Editor of The Virginian:
Strive will be much obliged II you will
give space to the enclosed clipping from the
New York Times of February 4th. Mrs Dodge
Is the national president of the Association OPP
familiar with the work IN all its branches
To the Editor of The New York Times:
Some of the suffragists in Washington, in
furiated at the strong arguments which Miss
Minnie Bronson presented before the con-
gressional committee last Friday evening. in
opposing woman suffrage, are circulating re-
ports that she Is in the pay Of . the liquor
she is receiving ever has received any pay
from any of the brewer. liquor, or saloon in
until the spring Of 1911 Miss Bronson was
either employed by the department of labor for
special Investigations in regard to child labor.
tor was engaged in special work in connection
with expositions in this country and abroad.
In 1911 she offered her services to us in our
lant-suffrage work, and later in my own
personal employ when she took charge of the
office of the Northern California Association
Opposed to Woman Suffrage When the Ma
tional association formed, she then re-
ceived salaried position, under that associa-
ton and the Massachusetts Association Opposed
to Woman Suffrage. During the past year, she
spoke in several States, especially in Ohio dur
amendment for Woman Suffrage was presented
TO the people. Since that time she has been
general secretary of the National association.
Certainly there is nothing to criticfse in
the fact that n self-supporting woman receives
salary for devoting herself to work which
requires her entire time, strength and ability.
Suffragists seem to be afraid of her. but
instead of attacking her in the open. possibly
because of the large body of influential and
prominent women who represent the National
association. they circulate rumors and insinu-
atoms as to her character, some of them of
a most despicabe kind the favorite one seems
to be similar to the accusations just made of
her connection with the liquor interests.
Surely, the fact that self-supporting women
who working and speaking against suf-
frage receive compensation is not repre-
hensibie. This reproach has been made against
some OF speakers, but do the suffragists
forget that many of their prominent leaders
receive pay, including the Rev Anna Shaw
Ida Hustled Harper, and Beatrice Forbes Rob-

RICHMOND AS A CONVENTION CITY.

Woo Instead of Wait.

Editor Of Virginian:
Sir.-In these days when the officers of the
Anti Saloon league OF Virginia have no local
option campaigns to occupy their time. it would
seem to be wise for them to change their
policy, and go wooing instead of waiting to
be wooed That is, they should seek to find
places throughout the country where they might
go and organize leagues instead Of waiting to
be sent for to to organize them If the
league of West Virginia had played the waiting
game they could never have won the splendid
victory OF last November.
Resolutions. looking to this change of policy
should be offered at the Roanoke convention
For we cannot afford to enter the campaign for
governor and house of representatives this fall
in dsorganized condition now are.
There is therefore. time to be wasted, but
our officers should be up and doing.

If KIDNEYS and
BLADDER BOTHER
TAKE A GLASS OF SALTS TO
FLUSH OUT YOUR KIDNEYS AND
NEuTRALTZE IRRITATING
ACIDS. %

p rEE -s. .N ..'.1 '@
Kidney and Bladder weakness result
from uric acid, says a noted authority.
The kidneys filter this acid from the
blood and pass 1t. on to the bladder,
where 1t often remains to irrttate and
inf1ame, causing a burning, scalding
sensation, or setting up an irritation at
the neck Of the bladder, obliging you to
seek relief two OF three times during
the night. The sufferer Is in constant
dread, the water passes sometimes with
a scalding sensation and is very pro-
fuse; again, there is difficulty in
avoiding it.
Bladder weakness, most folks call it,
because they can't control urination.
While 1t is extremely annoying and
sometimes very. painful, this is really
one Of the most simple ailments to
overcome. Get about four ounces of
Jad Salts from your pharmacist and
take a tablespoonful in a glass Of wa
ter before breakfast, continue this for
two or three days. This will n~eutralize
the acids in the urine so it no longer
is a source of irritation to the bladder
and urinary organs which then act
normally again.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless,
and Is made from the acid Of grapes
and lemon Juice, combined with lithia,
and Is used by thousands Of folks who
are subject to urinary disorders caus-
ed by uric acid irritations. -Jad Salts
is splendid for kidneys and causes no
bad effects Whatever.-Adyt.

