Wants Sylvester Removed.
o the Editor of THE TINES:

TO the Editor OF TEE TIMES:
AS a citizen Of the District of Co.
lumbia, I wish to call upon ''the peo-
pies paper" to make vigorous editorial
protest against the disgraceful police
mismanagement on the occasion of the
womer's parade.
This was decidedly the best parade
Washington has been privileged to wit
ness In many years-or would haze
been had the spectators been kept back
OF the ropes. where they were COM
PEELED to remain while the inaugural
procession was passing.
No circus pageant has ever been per-
mitted to pass upon Pennsylvania ave-
nue. with so feeble police protection as
was accorded those women. The spec
tacle was one that will make the WASH
ing.on police department the laughing
stock Of the United States-after the
ire of cur visitors has cooled. On every
hand could be heard expressions Of dis
gust, both from paraders and onlook-
ers. Everyone realizes that the rank
and file, the bone and sinew of The
police force deserve to be called the
finest,'' and equally we'll does every
one know that their directing czar. their
major and chief" is responsible for
Mondays outrage.
Every man in Washington in whose
breast there is spark Of gallantry,
chivalry or decency should rise up and
demand the removal from his auto
cratic position of Richard Sylvester.
Equally culpable is the outging Presi-
dent, who denied the appeal o.. the
woman suffragists for military protec-
ton on the plea that it was mot neces-
sary-' Those who saw Pennsylvania
avenue during the parade know that
his judgment in this case was just
about as good as 1t has been in nearly
everything else 1 do not ask you to
get the editorial hammer after this
man, for such a request would prob
ably be treason. Anyway, 1t Is not
necessary to speak anything but good
Of the politically dead. F. A. DONY.

A MESSAGE TO WOMEN
Who Are "Just Ready to Drop"

When you are Just ready to drop"
when you feel SO weak that you can
hardly drag yourself about-and be-
cause you have not slept well, you
get up as tired-out next morning as
wnen you went to bed, you need help.
Miss Lea Dumas writes from Ma
lone. N. Y, saying: 81 was in a bad
ly rundown condition for several
weeks, bat two bottles of Vinol put
me on my feet again and made me
strong and we'll Vinol has done me
more good than all the other medicine
| ever took"
If the careworn, rundown women,
the pale, sickly children and feeble
old folks around here would follow
Miss Dumas example, they, too,
would soon be able to say that Vinol,
our delicious cod liver and iron rem
edy, had built them up and made them
strong.
1t is a wonderful strength creator
and body-builder, and we sell it UNI
der a guarantee of satisfaction. You
get your money back if Vinol does not
help you. Murray & Hooks Pharmacy,

My most exciting experiences were
with buffalo. This great mammal is a
fine sporting beast, and l have the
greatest respect for him. On the
whole l consider him to be the most
dangerous game l have ever hunted.
He is massive and powerful, extraordi-
narily quick in his movements for so
large and heavy a creature, endowed
with great vitality and very hard
to KILL Also he plays the game Of
hide-and-seek in the grassy ravines
and jungle of his native home with
much success; and when hunted and
wounded, turns on his pursuer with
the utmost determination and ferocity.
In fact, he plays the game to perfec-
ton.

and there is more danger to be faced
The dangerous game are the lion
and leopard, the rhino, buffalo and ele-
plant. AS matter of fact. these are
all hard to find in the grassy, jungly
ravines and thick forests in which
they hide during the day Lion hunt
ing, in particular. is the most

Some sportsmen have been years in
Africa without getting a shot at a
lion; others drop across one in the

the United States bureau of ento-
mology He was impressed, as many
others have been, with the imperative
necessity of the South's getting away
from her "one-crop" system, and as
a step in the new direction of diversi-
fed farming, realized, with others, that
an increase in corn production was
bound to come. This meant that the
South would one day be growing all
of the corn that she needed to feed
her people and the multiplied farm
animals that were certain to be raised
with better system of farming. But
there is one great obstacle to be over
come in thus supplying her future
needs. 1t would become necessary to
raise corn enough to last throughout
the year, and this meant that large
part of each years crop must be stored
for many months in climate in which
insect pests multiply far more rapidly
than they do in Northern granaries.
For this reason the Alabama ento-
mologist has been studying for several
years the problem of controlling the
insects occurring in stored corn in that
state and many conclusions that have
general application throughout the
South are presented in pictures and
charts found in the Alabama booth
ar the exposition. These should De
studied carefully by the corn raisers in
attendance as several new lines of at
tack are presented in the solution Of
the problem of preventing the initial
attack on corn while it is still soft in
the field, in so planting corn as to trap
the larger part of the insects in the
field, under such conditions that they
may be easily destroyed, in the treat
ment of infested corn so as to destroy
all insect species occurring therein and
preserving intact its full feeding value,
and in so handling seed corn as to
keep it free from injury while still
safely guarding and preserving the full
germinative value of the grain.
This is the most interesting thing
that l have found today" remarked
middle-aged matron as she stood
before some of the illustrations Of
common household insects and learned
how she could very easily and COM
pletely prevent their damage in her
home Such common and important
pests as the housefy, or typhoid fly, .
and the species of mosquitoes that
transmit malaria and kellow fever are
clearly shown so that any one may
easily learn to recognize the dangerous
species. Health and prosperity AMI
