TALKS TO WOMEN
ON SOCIAL EVIL
Chief Biggy Is Asked Pointed
Questions While Before
California Club

Chief of Police Biggy. in a very seri-
Gus talk to the women of the Calffor-
MIA club yesterday afternoon, men
toned the fact that no womanefs al
lowed to enter the side door of a saloon
in this city. This statement was duly
applauded until DIR. Minore Kfbbe. who
is untiring advocate OF women's
shouldn't If men could. Biggy courte-
ously responded that women, like men,
could use the front door.
Then there is really nothing to pre-
vent us from going into saloons If we
want to-" said a small voice from the
rear of the hall. which belonged to a
gentle little listener. She was only a
disinterested seeker after information,
but there was merry burst of laugh
ter as she sat down.
The civic section Of the California
club met to discuss the subject of the
social evil yesterday and handled their
unsavory problem quite frankly. The
causes that lead girls to choose lives
that are not good were forcibly put
before the club by J. c. Astredo, who
has worked over the problem for Is
years in this city.
The situation does not call for legis-
Iation," said Astredo, FOR there are
plenty OF laws already. It's question
of supplying something better than
what they do now for our young people
in this city. It's a question of educat-
ing them to a standard of personal
decency."
LAWS COVER SITUATION
Astredo asked Biggy quite frankly
what would happen II the people of
San Francisco should demand the en-
forcing Of the laws that new exist.
These cover the entire situation, as
they forbid the renting, occupancy and
ownership OF disorderly houses
Il recognize the fact that those laws
exist" said Chief Biggy, "but they can
not be enforced in this or any other
city We are doing what we can with
the problem. but frankly it will never
come to the enforcing OF those laws
Much could be done by attacking the
liquor side of the question, and If you
ladies wish to undertake that or any
thing else, the pleasure is mine.''
GIVES APPALLING STATISTICS
Austin Lewis gave the audience ap-
palling statistics as to the extent and
size of the evil, and confirmed what
the other speakers had already stated
that only by establishing the great
class of working women upon an inde-
pendent economic footing can this evil
be lessened. Good hours, good pay and
wholesome amusement for the growing
girls of today, he asserted. would be
powerful factors in reducing this ele-
ment ofaa city's life.
You can't upset this sort of thing
by mere legislation any more than YOU
can the liquor trade or any other i'm
mense institution said Lewis. you
must get at the roots and prevent II
for the next generation, not for this
The audience was not a large one
but in 1T were several prominent work
ers in this cause. Among those pres
ent were Mrs. Horace Coffin. Mrs
Laura Bride Powers, Mrs. Jean Sin
clair, Mrs. E. L. Baldwin, Mrs. Arthur
Cornwall, Mrs. r. Thompson, Miss Mary
Conley, Miss Ellen Bartlett Mrs e. K

ers. it is said, may result, but there

At the investigation the teachers
were practically unanimous in declar-
ing that the special examination was

ing personal inquiry in 10 different

the board found that Fergusons ex-

Red Cross Christmas Stamps.

The Red Cross stamp about which we
are hearing lot at this season of the
year will not carry any kind of mail
but. any kind of mail will carry the
stamp That is to say, it is scheme
for selling these stamps in order to
raise morey for the war against tu-
berculosis now being carried on under
Red Cross auspices, and the stamp it
self simply carries notice of good
will and an assurance to all who see it
that something has been done in behalf
of a worthy cause by the one who pur-
chased it and affixed it to the letter.
The Red Cross is an organization which
las the confidence of all civilized ma
tons and its work in behalf of humani
tx has been done along many lines and
in many lands It, stands at the head
Of practical philanthropic I. organiza
tions.
These particular stamps are sold for
a cent each and are bought by every
body anG stuck upon whatever is go
ing The public is making kind of a
fad out of them and as result a
stream of pennies is pouring into the
treasury of the organization to help
carry on the tuberculosis war. The
notion was developed at Christmas
time in Denmark several years ago
when a stamp was brought out for this
same purpose. The work has gone on
ever since in that country and the
sales of the stamps have doubled each
year. No doubt many of us will now
be receiving letters bearing this stamp
with its message of holiday cheer and
good will, and we should see to it that
not all of these stamps are upon our
incoming mail.

