Newly Born Picsaninny Saves
Mother From Term in Jail

Cora stole a watch from one of the
nurses. Yet she hesitated about pros
ecuting solely for the sake Of the
child. The police heard of the af-
fair. Their acquaintance with Cora
would not permit them to forget the
Incident. Cora was arrested again
and hailed before the court.
"Oh WELL" said Mr.: Given, I'VE will
have to take a desperate chance on
this woman. II we take her away
from her baby something may hap
pen to her. She must nurse 1t or It
will starve."
Cora's mother took the stand. She
had only 9 cents to her name. Both
lived in Alexandria. They didn't even
have money,'to get back with. But
stin the baby kept yelling.
Cora was brought back to the bar.
She was told to get out of-the Dis
trict as fast as she could. II she
ever came. back again and stole any
thing else, the court would absolutely
refuse to stand for the consequence.
The prosecuting attorneys turned
their back for a moment and opened
their purses. Money for carfare and
other things was put in the woman's
hand. The baby's grandmother
actually cried with joy as they hur-
ried from the court room

Of opium. is another substitute for
whisky widely sought by persons
who cannot get to Baltimore. Pare
goric contains enough opium to ere
ate a queer feeling"
Once a person gets used to Jamaica
ginger or paregorie as dope" he
rarely reverts to whisky. Paregoric
causes nervousness and hysteria, and
produces q pallor not unlike that OF
an opium fiend. ~ .t
A paregoric or Jamaica ginger ad-
dict enters the drug store with q
bottle. He tells Of a stomach ache or
a colicky baby. Woman ''dopes"
seem to be more numerous than men.
They sometimes go from drugstore
to drugstore, seeking something to
soothe their nerves. .
Grocers have reported unusual
sales Of favoring extracts. Lemon
extract contains almost "a per cent
alcohol. The stock of fiavoring. ex-
tracts carried by grocers Is rapidly
becoming exhausted, and the new
stock will contain very little alcohol.
Druggists are increasing the price
of Jamaica ginger and paregoric to
discourage their use or are refusing
to sell.
Bay rum is scare too. Alcohol sells
for more than So a gallon and the
ultimate consumer actually cannot
buy 1t at any price, unless 1t Is dena-
tured.

Snake Bite Quite De Classe;
Stomach Ache Its Successor

After forty-one dry days, not q
physician or druggist in Washing
ton has reported a single case Of
snake bite. The Zoo authorities have
actually taken down the strong wire
netting which had been placed In
front Of the snake cage, as 1t will be
needed no longer.
A few peddlers who carried a small
stock Of reptiles have gone to other
parts in preference to going into
bankruptcy. Nobody will buy a
snake.
But in place OF the snake bite has
come the old fashioned "tummy
ache" Every little while a sufferer
makes his way to a drug store and
almost begs for a dose OF Jamaica
ginger to cure a pain"
This does not mean that Washing
ton really has an epidemic of stom-
ach ache. The remedy for stomach
ache is Jamaica ginger. And Jamaica
ginger is esteemed as a substitute
for booze. But the druggist is sus-
picious of the man who habitally
has an internal ache.
The law prohibits the sale OF
Jamaica ginger for beverage pur-
poses.
There are few chronic Jamaica
ginger drinkers in Washington, az
few druggists will assume the large
risk for small profit.

Even prosecuting attorneys" have a
heart" This was proven IN the Police
Court yesterday when Ralph Given
and Fred J. Rice. assistant United

money to save a parole breaker from
OccoQuan and, incidentally, keep unit

her newly-born baby.
1t is indeed seldom that such an
occurrence Is witnessed and even

Her conviction followed and she was

PEOPLE OvERTAXED

Always remember that the high prices already upon us have taxed the common people of this country for the support of this war to much greater extent than the wealthy class would be taxed if every dollar of income of the members of that class were taken by taxation. When bread lines shall be fimilar sight in every city of this land as they bound to be if the present price of the simple neces- saries of life is maintained during the coming winter when cold and hunger are homes which have known only comfort heretofore, a condition certain to- exist during the coming Winter months unless relief from present prices can be found, it will be small satisfaction. I think, to sthe members of this Congress to realize that they have contributed to the want and suffering of the mass of people by refusing to place even an approximately fair portion of the financial burden of this war upon the rich.
 Rich slackers'' were scored by Sena- tor LaFollette who read letter from United Mine Workers official of IT, linois addressed to himself and Sena- tor Stone of Missoilri, predicting that .,the peoples patience over the mount in the cost of living had reached its linn it, and that Congress- should act, or the people woud.'
 The letter also said the people could not express their views on the war with the average man "bullieds into silence" while, armies are slaughtered in battle for the benefit of those desiring war be- cause of enormous profits.
 q believe that represents the view of a great many millions of people in thif country, said Senator LaFollette
