VOTE ON EQUAL SUFFRAGE TODAY

The result of the elections in New York, Massa-
chusets and Pennsylvania held today being watched
with the kenes interest by all those who favor equal
suffrage. If all the states should adopt it, it will mean
the enfranchising of six million women by todays vote
Those in touch with the situation however of the
opinion that equal suffrage will fail in all of them and
that this result is certain in Pennsylvania
1t is unfortunate for the advocates of suffrage that
the elections happen just at this time when the 81 didn't
raise my boy to be soldier" sentiment is being
tensively discussed No doubt there many men who
will not vote for it now They believe and probably are
right in that belief that the majority of women are
against mitarsm in any FORM and that to enfranchise
them would make the effort being made for
preparedness" that much harder to accomplish. That
this will cause many to vote against it is undoubtedly
true and it is possible indeed probable this element may
prevent the adoption Of this constitutional amendment
The results should be pretty we'll known tomorrow and
the Capital Journal hopes to tell it's readers that all three
of these big Eastern States have followed the pace set by

A WARNING TO MANY
Some Interesting Facts About
Kidney Troubles.

Few people realize to what extent
their health depends upon. the condi-
ton Of the kidneys.
The physician in nearly all cases Of
serious illness. makes a chemical
analysis of the patients urine. He
knows that unless the kidneys are do
ing their work properly. the other
organs cannot readily be brought back
to health and strength.
When the kidneys are neglected or
abused in any way, serious results are
sure to follow. According to health
statistics. Bright's disease which is
really an advanced form of kidney
trouble, caused nearly ten thousand
deaths in 1913, in the state of New
York alone. Therefore, it behooves us
to pay more attention to the health of
these most important organs.
An ideal herbal compound that has
had remarkable success as a kidney
remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root,
the great Kidney, Liver and Bladder
Remedy.
The mild and healing influence Of
this preparation. in most cases, is soon
realized. according to sworn statements
and verified testimony of those who
have used the remedy.

RED CROSS SEAL FUNDS
NOT FOR WAR RELIEF
American Red Cross Director ursos
Fund For Tuberculosis Prevention.

None of the proceeds from the sale -
Red Cross Christmas Seals which A:s
being sold widely throughout the unir.
ed States for the benefit of the anti.
tuberculosis movement will be used
for any relief purposes, according to Il
statement by Ernest L. Bicknell, Ma.
tional Director of the American Red
Cross
Mr. Bicknell says: The American
Red Cross is deeply appreciative of the
sympathetic interest which has inspired
the suggestion from various parts of
the United States that a certain per
centage of the Red Cross Seal Sales
Fund. which has been used for the last
seven years exclusively for the preven'
ton and treatment of tuberculosis In
the United States, be expended this
year to aid the European war suffer
ers. While the Red Cross Is desirous
Of securing contributions which Will in
crease this war relief fund, we do not
feel justified in adopting any policy
which will tend to cripple the tubercu-
losis work in this country, dependent
as it is for support to so large an eX-
tent on the sale OF Red Cross Christ
mas Seals. The announcement that Il
percentage of the Red Cross Seal mon
ey would go to our war relief fund
might possibly increase the sale; but.
in our opinion, the final results would
show distinct loss In that part of the
proceeds going for tuberculosis work.
AT the present time there are over
ZOO anti-tuberculosis societies distrib
uted through nearly every state in the
Union and even in Porto Rico, the
Canal Zone and far Off Hawaii, which
are dependent almost entirely upon the
receipts from the Red Cross Seal sale
for heir work during the year 1916. The
people Of the United States must sup
port this local war against tuberculo
sis. which annually kills 100000 people
and at the present time is leaving n
trail Of n million wounded"

HE DID HIS SHARE.
How tho Rich Man Changed His Mind
When Tuberculosis Struck Home.

