Stewart, director of jIiyii.al training for nun. spoke on baths; Mi. Miii.un Thayer, director of jthysical training for women, spoke on air, exercise ami proper clotliins; and l'roiivhor T. 1). Ueckwith. bead of the department of bacteriology, tallu 1 on disease and its prevention. 'liallis as taken by tbo students are not always beneficial." Miid Dr. Stewart. "Sometimes they do more barm than good. After violent exer cise on the field, in the gymnasium, or even after a brisk walk, a student may have so stimulated his physique as to have brought it to the point of exhaustion. If be takes a hot bath after it, the effect is further exhaust ing, as it stimulates him still more. The proper temperature for a bath after such exercise is merely tepiJ, about the sttme as the blood in the body, HS decrees. Such a bath has the effect of noothin;? and reducing liressure on the spinal column and the brain, acting as a generally rest ful agent. '"Shower and plunge baths should tie taken with care. A plunge in wa ter 70 to 75 degrees acts as a bracing tonic to a robust person. The action of water under 70 degrees is to stim ulate heart sir Lion. If taken sudden ly it has a tendency to shock the nervous system, and therefore a per son who is not robust should never take a cold bath unless under doc tor's advice. A tepid bath, which is soothing rather than stimulating, is good for all sexes and ages. The athletes who have become bruised and sore take a warm bath, 95 to 105 degrees, which has a soothing tendency. Kveryone should take a bath of some sort every morning, if it is only a rub-down with a wet towel,' with a brisk rub afterward to stimulate circulation." Miss Thayer said, speaking of physical condition in the home and gymnasium : "No matter how much you develop your mind, you will never attain to our highest educational efficiency un less you have the health to use it. 1 have noticed many students' houses in which the windows were not open. "We were meant originally to live out of doors. Hvery student and mem ber of the faculty should have all the ventilation possible in class rooms and at home. When possible you should sleep out of doors, or make your rooms as open as you can to the fresh air. "The subject of diet is also impor tant. Fried foods and plenty to do make muscle, strength and good dis positions. Good plain, substantial and wholesome food is what you need. Almost no student, or teacher for that matter, eats as slowly as he should. A great many headaches and other ailments come from eating loo fast and, failing to chew the food properly. I will speak to the girls later on hygienic and sensible cloth ing. The boys, who have their fine, sensible military uniforms, do not need such advice." "There is a living cause for almost all diseases, popularly known as germs," said Professor Ileckwith. "The normal human being in the pink of condition should be free from these living causes of disease. For tunately we have in the body certain organisms which tend to kill orf the germs, but they are only good to a certain point, and when the number of germs becomes too great these natural safeguards are broken down and we suffer from disease. There are four paths through which germs enter the body, by the mouth, by the nose, by abrasions or wounds giving entry through the skin, and by way of the reproductive organs. Among the diseases entering through the mouth are typhoid, dysentery, ton sil it is, tuberculosis, scarlet fever and diphtheria. They must have some method of transportation, through the water, other drinks, as milk, or food. The water supply of Corvallis is one of the purest I have ever had to deal with, but 60 per cent ot the wells about the city are bad, so I would advise that you make sure you are drinking city water, not well wa ter, hook into the kitchen where your food is being cooked and see that there are not germ-distributing flies there. Know that the milk you drink is not from dirty or diseased owg. And, above all, live clean, morally straight lives if you would not be one of the 10 per cent In the United States who. are Infected with venereal diseases, grouped under the general name of the black plague."

Decause women are the stand ard bearers of the woild. To lower the standard of the mothers wiil low er the standard of the race. It is elevation we want. We do not want to hear it said again by the men of our land, as has beta said in the equal suffrage Mates, "Women, own our superiors, now our equals." 2. Women is built, physically, for the propagation of the race, and mentally for the rearing of the race. She is not built for heavy labor, neither is she trained for it. Wom an is maile on lines of beauty, love :.nJ tenderness; man on lines of strength. There is an essential and intended difference between the sexes. 3. Sex is the pivot on which the world turns the pivotal point in suffrage. An effeminate man' excites our pity and sport; a masculine woman excites our disgust. "Elimi nation of sex" is not possible, as some suffragists claim. If it could be done, polities would certainly not be bettered by woman's vote. 4. We do not want our country to be governed by any organization, church, or political party. 5. In some suffrage state a foreign-born woman becomes a duly qualified voter by the naturalization of her husband, thus throwing two undesirable votes on the country at once. They usually vote as the su perintendent, manager, etc., of the railroad, mining or manufacturing corporation for which their husband works, or the priest of their parish tells them they , must; these com mands being often enforced by mon ey, by threats of violence, or spirit ual damnation, or by threats of hus band or sons losing their jobs. fi. "New" women and rich, ambi tious women vote for those who fa vor their pet theories. Some vote on account of personal reasons, grudges, etc. A woman seldom bothers about special qualifications for an office. Vicious women vote as the "dominant boss," aided by the police, or as the police, acting on their own account, compel them to do, 7. "Man's work is from sun to sun; woman's work is never done." Women will now tell you that they have not time for their present du ties, so why should they be burdened with more work? The majority of women do not want the ballot and will not avail themselves of the priv ilege and duty of voting. 