HOLD MI SESSION FIRST FEMININE LEGISLATURE CLOSES ITS WORK. SATIREON MASCULINE DEBATE Session Was One of Parliamentary Drill Productive of Much Amusement to Male Auditors. Wostorn Newspaper Union News Heivlcr. Women of various organizations held a legislative session at tho state houso Thursday, that was replete with argu ment, debate, discussion mid parlia mentary tactics, oxer laws proposed, thoroughly disserted and finally dis posed of, with a dispatch unheard of In masculine legislation. Tho session was not Intended ns a burlesque performance at the expense of the lords of creation who had been holding forth so long In tlio same chamber, but It approached that desig nation on numerous occasions. Only the fact that the ladles were not familiar with frequent amusing per formances of regular members kept them from doing tho same thinga. Tho session was aerlous in many respects, tho members engaging In arguments on tho merits of bills with no Inten tion of Its being funny. The humorist of tho ladles' houso was Mrs. A. M. Hunting, whose gentle sarcasm di rected at tho arguments made by men in slmllnr situations brought down the house. Mrs. ness Gearhart Morrison was speaker. Mrs. A. M. Muntlng, al though a representative taking tho placo of Meysenburg of Hutler, acted ns chaplain and thereby went farther In tho economy program than had been thought of before. Mrs. I M Schrcek engast wns chief clerk and Mrs. F. A. Alabaster first assistant. These ladles wero extremely careful to divide tho Inbors and In that reaped did not net at all like tho clerical forco In the reg ular legislature. Mrs. Morrison aa apeaker followed the regular oredr of business, but hur ried through without nny first reading bllla in order to refer some others to the standing committees. One bill wac ncted upon In passage. It was H. R. 49, tho female labor law which caused such a commotion in tho re cent legislative session of tho men, except that tho objectionablo provi sions were not In It. Mrs. Frnnk Har rison showed herself a seasoned mem ber on this roll call by whispering to her neighbors until the clerk had called her name throe or four times, when with slmulnted surprise alio an Bwered. reading her explanation, and later changing to thoothcr Bldo. The real burlesque of tho day was the proposed constitutional amend ment to give mon tho right to vote, it being asaumed in tho discussion that they had never been so honored. The roll call and tho cxplanationa of votes wero made tho opportunity for repetitions of many of tho arguments used by men ns rensons why women should not hnve the ballot. And very probably all the ladieB who wero tak ing part In tho session wore favorablo to surrrago. Tho voting showed a largo percontnge voting In tho nega tive, for reasons that tho mon who had preceded them in tho samo chnm-1 ber so many different times would havo voted against woman suffrago. The speaker ruled with an Iron hand. ' She would not announce tho result of the voting other thnn to say It had J carried. No protest roso from tho indignant ncgatlvo voters at this an nouncement. Mrs. E. T. Hartley Introduced one of the sorioua bills of tho session, a child welfare bill similar to the one now in effect In Kansas. Mrs. Hartley not only was successful in having her bill passed, but so Interested tho women in It that talk was heard In tho corri dors to tho effect thnt action will probably be tnken by Nebraska women to secure through tho regents the es tablishment of child wolfaro work In tho extension department of tho uni versity. Some of tho speeches, especially from the authors of tho hills, wero long nnd In that reaped did not dif fer from tho usual course of events where lawmnklng really counts. Mrs. Jackson. representing Nuckolls, moved directly nfter ono of tho rather oratorical addresses that speeches bo limited to threo minutes. Tho mo tlon was entertained nnd cnrrlcd. Mrs. Trester, repreacntlng York county, Introduced an act to require husbands to support their wivea nnd children and to prescribo punishment for violations of its provisions by a term of not less than threo years la tho penitentiary. A groat deal of fun was had ovor tho foraalo labor bill which was amended by tho legislature to allow women In small towns to work over nine hours a day, and which bill women generally disaprovo of. A liko bill was brought in as a roport of a standing committee. Somo of tho women who acted as legislators for a day, and tho counties they represented wero Mesdames O. J.

Grape-Nuts is a concentrated food, hence a small portion goes a long way. It is made of wheat and barley, and contains all the nutriment of these grains, including those invaluable mineral salts so often lacking in ordinary food, but which are indispensable for normal growth and maintenance of body and brain. One great aim in originating Grape-Nuts was to supply this lack of mineral elements, and it fulfills its purpose admirably. Grape-Nuts is a delicious food, and digests quickly, generally in about one hour. Compare this with the 2 J to 3 hours required by bread. j- Ready to eat direct from the FRESH-SEALED package, crisp, nourishing, eco nomical "There's a Reason" for Grape-Nuts sold by Grocers everywhere. "HOMING INSTINCT" IN BIRDS Attachment to First Home Is Much the Same ns Is Evidenced In Humanity. The habit of birds in migrating South when winter conies on Is In fluenced by the need of finding a auf llelent mipply of rood. As food grows scarce when winter approaches in tho farthest noithein places where birds live they unturally turn to the South, where, their Instinct IoIIh them, food will ho plentiful. Th return of tho birds In the spring to their accustomed haunts In the North is one of tho evi dences of their possession of an In stinct which Is also strong In man. The environment In which a bird or human -being Is brought up generally becomes a permanent part of Its na ture. Ornithologists havo not yet made it clear Just what enables tho bird to find Its way back and forth to (ho samo spot every year, and our knowledge is eonllned to tho lact of what tho 'homing Instinct" does. After they mutu and build (heir llrst nest and bring up their llrst fam ily, birds cherish a fondness for that spot much the same as tho attach ment that man feels for his early home. Tho spring migration of birds Is their Joyful teturu homo after n temporary sojourn abroad to secure tho means of llwdlhood. Gives Beauty Advice. Girls, young Indies and misses, It's no use to spend your coin on rougu and powder to mako yourself look beautiful. It will not Improve your looks. And if you insist upon wearing small, tight shoes with high heels, you can depend upon It that they will bring hard, drawn lines in your face. Another menace to beauty hi a four pound skypieco on your belfry. This Is nil according to Dr. Ida C. Nnhin, who makes a sweeping denunciation of these things. If you want to rctnlu your youthful beauty for ever und ever, follow these dictates, says tho doctoress: Plenty of soap nnd warm water, lots of outdoor exercise, espe cially walking, nnd drink two. quarts of water every day. Tlieso will Insure health, red cheeks and a slim, youth ful figure. Doctor Nnhm recommends tho water cure and walks especially for ladles with too much embonpoint. She says It's tho safest, surest and quickest way to reduce. Took a Chance. "Walter Jones," snld tho teacher sternly, "you aro not attending to tho lesson.

EXPLAINING SONGS OF BIRDS Denutlful Notes of the Nightingale, for Instance, Are Inspired by Paternal Love. It la generally assumed that a bird sings because ho Is happy, but sci ence gocB deeper for an explanation of the why and wherefore of tho bird's song. Nature's optimistic Joy In constructive progress Is expressed iu tho singing of tho innlo birds who charm their mates to further their wooing, nnd continue after eggs are laid to encourage tho fulfillment of hatching. The song stops when tho little birds como out of tho sholl. Tho nightin gale, for weeks during tho period of neat-building nnd hatching, charms hla nuito and human ears near htm with the beautiful music of his lovo song. Hut ns Boon as tho littlo night ingales como from tho eggs tho song ' changes to a sort of guttural croak, Implying nnxloty nnd snnso of respon sibility. It tho nest nnd contents wero de stroyed the nightingale would at once rcsumo his beautiful song to inspire his mate to help him build another nest and start nil over again tho lov ing work of being fruitful and multiplying.
