Washington, D. c., Nov. %.
To the Editor Of The Times.
Dear Sir: As a District mother,
i want to thank you for the pub
Lefty given by The Washington
Times to the case of the little Gar
trell boy, attacked and bitten by a
vicious hound in Washington the
other day, and / would add my
word to the controversy on the dog
question.
Why there should be any con-
troversy /, as a mere mother Of
children, and not a mother" of
some pampered animal, cannot
comprehend. For, to anyone who
has known the love Of a child, the
life and safety Of one child is in
The Washington times., 1917-11-27

deed worth that of all the animals
in the whole world put together.
The dangerousness Of dogs, it
would seem, is but one phase of
the subject, but to my mind it is
the most serious one. For even the
dog question as it touches upon the
present food situation, important
as that is, is less-so than the mem
ace Of these beasts toward the
safety Of our little ones.
Why should such q condition be
permitted to exist? Let US all
band together in some way to rid
the District, the whole country, il
Of these wild animals
that daily endanger the lives Of
innocent children. Truly yours,
MRS. c. LEE.

To Prevent Old Age
Coming Too Soon /!

"Toxic poisons in the blood are thrown
out by the kidneys. The kidneys act as
filters for such products. If we wish to
prevent old age coming too soon and in
crease our chances for long life, we should
drink plenty of pure water and take a
little Anuric," says the world-famed DR..
Pierce Of Buffalo, N. Y.
When suffering from backache, fire.
Quent or scanty urine, rheumatic pains
here or there, or that constant tired,
worn-out feeling, the simple way to over
come these disorders is merely to obtain
little Anuric from your nearest drug
gist and you will quickly notice the grand
results. You will find it many times
more potent than lithia, and that it
dissolves uric acid as hot water does
sugar.

If we had cheap wheat, shoes, over

MRS. SMITH ACQUITTED
FREED ON FIRST BALLOT OF
NUMBERING HUSBAND
Mrs. Smith Thanks Jurors Who Send
Her to Home and Little Girl as
Sobs Almost Choke Voice.

Western Newspaper Union News Service
Denver-Freedom on the first bal
lot. That was the verdict OF the
twelve men who decided that Stella
Newton Smith did the right thing
when she shot John Lawrence Smith
to death in her home, 4040 Montyiew
boulevard. on the morning OF Jan. IL.
Nor did it take the jury long to
come to its decision. Within lew
minutes of the time that 1t went to
the jury-room there came knock on
the door, which led to its opening.
and the subsequent reading of the ver-
dict which gave to a smiling, yet
sobbing woman, the happiness OF free
dom. Outside the court room. where
men and women had gathered to re-
ceive the news of the verdict, there
were cheers and hand-clapping as the
news passed to them. Within. there
were tears of joy and the sobs of hys-
terical women as they crowded about
the almost hysterical Mrs. Smith to
congratulate her upon her acquittal.
Mrs. Smith sat as one craven for
second, the features of her face dead
and still. Then the muscles worked
Historically. A laugh and sob joined
themselves in her throat. And then,
her attorneys following her. she
rushed forward to clasp the hands OF
the jurymen and thank them for their
verdict.
Il can't tell you how grateful am,
she sobbed, Il just can't tell you
you've made me happy again-I can
go home now, home to my little girl"
Then the whole forward part of the
jury room filled with a surging mass
of people, all of them anxious to touch
the hand of the woman who had been
freed, all of them struggling to tell
her that they we're glad and that the
jury had given just verdict.