8. No large number of women have attained to any great degree of prominence in any of the professions or in writing; . neither in deeds of valor; nor any great patents; al though they could have done so had they the ability. The opportunity has not been lacking. Women gener ally have not shown the ability to v,ope with men. 9. Our laws and progress now are as good or better than those of the equal suffrage states, Colorado, etc. 10. Women are sentimental and emotional, not logical, simply posi tive, usually jumping at conclusions; letting sentiment overcome sense and judgment. A woman acts through sympathy and intuition; man through thought and reason. She annot view a subject from a point of law, but turns the law or the question as she thinks it ought to apply. She is too sensitive. If you differ with her she considers it per sonal and takes affront, using offen sive personalities and questioning the right of any one to disagree with her, which shows what means will be used if given the ballot. 11. Women are now at the bot tom of every reform, as well as de form the world experiences. All re forms are begun before the cradle and women are their Inceptors. Pre natal culture is a lifelong study, and Ihe only thing that will reform the world. 12. Our grandmothers raised good men to make good laws for us, without the ballot.- Women can now do the same, if she will. 13. Women have aspired to, and can now hold almost every office and position that she could should equal suffrage obtain. 14. The ballot to women does not mean to wise and good women alone, or we might all favor it, but to the wivt's, daughters and sweethearts of every man now a voter, illiterate, in temperate, disreputable, vicious, for eign, etc., etc. 15. If the ballot in men's hands fortified by the unions, cannot regu late men's work and wages, how can it help the women in that way? Wages are governed by the law of supply and demand, by trade condi tions, etc. A working woman will always be paid according to her abil ity, health, etc., being considered; also by the fact that her working years are uncertain and limited 16. The school and children ques tions are being agitated by good women In all the states, both suf frage and non-suffrage, and the best suggestions are already accepted in many of them; before many years all 1TTT KH'i1s iii All Itrai:chM ol the Apple liusli evs Will He at Xiu:c:nl Apple Show. Spokane, Wash., Oct. J 9. Kxpeits in all lines of the apple bushu -s will i be active i:i the conference in Spo- ; kane during the fifth Nations! Apple' Show, November 11 to 17, to assist; in solving the problems of tl;.- indue-1 try. ! Two days' conference .will be de-j voted to orchard problems, h i hiding ' choice of site, preparation an ! plant-; ing. choice of varieties, cultivation! of orchard, pruning, spray;;,, and i harvesting. Wednesday's con Terence i will bo on storage; Thursday'.- on by-i products; Friday's on marketing and distribution; Saturday morning will j be given to financing, and Saturday afternoon to "ivhat to grow between the rows." In the tsorage conference t i;o dis cussion will be on the qr.estlon whether it shall be storage on the farm, at the initial shipping point, at an intermediate point such as Spo kane, or in the east; also whether it should bo "cooler" or "cold" stor age. The matter of ownership of hioiage plants wnciuer by growers, j commission men or uncer a b asing system also will be given attention. The marketing feature wil lhe given great prominence in the conferences. Heads of growers' unions, transpor tation officials and bankers will dis cuss this question in all its phases. One expert of national prominence will discuss the subject of the effect of the Panama canal on the fruit in dustry in the Pacific northwest. The daily conferences will be opened with ai hour and a half por gram of talks, aftor whic ghenerai discussion will be engaged in by all. Mr. Sampson has visited many of the apple districts in the northwest during the last two weeks and has found a hearty response to the con ference plan, not only on the part of the growers but the railway traffic managers as well. FOH WORKING GIRLS' HOME Spokane Women Have Organized to Iliiild One. Spokane women have organized the Philanthropic Society for the pur pose of providing a working girls' protective home, the plan at present including the co-operation of 2,000 girls who earn their living. When the new home is opened it will in clude a free employment office, sew ing department, cafeteria and laun dry. Girls in all occupations, with out regard to nationality or religion, will be invited to join. ha Follette's Weekly Magazine and the Tidings one year for $2.50. that is good will be adopted through woman's influence, without the bal lot. 17. While American women have progressed wonderfully, in a way, in the past few years, and the world, in many ways, is bettered by that progress; still, are the children, gen erally, any .better for it? Who ever heard of "sweat shops" or the need of "child labor laws" in the days of our good old grandmothers? Tbey did not throw their half-worn gar ments in the ragbag because it was "cheaper to buy new ones;" neither did they refuse to make new ones because it was "cheaper to buy them ready made." The women have the right now to "down" those same "sweat shops' they decry; all the right they will ever use to that end. They propagate and maintain .them by buying the jheap clothing made therein, instead of making them, or paying a good round sum ior having them made. The merchant (barges for goods according to what he mus'. pay the manufacturer; the manufac turer charges for them according to what it costs him to have them made. When women make- their own clothes, or buy only high-priced ones, there will be no need of "sweat shops." Men generally pay as they are paid. 18. Women are emotional and thus are not fitted for jury duty; and because of lack of strength she is not capable of policeman's work. Some say that she need not take the active part, but authority to make laws without ability to enforce them is a menace to the country, and our basic principle of government would be shattered thereby. ' " 19. While there are many more reasons against equal suffrage, this last embodies all that might be said: "Woman, in her office (now), holds the key of the soul. She it is who stamps the coin of character, and makes the being, who would be a savage but for her gentle care, a Christian man." ELIZABETH YOCKEY.
