MRS. LESLIE AIDS
SUFFRAGE CAUSE
Widow of New York Publisher
Sets Aside 81, 100000
in Her Will.

Chicago, H., Sept. 2S.-Suppose you
were interested in woman suffrage and
| we're given between $1,500,000 and
100000 to advance the cause. How
would you spend it?
This problem was submitted to suf-
frage leaders of Chicago yesterday,
when dispatches from New York re-
ported that the will of Mrs. Frank Les
lie. Baroness de Bazus. provided such
legacy to help win the vote for
women.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait, president
of the International Woman Suffrage
Alliance, said in New York that she
had been notified of the legacy, but
had not been informed of the value of
the estate. 1t is reported the estate
will be found to be worth more than
100000 and that practically all of
it will go to the suffrage cause.
Members of the family of Mrs. Les
lie whose husband made his fortune in
the publishing business, refused to
state whether they contemplated legal
action to break the will.
Mrs. T. H. Wrenn of 81 Pierrepont
street, Brooklyn, Mrs. Leslie's niece,
said she believed 100000 to be a
fair estimate of the estate. She re-
fused to comment on her willingness
to forego a large share of the money
in order to help gain votes for women.
Mrs. Gait declared her only definite
understanding regarding the funds
was that Mrs. Leslie did not provide
in her will that the money was to go to
any particular suffrage organization, or
to be used in any specified way. She
left the money to be used for the pro-
motion of woman suffrage as Mrs.
Cats judgment should direct, it was
said.
How or where the money will be
used Mrs. Gait will not attempt to de-
eide until the will has been admitted
to probate.
Should Mrs. Gait be in doubt as to
the best way to dispose of the money
Chicago suffragists are willing to ad-
wise her.
They hailed the news with the same
degree of enthusiasm that measured
the gloom in the camps of the "antis."

MEAT CAUSE OF

II you must have your meat every
day, eat IL, but flush your kidneys
with salts occasionally, says a noted
authority who tells us that meat forms
uric acid which almost paralyzes the
kidneys In their efforts to expel it
from the blood. They become slug
gish and weaken. then you suffer with
a dull misery in the kidney region,
sharp pains In the back or sick head
ache, dizziness. your stomach sours,
tongue is coated and when the wealth
er Is bad you have rheumatic twinges.
The urine gets cloudy, full of sedi-
ment. the channels often get sore and
irritated. obliging you to seek relief
two or three times during the night.
To neutralize these irritating acids.
to cleanse the kidneys and flush on
the body's urfnous waste get four
ounces OF Jad Salts from any phar.
macy here; take a tablespoonful in a
glass of water before breakfast for
a few days and your kidneys will then
act fine. This famous salts is made
Juice, combined with lithia and has
been used for generations to flush and
stimulate sluggish kidneys, also to
neutralize the acids in urine. SO II no

weakness.

scratches. The cycle turned complete
" around in the crash and was dam
aged to such an extent that he was
forced to leave it at farmhouse.

tim, Sustains Broken
Bone in Thigh.

The first football accident on record
in this vicinity occurred yesterday at
the Ninth street pasture, when August
Lutz, 10 years old, 1920 Twelfth ave
nue. sustained a broken leg in scrim-
mage. A physician was summoned
and theinjured lad removed to his
home.
The boy was one of the spectators
watching a scrub game and was stand
ing on the side lines at the time of
the mishap. The team in possession
of the ball started an end play in his
direction. One of the halfbacks, a col
ored lad, was carrying the ball. The
opposing tackle knocked him over the
line and he struck the lad. knocking
him down and stepped on him. The
leg was fractured above the knee.

London.-During the past few weeks
dogs have been used in the European
war as they have never been used in
any way before. AS spies, as messen-
gers and as aids to the Red Cross they
have accomplished wonders. And the
BeIgians have light artillery service
in which machine guns on bicycle
wheeled carriages are unanswered and
go into action drawn by dogs.
One Of the best uses to which the
dog has been put during this war is
in connection with the work of the
Red Cross. AS soon as the battle
is over he searches for the wounded
or fallen soldiers. AS soon as one
of these is discovered he sets up a
loud barking and the ambulance
corps is attracted to the spot by the

sharpshooters. and If successful, re.
turns Immediately to the handler for
more ammunition, and so continues
the work until the battle is over, or.
as would be certain to happen some
times, he himself is killed. 1t has
been proved that if he is wounded
while carrying out his duties, he can
seldom be induced to again venture
near the place where he has been
shot or cut.
However, the faithfulness of the
dog as a rule is wonderful, and,
when loaded with ammunition, they
will never allow the cartridges to
be taken from them by soldiers of
another battalion, and sometimes
only by those of their own company.
so well are the dogs taught to know
the division to which they belong.

ROOSEVELT GETS
A SHERMAN JOLT
Assertions Made by Colonel in
Illinois Talks Declared
Utterly False.

Springfield. ILL.,. Sept 2s.-Unitet
! States Senator Lawrence Y. Sherman
yesterday made formal reply to tn,
speeches or Colonel Roosevelt and Ray
mond Robins, delivered last weel
throughout Illinois.
Senator Sherman denounces Roose
velt's charge of a Sherman-Sulliva1
combine at Springfield in the last leg
| islature as utterly false" He sails
into the colonel as a man of moods,
charges him with insincerity, and bent
on reign of destruction
Senator Sherman attacks Robins
He ties him up with the single tax
| movement and shows him to have
been a member of the Joseph Fels
| commission. charged with spreading
the single tax theory throughout the
| United States.
Senator Sherman charges Colonel
Roosevelt used the rules in the 1905
| republican convention to force the
nomination of Mr.. Taft that he since
complained of in the 1912 convention.
Turning to Colonel Roosevelt's ap-
peal for MIR. Robins, Senator Sherman
says:
He is not a candidate himself and
offers nothing new or useful for those
who are. His faithful friends in for
mer years now face his arrival on a
mission of destruction. He now is at
tempting to deliver them, not to him
self, but to a new and unknown can
didate, who, at the recent primary
showed but a ridiculous fraction of
the voters of this state and a still
more ridiculous fraction of Mr.. Roose-
velt's vote of 1912.
THE Illinois legislature has enacted
more law to promote social justice
than Robins has ever read. The ele-
ment in Illinois politics responsible for
such remedial legislation has not been
in sympathy with those whom Roose-
welt attacks.
"At the time I was struggling for
direct primary laws, civil service, fac
tory inspection, coal mining acts, child
labor laws, and other acts of social
justice, Mr.. Roosevelt was allied In
this state with the element of the
republican party then opposed to me.
Some time has elapsed since this hap
pened and many people have forgotten
it
For several years had to maintain
myself against those whom President
Roosevelt appointed to office in this
state. 1 was defeated many times by
his Illinois friends. 1 remained a re-
publican in defeat. My efforts for bet
terment were exerted as a member of
the republican party. l stayed inside
the republican house to clean it from
the inside. l never went outside to
pull it down. 1 am still a republican.
l submit to the people of Illinois my
record in the efforts for improvement.
MIR. Roosevelt nominated Taft in
1908. He used the rules then in force
to control the convention. In 1912 he
became dissatisfied with president
Taft. He was a candidate against
him. He declined in 1908 to amend
the rules he complained of in 1912. He
had the power to do so.
He wanted their benefit In 1908.
In 1912 he vociferously objected to
Taft's receiving the benefit of the
same rules. Roosevelt's name was sub
mitted to that convention. If he had
been nominated under the old rules or
any rules. the republican party would
have been a virtuous body"

A LII eyes In tho summer colony here
u this week have been turned toward
Europe and, while tho social fes-
