in urgent need of financial assistance
to better defend itself against an en-
envy threatening It's very borders, the
United states should take the lead
in extending the support requested
and that Great Britain. France and
Japan should be invited to associate
themselves with the project. Whether
the amount to be at once advanced is
more or less than the fifty million dol
lars reported, and regardless OF the
specific manner in which ii Is to be
employed the loan is an evidence OF

The l5th White House wedding
Wednesday evening scarcely made a
ripple on the surface of the social at
mosphere. The presidents niece.
Miss Alice Wilson, became the bride
of Rev. |. S. McElroy, formerly Of
Columbus, Ga, now pastor of the
Presbyterian church at White Sui
rhur Springs. In all the history of
weddings in the historic mansion. this
one was witnessed by probably the
very smallest company. There were
but 10 to sit down at dinner in the
state dining room. after the ceremony
in the blue roo'u. There were two
guests oustide the immediate family
circles of the bride and bridegroom,
Miss Elizabeth Perkins of Nhlncie,
Ind, and Rev. r. NJ. Turnbull who
was best man. The brides only at
tcndant was the bridegroom's sister,
Mrs. Crook, of Spartansburg, S. C.,
wife of Capt. Martin Crook of the
Y. NJ. {. A. service in France. The
blue room, which never admits of
much elaborate decoration because of
its own stately and significant beauty,
had great many maiden hair ferns
banked on the mantel and forming
sort of hedge around the oddly
shaped oval room. These were
studded with white hydrangeas and
white fox. blossoms quite out of the
ordinary for wedding bowers and al
tarS.
A string sextet played the wedding
marches and soft music during the
ceremony following the playing The
Star Spangled Banner" when the
President and Mrs. Wilson led the
way into the blue room just before
the entrance of the bridal party. The
bride and her parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Joseph B. Wilson of Baltimore. and
the bridegroom with his parents, Rev.
and Mrs. |. S. McElroy of Columbia,
Ca, arrived at the White House on
Tuesday evening in time for dinner
with the president and his family.
They were joined there on Wednes-
day morning by the bridegroom's
sister, Mrs. Crook, their cousins,
Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Bryant of Ten
nessee, Miss Perkins who came from
the Wilson apartment in Baltimore,
where she has been visiting, and Rev.
Charles L. King of Georgia. There
were no other guests save Miss Marg-
aret Wilson and Mr.. John Randolph
Boiling, brother of Mrs. Woodrow
Wilson.
The flowers which decorated the
White House were all gathered from
the old-fashioned garden designed by
Mrs. Roosevelt, at the south of the
mansion, and from Lafayette park,
from the large garden facing the
White House doors, on the avenue
side of the park.
Mr.. and Mrs. Walter Penheld nee
Lucille Bacon of Omaha, returned to
Washington on Wednesday morning
from Swamscot. The thermometer
went to l07 in the shade. and Mrs.
Penheld began making their plans for
getting down to the Hot Springs of
Virginia, at once. 1t is much cool
er place than it sounds and they have
gone down for the weekend, at least.
Mrs. Reavis, wife of Representative
Reavis of Nebraska, who is now in
France, will entertain the Nebraska
Girls Knitting class in her Cleveland
park home, next Monday evening.
Professor Buck, of the University of
Nebraska, who is here for war work,
and Mrs. Buck, are established in
home in Fairmont street, and have
Mrs. Bucks mother, Mrs. Hall. with
them.

~ Fraf1ce may be CLEANED from
an interesting insight into the work
of former Omaha woman, Mrs.
Flora Stanton Kalk, who is serving
as Y. M. c. A. hostess in one of its
huts located in Brest, France, for
the comfort of u. S. naval forces
operating in European waters. Spe-
cial interest attaches to Mrs. Kalk,
who is the sister of Mrs. T. F. Ken
nedy of Omaha, because of her son,
Lieut.. Stanton Kalk, naval hero, who
lost his life in the sinking of the
Jacob Jones. A steamship to be
launched in December will be christ

q Duties of Hostess.
Each day one woman is hostess

down about nine o'clock, sees that
the place has been cleaned, that the
flowers are all fresh, if not goes
out and buys new ones; that the
books are Strengthened and back in
the cases and that the writing tables
are all provided with pens and ink

Chdnged Wollo ioI Vouneh'
Women all over the country will
celebrate on August 18th the loOth
birthday OF Lucy Stone.
A Massachusetts, farmers daughter,
she has been called "the morning star
of the woman's rights movement" i"
She began her public work for equal
suffrage FIVE years before Susan B..
Anthony. She met ridicule and oppo-
sition, but largely disaxmed it by her
sweet voice and her almost magical
eloquence.
When she was born there were no
free public high schools for girls;
they were not admitted 10 college, or
to the professions. Public opinion
forbade women to speak, ridiculed
them if they wrote for publication.
and limited them to a very few Ill
paid occupations.
The world for women has been
revolutionized, largely through the ef~
forts ofvLucy Stone and her co-work-
ors. She was the first Massachusetts
woman to take a college degree (at
Oberlin. O., in 1S47). Her husbands
sister, Elizabeth Blackwell, was the
first woman to take a medical degree
Tin lS49); and when she started prac-
tce in New York City she had te~buy
a house, because no respectable board
ing house would take III . woman doc
tor. Another sister-in-law, Rev. An
toinette Brown Blackwell D. D.. was
+he first woman to be ordained a
minister Gin 1859. Now the United
States census shows more than 5000
women doctors and more than 5000
women ministers and preachers. Then
no woman could vote. Now women
have full suffrage throughout more
than half the territory OF the United
States. II

HOW TO AVOID TROUBLE

The way to avoid sickness and to keep
feeling full Of ambition is to watch your
bowels. Just as you keep the outside of
your body clean, you should also KEEP THE
INSIDE CLEAN. II - even more important
to keep the bowels clean, than 1t is TO keep
your body washed, because the millions Of
pores in the thirty feet Of bowels quickly
absorb poisons generated by decaying food
left carelessly In the bowels. Don't allow the
old. fermenting, filthy stuff to stay In your
bowels for weeks, but GET IT OUT and
keep it out. Remember. filthy bowels are the
cause Of most sickness--no stomach, liver or
any other organ can do its work with a foul
cesspool sending out gases and poisons. Even

HOW TO PREVENT
APPENDICITIS.

Appendicitis Is primarily due to the pois.
ons formed by decaying food iu the bowels
1t is a disease caused by improper and in
sufficient bowel elimination. Many people
have only q small passage in the center OF
old. stale. fermenting matter They may have
a bowel movement every day. but it is not q
complete movement and the old. stale mat
ter stays in the system TO ferment and
cause trouble. Besides appendicitis. such un-
clean bowels cause headaches. stomach trou-

of the bowels often stays in for months.
