tinctly an epoch in their lives. Not ona

derstands how to properly care for her.
self. OF course nearly every woman
nowadays has medical treatment at
such times, but many approach tho
experience with an organism untitled
for the trial of strength, and when it
is over her system has received a shock
from which it is hard to recover. Fol.
lowing right upon this comes the ner.
vous strain of caring for the child, and
a distinct change in the mother results.
There is nothing more charming than
a happy and healthy mother of children,
and indeed childbirth under the right
conditions need be no hazard to health or
beauty. The unexplainable thing is that,
with all the evidence of shattered nerves
and broken health resulting from an I'm.
prepared condition, and with ample time
in which to prepare, women will persist
in going blindly to the trial.
Every woman at this time should RELY

Hilles Holds Long
Session With Taft at
White House TOday

Immediately upon his arrival in
Washington this morning Charles u.
Hilles, chairman of the Republican
national committee. went direct to the
White House and remained in confer
ence with the President for several
hours.
The President cancelled his engage
ment list and did not go to the execu-
tive Offices until 1t was time for the
Cabinet to assemble at IL o'clock.
When Mr.. Hilles left the White
House to go to the Capitol for a con-
ference with Republican members OF
Congress he announced that George r
Sheldon had been selected as treasur-
er of the national committe. Mr.
Sheldon held this position four years
ago.
The delay in naming a treasurer has
prevented the accumulation of funds
and the national committee is now
short of money.
Mr. Hilles said there was no truth
in the statement that he had come
here to force Republican members oi
Congress to declare their preference
for Taft or Roosevelt
He said he came to Washington a.

Senate Committee on
Panama Canal Bill Is
Against Taft's Plan

Decided opposition developed today in
the Senate Committee on the Panama
Canal to the plan of the President to
have a resolution put through Congress
supplemental to the canal bill providing
that nothing in the bill shall AFFECT the
rights OF parties under the Hay-Paunce-
fote treaty and for adjudication OF con-
troversies arising there under in the
Supreme Court.
The committee held short meeting
which was interrupted by the call for
a quorum in the Senate. Another meet
ing will be held late this afternoon. Al
that time 1t Is expected definite action
will be taken on the recommendation
of the President. However. the indica-
tions are the friends the resolution
cannot get a favorable report.
Several Senators in the committe ee
today expressed the view that the pro-
posed resolution was useless and idle
that the bill was either in violation
of the treaty or not in violation of It.
and that IT was not worth while &c
do as the President advised. as they
did not think this would have any
good effect.

STOLE TO GIVE HIS
GIRL A GOOD TIME
Shoe Clerk Explains Why He Sold
Goods To Second Hand
Dealer.

That old, old story of masculine self
sacrifice to satisfy the whims of a
woman again found its way into the
records of the Police Court today,
when nineteen-year-o William Nc
Dougal, a shoe clerk, was tried for
stealing nineteen pairs of shoes from
his employers, Burt & Co, of f street.
II wanted to take my girl around
like the other fellows and show her a
good time. That's why stole" plead
ed the young man when asked why
he took the shoes. She wants to go
to places of amusement just the same
as other girls. l wanted her to go
and, of course, will have to take the
consequences"
McDougal refused to divulge the
name of hi sweetheart, declaring
that he did not want her to know of
his plight.
Judge Aukam was told that the
clerk had APPARENTLY been an indus
trious and honest employe until he
started taking the shoes. The court
imposed a fine of IS in each case, in
default of which the culprit will serve
fifteen days in jail for each offense.

CRIPPLE LURED HERE
BY FALSE PROMISE
Told He Would Be Given Pair oil
Artificial Legs-Taken to
Charities Home.

Induced to come to Washington on the
promise that he would be given a pair
OF artificial limbs, Charles Mitchell, a
legless cripple. is being cared for today
by the District Board OF Charities.
Mitchell. who is thirty-five years old
and a native of Poland, lost his legs in a
mining accident in West Virginia some
months ago. both members being cut of
just below the knee. After his recovery
he was sent to the almshouse at King
wood, w. Va, as he had no relatives
in this country to look after him.
Late last night Mitchell hobbled off a
train at Union Station. and crawled
through the gates to where a policeman
was standing.
"A man was going to meet me here
and give me a new pair of legs" said
the cripple.
A search was made of the station in
an effort to find the man who was sup
posed to have met Mitchell. and shortly
after midnight he was sent to a public
lodging house. According to Mitchell s
story. he was given a ticket to Wash
lpgton. and told that when he got on
the train here he would be met by a
man who would give him a pair of legs
and take care of him.

BRITISH CHARGE
TALKS WITH TAFT
ABOUT CANAL BILL
President Confident Test
Cases in Supreme Court
Will Be Allowed.

For the third consecutive day the
President and his Cabinet again today
discussed the Panama canal bill.
Just before the Cabinet members ar
rived at the White House, the Presi-
dent held a conference with A. Mitchell
Innes, charge daffaires of the British
embassy. who outlined the attitude OF
Great Britain regarding the clause In
the measure which will permit the free
passage of American ships through the
canal.
The President reiterated to the en-
voy that he believed Congress would
accede to his wishes, expressed In q
special message yesterday, and supple
ment the bill by a Joint resolution
which would allow foreign nations to
test the legality of the bill by suits ir
United States courts.
Mr.. Taft deems joint resolution IL
the only assurance that can be made
to make other governments certain o.
the spirit of fairness on the part OF
this country in regard to the Hay.
Pauncefote treaty.
The President has let 1t be known
that he is anxious to sign the bill just
as soon as II reached him, but he wants
the pledge of the legislators that they
" illenact the joint resolution to make
the treaty rights good.
Members OF the Senate and House
who have conferred with Mr.. Taft have
told him that he would have little diff
Guilty in getting Congress to side with
him In this matter
Mr.. Innes, as he was leaving the
White House, declined to discuss the re.
suit OF his conference, and also de.
clined to say what is the attitude o.
Great Britain since Congress has passed
the bill allowing American ships free
passage through the canal.

In return for this, the city takes over
the title to the building, pays off the

$500, include the raising of the roof
distance of six feet, and the construc-
ton of a second floor. The, first floor
will be divided off into a company room,
quartermaster's storeroom, lockers,
gymnasium. and shower baths. The

room. \ steam heating plant will also
be installed. Speiden & Speiden, archi-
