PUBLICATION
OF Paper

LONDON, Nov. 2S.-Prompted
by the recent threats of sup
pressing the suffragette on ac-
count of her startling series Of
articles on sexual diseases. Miss
Christabel Pankhurst, in the cur
rent issue, prints spirited de-
Tense of her action.
These articles have simply
told the truth about sexual dis
eases, the extent to which they
ravage the population, the reason
why they exist, the manner in
which they can be prevented, pre-
vention being, as has been care
fully shown, the only real cure, "
she says. Where is the indie
cency in all this? That the exist

immortality that is its cause are
indecent we are the first to admit.
But to tell the truth about such
evils and to fight for their aboli-
ton is the most decent thing that
is possible for human beings to

TACOMA'S POOR
HAD CAUSE
OF THANKS

If there are any poor families
in Tacoma who did not have
Thanksgiving delicacies-or, at
least, a good big dinner-yester-
day, they must have been of the
sort who are too bashful or proud
to make known their condition.
Charitable organizations Of the
city reported today that they had
furnished Thanksgiving meals to
every family in Tacoma that was
reported to them. No single in
stance of need was overlooked.
Many business houses gave
turkeys and other Thanksgiving
dinners to their employees. The
Carstens Packing company gave
turkey to each employe and
the widows of former employees.
Thanksgiving church services
were largely attended.

CONGRESS- NEGLECT
BLAMED FOT DISEASE

For the $4,000 school children

are Is medical inspectors, of
whom two are dentists. When
congress was asked for nine addi-

chief, the reply was one inspector
at $500 per annum. There are
six veterinarians for the inspec-
ton of 1,175 dairy farms stock
ed with 17,457 cattle, not to
mention the job of inspecting %
