ALTHOUGH woman ha:s been con~
sidered the down-trodden sex, al­though
men have been accused of tak~
ing unto themselves all the rights and
privileges, history tells of many women
who have had as great, or a. greater
part in molding the destinies of nations
than have men of like periods.
To be sure, only the favored woman
has been able to rule in the past, but it
must be remembered that the common
man formerly held no more power than
did his wife and only Kings could
wield any political or cultural influ­ence
in those days.
Even in times so far in the past that
we have no written record of them,
women held positions of power. The
Queen kept her own establishment of
house and attendants, which -were on
an equality of those of the King. She
was supposed to have gifts of magic
and powers over invisible beings. She
had the right to act as Queen until the
male heir to the throne became of age.
This we know from ancient Egyptian
tombs.
Queen Hatshepau reigned jointly
with her brother. She is said to have
poisoned him and to have had his name
taken from all public monuments.
After his death Hatshepau became sole
ruler for a period of twenty years. She
was a most capable woman.
It was several centuries before an­other
woman came into public promi­ne~
ce as a ruler-Cleopatra, the last
of the Pharaohs to rule Egypt. She
was only seventeen years old when she
ascended the throne shared jointly
with her brother Ptolemy XII. Every~

Constipation Poisons The System
Fifty different kinds of
poisonous germs have been
found in the intestinal tract.
The intestines have a lining
through which, under normal
conditions, these germs do not
penetrate. The digestive or-
Mr Smith gans pour out their fluids not
· only to digest the food, but to
keep these germs from multiplying in
your system. When you are constipated,
too little fluid is secreted with the result
that more germs accumulate. At the same
time, the lining stretches or becomes in­jured
and the germs find their way into
the blood stream. This causes
Auto-intoxication or Self Poison­ing.

C ARRIE Chapman Catt and
the women of her era
finally gained the nineteenth
amendment. Since that time,
although women have been
steadily moving forward politi­cally,
they have taken time
for other movements in which
they have believed.
American women first voted
in a general election in 1920.
The political parties welcomed
them and divided appointive
coriunittee jobs between men
and women. Today we find, in
the states and in the nation,
women and men chairmen or
Vice chairmen for each party.
A National women's party-was
formed and is still active,
but women, .generally, are
working in the old parties
shoulder to shoulder with the
men. Whether, as has been
charged, women have been
submerged in these organiza­tions
and have lost a certain
amount of prestige and power
is an open question.
I T HAS even been suggested
that women named as chair­men
of women's interests or
movements within the parties
are named because the men
leaders think they can influ­ence
them rather than because
of special knowledge or capa­bility
for these appointments.
Be that as it may, the num­ber
of women elected and ap­pointed
to office is increasing
gradually from year to year.

T. ftE ELECTION of 1928

At th~ 'Democratic Conven­tion
seven speeches, making or

these activities had a' decided
influence· in determining tactics
and in the final results of the
election. - .
Mrs. Hert · and · her fellow
workers had the responsibility
of capitalizing women's predi­lection
for prohibition and
antagonism to Tammany Hall
into votes for Hoover.
MRS. MOSKOWITZ assum­ed_
great responsibilities in
the Democratic headquarters
by handling the publicity cam­paign.
Political appointments
received by women in return
for their efforts in behalf of
the party, while not so numer­ous
as appointments of men for
the same purpose, were suffi­cient
to show that both political
parties realized the importance
of the woman's vote.
The numl!er of women elec­ted
to office is slowly growing.
The main factor in keeping
them back has been lack of

For Colds, Headache, Lumbago, Acute Rheu­matism,

better medicine than DR. MILES' ASPIR­MINT
Tablets.
After long research and tests our chemists
perfected a way to make this new A~pirin com­pound
in a palatable, MINT-FLAVORED
Tablet. Those who cannot take ordinary as­pirin,
find these mint-flavored tablets "Just
the thing."
So many sufferers have written us telling
how much better they like this modern, "pleas­ant-
to-take" mint-flavored compound - how
quickly it breaks up Colds, relieves pain, re­duces
temperatures and leaves no disagreeable
after effects.

The New Alkaline Way - ~ . . -
You can say "good-bye" to Headache, Colds, Sour Stomach,
Gas on the Stomach, Indigestion, Neuritic, Rheumatic and other
Aches and Pains which are mostly due to too much acid in your
system. Yes, you can bid them a welcome good-bye.
Too much acid forming foods in our daily diet-irregular meals, too
rich foods, over-eating and drinking, produce excess acidity in the
body and a long train of troubles follow. Correct this excess acid con­dition
and your troubles will vanish. That's exactly what ALKA­SEL
TZER Tablets do. They not only help you to get well-but help
you to keep well-ready for your day of work or pleasure.
You will be delighted with the pleasant, sparkling, bubbling drink
one or two tablets in a glass of water make and particularly with
the prompt and effective relief you'll get.

Gentlemen:
"There is nothing miraculous in the use
of Alka-Seltzer. It is common-sense ap­plied
to a common condition. If, as is
•frequently the case, the system is left in
an acid condition from wrong foods, from
OVf&r-eating and under-exercising, the com-
Jn-sense thing to do is to get it healthily
a. )lline. This is just what Alka-Seltzer
do~.
"Over twenty years of observation and
ex12erience as a pharmacist have taught me
... ,lft many pains and disorders such ·as
Headaches, Common Colds, Heartburn,
Various Stomach Troubles, Rheumatic
Fever, Muscular Aches and Pains; can be
traced to an acid condition of the system.
-~~·When this acid condition is corrected,
the syst~m put in its proper alkaline
s..a,e, these annoying symptoms vanish.
"I take great pleasure in recommending
