WOMEN HOLD REINS IN TWO TOWNS OF U. S. Jewett, Texas, Boasts Progress With All Its Offices in Feminine Control. WYOMING SHOWS FAITH There are two towns in the United State* where women have the reins of government in their hands. Jewett, Tex., was the first to come under feminine rule. This little city not only has a mayoress, but also claims the distinction of having elected a full city council of women, each of whom has jurisdiction over some particular department o.' municipal control. tra. J. T. Adkinson, the mayor (the correct' expression is mayoress) is also the municipal police judge, but so orderly and law abiding have the people been since the women came into office, that •s yet there has been no occasion to hold court.

Mrs. Adkinson says there is every reason to believe that under the administration of women, Jewett will lead a quiet, peaceful existence and it is believed that women can fill the city positions to a better advantage than the men. TOWN CLEAN-UP COMES FIRST. The first thing that the women did after being installed In office, was to Institute a clean-up campaign, which was carried out according to the housecleaning instincts of the average woman and the town is now cleaner than most of the larger towns of the state, for Jewett's population Is only 1.000. All civic problems will be worked out In a systematic way, according to Mrs. Adkinson, and no violent departure will fe* undertaken without first holding mass meetings and discussing all questions with the taxpayers. There are no political factions in Jewett as nothing but the utmost harmony prevails ami there is a gallant co-opera-tion on the part of the menfolks, who were perfectly willing for the women to undertake the running of the city government. The mayoress of Jewett expect:- to visit other towns while in office la the hope of gaining ideas that will be of some help to her while she presides over the little city during her period of administration. But Jewett, Texas, is not the only Incident of this kind in America. MOUNTAIN TOWN GOVERNED BY WOMAN. Way up among the Wyoming mountains. seventy-five miles from the nearest railroad point, is another town where the hand that rocks the cradle also pilots the municipal ship. This place is called Jackson Hole and the entire municipal board is made up of women, and they are giving a “sane and businesslike administration,” it is said.

Each of the five women office holders Is an old resident of the community, and Mrs. Grace G. Miller, the wife of a bank president, is the mayor and the remaining officers are among the best of the town. When these women were elected the vote was the largest in the town's his- : tory and they defeated the men caudi- ■ dates two to one. Now. the ‘'gentle reader” must not get the idea that Jackson Hole was of the proverbial wild and woolly west type of j town when the women took charge of! things there, for it was anything but that. SUPPORT EQUAL' SUFI RACE. , The citizens of the little burg are re- j fined and intellectual and have long balieved that women should have the right • of suffrage and take part in the affairs of government. While the little valley is isolated from the rest of the world by its towering j mountains, it is probably the most peace- | able veliev in the United States. It Is known as the Switzerland of America and is visited by thousands of tourists every year. Jackson Hole has the distinction of having had the greatest percentage of its population In the service during the : ■war other than any other locality of Its size in the yountry. Wyoming has had woman suffrage for { fifty-one years. The right of women to vote is not anew thing to them, but this is the first town in the state to be given over entirely to “petticoat rule,” as the saying goes, and It has proved a success. Such are the changes brought about by the progress of time. Old things are passing away like a tale that is told. Women are taking a hand In our gov- j ernmental affairs and the world grows : better thereby. L T.U, Will Institute Muncie Turkey RoosL MUNCIE, Ind., July 13.—The Nob™ Order of Turkey will Institute a local roost hare next Saturday night when the twenty-second semi-annual state conference of the International Typographical union will convene. An elaborate program has been arranged and Dr. J. S. Coffman will deliver the address of welcome. The conference will adjourn Sunday night. Phelactine, New Wonder Worker for Hair Growths (Causes Even tbe Roots to Come Out) By an entirely new and perfectly harmless method, any woman a filleted with a growth of superfluous hair can now remove the disfigurement completely*— root* Included —la just a few seconds. Isn’t that glorious news? The recently discovered phelactine process is altogether different from electrical, depilatory and other methods heretofore employed for the purpose. It Is the only thing that enables one to remove roots and all in one’s own home without expert assistance. The result can not be doubted, for the user sees the hair-roots with her own eyes. A stick of phelactine, with simple instructions, can be procured at any drug store. It is odorless, non-irritating, non-poisonous la child could eat it without injury). The method is so thorough that the skin is left perfectly smooth and hairless, bear- j ing not the least evidence of its former : blemish. —Advertisement. IUNDREDS OF WOMEN nowadays are entering the professions or business world and go to work day j after day In bad health, afflicted with some female ailment, dragging one foot , wearily after the other, working with an eye on th clock, and wishing for closing time to come. Women in tills condition should take Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com- j pound made from roots and herbs. It ! has brought health and happiness to more women in America than any other , remedy. Give it a trial.—Advertisement :
