KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-If You Know DR..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to feel
young - to do this you must watch your
liver and bowels - there's no need of
having sallow complexion - dark rings
under your eyes - pimples bilious
look in your face - dull eyes with no
sparkle. Your doctor will tell you ninety
per cent of all sickness comes from in
active bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, a well-known physician
In Ohio, perfected a vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels, which he gave to
his patients for years.
DR.. Edwards Olive Tablets, the substi-
tute for calomel, are gentle in their action
yet always effective. They bring about
that eXuberance OF spirit, that natural
buoyancy which should be enjoyed by
everyone, by toning up the liver and clear
ing the system of impurities.

COAL SITUATION SERIOUS
Many Homes Are without Fuel For
Winter

Many homes are without coal.
With approximately $4,000 tons OF
anthracite coal arriving per month,
the present shortage of orders al
ready on hand will be something like
12S,000 tons. With the closing of the
month of October, at the present
ratio of receipts, seven-twelfths of
Baltimore's allotment will have ar
rived and it is a serious question il
the remaining five-twelfths. which
represents a delivery period of FIVE
months, or including the month Of
March, 1919, will nearly meet econom-
zeal demand and use.
Last year the city officials came to
the rescue of emergency cases and
sold in connection with the director
of the Alliance of Charitable Agencies
a total of $500 tons of soft coal This
agency will perform this winter a
similar duty. but IL will only engage
in the distribution of soft coal and
only in emergency cases.

By SARAH ARLINGTON REID

TIME Federal amendment is patriotic
necessity: this is the contradiction that
Mary Ritter Beard makes to those who
say that suffrage has place in war time,
and that suffragists who press their cause now
are disloyal to their country.
Mrs. Beard is the wife Of Dr. Charles Beard,
who recently left Columbia University because
of the repressive atmosphere in which his free
thinking mind could not breathe, and, like that
Of her husband, Mrs. Boards thinking is per
fectly unrestricted by what other people think
or by anything else, indeed. 1t is not surpris-
ing, therefore, to hear her say:
That because English women dropped suf-
frage for war work, American women need not
do the same thing;
That the Federal amendment, now out Of the
hands Of women and in the hands of polit
clans, cannot possibly he headed off at this late
stage Of the game, and
That national woman suffrage during the
will mean indignation in the United
States.
Mrs. Beard knows English suffrage because
she learned it from Mrs. Pankhurst herself
when she just young woman living in
England
But, she protests, 1--WE do not need to fol-
low England in everything she does. Tic
United States and President Wilson are pro-
claimed the leaders of the Allied forces we
must lead in suffrage as we'll as in other war
measures and issues.
Suffrage was still long way off for Eng
land; perhaps it best for the English
women to drop it temporarily. But here in the
United States we were much closer to it.
Both party con sentions declared for the prin-
cple Of suffrage in 1876 New York enfran-
chiscd her women; all statesmen and most
politicians are proclaiming themselves the
champions Of suffrage because they see that
the political future Of parties is going to de-
pend upon the favor Of women voters.
''The Federal amendment was bound to
come to a vote. Think what a reasonable
thing it would have been for suffragists to stop
working for its passage-al these years, all
these sacrifices, to count for nothing, because,
indeed, some people think that it isn't patriotic
to want to vote
"Suffrage is no longer piece of propaganda
engaged in by a relatively small group of
women; it is an integral part of the political.

Miss Fraser laughed heartily. "That,"
she said, 'is the funniest part of it ALL You

didn't want to stand in the way of their
getting it or have the fact that we were in

slightest danger Of it's preventing the SOL
ders and sailors from receiving the right to

then, all our women are like that! We did
have a good laugh, though, when that mes
sage came.
I'VE made no demonstration in favor of
the bill, but remained perfectly quiet until a
few days before the question came up. Lloyd
George, who for suffrage, you know

he might talk with them and be thoroughly

Sparks From the Anwl

Queen Mary of the British Empire sent the
following New Years greeting to the women
of America through Dr. Shaw chairman Of the
women's committee Of the Council of National
Defence:
81 received with much satisfaction and pleas
ure the friendly message you addressed to me
from the womens committee of the Council of
National Defence of America
Please convey to the sisterhood of YOUR
great country the warm thanks of the women
of the British Empire for their inspiring words
OF encouragement and assurance. The horrors
OF war have taught US to know another
better and they have strengthened the ties of
klnship and mutual sympathy by uniting the
women Of the English speaking races heart and
soul in the struggle for liberty and civilization.
Confident of the valuable help we women can
give gallant sailors and soldiers. I pray
TO Gods richest blessing on our efforts

The 10Th Assembly District Republicans are
about to move their headquarters, and it's all
the fault of the women. Why?
"Because,' says Stanley NJ. Isaacs, chairman

er-are-wel, you see, We're at present stu
atcd over a pooroom and the ladies might
not-er-take to pool as we men DO, so wen

Who said women would not have refining
influence in politics?
Dr.. Anna Howard Shaw celebrated the
Christmas season by adopting French baby
and in so doing deprived the anti-suffragists of
their favorte reproach-i. e.. that Dr. Shaw,
the leader of em all, didn't have a child To
her name.

minds. Surely it is better to give these women
the vote, and release their energy for the direct
patriotic work that the nation needs
Walter Llppman has said that national
woman suffrage will integrate the country;
that IS precisely what | mean when I say that
we ought Immediately to put all women on the

men in England. OF course, this number has
been greatly increased since so many of our
men have been killed. The women's vote
would have swamped the mems if every wom-
an became voter. This was the greatest
argument that the 'antis' had against suf-
frage.
"And SO we were always devising some
sort of division. At one time we thought
that the vote should be given only to wage
earning women; at another only to single
women, cutting out the wives and mothers
who were represented by their husbands or
sons. But, all in all, it seems to us that
giving it to all women over thirty years of
age is the wisest and fairest plan. We are
all, think, quite satisfied with this arrange
ment."

women voters? You are distributing litera-

And then Mrs. Beard gave
a reason for seeing it through
that ought to appeal to the
indignant men and women who
are accusing suffragists of
sedition, obstruction and other
ill-sounding motives. Most of
these DIRECTORS, after all, do

that every woman ovec twentyone would be
