German-American situation a proyI-

full swing and members of both the

lower branch of Congress, has been
conducting postcard campaign among
the voters of the Nineteenth Pennsyl-
yania District.

DRY PLAN IS BURNED
BY ITS OWN BACKFIRE
Prohibition Leader Insists on District S
Right to Vote.

Prohibitionists received a blow from
one of their own advocates in the House
yesterday, and last night talk was general
that their trump card on the bill for a
saloonless Washington will be played
some time this week in an effort to have
the Committee on Rules make the legis-
lation preferential.
Clarence Gibboney, OF Philadelphia, a
persistent foe of liquor, made an eloquent
plea against having the committee report
the Sheppard-Barkley bill without ref
erendum. 1t was stated later by a pro-
hibition advocate that unless the bill is
reported by Friday every effort will be
made to have the House Committee on
Rules pass a special rule bringing the
bill before the House at once.
In the course of his address to the
committee Gibboney said:
This bill contains two provisions hated
by Americans since the first day this
government was founded: Taxation with
out representation, and COnfsCation of
legally owned property without compen-
satiOn.
IF George Washington. William Penn
and Benjamin Franklin could know today
what the people and the Congress OF the
United States are thinking of doing in
the way of an injustice by COnfscating
legally held property and legally held
rights, they would turn over in their
graves
This bill comes before the committee
without the people of the District OF Co
lumbia having the slightest opportunity
to indicate whether such an act would or
would not have the support and sanction
Of a majority of the community.
In a matter so inseparably involving e
the rights and liberties and personal
habits and desires of a people, this is alb
solutely antagonistic to the whole theory
and principle of a government which
from the beginning has rested upon the
consent of the governed"
The hearings will be resumed at 10 a.
m. today. and the final hearing will be
tomorrow morning after which the Dis
trict Committee will consider the bill sec
ton by section

THENEW MEDICINE
Washington Lady Now Re.
lates an Interesting Story to
the Plant Juice Man.

Upon being questioned, the other day.
why 50 many Washington ladies' are en-
dorslnE Plant Juice, the new herbal
stomach remedy, the Plant Juice Man
said:
Women everywhere have found great
relief from stomach trouble, nervous
ness. weakness and debility through the
use OF Plant Juice. 1t builds UP the whole
body and strengthens It. clears the blood
OF all polsons and impurities, stimulates
the liver into healthy action, corrects
constipation, and clears the system of
all malaria and biliousness. Women
who have spells OF depression and bluea
poor circulation, hot flashes, numbness,
no appetite, sleep badly, and are pale
and llstless, find Plant Juice Just what
they need. 1t instills new life and vigor,
soothes the nerves, brightens the eye
and improves the complexion. Did 1t
give results other than I have outlined,
there would never be the demand and
universal satisfaction derived from Plant
Juice. 1t does all, and more than is
claimed for II.
Following Is the testimonial of a lady
(which speaks for itself:
Mrs. May Feltners OF No. 1850 New
Jersey avenue, a popular Washington
lady. recently stated:
'I have suffered with stomach trouble
for some time, and my food fermented in
my stomach and caused gas to form; I
had terrible pains after eating; was 50
nervous that I was unable to sleep AT
night, had headaches, dizzy spells, due
10 a deranged liver. and was SO con-
-stipated that 1 had to take some kind
of a laxative all the time, which only
gave me temporary relief. / had taken
everything in the shape of medicines,
and did not care whether lived or died
Plant Juice was the only medicine to
relieve me. and ! am now able to eat
anything and digest IT, l sleep we'll am
not nervous and have never had any
trouble with constipation; I am in
splendid condition, and all of my friends
tell me how we'll I am looking 1 tell
them that 1t is-Plant Juice"
