The Gazette Girl writes a clever
little story in the Cedar Rapids Ga
zette, under the caption Cheer Up
Gladys. You'll Be Voter BY and BY
She suggests whct q good day Tues
day would have been for dress pa
rade to the polls. Here's how the Ca
zette Girl looks at things:
Tuesday would have been some
election day had the women OF Cedar
Rapids the privilege of the ballot
What an opportunity the weather man
gave for dress parade. to spring
that new fall suit, going to the polls
to vote! Would the women of this
city vote If they were citizenss
So much sentiment has developed
in this city within the past year in ia
vor OF equal suffrage that it is pretty
certain that thousands Of women in
Suits Me-" would have cast their bal
lots Instead OF the corners being dec
GRATED with groups of men in sombre
clothes discussing politics, groups of
women in pretty clothes with all the
beautiful autumn colors precominat-
ing. would lend a pleasing setting for
the street gatherings. The business
girl would come down early in the
morning and cast her ballot while
limousines and electric cars and gas
motors would unload the ultra fash
icnable ladies' at the polling places II
would be far more interesting spec
tacle If the fair sex could vote In
fact. methinks more men would get
out and vote The presence Of the
women would lend more interest to
election.
Would They Vote Early!
The newspapers urge Mr.. Voter to
get out and vote early. Would the
women need this injunction? A lot of
them would be forced to vote early,
but the housekeepers, Land sakes, no.
Think of leaving breakfast dishes
and the morning routine of duties 10

TO get it for him: so there'd be no
chance of her going down TO the polls

Dartmouth and Amherst are again
very insistent that their baseball play
ers shall not play on summer teams of
a semi-professional character. This
seems like an unnecessary hardship to
place upon college students who are
perhaps struggling to make ends NEE;
to pay college expenses. Technically of
course a player who plays for money
is professional, and professionals are
not supposed to play on college teams;
but it would seem wiser to adopt a new
standard Of classification as between
professionals and amateurs than to de-
prive the college man of the pleasure
and profit of joining scmi-profession-
al summer baseball team. A student
might earn $25 to $50 a week PLAYING
baseball, while his services in another
line would not be worth over $40 or
So week. The plan adopted by
Brown university is a sensible one.
Brunonians are allowed to play with
teams which are not under the national
agreement. In other words they main
tain their amateur status as long as
they do not play with professional
clubs where they may be bought or
sold.

DISCOVERY LIFTS DEATH
PERIL OF MERCURY TABLET
New Drug to Contain Bichloride and
Tartar Emetic Useless as Poison.

In Pediatrics, a monthly medical
magazine, DR.. William Edward Fitch.
its editor, who is a lieutenant in the
medical reserve corps, United States
army, announces that he has succeeded
in compromising q bichloride of mercu-
ry tablet which, if swallowed by any
one, will have no more serious result
than to cause nausea. He explains
that his tablet contains tartar emetic
that will exert its full action before the
corrosive subIimite
DR.. Fitch's formula for the tablet,
which he proposes to give to the world
for the benefit of mankind, is:
Seven and three-tenths grains of BIZ
chloride of mercury.
Seven and three tenths grains am
monium chloride
One and one-quarter grains tartar
emetic.
As explained by DR.. Fitch, the tartar
(antimonii ct potassii tartras) is so
compounded in the tablet that it will
promptly exert its full emetic action on
reaching the stomach before the cor
rosive sublimite Cbichloride of mer-
cury can begin to exert its violent,
irritant and deeply caustic action This
combination, it is said, will in no wise
hinder the bactericidal, germicidaI.
disinfectant or antseptic work of the
bichloride Of mercury. but. on the other
hand, the tartar emetic will have
synergistic activity or force
The physiological action of tartar
emetic," DR.. Fitch says, produces pro
longed nausea, violent and repeated
vomiting and retching, completely
evacuating the stomach contents.
Those with whom l have discussed
my remedy have pronounced it a won
derful discovery.
When bichloride of mercury tablets
are made up according to my formula
and legislation prevents the sale of the
poison to the laymen in its present
form there will be an end to suicides
caused by mercury and deaths through
carelessness in its use"

"MEXICANS REALLY LIKE U.s."
Surprising Testimony by Medical Mis-
sionary Thirty Years In Country.


sionary Thirty Years In Country.
That mediation is not likely to cure
MeXico's ills is the opinion of Dr. Levi
b. Salmans, just back from Guanaiua-
TO, Mexico. DR.. Salmans has lived in
Mexico for nearly thirty years as
medical missionary under the Metho-
dist board of foreign missions.
The policy of mediation" said DR..
Salmans to the Washington Post re-
porter, has already somewhat relieved
the irritation by indicating to the Mex
leans that we are ready to act fairly.
The warning factions can hardly be ex-
pected to set up a united government
unless help comes from the outside.
Many MeXicans are not unfavorabIy
disposed to American Intervention. be-
cause they realize that the object of
such intervention is not to exploit, but
to help. To say that the cry, Down
with the gringos" is on the lips of ev-
cry Mexican is grossly unjust. The
Americans as a whole are loved and
respected by Mexicans to a degree but
little understood in the United States.
This esteem has been built up within
the past quarter century"

TO TAKE UP PROHIBITION
AND SUFFRAGE IN HOUSE
Rules Committee Will Permit Con-

Two Causes OF Prospect of Hearing.

Especial to The Times Dispatch.1
WASHINGTON. December 12.-The
Rules Committee of the House to-day
decided to permit the consideration by
the House before adjour hment Is taken
for the Christmas holidays of both
the Hobson CONSTITUTIONAL amendment
for prohibition, and the Mondell reso-
lution providing for an amendment eX-
tending the right of suffrage to women.
After SO many years of agitation by
the advocates of both these causes.
| there WAS great jubilation among them
to-day over the prospect at least of
getting hearing before Congress.
The Hobson prohibition amendment Is
to be brought up on December 90.
Eight hours will he allowed for debate,
and there Will be unlimited oppor-
tunity for amendment. Members of
the Rules Committee were unanimous
In voting for the consideration of the
HobsOn proposal for nationwide pro-
hibition.
The unanimity of the committee,
however. is not to be taken as an indi-
cation that the requisite two-thirQs
vote to adopt the resolution will be
assured. The general Impression Is
that the resolution will not pass
The prohibition leaders expect much
advancement of the prohibition cause
from the consideration to be given by
the House.
Chairman Henry, of the Rules Com
mittee. said to-day that the House
could be kept i'm session until disposi-
ton is made of both the prohibition
and the suffrage resolution
President Wilson is opposed to the
Mondell resolution, having frequently
declared his belief that suffrage for
women Is State rather than ~ ma
tional question. because of his opposi-
ton, there is considerable doubt
whether the necessary two-thirds vote
can BIO obtained.
Secretary Bryan issued statement
to-day I'm regard to the prohibition and
suffrage questions in which ne said h c
was interested In seeing the Demo-
cratic party take the moral side OF
both questions" But he makes 1t clear
that he does not think the passage of
the amendments at this time expe-
