There is just one sure way to be happy
and that Is to make others happy
Making others happy does not ALWAYS
mean giving them pleasure, however
1t may mean helping them to bear pain
and that is the hospital wayi Of
happifying people.
In this fine way every PHILADELPHIA
hospital is helping to make two sets Of
people happy-the ones who give
through them and the ones who receive
through them.
This is especially true of the Charity
Hospital Of the City of Philadelphia.
1881 Vine street, for il cares for and
relieves the poor who can't do for them.
selves.
Just now this hospital-which never
charges any one for any service
needs new window screens. They will
cost couple of hundred dollars-and
every one knows how necessary they
are for sick persons.
If you feel it wolild~ be a good way 10
invest some of your money, before you
forget this need send a check or money
order to 'DreXel & Co. Philadelphh
asking that it be used for screens IN
this hospital which has been a real
refuge in time of pain and suffering
ever since 1861.

POISONED COURTPLASTER
SCATTERED BROADCAST

firm merely acts as middle men for
Bauer and Black.
G. T. Bauer. president of Bauer and
Black, stated to federal investigators
that If court plasters from his firm
had been used to spread diseases, they
had been "doctored" after leaving the
factory.
"It certainly is possible that plasters
can be used to spread disease" Black
told special agents. Wherever the
plaster is spread over an open wound
or even scratch, It gives the germ an
opportunity to get foothold in the
blood of the intended victim"
There are three sheets Of plaster in
each package, Fred Robertson, dis
trict attorney said. When sent out to
the factory there are fifty sheets to
the package. The peddlers sold or
gave away the reduced packets.
The discovery of the plot was made
by two western Kansas sheriffs whose
names the federal officials refuse to
reveal. The officers became suspicious
when the peddlers, who spoke with a
German accent, generously left sam
pies where they could not sell their
wares.

NSUFFRGAETTES
PARDONED BY PRESIDENT

terested himself In the militants'
plight, declined to comment on the
presidents action, but said he would
have something to say later.
Miss Burns declared emphatically
the presidents pardon must not be
considered as Of any Importance"
1--WE are not yet familiar with the
details of the presidents action. If
he placed any conditions upon the
pardons, of course we could not ac-
cept it." she said.
THE sixteen women at Occuquan do
not ask freedom from jail. They seek
freedom to act in the same capacities
as men.
This situation was created by the
administration and therefore the
presidents action in relieving the sit
uation is not important. Nevertheless
! the women will be glad to be out so
that they may continue the activities
We have decided to pursue until we
get Justice"
The president attached no condi-
| tions to his pardon.
