WOMAN SUf
fMGf TESTED
As Told by . One of the Male Mem
bert of the Suffragette Club.
(BY 8YRUPUS SIMPLEX)
I uaeter be in favor of woman
sufferedge but I aint eny more now
That is I sorter thawt it ud be all
rite for the wimmer follces to have
tber clubs an to vote, but I plumb
got my fill o'that an my taster
still outer whack from tryin to play
my wife's part on househole ecker-
nomicks—that's what she's jined the
meny clubs an she kinder esplaned
to me as how she's bin studyen em
I onct thawt they wuz a kinder s
new fangled breakin out the child*
era had, but she told me rite to my
open face that I outer be larnin
suthin bout em kause she wuz agoin
to let me try my ban at 'em purty
soon.
Well, it didnt take long, to come
my turn. One sundie mornin she
ris up powerful arlie an lowd she'd
go to sundie school an cherch an
leave me an the kids to kook dinner
by tbe rules of them househole
eckernomicks. I kinder took a de-
lite in the precedins at first an
watcht her git round brakefast,
while she wuz a ezplainin all bout
how dumplins an pyes, an biskit wuz
maid, an she went into detale as how
to baik *he hen fer dinner. It lookt
ezy an I just tole her she needen to
bother bout all them detaled in-
struckshuns as my ma had ofen
maid me wash the dirhes when I
wuz a growin up at home. I wuz
justa eechin to show her what I
could do with one of them househole
eckernomick menyous. Well she
soon got her sundie fizins on, peept
into tbe kitchen an kinder gave me
-one of her ta-tas with a smile that
neerly shuck the power ofner her
face.
After she was outen site, I sar-
vayed the field or rather the situ-
uasbun. I rolled up my sleaves and
put on won of my wifes blue checkt
apruns but it got in the way of my
legs and kinder hobbled me so I jest
laid it off.
The furst thing I tackled was the
old hen. I masht up the dressin an
stuft her so full she neerly busted,
laid her in the bakin pan, piled sev-
ral wads a dressin round her an
poked the hole lot into the stove.
"Thats eezy as walkiu," I said.
The next chapter was frowt with
danger but I waded into the flower
like one of them cheffers we read
Make Your Face
Wear Well
The skin will not take
all kinds of treatment,
give it consideration by
using
VIOLET DULCE
This cream is best for
facial purposes. It re-
moves the dead outer
layer of the skin or epi-
demics, cleanses the
pores, restores to them
a natural healthy action,
thus bringing better cir-
culation and natural rosy
cheeks.

bout that cook at the big hotells. I
sifted a pile a flowei into the psn
aqd maid a hole in the top like the
krater of Mt. Vesuvious. Into this
hole, I put a chunk of cottoline,
some salt, an then poured in passell
of buttermilk, the kids tole me that
there ma allers put in some sody an
bakinpowder—and I knowed it too—
>o I measured a liberal quanity of
both and stirred them into the milk.
It kinder biled up like a seedlitz
powders at the drug store but I piled
up the flower sob to hold all the in-
greediance in the krater. "Now, did
my wife put her handa in all that
mess or did she stir it with a
spoon?" I thawt. A new idee struck
me so I got down the aig beeter an
gave that a tew whirls in the stuff
but it spatered the siczlin milk all
over my sundie pants an filled one
of the kids eyes with a part of the
contence. I saw that wouldnt dew,
so I lambed both my hands into the
batch and begin the process of tryin
to get the bilin stuff to stick ter-
getber into a ball, but the more I
tried the more it worked up between
my fingers an on the tops of my
handa. One of the kids then re-
minded me I had fergot to wash my
hands and that there ma allers stur-
ed up the biskit douh with a spoon.
noed that none of the douh that
had stuck on my hands bad fell off
into the pan, so I jest washt off the
lot in the sink. The spoon workt
alrite cept I coudnt git tbe douh to
adhear, so I pored in some butter
milk to act as a sorta kollector, but
that made matters worsen ever.
