 Nothing relieved me until took Cardui. It did wonders for me-"

TURNOVER OF CLERKS.
Writer Says Housing Girls Is Not
a Solution.

Editor The Washington Herald
The Herald, the workers friend,
has had much to say, and has said
it well. favoring government clerks.
Others have also expressed their
views on the subject. Already much
good has sprung up from this seed
sowing. The government, as well
as the clerks. are under everlasting
obligations to The Herald for its
invaluable aid In this grave matter.
For three and one-half months ]
have been in a position to observe,
and have viewed the situation from
every angle, and through unbiased
eyes. I believe. In the matter of not
being able to secure and hold a
sufficient number of clerks to efi-
ciently do the work in the various
departments, the government faces
an acute situation. Indeed, a crisis
Is threatened. 1t is to be hoped
that remedy may soon be found.
Not much, as vet. has been done to
relieve the situation or to avert this
crisis.
1t appears that all clerks are more
or less disappointed on arrival The
work Is different from what many of
them expected. Few expected to be
set to work In dirty, stuffy, poorly
ventilated Easements. They expected
Washington's patriotic citizens tc

They expected an up-to-date street

LYNcHINGS SHOULD STOP.
Here's One Who Thanks President
Wilson for His Message.

Editor The Washington Herald:
Because 1t contains President Will
sons statement which denounces
lynchings in this our beloved coun-
try, a copy of The Washington Her
aid should be placed in the archives
Of all the churches, secret lodges
and in all places of public gather
ings, that 1t may be handed down
to the law-abiding little ones yet
unborn that they may see that the
United States OF America once did
have a President that was truly
worth while!
This war means something: and
ers have shed tears because their
sons are being MANNED and slain
''over there" something good IS
bound to come out of it over here,
for truly:
God moves in a mysterious way
His wondrs to perform"
President Wilson is today straining
every, nerve within him to save the
honor of the country OF which he
has the honor of being Chief Magis-
trate And where Is the loyal citi-
zen who today does not don his hat
and send UP ten thousand cheers for
President wilson, Lynchings in this
country can be stopped as easily as
the "gunmen" In New York. They
are simply murderers: and the hang
mans rope. or the electric chair.
is the only sure cure for them: and
the remedy should be applied in
every future lynching. This done
and the lynchings in America will
soon be a thing of the past
We, are not in sympathy with any
man. whether white or black. IL he
violates the law. But we have the
courts. as the President states: and
by them alone should the violators
OF the law be punished. For why
| should murderers lynch a murderer?
And why should a man who Is ac-
cused OF rape be lynched by only
his immoral equals? All this goes
to show that these things should
be left to the courts to decide.
And here's another thing: Pres
ident Wilson. in his wise and Just
attempt to give the immaculate 90
Germans the lie, has virtually un-
tied the hands Of all of the colored
boys "over there" and "over here"
for II hasn't been infrequent to hear
the colored boys-although they love
! their country-exclaim, What have
we to fight for? What protection
do we get?" But the good President
has united the colored boys hands.
Now. boys. 'On to Berlin! On to
Berlin"' and strive to be the first
brave soldiers to march down her
| streets singing 'There'll Be a Hot
Time in the Old Town Tonight"
All honor to President wilson, For
| who knows but what he was born
| for Just such a time as this! We
are going to win this war! And there
is going to be a happy. happy time
when the boys come home, And.
although am one of those who are
opposed to the whisky and beer traf-
fic. I really think some provision
should be made by the Congress of
the United States TO have "a little
somethin'" in order to make US
all doubly glad to see the boys come
home. For how can we sing and
how can we shout over the victory
won in this great world war without
"a little somethin'?" President Will
| son, live forever!

Another Sugar Saver.

Several years ago we received a
small sample package of sugar-beet
seed" writes a subscriber in the
woman's Home Companion. I'VE
had a little extra space in our gar
den, so we planted IL. About har-
vest time / visited a sugar beet fac
tory and what ] saw gave me the
following idea. which proved so sue
cessful in saving sugar that-we
have always raised few sugar
beets. Wash and scrub every par
ticle of dirt from the beets. cut in
small pieces and fill dishpan or very
large kettle. Cover with cold water
and boil until beets are very soft.
Strain into another pan and cook
sirup down until desired consistency
is obtained. being careful to skim
all impurities from the sirup as 1t
boils Add few drops OF mapleinc
to give color and flavor of maple
sugar. Cool and bottle. This last
fall we made several gallons of sirup
at practically no cost"

No doubt some expected too much.
No doubt many leave who ought 70

the government.
From all accounts. there are many
incompetent. conscienceless clerks. I
did not want to use Mr.. Borlands

Yes: there are a good many shirk-

by his nuch-taiked-of amendment,
Mr Borland has started a propaganda

country untold good. Perhaps the

This writer is an optimist by ma

sound one single note of alarm need

il exists. and seeking the best, surest

in our various governmental o. gani-

as making this prediction: The gov

dollars expended in providing housing

clerks will not go very far toward
solving the problem.
