First Arrest Made.
The arrest Of Mr.. Southwick is the
first to be made under the false adj
vertising law. Mr.. La Vigne recently
purchased number of articles at the
Southwick shops, and claiming that
the goods were not as represented in
the advertisement he entered COM
plant with the authorities.
The warrant was drawn up this
morning and served by Detective
Frank NJ. Helan this afternoon.
While Mr.. La Vigne entered his
complaint as citizen of Washington
he will have the full cooperation of
the advertising vigilance committee
of the Retail Merchants Association.
the chairman of which is Joseph Ber-
berich. Work of obviating evidence
against stores believed to be violating
the false advertising law is to be
started Immediately, it is said.
La Yigne Makes Investigation.
Mr.. La Vigne had done much good
work in behalf of truthful advertising
in New York. Mr.. Berberich imme-
diately sought his cooperation in the
Washington situation. Mr., La Vigne
heard of many complaints which had
been made concerning the conditions
here and then went over the ground
in person.
He did this as private citizen, hav-
ing his home here. Then he went out
to test some Of the advertising.
Berberich Explains La Vigne.
Chairman Berberich, speaking today
of Mr.. La Vigne's activities, said:
"Mr. La Vigne is field representa-
tive of the American Fair Trade
League, with Offices in New York city.
He has earned a reputation of one of
the foremost authorities in the United
States on methods of distribution, has
been actively identified with the great
movement now spreading over the
country for truthfulness in advertis-
ing, and just recently finished a tour
of more than $4,000 miles in two
months, addressing chambers of com
merce, Rotary clubs and boards of
trade in the principal cities of twenty
six states. The public press and trade
papers have commented widely upon
the success of his work.
''Mr. La Vigne is a member of the
New York Advertising Club, and has
been actively cooperating with sew
eral bureaus of the Associated Adver-
Using Clubs of the World, as we'll as
doing his part in exposing concerns
upon which the postal authorities were
later busy and now are issuing many
fraud orders against them.
'"The Retail Merchants Association
and business men generally in Wash

moral support of these organizations"

(From Our Regular Correspondent
New YOrk's Troubles.


''Little old New York." as the Co
thamites love to call it, has been and
is having its troubles, these days. A
street railway strike which involved
most of the surface lines and threat
ened to tie up every means of trans
portation has just ended, after cost
ing the companies involved about
$350,000. The weather has been tor
rid in the extreme, which has given
increased impetus to the infantile
paralysis plague. 1t has stricken
1888 little ones and sent 1,194 little
white caskets to the cemeteries, with
no prospects of abatement in sight.
And businessmen are now Worrying
over the possibility of a general rail
road strike which may tie up all the
lines of the country and occasion great
financial loss.

Negro Suffrage in Wisconsin

Wisconsin was quite as reluctant
three score years ago to extend the
suffrage as, apparently, she is now.
Today it is the women who are de-
MED; then it was the negro. Not at
the polls, but Wy legal decision, the
colored race finally won it's right to
vote in this state. 1t achieved the
victory just half a century ago, after
a discouraging struggle of nearly
twenty years.
The question of negro suffrage
first came to a test in Wisconsin in
1847, when the state constitution was
being adopted. 1t was then defeated
by an overwhelming vote Of almost
WO to one. In 1849 it was again
brought up, but so slight was public
nterest and so few were the votes
cast upon it, that although it won by
/ small majority, the board Of can
yaSsers disallOWed the result. Twice
more in subsequent years was the
question submitted anu 0dCu Ulm0
decisively defeated. The last re-
verse came in the fall of 1865, when
thousands Of Wisconsin soldiers de-
cided that the black man whom they
had freed from bondage was unfit for
citizenship In November, 1865, how
ever, a Milwaukee negro, named
Gillespie, brought suit in the SUI
preme court of the state for the
privilege of the vote, averrlng that
the board of canVaSserS in 1849 had
Overstepped it's authority in rejecting
the election returns of that year
The case was eloQuently argued by
Byron Paine, the great Milwaukee
abolitiOnist, judge, and soldier, and
on March q, 1866, the Wisconsin
tribunal handed down its verdict in
Gillespie's favor. The state, to it's
surprise, discovered that for over
sixteen years, its negro residents had
been legally qualified voters.

BACKACHE is A WARMING
Ladysnth People Should Not Neg
ect Their Kidneys

Backache is often natures most
frequent signal of weakened kid
neys. To cure the pains and aches,
to remove the lameness when it
arises from weakened kidneys, you
must reach the cause.-the kidneys.
If you have pain through the small
Of your back, urinary disorders, head
aches, dizzy spells, or are nervous
and depressed, start treating the
kidneys with a tested kidney remedy.
Doan's Kidney Pills have been
proved good and are especially for
weak kidneys. Doan's have been
used in kidney trouble for over so
years. Read Ladysmith testimony.
Herman Sprague, farmer, R. F. d,
No. 2, Ladysmith, says: ''My back
was lame and l had pains over my
kidneys. My kidneys were also
weak | used Doan's Kidney pills
and they soon made me better. /
have had no return of the trouble.
l am pleased to recommend Doan's
Kidney Pills to anyone that suffers
from a weak back or kidney trouble
Price soc, at all dealers. Don't
simply ask for kidney remedy
get Doan's Kidney Pills-the same
that Mr.. Sprague had. Foster-Mil-

SALTS IF BACKACHY
AND KIDNEYS HURT
Drink lots of water and stop eating
meat for while if your Bladder
troubles you.

When you wake up with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region it gen
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says a well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort of
Paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the body's urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often
get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult a good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a Tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast for few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize acids in the urine so it
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness.
Jad Salts is life saver for regular
meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot
injure and makes a delightful, etrer-
ye5cent lithia water drink.

RESOLUTION IS
LAID ON TABLE
Senate Disposes Of Cores Sea
Travel Warning.
SCENE CHANGES TO HOUSE
Foreign Affairs Committee to Report
McLemore Resolution With Rec
concentrations Kill.

| Washington, March 4.-Following
rejection by the senate of resolu
ton warning Americans not to trav
Ell on belligerent ships the house for
to 2, took a longer step toward fully
meeting the presidents wishes and
voted to report the McLemore warn
ing resolution with the recommends
ton that it be tabled
In turbulent scene, such as is sci
dom witnessed in the senate, the vot
ing on Senator Cores resolution pro
ceeded, with senators shouting Objec
tons, futilely demanding recognition
to explain their position and making
hot retorts to each other, all of which
were out Of order.
At one time so many senators were
shouting for the vice presidents recog
milton that the sergeant-at-arms was
called to restore quiet.
After having Unanswered for two
days to get the resolution in such par
hamentary position that it was dis
posed of without debate the senate
then proceeded to a general discussion
of the subject, to the dismay of ad
ministration supporters.
Some Call 1t "Scotch Verdict"
There were free expressions of opin
ion that the senate's action, because
tho yota actna11v was talxan on mo
ton to table the Gore resolution, with
a correction by the author and a sub
stitute by Senator McCumber, was in
effect a Scotch verdict" and had not
actually accomplished the purpose OF
the president.
Such statements aroused the presi
dents friends, who feared they would
produce an effect exactly opposite to
that intended, a notice to the world
that the senate stands behind the
for the rights of Americans travelling
the seas.
In it's report the house foreign az
fairs committee asserts that the con
stitution imposed the conduct of diplo
matte negotiations on the president
and with this practice the committee
does not feel it proper for the house
of representatives to interfere"
Senator Gore voted for the motion
to table and declared he considered
the administration victory a mixed
