What a Woman Of Prominence In
the Medical World Has to
Say About Her Sex.
WHAT ARE WOMEN'S RIGHTS?

| In all ages of the world poets, scien-
lists. and men of prominence have looked
with enthusiasm often akin to reverence
upon woman; but it is only within the last
| few years that she has begun to assume
her right place. not only in society. but
with the world in general. Why so de-
| sirable an end should have been so long
delayed it is difficult to understand; but
! that it has at last come is certainly cause
for gratitude. in her social sphere, in her
mental development. and especially in her
! physical improvement, woman has shown
wonderful advancement. and such as as
| tonishes the world.
| They who have made careful investi-
CATION tell us that heather women are
much more able to endure pain than are
the women of civilization, but civilized
women would resent the charge that they
are weaker because they are civilized.
distinguished writer says: IF the women
of civilization are less able to endure the
| taxation Of their physical resources than
are heather women, it is a mere acct
dental circumstance, and one within their
control"
Let us consider for moment the pos
sibilities which present themselves to
every woman. When the body is healthy,
beauty is certain to appear, even in fea-
lures and forms once plain; indeed, 1t is
the only known way to become beautiful,
and all preparations, powders, and laces
are contemplate decisions. With health
and beauty in all their attractiveness
new life dawns,

and all the luxurious attendants OF
healthy body come forth. The maiden
feels the glorious possibilities Of life; the
mother becomes conscious Of the grandeur
Of maternity and the joys Of family All
this is not only woman's privilege; 1t Is
her duty, and it embodies the highest
definition of "Woman's Rights"
After enumerating many of the bless
ings that follow perfect health, the speak
er continued:
All these desirable things can be ac-
complished, but in one way only. The

TO REVISE THE REVENUE LAW.
Meeting of Republican Members of
the Ways and Means Committee.

the Ways and Means Committee.
A meeting of eight of the ten Republican
members Of the Committee on Ways and
Means was held in the room of that COM
mittee at the Capitol yesterday to enter
upon consideration Of the question Of re-
vising the War Revenue law approved June
| 13, 1898, with view to adjusting certain
Inequalities and also, to as great an ext5nt as
possible. allaying or appeasing the quite
general demand for reduction of war tax
es. Because of the policy TO which the
present Administration is pledged, an APP
preciatle reduction of the revenues aris-
| ing from war taxes is not contemplated by
| the majority members of the committee.
| The first session. which convened at 1880
and lasted till after noon. was devoted to
a preliminary discussion Of the situation.
Another session was held in the after
noon and meetings will be held daily un-
til plan Of action shall have been agreed
upon. i5N
The committee determined during the
first session that it will not grant
hearings to the Representatives of inter-
ests seeking a reduction of special taxes.
The reason assigned by Mr.. Payne, the
chairman. for this decision is that the
committee will not have the time to de-
vote to these hearings. He said:
Full and complete hearings were
granted last spring to everybody who
expressed a desire to be heard. and the
! reports of these hearings. together with
briefs and statements filed then, are at
hand for consultation by the members Of
the committee when more light on a par
ticular subject may be needed. 1t is de-
sired, though, that all those interests az
fected by the War Revenue law that may
want to file original statements or sup
Elementary or additional statements,
shall do so, ard these will be considered
in due course by the committee"
The majority OF the Ways and Means
Committee also decided to make no
change in any of the tariff schedules.
This decision is important in view of the
fact that considerable pressure has been
brought to bear upon Republican leaders
for the repeal OF the tax on tea. Section
so of the act TO provide ways and means
to meet war expenditures. recites: THAT
there shall be levied, collected, and paid
upon tea when imported from foreign
countries a duty of 10 cents per pound"
Mr.. Payne said: ''No sweeping reduction
is contemplated"
Secretary Gage appeared before the
committee at the afternoon session and
presented his views on the proposed re-
vision. The meetings were behind closed

THE ARMY OF HEALTH.
The Army in the Philippines InsiE-
nificant COmp0red With This One,

If all the people in the United States.
| Canada. and Great Britain who make
daily use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
could be assembled together 1t would
make an army that would outnumber our
army of one hundred thousand by at least
five to one.
Men and women, who are broken down
in health, are only a part of the thous-
ands who use this popular preparation,
the greater number are people who are
| in fair health but who know that The way
| to keep well is to keep the digestion per-
feet and use Stuart's Tablets as regularly
as meal time comes to insure good di-
gestion and proper assimilation of food.
Prevention is always better than cure
and disease can find no foothold if the di-
gestion is kept in good working order by
the daily use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tab
lets.

