I think of woman suffrage? I wrote the
resolution in the Kansas Senate submitting the
constitutional amendment for it. When I became
Governor of Kansas I found a hundred little
orphans at our State Orphans' Home, mothered by a
man. The little unfortunates at our schools for
the deaf and the blind were mothered by men. I
placed women at the head of these institutions.
Among the other appointees during my term of
office was a woman on the Board of Administration,
the board having our educational institutions in
charge; a woman on the Board of Health; a woman
Factory Inspector; a woman Parole Officer; a woman
on the State Text Book Commission; two women on
the Board of Education, and women physicians at
our state hospitals. In every instance these women
gave the State of Kansas better service than did
the men whom they succeeded.

The women of Kansas have "arrived" and the state
service is better by their participating in it.

Cordially yours,
GEORGE H. HODGES.
Governor.

Cooking takes a little training and a great deal
of common sense.

EGGS, ETC.

Pain d'Oeufs

Beat slightly six eggs, add six tablespoons sugar, a pinch of salt and
one-half teaspoon vanilla. Scald three cups of milk and pour slowly over
the eggs, stirring constantly.

Melt in a granite or aluminum baking dish six tablespoons of sugar until
brown, using no water. Pour the custard into this, set into a pan of hot
water and bake in a slow oven 45 minutes or more until the custard is
set, and a testing knife comes out clean. The water in the pan must not
boil.

When perfectly cold turn upside down into a glass or china serving dish.
