.SHAFROTH Bill
REPORTED OUT
Woman Sufrgae Measure,
with Referendum, Is Be-
fore Senate.
H. MUCH OPPOSITION
Congressional Union Refuses to In
dorse lt-Mrs. Funk Claims
Majority for Passage.
H. MUCH OPPOSITION

Senator shafrcth's resolution providing
universal suffrage by constitutional
amendment was favorably reported yes
terday to the Senate by Senator Owen.
OF the Senate Committee on Woman
Suffrage The measure differs from that
defeated a month ago. by providing that
final decision shall be left to the States.
Miss Alice Paul, chairman of the Con-
gressional Union for Woman Suffrage.
last night said:
"The favorable committee report puts
this measure on the Senate calendar be-
side the Bristow suffrage amendment.
which was favorably reported on April Z.
This latter amendment. known as the
Bristow-Mondell resolution, when passed
by Congress and ratihed by the State
legislatures, would at once enfranchise
the women Of the whole country. :
THE proposed shafroth bill would re-
quire a two-thirds vote in each House of
Congress. followed by the ratification OF
three-fourths of the States, and would
then necessitate the collecting Of thirty
nine Initiative petitions and the winning
Of thirty-nine referendum campaigns.
VIII Refuse . Substitute.
"The Congressional Union Is concen-
trating its energy In working for the
Bristow-Mondell amendment and re-
fuses to accept the national initiative and
referendum on the suffrage question as
in any sense a substitute A|
The nation wide suffrage demonstra
ton on May 2 Is designed to secure the
passage of the Bristow-Mondell resolu-
tion. The May . procession in Washing
ton will also support only the Bristow-
Mondell measure. The passage and rati-
fication of this latter amendment would
mean the immediate political freedom of
the women of the entire country. Moth
ing less than this will meet the demand
Of suffragists.I 49,
Mrs. Antoinette Funk. a member Of the
Congressional committee of the National
American Woman Suffrage Association.
said:
TT was a foregone conclusion that the
Shafroth resolution would be reported
out. II is hard to predict in the face
Of existing conditions when IL will come
to a vote, but II IL could come up to-
morrow. 1t would be ten votes to the
good.
This measure will not give full suf-
frage, IT isn't Just half a loaf. but Is an
oTen door into the bake-shop where We
maize the bread. 1t doesn't tell the
States how suffrage must be decided. but
just ADDS another way that II may be
decided, an easier way.
'Tha Shafroth resolution was drawn
with reference to conditions as they are,
and not as We might wish they were.
and We are ready and anxious to meet
ths iss3e sGCarei-. With this amendment
written irto Law, the women are on the
last lap OF their journey.

BLIsTERs ALL OVER BODY

Hollene, New Mexico.-"our little
boy first broke out in little yellow
blisters about the size of pin heads
and they itched and hurt 80 badly he
could not rest day nor night. In few
days they were running sores and
kept spreading until they were as
large as a dollar. He had them all
over his body and was nearly tortured
to death, as they hurt him SO badly he
could hardly sleep. He would scratch
and cause great sores all over his
face and legs.
I'VE tried several highly recon-
mended remedies but they didn't seem
to help him bit. Nothing seemed to
do any good until we got Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. We hadn't used

WHOLE SEED MUST BE USED.
Farmers Advised BY Grubb to Plant
Potatoes Whole.

Greeley Whole seed must be
used" Eugene Grubb tells Colorado
growers. Never cut a potato for
seed. did not find a successful po-
tato grower in Europe who cut seed.
and the most successful crops from
the irrigated West last year were
from whole seed.
Whole seed should be planted fiji
teen inches apart in the row, because
a larger number of tubers are set per
plant than with cut seed.
For growing seed select a piece Of
ground on which potatoes have not
been grown for five years and that
has been in alfalfa. or other grass.
Get potatoes for planting on this
plot that are as free from disease as
possible and true to the type Of the
variety.
Select potatoes ~ to 2h inches in
diameter.
PLANT potatoes in the seed plot

REFUSE TO GIVE UP ARMS.
Y. S. Troops Get 72 Old Rifles and
Pistols From Tent Colony.

Trinidad, Colo.-Strikers In the
Trinidad district, which included the
big tent colony at San Rafael heights.
whence the residents of the destroyed
Ludlow colony went, Saturday surren-
dered ~ arms of all character to the
Federal army officers. Among the lot
were some with broken stocks, burst
barrels. broken hammers. and many
small-caliber guns and pistols.
The military officers were disap-
pointed by the manner in which
Colonel Lockett's proclamation Of dis
armament was obeyed and determined
to give the strikers, mine operators
and citizens one more chance to sur
render their arms voluntarily.
All told. there were 725 arms re-
ceived by the federal commander Sat
urday in the Trinidad district. To
this number the dealers in arms and
ammunition contributed largely. and
citizens surrendered many hunting
guns and small-caliber arms. Very
few weapons which the army officers
considered truly serviceable were re-
ceived.

CAUSE AND EFFECT
Good Digestion Follows Right Food.

Indigestion and the attendant dis
comforts of mind and body are GER
tain to follow continued use Of i'm
proper food.
Those who are still young and ro-
bust are likely to overlook the fact
that. as dropping water will wear
stone away at last, SO will the use OF
heavy, greasy. rich. food. finally cause
loss of appetite and Indigestion
Fortunately many are thoughtful
enough to study themselves and note
the principle of cause and effect in
their daily food A N. Y. young wom-
an writes her experience thus:
Sometime ago I had lot of trou-
BILE from indigestion. caused by too
rich food. I got 30 I was unable to
digest scarcely anything. and medi-
cines seemed useless.
"a friend advised me to try Grape
Nuts food. praising it highly and as
last resort, tried it. / am thankful
to say that Grape-Nuts not only re-
lieved me OF my trouble, but built me
up and strengthened my digestive or
gans so that can now eat anything

FIGHT PLAGUE IN THE ORIENT
American Anti-Tuberculosis Society
Has Been Active in Movement for
Health Preservation.

tuberculosis Is one of the most Sc
rious public health problems of the
Orient Active organizations to fight
this disease have been formed IN
Japan. the Philippines. India and Aus
tralia A movement is on foot for =
national organization In China and in
a number of cities local work has
been started While no accurate fig
ures are available. those who are IN
position to know claim that consump-
ton takes annually from 100000 to
/ 1000 900 lives in China alone. In In
dia the death rate is fully as high
and on account of caste distinctions
and native superstitions. the problem
of prevention and treatment Is pecu-
liarly difficult. The Japanese govern
ment has taken a hand officially in
the control of tuberculosis, and is
cooperating with two well-organized
private associations. The death rate
while very high. is lower than IN
China and India. Under the direction
of the United States public health
service movement for the preven-
ton of tuberculosis in the Philippines
has also been organized.
The National Association for the
Study and Prevention Of Tuberculo-
sis, with headquarters in New YORK
although organized especially for work
in this country. has been largely IN
strumental in the establishment OF
anti-tuberculosis movements in most
of the oriental countries. as well as
in Africa and South America.
