SENSIBLE TALK FROM A GERMAN PAPER. 1 What shall we do with our daughters? Give them a good school education; teach them to cook healthy food. Teach them to. wash, to Iron, to mend stockings, to sow on buttons, to maks their own clothes, and a well-fitting shirt. Teach them to bake; to know that good cooking' saves medicine.

Teach' thein that a dollar Is worth one hundred cents; that only those are saying who spend less thari they receive, and that whatever more is spnfT tends Telcb them that they are muchTrf better dressed in strong cotton garments than in silk, if they are in debt. Teach them that one round, full face is worth more than fifty beautiful consumptive ones. Teach in the Legislatures of the several States and Territories, i To necure such expresr slon, we ask the suffragists throughout the country to petition their respective Legis- latures, asking them to pass resolutions re-commending Congress jo submit a 16th amendment proposition to the Staters. 3d. Wo ask the officers of the National Suffrago Association, representing different States, to call conventions at trreir Capital city early in tho session of their Legislature, and make Special effort to secure actioi on the 16th amendment resolution.

4th. We urge the friends, everywhere, to call public get the best local speakers, and at the close of each meeting take a standing vote on our 16th amendment question, duly count it and send two reports slgnedby the President and Secretary of the meeting to our Secretary, Ellen H.

Let women by; the hundreds land thousands each address the Senators, and Representatives of her State, both inJCon-gress and Legislature asking them to vote for the 16th amendment resolution. Such direct personal appeals, by voice or letter will have far more weight than the same words in the form of a petition, will compel our law-makers to feel that we are not discouraged by their Iridilorerence or' adverse reports, but instead, are stimulated to moro earnest and determined efforts to secure national protection -In our citizen's right to vote. -y Wo ask our friends to copy petitions in ink for themselves, In a legible hand, obtain signatures1 immediately and forwardpostage paid, to thetroDer Dlaco Since the assembling of the first regular session, Dec.
