Washington, April T.--Repressnt-

gro three years ago enlisted in the U.
/ i. Amy hospital Corps. Meeting a
young white girl, he won her afIec-
tons. Following an estrangement be-
I Seea The white girl and the mulatto,
lie muIatto and his black Wife, who
did not sppear in Il e case until few
DAYS ago, attempted to biackmail the
white girl by threatening to ruin her
among her friends. Such Is the story
brought out by the girls appeal to the
Washington police, who, because the
c ase IVES settled out of court, refuse to
divulge the names of the principals.
The young woman, who is pretty
and bout "A years old, called at one
o. BE precinct stations asst night and
appealed to the officer in charge TO
protect her frcm the blacks. She told
her story a. follows:
II met this man about year ago,
before HE enlistment in the hospital
Couls was out. lie was thea a no q
commissioned officer. He asked per
mission to call on me, and after talk
inV-to him for while he told me that
he belonged To good family in the
southwestern part Of the country, and
limited that he had let his home when
quite "a boy His story was very plausi-
bile. After ne had called apon ne sew
eral times we became attached to each
other, and he gave me his photo
graph. Then came quarrel and did
not see him for some time.
"1magine my distress when yester-
day a coal black negress appeared nj
my house, and calling for me, de-
manded that / relinguish her hus-

anything about her husband until she
told his name, and then the whole
terrible truth dawned upon me.
az was powerless to comply with
the request, for when ] went to search

then threatened to lgo to my friends
and expose the fact that | had nearly
married a negro-and a negro with
black wife at that.
The police official had no authority
to arrest the man, but he sent for him.
When the negro arrived, he was pu
through course of sprouts. He looked
like a white man and would probably
deceive the casual observer. The POI
lice official plainly said to him, that,
in enlisting in the Hospital Corps as a
white man, he had committed perjury
and that unless he ceased his per
secution of the young woman he would
be arrested.
"If ever hear Of you SO much as
looking at a girl again. said the
police officer, who is from Virginia,
an send you to the penitentiary, and
do my best to get your wife a Jail SEN
tence."
And SO another of the many striking
cases which rarely see the light of day
was settled out of court.

Earthenware Cooking Utensils

GOOD FOOD and good cook are not enough to
produce good meal Much depends the vessels in
which the food prepared The best pure food
unwhoesome if prepared in vessel that is scrupul-
ously clean This the chief difficulty with tim iron
enameed vessels Not only does the food easily
after the vessels have been for time there is
always more less dsagreeable odor coming from the
bottom no matter how they are secured and cleaned.
This difficulty becomes positive danger to health
when the enamel, which contains arsenic antmony and
lead begins crack and chip off These posons
orbed by the foods particularly fruits and vegetables
and often lead to chronic stomach trouble and other all
ments, for which there is apparent explanation.
For these DOCTORS we'll teachers do m
este science have been for recommending the
wholesome and subject of the objections which
obtain against metal utensils.
Woman's Magazine says: 1.-The flavor or food baked or
boiled in earthenware far superior to that of vegetable
animal food cooked in the iron vessels for
that iron conductor of heat while earthen
nonconductor Consequently food cooked in the
latter is rarely burned the degree of heat not
ing the flavor Of the food as well as uniformity through
the substance of rhe vegetable grain until
the process of cooking is completed
The best earthenware vessels have heretofore .been
imported from Germany and sold at high price For
years American manufacturers have been trying pro-
duce satisfactory cooking utensils from ordinary clay but
without practical results
In our SANITo we have solved the problem and
able to offer to American housewives strictly Amer
lean product, fully to the German Ware popular in
other countries. ware, produced by skillful
blending Of cays is mechanically perfect of convenient
sizes and shapes for all ordinary purposes and can be sold

Doctors, hospitals sanarums, and thousands of pro-
gressve housekeepers this exclusively Its clean
illness and wholesomeness makes its especially valuable in
preparing food for the sick while for all general cooking
purposes should dispace unwhoesome and dangerous
metal vessels
The fact that SANITo is n-conducter of heat makes
il economical than other 1t retains heat
much better than metal that after has been
