Dental home.
More than 5000 persons were in

Indignation of the citizens OF Wash.
ington has daily grown since the
declaration of the war against Ger
many. For PSI days the women have
picketed the grounds with their BAN
ners. but little antagonism was mani
tested But since the declaration OF
war the people have freely expressed
themselves that the women are not
only offering an open insult TO the
president. but are doing the cause or
suffrage its greatest harm
Angry comment is TO be heard on
every street corner. Women passing
the pickets make sharp comments on
the Improperly of the attitude taken
by the women al this particular time.
Their banners, displayed for an APP
peal to the Russian mission, have
brought forth universal condemna-
ton. from both suffragists and per-
sons absolutely neutral in the matter
of suffrage
TODAY the riots called for the con-
slant attention Of the police and made
the place in front of the White House
a congregatine place for numerous
curious persons.
Noon time is the signal for the
gathering of the crowds that are in
strange contrast with the dignity and
serenity of the White House

GRATEFUL NEGRO WOMAN
WANTED TO SET EN- UP"
Returns To Thank Commissioner Oh
Prohibition and Urged Him to
Take Nip Out OF Her
Quart
Commissioner of Prohibition

Commissioner of Prohibition j
Sidney Peters yesterday received
shock. which. though extremely
humorous, contained another element,
as DIR. Peters said, not encountered in
the everyday administration Of his Of
fee. The shock emanated from an
unsuspecting and thoroughly con-
scientious colored woman. who sought
advice from the commissioner
II happened in this way: Yesterday
morning a somewhat corpulent negro
woman. of the old NANNY type,
ambled her way into the department
% prohibition, and asked that she be
allowed to talk with Mr.. Peters. The
commissions greeted her courteously,
and she told him that she had order
ed a quart of whiskey, and wanted
TO know whether she would be within
the law to claim it at the express Of
fee, notice having been received by
her stating that it was ready for de-
livery
BY means Of close questioning DR..
Peters brought to light that the ne
gress was a widow. and that she had
''puny" daughter, who, she said
from time TO time needed the stinnu-
lation believed to result from indul-
eence in ardent spirits. 1t being es-
tablished that the woman was the
head OF family, she was entitled to
the whiskey. and the commissioner
SO informed her Profusely thankful.
the visitor left Mr.. Peters office and
turned her steps south along Seventh
street to the express office.
Some sixty minutes later DR.. Pc
ters was interested to see the same
women enter his office, perspiration
pouring down her face, almost breath
less
'Mistah Peters you been mighty
kind To me- she declared to the COM
missioner. and | want to show you
that l appreciate what you done for
me 10 help me get my ticker. Now,
wants you to take a good, big drink
OF dis whiskey," and with that she
took from huge bundle OF papers
IN her arm a quart oottle containing
ardent spirits, and offered it to the
commissioner.
DR.. Peters was plainly amused at
the situation. and told the woman
that it would be unlawful for either
of them to take a drink of the whis-
key in his office.
But | wish to tell you that you
have done something that has never
been done by anyone else, Nobody
has ever returned to thank me for
anything I have done for them but
you"

That women can fight has been DEM

But so many of our American women are
worn out, anemic, and suffering from the
peculiar weakness of womankind. To
build up, strengthen and cure these veaE-
