Women suffragists Make Demonstra,
-. ton in London.
London, Jan. Is. The arrival of
the ministers at Downing street to at
tend the first meeting Of the cabinet
before the assembling of parliament
was made the occasion of public
demonstration by the women suf-
fragists. - . =:
The police anticipated trouble and
large force was present, but the
women succeeded in making their way
inside the residence of Premier Camp
bell-Bannerman and five arrests were
made before order was restored.
Some of the demonstrants adopted
a novel manner to prevent being car
ried off by the police. They had at
tached to their belts stout. chains
which, when they saw the police about
to lay hands on them, they quickly
threw around the iron railing in front
of the building. The police had to
break these chains by force before
they could get the women away.
The suffragists subsequently were
arraigned in the Bow street police
court. They refused to give sureties
for their good. behavior and were sent
to prison for three weeks.

Mrs. Thaw said she frequently asked
her son what was worrying him and
finally he declared that beautiful
young girl he was interested in had
had a terrible experience in New
York. The mother told him he should
not worry about such matters; that
the girl had a mother who should care
for her. Thaw replied that the girls
mother had not looked after her and
that was why it all had happened.
Harry Thaw eventually told his
mother the young girls name was

SAYS HUNDREDS OF. -. -.
PERSONS ARE RELIEVED
Tremendous Popularity Of Home Pres.
cription is Surprising Says
Local Druggist. ..s~..

That the readers of this paper
appreciate advice when given in
good faith is plainly demonstrated
by the fact that one well-known
local pharmacy supplied the ingred-
tents for the vegetable prescrip-
ton" many times within the past
two weeks. The announcement of
this simple, harmless mixture has
certainly accomplished much in
reducing the great many cases of
kidney complaint and rheumatism
here, relieving pain and misery,
especially among the older popula-
ton, who are always suffering more
more or less with bladder and
urinary troubles, backache and par
.ticularly rheumatism.
Another well-known druggist
asks us to continue the announce
ment of the prescription. 1t is
doing SO much real good here, he
continues, that it would be a crime
not to do So. It can not be repeated
to often, and further states many
cases of remarkable cures wrought.
The following is the prescription
of simple ingredients, making a
harmless, inexpensive compound,
which any person can prepare by
shaking well in a bottle: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Any frst-class drug store
will sell this small amount Of each
Ingredient, and the dose for adults
is one teaspoonful to be taken
after each meal and again at bedtime.
There is enough here to last for one
week, if taken according to direc-
tons. Good results will be appar-
ent from the first few doses.

A CHANGE FOR SOME WORTHY
 STUDENT

In this community, as in all others, there are doubtless many young music students who through lack of suffi- cient funds, find it impossible to go on with their musical training as they have hoped and dreamed of doing. They may be possessed of unusual tal- ent, which they are unable to culti- vate because of financial hindrances. It is a well-known fact that a great many figures in the musical world have been forced to depend upon free and partial scholarships for their higher training. Another salient fact is evident when we compare the num- Der of scholarships offered in the diff ferent branches of training in Ameri- can universities with those offered in the schools of music.
 The Chicago Musical college will next fall be located in it's new home, an elegant story building on Michigan Blvd, just below the Audi torium Annex. Its forty third year will see this. the largest school of mu- sic in America, in a better shape than ever to offer free scholarships. The college was 9 pioneer in this move ment. commencing in the eos by of fering one free scholarship and in creasing the number from year to year as the institution grew, until in the coming season beginning September 7th. forty-five free and one hundred and fifty partial scholarships have been set aside by the Board of Direct ors A free scholarship entities the holder to one school year of instruc- ton free of charge, and the partial
