CASCARETS KEEP BOWELS REGULAR
 AND CURE COLDS
No headaclie, sour stomach, bad cold
 or constipation by morning.

Get a 10-cent box
 Colds-whether in the head or any part of the body-are quickly over- come by urging the liver to action and keeping the bowels free of pois- on. Take Cascarets tonight and you will wake up with clear head and no doubt you will wonder what be- came of your cold. Cascarets work while you sleep: they cleanse and regulate the stomach, remove the sour undigested food and foul gases; take the excess bile from the liver and carry off the constipated waste matter and poison from the bowels.
 Remember the quickest way to get rid of colds is one or two Cascarets at night to cleanse the system. Get 10-cent box at any drug store. Don't forget the children. They relish this Candy Catharfic and it is often all that is needed to drive a cold from their little systems.

 Suffragists Have Gala Week in Washington.
 The initial presentation of the nov ing picture thriller, "Your Girl and Mine,' having convinced Mrs. George Alexander Mosshart and other off, cials of the Washington Woman Snf- frage Council-the youngest but most active suffrage organization in the dis trict-that it merited a better and longer showing, resulted in the film being secured for a whole week by the up-to-date manager of "The Co., lonial," one of the most spacious and
 popular moving picture houses in Washington. Following out Mrs. Mosshart's wise plan, six of the most prominent suffrage organizations with bevy of pretty girls in charge, un- dertcok the management of the show for one day of the week each, at
 which time they decorated the house with flags and banners, took tickets, acted as ushers, and made the. "Suf- frage Week" most delightful suc- cess both artistically and financially.
 One of the most conspicuous inno- vaticns and one of the most popular departures of the week was Mrs. Moss hart's inspiration to secure the ser vices of the National American Wo- man Suffrage association, the brilliant Chicago lawyer, and Miss Mary O. Toole and other able attorneys con-
 versant with the laws in the several states, to be on hand toF1answer brief ly but convincingly any and all ques-
 tions asked by the anti forces or ] male doubters, or others who Ques-
 tioned the accuracy of the legal points presented in the scenario. Many pertinent queries were made,
 and by the forceful and emphatic an swers given upon the spot, many peQ- pie were enlightened upon the char acter of the laws which actually exist in some of the states.
 No scenario ever shown in Washing ton ever occasioned so much popular i discussion as this film of Your Girl
 and Mine," for between tho reels, slides were projected upon the screen

 AMERICAN TRADE
Shipping Fraught With Danger and Difficulties
 Since Outbreak of War.
(By Jonathan WinfieldO

Washington Feb. G. Some of. the difficulties affecting the shipping trade with Germany are set forth by the department of commerce which obtained it's information from the of- ficers of the steamer. A. A. Raven which arrived at Rotterdam in the latter part of December with cargo Of cotton from Wilmington. N. c. AL though cotton is admittedly noncon- traband the Raven wa~ boarded at Dover by a British naval officer, who examined the ships papers and al- lowed her to proceed after delay of "A hours.
 The prompt release of the ship was due to the precautions taken before sailing. The captain Of the vessel left Wilmington with a certi- ficate from the British vice-consul there attesting that his ship was free from contra band, accompanied by a similar affidavit from the supervising stevedore. These documents were examined carefully by the British naval inspector at Dover, who asked the captain why he did not also car ny a certificate from the Dutch consul at Wilmington, the inspector suggested that the vessel should have called at some American port where there was one.
 The rate paid on this cotton from Wilmington to RotSerdam was ? cents pound or the equivalent of $10 bale. Although this rate was about five times the normal freight rate, it has been greatly exceeded by engagements made recently Secre- tary McAdoo stated last week that the rate on cotton to Bremen, Ger many, had advanced 100 per cent since the outbreak of the war.
 Undoubtedly the dangers attending navigation in the North sea are lafgely responsible for the high rates as vessel owners are loath to subject their vessels to the risk of naviga- ting the mine areas of these waters
 The captain of the Raven stated that he could obtain a pilot only to take his ship out the harbor of Dover and that he had to make his wa, across the North sea as best he could with the aid of some fisherclen.

 SGuthern Relief S0ciety's Gay Ball.
 The annual ball of the Southern
 Relief society last week was a partic- ularly brilliant affair. The splendid ball room at the Willard was beauti- fully decorated with Southern smilax. flowers and flags, and the soft ac-
 cents of the lovely daughters of the sunny South and their attendant sWains were heard on every side Vice President and Mrs. Marshall and the wives of the cabinet officials stood in the receiving line with Miss Heth, who carried a sheath of exquisite roses sent her by Miss Margaret Wilson from the white house conservatories.

 Rabbi Assails Churches of Europe for
 War Marriages.
 In an address at the Fifth Avenue Suffrage Shop, N. Y., Rabbi Stephen Wise recently uttered scathing re- buke to the churches of Europe for their policy of urging soldiers to marry before going to war. 'Of all infamous, immoral infidelities, this thing of promoting war marriages is the worst" he stated, dec.aring that Womanhood should rise in revolt against the plan which proposed with hideous callousness to turn them merely into human breeding machines to supply food for cannons. s'While not every woman is for peace," Dr. Wise admitted, "they know the cost of war better than men do. And not one woman in all the world was al- lowed to say a word as to whether this war should be, declared.' In conclusion, the rabbi stated he was for woman suffrage because he be- lived that women would bring about at least the beginnings of peace. One thing, all the world knows, no woman be she high or low, rich or poor. is for war.
