"Do not misunderstand me. Woman suffrage is right. It is just. It is expedient. In all moral issues the woman voters make a loyal legion that cannot be betrayed to the forces of evil; and however they are betrayed--as we all are--in campaigns against the Beast, the good that they do in an election is a great gain to a community and a powerful aid to reform. I believe that when the women see the Beast, they will be the first to attack it. I believe that in this our first successful campaign against it, the women saved us."

Lace Cakes

1 cup sugar 1 teaspoon butter 2 teaspoons baking powder 1 teaspoon vanilla 2 eggs 2 1/2 cups rolled oats

Cream butter, add sugar and eggs. To this add vanilla and baking powder, and when these are thoroughly mixed, stir in the oats. This should make a stiff batter, and more oats may be added if batter is not stiff enough.

Mold into little cakes with a teaspoon and bake in buttered pans two inches apart, for ten minutes.