Arkansas Jurisprudence.

There are sometimes queer doinSs in
our American courts. but the quecrest
thing which has come to our attention
of late happened down in Arkansas
where q man was being tried upon the
charge Of murder. One of the jurors
was Il negro, ard, inspired by the trad
itional superstition of his race, he de-
mandGd that the "vodOo test be ap-
Piled to the case on trial. He declared
that the suspected mans gun would
sweat blood at TIE muzzle'' if 1t were
discharged in the presence of the Jury.
The test was made and the suspected
man watche d the ceremony in an agony
Of fear. After the gun was discharged
the prisoner, mistaking rust for the
sweat" on the gun. plunged a knife
INTO his neck and died.
1t is almost unbelievable that in this
day and age such hideous farce could

story is told in the news dispatches as

people to read that such an incident
had occurred in Russia or in some 9TH

graduate themselves that here in the
New World we are "civiizcd" 10 a
l.oint where every man can have Il fair

Arkansas is near the heart of the CON

WHAT CAUSES DYSPEPSIA
And incidentally Constipation, Coated
Tongue, Nervousness, Headache,
and Other Symptoms. rs

Did you ever know that the stomach
is a churn? That just as soon as you
are done eating, the healthy stomach
commences to roll the food around,
and mikes it thoroughly with the
juices of the stomach?
And did you know, dear reader, that
if the stomach is run down or f1abby.
so that it cannot do the churning, that
dyspepsia is the result?
If the food is not churned, it lays
heavily, on your stomach, turns sour,
and causes all kinds of distressing
symptoms, such as headache, coated
tongue, constipation, etc.
- And so, al every physician will tell
you, the way to cure dyspepsia is to
fix the churn, or in other words, build
up the stomach so7that it will properly
mix the feod
If you have dyspepsia and want to
get rid of it before it gets rid of you,
go to Bowditch & Webster's The
druggists, and get large box Of
Mi-o-na tablets. The cost is only so
cents, and every reader Of the journal
is welcome to his or her money back

The End of the Tobacco War.

Some sort of a compromise has been
made down in Kentucky by which the
tobacco war is ended, or at least by
which a trace has been declared, and
consequently the night riders are tax
ing an indefinite vacation. This vii
no doubt he a great relief to those Sec
tons of the Blue Grass State where
lawlessncss has been reigning supreme
for many months and where there has
beer small respect for human life and
much less for property. 1t would be
a great thing for Kentucky if there
could be assurance that the peaceful
conditions would continue for years t.
come. with the tobacco growers al
lowed to raise their tbocco in peace
and 20 harvest and sell the same
without interference.
The night rider war has been one Of
the most curious strikes in our history
and it would have attracted no more
attention than many other industrial
disturbances had it not been for the
peculiarly southern methods OF certain
parties who thought they could put d
price upon tobacco and maintain it
The night riders had certain rights t.
maintain and good arguments in be
half Of their cause, but their lawless
methods caused them to forfeit al
public sympathy. The general public
knew little and cared less about the
ethical rights and wrongs of the con-
troversy. but everybody regretted that
civilization should be made a laughing
stock and the forces of law and order
set at naught in such a fine old state
as Kentucky.

VOICES or THE PRESS.
The Revision of the Tariff From the
Southern Standpoint.
ATLANTA Constitution.)

The whole burden Of the demand
upon the committee, with the single
notable exception of that. of Claus
Sprcckels. one of the sugar barons.
who for reasons of his own has urged
that the duty bes taken off sugar. has
been for increased tariff charges.
The singular and significant feature
is that much of this demand for high
er duties, so far as the hearings have
progressed. comes from the South
the Democratic tariff-for -revcnue-o only
South.
The rice interests, the tobacco inter
estS. the citrus fruit interests and 9th
crs from the Southern states who have
gone to Washington to have their little
tariff say. have universally and with
one accord demanded increased duties
on the products they represent.
