BAILY HERALD. PrIDAY, BIRTH OF NEW ERA FOR RUSSIAN WOMEN Sufirage Expoctetl to Bg. Gmt‘ Aid in Educational Line Petrograd, May 4.—Woman suffrage has come.quietly and unostentatiously to ‘Russia. The Provisipnal govern- .ment has not yet officially announced its: full views on the subject, but in- dividual ministers: have ‘stated that it |is decided that women will vote at ‘both the municipal and rugal, councils elections, and ‘also in the elections for the. General Constitutional Assembly. Universal ‘suffrage for' women will be a curious and' interesting experi- ment in Russia. From the mass of Peasant women fully intelligent vot- ing can scarcely be expécted at pres- ‘ent, but no doubt for them the vote will be a highly stimulating and edu- cative opportunity. The men voters do_not expect that women of this class will vote independently, and say therefore that their participation will only slightly affect the result. The attitude of the average peasant to his women folk is still, on the whole, contemptuous, but sometimes a capable woman rules a whole vil- lage, and it is a well-known fact that in certain relizious sects the women are the leaders, In Petrograd there have been sev- eral woman's suffrage demonstrations '| since the revolution, with speeches in the City Hall.and processions with red For Your Stomach’s Sake don’t i! tters when something ith {gfir fié?JnT“aTh% st‘Zm:i‘ch is mmmfii%%’n}“%fihé uman organism. good shape. en it ge out of’ ogfier‘ the head, el nleI:'m, the liver and bloodgare soon affected unless prompt and proper measures of re- lief are at once taken. enever there is need, take ECHAM: PILLS for your stomach’s sake, and keep it working properly. i sty Vo b 0 g in tion, ess, ence,. nausea, breath, biliousness, constipation and other toms that call for assistance. - For these remarkable pills ‘have a fine tonic action on the digestive organs, which helps the stomach to take care of its food.

Women and girls crowded into the Duma with ' the throng of soldiers and workmen, radi- ated out into the myriad committees, distributed food, operated typewriters, and found for themselves: suitable places in the general organization. Young women were found frequently -as speakers at the impromptu mass meetings where orators of the people harangued the crowds at street cor- ners. ‘A woman's organization plas- .| tered the town with bills urging equal recognition of the sexes. ‘A woman writer was placed at the head of the organization of temporary soup kitchens opened for the soldiers during the revolution week. The City Council elected to its permanent com- mittee several women, including Madame Miliukoff and Countess Pan- in. There were meetings especially organized by woman house servants to urge an improvement in their work- ing conditions but, as nobody knew what to demand, nothing further happened. There have been continu- ous meetings of women at the Wom- en’s University and Medical - College, |. with stormy conflicts between the moderates and the radicals, and thou- sands of resolutions have been passed, declaring for equal suffrage, resump- tion of work, continuation of the war, and support of the Provisional gov- ernment. Schoolgirls everywhere have been imbued with the new spirit. They have organized, elected committees and councils, and passed resolutions, usually under the advice and counsel of their teachers. The schools hum with the voluntary study of ‘eivics and . | economics. Pupils in the tn.rlous sehools of Petrograd proposed the formation of a8 Union of Pupils, t6 which each school was to. send a preportional delegation. The principals vetoed the renterprise, and sald if the delegates met they would resign. The delegates . | @id meet. the organization was formed and the principals did not resign. AZTEC TILES UNEARTHED. Mexico City, May 4.—Recent exca- vations in Mexico City in Reloj and Maria Teresa streets have uncoverced fitty-five splendid examples of Aztec tile work. These tiles. form a por- tion of what once was a floor of the grand temple of Tenoxtitlan and por- tray the mythological wars and dances of the Aztec gods. As the rainy seay son is approaching during which the tiles might be damaged they have ‘been removed from the ruins to the department of inspection of Archeo- logical monuments.

Australia Turns to the Elusive Rabbit As Article of Food and Extermina- tiop. of Animal is Stopped, Melbourne, Australia, May 4.— Rabbif-trapping and _exportation of refrigerated rabbits has experienced a boom: as a result of the war. -Here- tofore, .the rabbits have been a curse to Australla and millions of pounds sterling have been expended in an ef- fort to. eradicate them . . Lately, however, the commonwealth should be extirpated is not being en- couraged. Steps have been taken by the government to have the'poisoning of the animals suspended, and trappers are being urged to maintain the out- put for consumption. Undoubtedly this policy is a result of the war strain upon food supplies in Great Britain and among other jEntente allles.
