TELL Them | AM OUT"
Chicago Women Complain That They
Were Mistreated by Legislators.

Chicago, April 13.-Several senators
and congressman are going to receive
letters of commentator for the con-
sideration with which they treated the
Chicago delegation of women who have
just returned from bearing the tariff
protest to Washington, and several are
going to receive missives of an entirely
different character.
Four displeased women are dissent

They ducked when they saw us
coming-that describes their official
moves. They ducked." So Mrs E. M.
Henderson describes the department OF
the members when the women wander

whom they might address.
Chairman Payne of the ways and
means committe gave orders: When
those women come here from Chicago,
tell them 1 am out That is the way
we were to be received by him. But it
happened when we were going past the
door of the committee room Congress
man Payne himself came running out
on his way to the elevator.
He saw us coming with Congress-
man Foss, and he tried to take to the
tall timber, but he was too late. Mr.
Foss called to him that there were
some women whom he would be de-
lighted to meet, and he had to stand
fire then.
Speaker Cannon, when we saw him

ODinion

In recent issue of this paper DR..
Mott. whose fame is matter of ma
tlonal recognition, stated that there
was no cure for badness An opin-
ion which is evidently not shared by
all, otherwise the existence of numer-
GUS concerns that advertise to cure
badness, to put hair on a billiard ball,
ETC., would be imperilled. What Dr.
Mott did state, as reference to the is
sue containing his statements will cor
roborate, was that he had never seen
in all of the thousands of cases which
have passed under his notice, one in
stance where the disease of badness
had been cured. But he did state as
well that he cheerfully admitted that
there were remedies that would re-
store gray hair to the color of youth,
and that there were Hair Tonics
which would encourage the growth of
hair. cure dandruff and the ordinary
diseases of the scalp, he referred par
Q-Ban Hair Tonic. DR.. Mott states
that he will give to any charitable in
stitution named $1,000 on receipt of
any authentic proof showing that hair
has ever been put on a bald head
where the roots were dead. Since his
last statement the druggists have in
general laid in supply Of QBan Hair
Restorer and Tonic. Any one who
wants to win the $1,000 that the doc
tor offers. may send a letter to Q. B.
Dept, Memphis, Tenn. He states, and
any druggist will indorse the state
ment. to the effect If six bottles of O.
Ban Hair Restorer fails in a single
instance to change gray hair to nat

six bottles and the result is not as
claimed, letter written to DR.. Mott
will bring back the money expended
and that If a six-bottle lot of the tonic