! With FORGERY

Grand Forks Herald: When M. A.
Yoffey, arrested at Larimore Monday
night at $50 o'clock on complaint Of
the authorities at Valley City. Is ar
raigned there, he will have two charg-
es at least to answer, to according to
Deputy Sheriff Kelly, who took his
prisoner to the Barnes county town
yesterday.
Yoffey, according to the officer,
must face the original charge of hav-
ing obtained $40 from Atty. J. N. Eng
lert Of Valley City under false pretens-
es, and that of forgery in the second
degree, it being claimed that he forged
the name of the Fargo Iron & Metal
Works to a check for a similar
amount some days ago.
Check at Larimore.
Close following upon this revelation
comes the statement from Larimore
that a worthless check for $2C was
foated there by Yoffey on the evening

the Fargo company whose name, it is

acquaintance in Larimore, succeeded
in obtaining the money on Il,

Deputy Kelly, informs the authorities

association is back Of the prosecution.
Woman in Case.
There is a woman in the case, ac-
cording to advices from Larimore yes
terday. The morning train to that city
carried a. comely looking young won1~
an of the blonde type, who made in
quiry as to the whereabouts of Yoffey.
She had a confidential talk with the
accused man in the city jail, it Is stat
ed, and claims to be his wife. ;
Yoffey, when asked what he intend
I'd to do about the worthless check in
Lartmore, Is reported to have remark
ed, with apparent Indifference: ooh,
my dad will take care Of that ali
right" He claims that his home is in
a Minnesota town, across the river and
not far from Fargo, and that he has
plenty of money to clean up all he
owes. He processes innocence of the
crimes charged against him.
1t was remarked at Larimore that
the blonde woman, claiming to be his
wife, exhibited q good sized roll Of
bills. Parties who knew Yoffey denv
knowledge of his being married, and
state that until recently the woman
resided in this city. -

arrived in Grand Forks last evening

said Congressman Helgesen, the eff
fort on the part of the socialists to
make the action of the authorities in
the recent I. w. w. disturbances the
basis for demanding a recall,

practically impossible for the social

Asked as to his opinion regarding

and the house of representatives. Mr..
Helgesen said that he believed that

lTCHED FOR 20
YEARS, RESINOL
CURED IN 10 DAYS

Baltimore. Md, July 10, 1913.-
About twenty years ago both my legs
began to itch from ankle to knee. Lit
tie pinaples came out that looked very
muchslike heat. The itching and burn
ing was something terrible. I would
start to scratch and could not stop. I
would even scratch through the skin
n that Of course would leave a sore
which | was compelled to bandage.
Il tried several prescriptions and
treatments, but received not d particle
OF benefit--no more than il the treat
ments were cold water, I then began
to have very little faith in anything
and of course could do nothing but
scratch away. After suffering con-
stantly for twenty years, a friend rec
commended Resinol Soap and Resinol
Ointment. From the very first appii-
cation, / found relief, and was entirely
cured in ten days. The itching and
singing sensations have ceased and my
skin is as smooth as a child's.,' (Signed)

Grand Forks county within the next
ten days, the heifers to be distributed

by these gentlemen and the fact that
the new tariff leaves the gates open to
bringing them across the border with
out payment Of duty Is taken advan-

understood, Is in the neighborhood of

and bringing them across country to

1t Is expected that about ten days will
be required in bringing the herd here.
saddle ponies from the O'Connor and

In an interview with J. D. Bacon of

more stock n the growing of such
crops as corn and alfalfa. are to be
met in a manner which will place the
state In the very a Of agricultural
communities of the country.
Mr.. Bacon is constantly seeking to
