NO CABINET MEETING -
TEDDY HAS PHOTOS TAKEN

explanation the executive told his ad-
visers not to wait, but to come around
again next day. Then he donned his
riding clothes, telephoned the photog-
rapher, called for Captain Fitzhugh
Lee, and hurried to the riding course
at Rock Creek park.
For more than an hour the president
rode gracefully in front of the pho
tographer, usually leaping his horse
over hurdles. Some splendid mega
tives were obtained and Mr.. Roosevelt
feels more than justified in postponing
the cabinet meeting.
One pose in particular, where the
president is smiling as he sits on his
horse while going over a hurdle, il
deemed good enough to have warrant

The children insert the s~tudious
disposition of their father. The oldest
daughter, Helen, led her classes in the
cathedral school, from which she
graduated last year, and now is pre-
pairing for Bryn Mawr college.
Robert AlphOnso, the eldest,f now

expects to adopt the hereditary occu-

course two years ago at Oxford in
English law and history.
Charles P. Taft, youngest of the
family is named for his rich newspa-
per uncle in Ohio. At the Force pub
lie school in this city, he sits beside
his crony, Quentin Roosevelt. He
knows what he will be when he grows
up-a soldier in the army. He plans
to go to West Point as soon as dad
will let him.
Secretary Taft Is not a nan Of
wealth. He has always had to live on
his salary, and a s~ecretary's salary
does not go far in Washington.

are able to select their friends from
among the most interesting people,
and their fondness for music has
brought them in touch with musicians

How to Clean Paint Brushes.

So many people renovate their own
houses now, and repaint and touch up
their garden ratings, that the follow
ing hint may be of some use. When
you have finished painting put your
brushes into a stone pot in which you
have melted some soft soap and soda
in a little boiling water. Whisk the
brushes round and round in this;
change the water, add more soap and
soda, and so on until the brushes are
clean; rinse them in warn water, and
leave them standing in cold water I'M
til you wish to use them again. If
they have become dry and hard, rinse
them In t%urpentine before washing
them.

CDR. Anita Newcomb MCGEE IS the one
woman in this country who has held a
commission as an officer of the United
States army. During the Spanish-Amer-
lean war, as director Of the hospital corps
organized by the Army and Navy chapter
Of the Daughters OF the American fevo-
luton, Of which society she was vice-pres-
ident-general, DR.. Niece was regularly
appointed assistant surgeon OF the army.
During the war she was constantly on
duty, visiting hospitals and battleheids IN
her capacity of director and supervisor OF
the army's raine nurses. She was
prominently connected with the Japanese
hospital service during the late war with
Russia. DIR. MCGEE studied abroad at
Cambridge and the University of Geneva.
She was graduated from Columbia uni
yersity of Washington in 1889. Later she
took a special course at Johns Hopkins
hospital. She is a fellow of the American
Association for the Advancement OF
Science.)
An army has always Two parts.
One part is the actual fighters, who
work, suffer and die and at h end
receive all the glory. The other part
is those who provide for the fighters.
They also work and suffer and die,
but at the end they are ignored and
afterward forgotten.
There are naturally very few wom-
en- who have achieved glory in the
fighting part of an army, though the
amazons are we'll known and Semira-
mis-. Zenobia and Jeanne dare were
commanders of armies. In former
times, however, many a mn con-
cealed her sex and took her place in
the ranks as a man, though, from the
nature of the case, not many OF their
names are known. Among those who
enlisted in our revolutionary army
were Deborah Sampson, Elizabeth
Canning and Molly Macauley, and the
last-named won the grade OF sergeant
before being discovered. 1t has been
estimated that during u civil war no
less than 400 women contrived by
some means or other to enlist as SOL
diers. The most recent instance of
fighting women was in the Transvaal
war VIXEN many a burgher's wife han
died a weapon at his side and many
were taken prisoners, some Of them
being dressed as men 1t is quite
CONNER for the royal women of Eu-
rope to-day to hold honorary commits
sions, generally as colonies, and al
though not expected to take command
in time of actual war, they do wear
their uniforms and ride with their
troops on occasions Of ceremony.
But, after all, the true story o.
women in armies relates to their part
in providing and caring for the fight
ers. The present elaborate organiza-
ton of armies is Of comparatively re-
cent growth, and originally the
greater part of the cooking and of the
nursing of soldiers was done by their
hardy female relatives. who wore as
well able as themselves to bear the
fatigues of the campaign. 1t is al
ways easier to procure a new soldier
than it is to cure IN who is sick Or
wounded, and the humane medical
corps, as one of the departments OF
an army, was u growth of the last
century. During the middle ages the
care of the sick was largely left to

General Breakdown Caused by Def1-
Client Blood Quickly Corrected by
This Tonic Remedy.

