ied in entertaining the belief that a great majority of the people are with him in his efforts to provide these needs. Those who look on usually think they can do the work better than the person performing it, but no one whose sense of fair play outweighs partisan prejudice will deny that the president in his administration of public affairs, has not at all times been guided by lofty and patriotic mo tives and that his one desire has been to do thosethincs which shall bring I the greatest good to the greatest number.
