GET ADVICE FROM COPS
Washington, Jan. 11.-Coffee and
doughnut squads were organized to-
day by Congressional Union officials
as an adjunct or supporting force to
the silent suffrage sentinels who to-
day continued their rather chilly task
of picketing the white house. With
a hep-hep and left-foOt-right-fOOt,
the sentinels marched out from Con-
gressional Union barracks, within
sight of the white house, and at 10
o'clock again took up their posts at
the east and west gates, with seven
foot banners Hopping and whipping
in the January gale.
If the suffs anticipated any thrills
attendant upon trouble with the pO-
lice they were doomed to disappOint-
ment today when Major Pullman, po-
lice chief, announced he would not
Interfere with them as long as they
went no further than they did yes
terday.
In fact, policemen on the white
house beat were annOyingly kind.
They persisted in making all sorts of
kindly suggestions as to pavement
pounding.

in prophesy? Here is one: In 1896
I visited by old father in Wissek,
Posen. and there l saw the old min

gentleman at that time was in the

what he said: Fritz, my boy, I al

number Of hours and cut into small
pieces, it was made into a stew with
onions. Some people thickened the
and HerYed it with spetzel, a
South German dumping made of

After one or two attacks Of nausea,
people came to like the connection.
It filled q vacuum, and that is every
thing when ones head is light from
a still lighter diet. The same meat
corned and called robbins fleisch was
sold, and served in slices, at 4 marks
a pound. It was a very good imita-
ton of corned beef, better than stew
ed, and could be eaten cold On bread.
AS the potatoes became scarce the
bread which had been doled out on
allowance began to deteriorate in
quality. As long as it was composed
of 20 pei cent of potato flour it was
not bad, and served to satisfy the
children when spread with malt ex-
tract, in place Of sugar or syrup. or
