Mra George F. Lowell, of Newton. is being congratulated for having proved that the mothers of Boston are the parents of their own children. The other day a meeting of the parents of children attending the Rfndge TechnI- cal School in Cambridge was called for the purpose of organizing parents association. Two thirds of the at. tendance was. made up of mothers. The principal of the school appointed a nominating committee to draw up a list of officegs. All the mem bers of tn 6 committee were men and they nomi- hated e board of fifteen men.
 After their report had been read one of the men in the audience asked if mothers we're not parents. and suggest d that if they were at least Ave of the board should be mothers. The principal very politely replied that the mothers always got whatever they wanted. and that if by chance they should ever wish to make suggestions he vas sure the board would be glad to listen to them. The women in the audienc sat mute and the men made no reply
 At fast Mrs. Lowell. who has a son attending the RindGs School screwed up suffcient courage to raise and urge that half of the board be women. Her little speech brought forth such hearty applause that the nominating commit tee was asked to retire and draw up a second list on which mothers and fath ers should be equally represented.

 The California Assembly has voted 3s to s7 in favor of full suffrage for women According to the suffrage pa pers those thirty-seven who opposed suffrage are men marked never to be returned if the women of California can prevent it.
 One man gave as his reason for vot- ing against the bill his Arm belief that voting tended to degrade the voter pro. vided that the voter was a woman. An other went a step further and declared that voting would not only degrade women voters, but their children and their families as well. Others declared that family strife was bound to be in- creased, and as a consequence divorces more common. Yet another sOlemnly asserted that women would repeal all the present laws to change conditions which they df Ot understand. They

home OF Miss Hazel LaRue, 52S Tru-
man avenue The club is composed of
young ladies in the senior class of the

casionally for pleasant social evening.
The party last evening was one of the
pleasantest of the club year and was
thoroughly enjoyed by the few invited
guests. The LaRue residence was bril-
liantIy lighted with Chinese lanterns
and other appropriate decorations were
used to ad dto the attractiveness of the
rooms. Chinese incense and punk were
kept burning TO give still further
Oriental distinction to the party. The

Times AID Sells It.

Again THE TIMES has been demon
strated to be a good advertising medi-
um John Glennon of the Hotel Ma
jestic conceived the idea that Accent
business mems lunch would make a
hit.
He made it a table d'hote dinner, with
a soup, relish, fish or oysters, meat,
vegetables, desert and coffee, and he
realized that with layout like that
all he would have to do would be to let
the people know about it.
He of course selected THE TIMES, as
he knew that it not only has the larg-
est circulation in Hammond but also
circulates among the people of East
Chicago, whiting, Indiana Harbor, Gary
and dozen other cities from where
people come to Hammond to transact
business. a
He wrote clever a9Nn which the
tempting menu he offers was displayed
and the result was immediate. Not
only was the number of business men
who lunch at the Majestic larger, but
they all wanted to know how it could
be done for 40 cents.

Woman Her Own Bank.

The extraordinary manner in which
large sums of money are carried about
or boarded by the French people is
illustrated by the case OF woman at
Clermont (Oise), of whose effects an
inventory was taken on her removal
to an asylum. In the pocket of her
petticost were found bank notes to
the value of G4,400 and a check on
the Bank of France for 9a,0S0.

MORE FACTS ABOUT
THE NEW TREATMENT
No Use Dosing Stomach if
Fermentation in
Intestines.
PEPSIN IS NOT DEPENDABLE
Pepsin Useful on Rare Occasions Can
not Remedy Fermentation and
Formation of Gas.

1t has been pointed out recently that
pepsin is Intellectual in an alkaline
medium, and that the intestines are al
ways alkaline. 1t has furthermore
been proven that, since most obstruc-
ton and poisonous fermentation oc-
ours in the intestines, the effectuaf use
of pepsIn Is limited TO that state of
gastric insufficiency in which the in
testines have not yet had time to be-
come infected Inasmuch as the food
passes directly from the stomach into
the sntestines. and inasmuch as fer
mentatiol sets up at once in an impure
or improperly mixed chyme, the cases
in which pepsin is of service art com
paratively rare. After the poisons set
to work in the intestines, pepsin Is
valueless. On the other hand, any good
alkaline elixir or neutralizlng mixture
will, If properly compounded. at once
stimulate the tardy gastric juices, stop
the fermentation and the formation of
poisonous gases in the intestines
The following formula has been sug-
gested as making an excellent antacid
of the kind in question: Half ounce
sodium phosphate. one ounce essence
of sealmint. half teaspoonful OF good
baking soda. enough water to make
eight ounces: Dose: two teaspoonsful
before each meal
This neutralIzing mixture. it has
been claimed, will relieve Immediately,
and win eventually cure. II ought to
cost about so or IS cents. You can
mix it up for yourself. or have your
druggist make it up for you.
