s.There is. When woman is weak. she
requires strength. Ali her functions must
be put in a healthy condition. Nothing
does this go easily and surely as pure
spirits taken in moderation, either before
meals or between meals. l know scores
OF ladies that are kept in perfect health
and brilliancy by the judicious use OF
Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey. Many OF
these ladies are wives of professional
men, and most of them are temner-
apce women. They realize that Duffy $

mainder of the women were escorted to
their various houses by the police and
quiet and peace once more reigned in the
Chinese half world. :
Not so with the unlucky thirteen. As
soon as they discovered they were marked
for further Identification there was wall
ing and tom-toming that the widows OF
Ashur could not approach. The women
were formally placed under arrest by
Gardiner, amid general hysteria. An
apartment in the upper floor OF the mis-
slon-house was converted into a temporary
bastile, and here the scbbing Chinawomen
spent the night in charge of Officer Kerri-
son.
The names of the suspects are Poon
Kan, Yuen Lin, Chang Ngan Ylng. Wal
Linn Oy, YIng Ho, Yehe Ho, An Kew,
Yuet You, Yuet Kan, Tai Choy. All Tai,
All Yuet aud All Ngan. For the most
part they are in their teens and are all re-
cent arrivals in this City. The places
where they were found leave no doubt as
to the purpose for which they were
brought here.
1t is the programme OF the special agents
OF the treasury to make a test case OF these
thirteen women. They will be arraigned
before Commissioner Heacock at once,
and the Government hopes to prove that
they have been illegally landed and Will
ask for their deportation. Ii this is ac'
complished there is likely to be sad de-
crease in the female population OF China
town, as it is the general belief OF the offl-
clals that not one in ten o. the Chlnese
women in this City are here legally. The
deportation OF these women would proba-
bly, result in wholesale raids on all the dis
reputable places in Chinatown.
There sre rumors of an ugly scandal
stalking behind the present proceedings.
