FAIR BRIDGE WHISPERS
ARE IN FOR 1T
Denver, Colo, Jan. 17.-Den-
yer women who like to play
bridge whist, with Just enough
money involved ito make it in
teresting," will do so in the flu
ture at their peril.
Their homes may be raided by
the police, and they may be given
a ride in the patrol wagon to the
central station.
City Supervisor Skinner is plan
ming grand slam" He has in
troduced an ordinance which will
make bridge come under the head
of ordinary gambling, and the
bridge players will be given the
same treatment as those who in
dulge in any other game of
chance. An ordinance is also be-
fore the council which prohibits
the sale of liquor to women in
cafes.
Bridge playing is more de-
moralizing to women than drink
ing" said Supervisor Skinner. 81
mean to stop it in the private
homes, as we'll as in clubs, hotels
and other public places. What's
the difference whether a woman
entertains her friends with rou-
lette wheel party or bridge
party in her home? It's the same
in the last analysis.
Supervisor Skinner has lost his
popularity.

FRIEDMAN'S CURE
Washington, Jan. 17.-Dr. F.
F. Friedman's famous serum cure
for tuberculosis was the subject
of long report by Consul Gen
eral Thackera at Berlin sent to
Congress today by President
Taft. Thackera said lib per-
sons have been treated, and while
I. the cure has not yet been adopted
by the medical profession the re-
suits warrant the attention of
Congress.
The report was submitted as
the result of a resolution by. Sen
ator Gore. Consul Thackera says
a majority of the cases treated
were children and most of them
were apparently successful. 1t
will be long time, however, he
stated, before the remedy be-
comes available for use through
out the world.
DR.. Friedman says he is only
able to produce the serum in lin
tied quantities, it being obtained
from cold-blo o d e d animals
through a tedious and lengthy
process.

You not? Well. SO do l."
She filled h l filled ever of wa
ter from the table and discharged it
full in his face. Then Selling it by
the handle. she raised 1t with the in
tentfon of breaking 1t. on his head; but
he was already at the door, and the
next moment had vanished. She heard
his footsteps OF the stairs and knowing
II was hapeless to reach him there, she
ran to the window and opened it.
Next moment h saw him crossing
the courtyard, half drenched, half rum
ming. half bent. It was loathsome,
though to an unthinking mind laugh
able, to see how that dash Of cold water
had washed away the dandy and
brought the cur to light. He was not
perhaps a coward as the times went,
but he was entirely dominated for the
moment by h woman with the ever.
AS he crossed the courtyard she
called at him as one calls after a dog,
threatening 1t. Then she shut the win
dow, replaced the ever OF the table and
gave a last touch to the bowl of flow
ers. She was disturbed I'm her mind.
He reputation must have gone very
much to the bad in the last few days,
else De Joyeouse would never have
dared an insult like that. She began
to perceive for the first time, fully, how
deeply she was hated In this society
dominated by women and that odious
woman worship which makes a
~Frenchman the puppet Of his mistress,
and degrades the worshiped and the
~worshipper alike.
WELL" she murmured as she rang
the bell for Rosine to remove the ever
and to wipe up the water on the floor,
what do I ARE for their hate as long
as ! have his love!"
She spoke quite unconscious Of the
fact that De Lussac was at that mo-
ment being driven to the Bastile. in the
safe custody OF Monsieur Beauregard.

GERMANS ENCOURAGE
ATHLENCDEvEL0PMENT
Following the English Associa-
ton BY Means Of EFT
Aciency' Medals.

Following the footsteps OF the Eng
lish association, the German athletic
authorities have adopted a plan to en-
courage all round athletic development
by means Of efficiency medals. The
imperial committee OF the Olympic
games has worked out q system for tho
awarding of gold. silver and bronze
medals for athletes who perform above
a set standard in any one of ave
groups of athletic games and sports.
The first group consists Of SWIM
ming and gymnastics. the second OF
high jump Inc broad jump, the third
of running 100 yards or q quarter of
a mile. the fourth of fencing. discus
throwing. rowing. lawn tennis. wrest-
ling. hockey and golf. and the nth
group includes long distance running.
swimming, skating. skiing and cycling.
The d is that moderate efficiency ia
five of these things shall be rewarded
by a bronze medal. A silver medal
will be given IL the performances are
repeated in each of four years, and q
gold medal if the performances are re-
,peated in ach of eight years. A COM
petitor of more than 80 years OF age
will obtain the gold medal IL he satis-
fies the tests only once. The schedule.
which is confined to Germans. Is no
doubt we'll adapted to German tastes
and to present German conditions.