PLANS FOR REINFORCEMENT
Membership of the House of Repre-
sentnttvcs TO he Increased.

Representative Hopkins of Illinois, Chair
man of the House Committee on the Gen.
sus. said yesterday that the committee will
meet during the first week of the session Of
Congress, and will proceed Immediately to
frame bill providing for reapportionment.
He is of the opinion that the bill will be-
come law at the present session, and that
while it will increase the ratio of repre-
sentation, the membership of the House
will also be increased. The present ratio
is one Representative for 1880 inhab
tants. So far as he has learned, he said,
the sentiment of the Census Committee is
for increasing it to about $4,000, which
will reduce by one the number of men,
bers from Maine. Maryland. Nebraska, and
Virginia. and would add fifteen or twenty
members from States that have increased
their populations.
On the subject of reducing the represen-
tation of the Southern States to basis of
votes actually cast. Mr.. Hopkins said he
locks for no legislation of that character at
this session for the reason that the session
will be short one. The proposition will
DO discussed. he said, when the Reappor-
tionment bill shall have been taken up, but
he thought that the two subjects were dis
tinct, and should be considered in separate
bills

club played to a losing business all sea-
sen. the expenses were heavy, and re-
ceipts light. Discussions are known TO
have arisen. but with the elimination Of
Manager Tebeau it was hoped that lar

JUMPED TO ESCAPE BURNING.
Mrs. Florence Pcyt0n Injured Dur.
ing n Fire.

Fire broke out shortly after 2:3O o'clock
yesterday afternoon in the two-story frame
house. 1891 l. Street southeast. and before
the department could respond to an alarm
the flames had spread TO three adjoining
houses. Mrs. Florence Peyton was in the
second story of the house with her two
little children and her brother when the
flames were discovered, and were only able
to escape by jumping out of windows Mrs.
Peyton severely sprained her ankle and her
brother, Columbus Howe, lacerated his
wrist.
The fire is supposed to have started in
the kitchen of 1881, and that house, which
is rented by George Peyton, was practically
destroyed. with its contents. House 1925,
occupied by Henry Hayes; 1927. by George
w. Hicks, and 1929, by John Langley, were
damaged only on their SECOND floor, and the
contents removed before they were dam
aged. The property is owned by Mrs. Alice
A. Linkins. and was damaged to the extent
of about sl.100. The loss is covered by in

welfare.
1T is doubtless true that in 1850 Great
Britain and the United States contemplate
ed the speedy completion of the Nicaragua
Canal. They proposed to have joint in
terests. not by joint contributions to it;
but the possibilities of Suez Canal, that
followed years after 1850. dawned upon
the maritime world, changed the interests
of Great Britain, and she no longer desired
the Nicaragua Canal for her own uses.

BAD BLOOD,
BAD COMPLEXION.

The skin is the seat of an almost end
less variety of diseases. They are known
by various names, but are all due to the
same cause, acid and other poisons in
the blood that irritate and interfere with
the proper action of the skin.
To have a smooth, soft skin, free from
all eruptions, the blood must be kept pure
and healthy. The many preparations of
arsenic and potash and the large number
of face powders and lotions generally
used in this class of diseases cover up
for a short time, but cannot remove per-

ial majesty to the wives of the foreign
ministers last winter. This handsome
souvenir of notable occasion-it was
the first time in the history of the cell
estial kingdom that foreign women
were admitted to the imperial city-is
band Of virgin gold nearly half an
inch broad in front, tapering toward
the back, where its open ends lap,
making the ring adjustable; exquisite
ly carved and ornamented in it's broad
est part by large and beautiful pearl,
fastened to it by gold wires, which are
passed through the base Of the gem.
This gift, a rare example of oriental
art, is worthy the illustrious donor
and much priced by Mrs. Conger, on
whom the empress made a most pleas
ing impression. The wives of the
foreign ministers spent on this occa-
sion whole day in the imperial city,
and were twice granted interviews
with the emperor and empress, who
was winning, affable, and evidently
pleased to receive the distinguished
women who had formally requested
the privilege Of greeting her. Taking
each of her guests by the hand, she
said, smilingly: I'VE all belong to the
same country" and later on
when they were drinking tea,
she went about among them slipping
tea from each cup, which is regarded
and was accepted as delicate COM
pliment. At parting the empress cor
daily embraced her visitors and
loaded them with presents of carved
ivory and silk, expressing her happi-
ness at having had them in her palace.