A feeling of general weakness, poor
appetite, loss Of breath after the slight
est exercise and broken sleep are some
of the symptoms of general debility.
You may think that they have no relation
to each other and that you will worry
along, hoping all the time to feel better

of the symptoms is caused by bad blood,
which must be made pure and new
before health will be restored again. A
tonic treatment is necessary and for this
purpose there is no better remedy than
DR.. Williams Pink Pills.

number of fears from general debility
and Indigestion. I was never free from

shattered that the least excitement un-

without help, I read of DR.. Williams

MILK NOT ALONE RESPONSIBLE
Dealer Insists Contamination MAY
Be in Water, Too.
Says Physicians Blame Potomac
Water a. Bath for Cans, and Then
Drink Same Fluid.

A S Trundie. n local milk dealer. who
has followed closely the crusade against
typhoid fever. in speaking Of the respon-
sibility Of milk for the spread Of the
disease. yesterday afternoon said:
I attended meeting Of the Medical
Association last night and although I
am I'm no way capable OF making q scion-
tifc refutation Of the points brought out.
I was able 20 make a few deductions
which forced themselves on me. From
beginning to the end Of the meeting. the
great scourge in relation 10 the typhoid
germ was said 10 be milk. One Of the
strongest arguments mind you. I speak
only from the point OF view Of a practical
milk DEALER was that the wells and
streams in Upper Maryland and Virginia,
from which sections the milk comes, are
filled with the typhus germ.
IN some cases there have been found
p 900 bacteria to every fifteen drops. The
claim is that this water, used by the
farmers in washing the cans, is certain
TO leave a certain number of the bacteria
10 be mixed with the milk. That is no
doubt true. but when IL is considered that
all this water comes into the Potomac. 1
see no reason why at least part of this
contagion should not be laid to it. Then
we have the foulness Of the canal pour
ing into the river from the overfiows
which take place every 2o9 yards, and
which carry the fifth Of the canal into
the river from which we drink.
Another point is that. although all pre-
cautions has been taken with the milk in
this city. there has been more typhoid in
the past year than ever before. while in
the counties from which the milk comes
there is decidedly less. / contend that if
the filtration plant We're not taken as per
feet without any investigation and if its
methods were carefully looked into. the
typhoid situation would improve and the
milk dealers, who are making every eff
fort to sell pure milk, would not be looked
upon as spreaders Of disease.
at that plant the water Is allowed TO
run through six inches OF sand, and when
the sand has become clogged up It is
washed and put in use again. And this
same sand is taken from the bed OF the
river, and until it becomes clogged with
filth il receives all the contamination Of
the river, and its perfunctory washing
cannot Kill the bacteria.
II am confident IN the belief that the
milk which comes into Washington is
among its purest imports, and ] am GER
tain that results will prove IL So

Senator Elkins made a motion that the

different course. The court overruled the
motion, saying that it had been shown
that some sort Of contract existed be-
tween the parties 10 the suit; that it
seemed that Senator Elkins had promised
the men compensation Of some kind, and
that the question of credibility Of the
witnesses was one for the jury TO de-

prime duty and responsibility of the
church. and that in the present necessity
the negro clergy should be supplemented
by evangelists, catechists, teachers, Wis
tors and subordinate ministers who
shall give their chief attention to teaching
righteousness; and that the schools re
lated to the American Church Institute
for Negroes are, and of right ought to
be- the natural sources for the supply and
training Of men for this work"
Believing that the race problem can be
solved through the education and religious
advancement Of the negroes, the Episco-
pal leaders of the South have determined
TO undertake a movement in this direc-
ton. The conference will be continued
for several days. and definite plans laid
