That the middleman, or retailer, is

said. there would be little complaint
because Of the high cost of living. To

cause rests with both producer and

Militant Suffragette Was Released from
Holloway Jail After Novel
Move.

London, Dec. l6.-Sleep striking, the
latest sutfragette weapon against the
home office, won quick release from
prison for Sylvia Pankhurst, its inven-
tor. She was released on 'cat and
mouse" license from Holloway Jail last
night in weakened condition because
she refused to sleep, eat and drink while
she was confined.
Miss Pankhurst, since her imprisen-
ment, Dec. 10, adopted the more drastic
method of adding mo sleep strike" to
her "hunger and thirst strike" She ac-
complished this by continually walking.
''In your majesty's name, a noble
woman is being done to death. We cali
upon your majesty to stop the crime be-
fore it is too late"
This was a message referring to En-
incline Pankhurst's latest arrest that
suffragettes yesterday telegraphed to
King George, according to a statement
from Mrs.. Dacre-Fox at yesterdays
weekly meeting of the Woman's Social
& Political union in Knightsbridge hall.

fragettes intended no insult to King

which exeites the kidneys, they become
oyerworked from the strain, get slug

Nearly all rheumatism, headaches, liver

sluggish kidneys.
The moment you feel duh ache in

the urine is cloudy, offensive, full of
sediment, irregular of passage or attend