Anthony Schofeld lived in Missouri
and had made his money in copper and
zinc. He had worked hard from boy
in the drift up to the rank Of foreman,
then to superintendent and finally to
owner Sickness never worried him.
many hard knocks and was good for
many more. A year ago in answer to
a pretty girl who asked him to buy
some seals to help the miners who had
tuberculosis he replied grutiiy: LET 'em
work and save. That's what did when
| was young, and I've never been sick
and have got enough to keep me now"
1t was n different Schofeld who ap-
preached the Red Cross Seal girl at
one of the booths yesterday. In twelve
months his daughter had been stolen
away by the monster tuberculosis and
his son, just graduating from college,
had been compelled to drop everything
else in his search for health from this
the disease could be traced back proba-
bly, to childhood, when his two children
had been nursed by the consumptive
daughter of consumptive miner. The
rickety, disease breeding tenements In
which the miner was compelled to live
were owned by Schofeld now. I'D
give my two eyes and both legs and
arms to have my daughter with me
and my son restored to health" he
confided to the Red Cross Seal girl.
II can't get away from the thought
that my girl might be alive and my boy
well If I'd given some attention to the
prevention of this disease ten or fifteen
years ago. Now it's too late for that,
but I'll keep somebody else's son and
daughter safe. Here, give me all the
seals you've got and then go and get
all you can find and charge them all to
me- If money can make amends, which
it can't, I'll do my share"
As the astonished girl handed over
to him her entire supply Of 10000 seals
and took his check in return she heard
him mutter his daughters name and
repeat, "I'll do my share"

HOW THE RED CROSS
SEAL ORIGINATED.
Anti-tuberculosis Workers After $780,

Nearly S2,5OO,0OO has been raised by
Red Cross Christmas Seals in the last
seven years, and yet many people who
will buy these holiday stickers at this
eighth annual sale do not know how
the charity stamp idea originated.
1t was war that brought forth the
charity stamp-our Civil war Of 81 to

1862, when they conceived the idea Of
selling stamps at fairs for the benefit

elsewhere Nearly $1.0O00OO was rails
ed In this way before 1868, After the
war this method of raising money was

Portugal. Switzerland. Austria, France.
Spain. Denmark. Norway, Russia, Swe
den and other European countries
There are now several thousands of
different types Of charity stamps used
in all parts of the world, as many as
forty being used in Austria for chill
dren's hospitals alone.
Stamps or seals were first used to
get money for the anti-tuberculosis
crusade in Norway and Sweden in
1904 To Jacob Riis, the well known
social worker of New York. and to
Miss Emily F. Bssell, the energetic
secretary Of the Delaware Red Cross,
Jointly belong the honor of originating
our American Red Cross Christmas
seal. In 1907 Mr. Riis's interest was
aroused by the receipt Of a Christmas

this queer looking stamp in the out
look and suggested some possible USE
for ii in this country. Miss Bissell al
once saw an opportunity here and pre-
pared n stamp. from the sale of which
her society realized $1,000 for tubercu
Iosis work. SO impressed was she with
this success that she induced the Amer
lean Red Cross to take up the sale in
1903 on national basis. With very
little organization and with hardly any
attempt at careful advertising the sale
that year brought in over $135.000 for
anti-tuberculosis work in various parts
of the United States. In 1909, with
more thorough organization, the sale
was increased to S23OOOO In 1910 to
nearly $4,000, in 1911 to over $3.50
600 and in 1912 to over 100000. In
1913 the sale was increased TO nearly
S45O,OO0. and last year, in spite Of war
and hard times, 90 per cent more, or
55,OOO.0O0 seals were sold. totaling
$55O.OOO for the anti-tuberculosis war.

MRS. GAIT RECEIVES
HER WEDDING DRESS

Washington, Dec. 13.-Mrs. Norman
Gait, fiancee of President Wilson, now
has her wedding gown. 1t was de-
livered at the Gait home by julius
Kurzman of Kurzman Brothers, New
York, who also furnished the gowns
for Miss Jessie Wilson when she be-
came the bride of Francis BOwes
Sayre and for Miss Eleanor Wilson
when she married Secretary McAdoo.
Mr.. Kurzman, accompanied by Mrs.
Kurzman and a number of filters,
went to Mrs. Galts home, carrying
large boxes and several smaller ones.
1t is known that the boxes contained
the remainder of the trousseau, Mrs.
Gait already having received the ma
jor portion of her wedding finery.
Later the party went to the home
of Secretary McAdoo with packages
for Mrs. McAdoo, who will be one Of
the few guests at the wedding Sat
urday
Mr.. Kurzman would not discuss
the wedding dress, the trousseau or
any article furnished for it by his
house.
The fact that the New York cos
tuner was to remain in Washington
over night indicated that the work
of fitting the future Mrs. Wilson has
not been finally concluded.