Finaly I got a nutt flower mixed up
with the ingreediance to make a
"consistant mass" as the books on
houshole eckernomicks said, and
yankt the hole lot out on douh
bored. The process of fiattenin out
that mass, which seemed to git more
inconsistanter all the time, was the
worst job of my life. Tbe more I
roled it the tighter it would stick to
the bottle used for a rollin pin and
the bored. I tride greasin the bot-
tle and bored but this only compli-
kated things. Fioaly I spanked it
down with my hands and then tride
to cut out the biekits with a tin cut-
ter. This was not a suckcess from
a mechanickal point of view, but I
got em the pan alrite.
Then I turned my attenshun to the
bakin hen in the stove, when I dis-
kivered the fire had gone plum out.
I didnt take time to wash my hands,
so in my hurry to start a new fire
I scattered some douh round as I
went. The fire started, the hen a
bakin, the pan tangled bisket safely
carrolled in the stove, I turned my
indeevided attenshun to pye makin.
I had ofen saw my ma an my wife
make pyes and I felt konfident of
suckcess in this pyous undertakin.
Forcboonly, I had a lot a scraps of
douh left in the pan, on the pin,
bored and floor. These I gathered
up carefully and worked them into a
"consistent mass." My wife bad
tole me to to put a crust in the pan
and won on top of the contense and
ingreediance, so reason tole me, and
and cookin is a reasonable thing, to
divide the batch into two equil parts.
This done I tried my level best to
role one peace out big enuf to kiver
the pan, but either the douh was too
thin to hold together or too small to
kiver the pan. I tried stretchen the
disk of dough over the pan like I
did a green cat hide over a banger
head when I wuz a boy, but that'd
pull holes in it. Finully, I pasted
it in the pan an then pieced out the
sides an patched up the holes in the
middle with some balls a douh the
kids had been playin with. I was
all puffed up over my suckcess.
The next step was easier because
they did not haft to be handled. I
dumpt io a lot a*canned peaches, a
fe chunks a butter, a cup a
shugar. I noed the pye needed

SELF-STARTING HUDSON
((
IS COMIN G HERE—SEE IT
A few demonstrations will be made to those who
now signify a wish to see Howard E. Coffin's
Newest and Greatest Car.
We will soon send the famous New Self-
starting HUDSON "33" to Hereford, Texas,
for the inspection of those in this community
who are interested in Howard £. Coffin's great-
est car.
The "33" will be here only a short time.
If you would like to see and ride in this big,
noiseless, simple, self-starting car with detach-
able rims and ail the little features used on
other cars only of the highest price, write to u^
today.
The HUDSON "33" is the simplest car
built, It has almost a thousand fewer parts
than has the average car.
It is entirely dust proof. The motor is en-
closed. There are are no exposed rods, wires
or other mechanism. It runs so quietly it can
scarcely be heard. No car at any price is so
quiet.
But the greatest feature is that it was de-
signed by the foremost engineer in the industry
—Howard E. Coffin. He has built many cars
—the four cylinder Oldsmobile, the Thomas-
Detroit "40," the Chalmers-Detroit "30" and
the 1911 HUDSON "33."
There is scarcely a well known car in
America that does not have on it some feature
that Mr. Coffin originated.
Some of the greatest American racing cars
were designed by him. He was for years
Chairman of the Rules Committee and is now
President of the Manufacturers Contest Asso-
ciation. He has been honored with the leading
offices of the great engineering societies and
automobile associations.
The HUDSON "33" is his latest car and
his greatest work.
Although fully equipped with self-starter,
demountable rims, BIG tires, magneto, glass
windshield, top, ventilated foredoors and highest
quality furnishings throughout the price is but
$1600 f. o. b. Detroit.
That is much lower than any of the pre-
vious cars were sold for and it is conceded to be
a better value than could have been obtained
for $3,500 three years ago.
Our time is limited. The car will be here
but a short time. Send your name at once if
you wish to ride in the one advanced car of the
past three years.
Reminder to write at once to
BROWN MOTOR COMPANY,
Plain view, Texas
Expressing my desire to have Howard E. Cof-
fin's Latest Car—the New HUDSON "33" dem-
onstrated to me when it is brought here, there
being no obligation on my part to bay.
Signed.
