POLICE WOMEN NEEDED.
Mrs. Hewitt. However, Would Not
Dispense With the Men.

New York. April 12.-Mrs. Edward r.
Hewitt, president of the Woman's Munic-
ipal League. would like to have n few
women on the police force, but doesn't
think that the time for the elimination of
the male policeman has vet arrived. She
was talking to the Woman's Republican
Club in Delmonico's yesterday morning
about Clause 80 and the evils with
which it is associated when someone ask
ed if many of these evils wouldn't vanish
like dew before the sunshine under the
influence of women police.
Mrs. Hewitt responded that there
We're occasions when u man-'yes. Il
mere man"--eould handle Il situation
better than woman because he has
Il strong right arm.
There was one place. however"
she continued, where women police
would be useful. That is in the rail-
road stations and ferry terminals
The Travellers Aid Society. of course
has done valuable work along these
lines, but one of the members told
me that the society was often ham
pered by lack of police authority. a
runaway girl often cannot be induced
to go back home until the Travellers
Aid officer calls in a policeman. Brass
Buttons have great weight with a
certain class Of people, you know.
Now, if the Travellers Aid officer
hal Il little brass button of her own
to show it would be great con-
venience.'
Mrs. Hewitt also had a few words
to say about women who dabble in
socia, problems.
Women should not play with these
matters" she said. Unless they
mean to study them seriously they
should let them alone. for they do
much harm if they have only su-
perfcal knowledge. Nor have we any
business using these serious menaccs
to society for our own amusement in
PLAYS and theatres. The Woman's Mu-
nicipal League made a long and Sc
riouS study of actual conditions be-
fore our report on Clause 70. was
made. Even then we could give only
a qualified report. But Magistrate
Corrgan, who has got the goods (par
don me, but we all use slang some
times). said to me that our report
was the best thing he had ever read
on the social evil"

HAS PATCHED-UP SPINE.
Rare Operation Saves Life of a Mount
Vernon Policeman.

New York, April 12.-Patrolman Pas
quale j. Ruffalo of Mount Vernon,
who was shot through the spine dur
ing II saloon brawl in Mount Vernon
three months ago, is now at his home
in North Sixth avenue, in that city,
following the unusual operation which
was performed on him. IT consisted
of stitching together two-thirds of the
spinal cord which had been shot away
and sewing up the envelope which
covers the cord.
The surgeons at the hospital mar
yelled at the recovery of the police
man, because he was seized with par
alysis in the lower limbs. and it was
generally believed that he could not
live. Yet he was taken or wheel
ing chair yesterday from the hospital
to his home. All lie had to say was
that he was glad that he was home
with his family, declaring that he
did not like the hospital as a place
in which to live.
Rulfalo has feeling in the right leg,
but the physicians say it is doubtful
if he ever will be able to walk again.

Next Thrown Out and Hurt.

New York. April 12.-Patrolman Phelan

Safe Treatment for Headache.

The rational treatment for headache
is to get at the cause, if possible, and
remove it. Headache is only symp-
tom of trouble somewhere in the sys-
tenn, and dosing with tablets or powders
containing acetanilid or other coal-tar
derivatives which stop the pain tempo
rarily but weaken the heart, is at once
unsafe and unwise. The headache may
come from your eyes, then good ocu-
list can help you at once with proper
eyeglasses; but If it comes with furred
tongue, loss of appetite, nausea, and
constipation, it is usually the result
of disordered digestion, or torpid liver,
and one or two doses of L. F. Atwood S
Medicine will speedily help you by
carrying off impurities and restoring
the clogged digestive organs to their
normal activity. In using this old re-
liable remedy, you take no chances of
weakening the hearts action.
It has record Of sixty years as a
safe headache remedy. The Il. F.H
