Bethesda.

The section traversed by the George

its unduIating and rolling hills, superb
views. and charming background made
by the foothills of the Blls Ridge, is
among the most delightful of the sub

Georgetown II carries 'the gratined pas

with many of Washington's best citI-

Along the route the many beauty spots

Yoked With Beasts.

I have witnessed the petty tyranny
Of men over women in every country on
the Continent. In Germany / have seen
womea yoked up with beasts Of burden
and with dogs drawing wagons, carts,
and the pillow, while the man rode In
the cart or followed IN the burrows.
/ have seen in the city Of Berlin men
loading bags Of coal ons the backs Of
women. who carried them up two or
three flights Of stairs TO apartments.
while the men sat down and waited
for the women TO return and receive the
bags until the load had ali been carried
TO customers. IN the same city have
seen natty army officers walking in the
streets with aged women, maybe their
mothers. or with their wives, never
deigning 20 touch the bundles the
women carried AS d rule. American
men would not be so heaTuess.
If the influence OF American women
has made men more c0nsiderate ana
more gentle toward their mothers
wives. and children. they have made
them true nobIemen, destined TO attain
and maintain a place in the highest
ranks of civilization.

Miss Willard had devoted her life to
the cause. choosing it IN preference to
more lucrative work in education. and
her work had resulted in uniting the
W. c. T T. OF the world in one grand
order. Her policy she described as a

ever was to hit the enemy every time
it appeared, This advice would make
a good motto for the Honolulu ladies.

To FIGHT
THE SALOON
W. {. 7. u. Advised to
Prepare for Assres-
sive Campaign.

A meeting in honor of the memory
of Miss Frances Willard, the ami
versary of whose death occurred on
Saturday, was held by the local w. G..
T. L. in the Central Union church
yesterday afternoon, at which adj
dresses We're delivered by Mrs. Forbes
OF Hartford, Conn. a member of the
National Board; by John Martin, repre-
senting the Anti-Saloon League, and
by Rev. s. P Merrill. visiting clergy
man of Rochester. N Y.
Mr.. Martin drew graphic word pic
ture of the evils of intemperance in
Honolulu, telling of scenes he had
witnessed at some of the manufac-
tories and shipping offices on pay
days, when wives and children had to
leg for a portion of the wages to buy
food before it could go for drink. On
Hotel street he had seen as many as
ten Hawaiians at one time drinking in
Hfth-class license houses. There were
enough good people in Honolulu to put
down the worst of this if a concerted
effort were made. The coming year,
with the elections in sight, was to be
an important one for the temperance
cause here, and unless a vigilant cam
paign be made we will see here open
saloons on Sundays.
The drink traffic of Honolulu or of
any other place can not be put down
by prayer alone, nor by any amount of
talking at select meetings. This was
he nf -
short talk, in which he advised the
temperance workers to get busy. He
had followed and worked in temper
ance movements for fifty years and
was qualified to give advice. The
sentiment here favored the license sys-
tenn and the way an Improvement
could be brought about was in be-
coming thoroughly conversant with
the liquor law and to watch carefully
all petitions sent in for licenses. keep
guard to see that the hours of closing
and the sale restrictions were COM
piled with. Few saloon keepers kept
within the pale of the law and dill
gence would show ways to prosecute.
Every charge laid should be backed
up by clear evidence, and pushed. Sa-
loon keepers were in the business for
profit and there must be lots of profit
for them in the tremendous prices
charged here. To fight the traffic was
q loss financially for reformers, max
ing the temperance cause one of pure
philanthropy
President Mrs J. NJ Whitney ex-
planned that five hundred copies Of the
present liquor law were being printed
as campaign literature. footnotes ano
explana tions being added to the self
condemnatory document.

At the New York State Assembly of
Mothers, prominent New York doctor
told the 500 women present that healthy
American women were so rare as to be
almost extinct.
This seems to be sweeping state
ment of the condition of American
women. Yet how many do you know
who are perfectly well and do not have
some trouble arising from a derange-
ment of the female organism which
manifests itself in headaches, back
aches nervousness, that bearing-down
feeling, painful or irregular periods,
pelvic catarrh, displacement of the
female organs indigestion or sleep1ess-
ness? There is tried and true remedy
for all these ailments. Lydia E. Pink
hams Vegetable Compound has re-
stored more American women to health
than all other remedies in the world.
1t regulates, strengthens and cures
diseases of the female organism as
nothing else can. For thirty years it
has been curing the worst forms of
female complaints.
Such testimony as the following
should be convincing.
Mrs. T. C. Willadsen, of Manning.
Ia, writes:
Dear Mrs Pinkham
81 can truly say that you have saved my
life and cannot express my gratitude to you
in words. For two years spent lots of money
in doctoring without any benefit for female
irregularities and l had given up all hopes OF
ever being well again, but I was persuaded to
try Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound
and three bottles have restored me TO perfect
health. Had it not been for you l would
have been in my grave to-day"

Spouse to a request of a member of
the parade committee to discuss a pro-
posed Fiesta Number in March,
which would be devoted to exploiting

THE PROMOTION CAR.
Owing to the Won Hamm- Young gar
age having no car with a speedometer
attached, Mr.. Young. who had offered
the Promotion committee a car to lead
the parade tomorrow, was compelled
to withdraw his first offer and sub
stitute his own car, which he said he
was to drive himself, and he would be
glad to accommodate members of the
committee. His machine had speedo-
meter. 1t was agreed that the SUBJ
stitute offer be accepted and Messrs.
Wood and Fred. L. Waldron will oc-
cupy seats therein. This car will head
the parade and will hold the speed
of all the autos down to seven-and-a-
half miles per hour. Mr. Waldron re-
ported that all plans to entertain the
New Zealand football players today
had been perfected.

Secretary Wood reported that a ca
blegram sent by him for the commit
tee to the See America First con-
vention in Salt Lake on January 25
