SALISBURY AND SUFFRAGE.

To the Editor of The Evening Journal
Sir-The vote recorded in the Unite
States Senate on the Woman Suffrage
amendment shows that both Of the Del.
aware Senators voted against the meas
ure, and against the pleadings of Presi
dent Wilson.
President Wilson says the eyes o
the world are upon us in the interpre
tation Of democracy and 1.-The passag
Of the amendment, a vitality necessary
war measure" Therefore, those mer
who voted against the measure are no,
supporting the President in his policJ
10 win the war.
The Central Labor Union has sen
representatives to our Delaware Sena
tors, presenting resolutions declaring
for the passage Of our amendment
these resolutions expressing the senti
ments Of many hundreds Of Labor I'm
ion men.
On the evening Of Labor Day Senator
Salisbury pleaded for the votes OF thu
men Of the Labor Union, as they wer
assembled in front Of the New Publh
building, depending upon their supper
Tor reelection, claiming thar they 20
him into the fight and he was thel
baby and they should take care O
him.
The Labor Herald Of May Il, i9it
contained an editorial, endorsing tn,
candidacy Of Senator Salisbury witt
these words: with this war on, an
with such statesmen as Willard Sauls
bury at Washington backing up Presi
dent Wilson wholly and energetically
it is necessary to keep at Washington
these loyal statesmen"
When Senator Salisbury votea
against the Woman Suffrage amend
ment, he is not backing up President
Wilson wholly and ene1getically.
l have discussed the vote on this
amendment with a number Of infuen-
tial members OF labor unions and they
are astounded and disguised at the vot-
ing Of Delaware's two Democratic Sem
ators against the measure and not sup
porting the President, and they feel that
they cannot vote for Senator Salisbury
in the coming election, as he has NOT
supported President Wilson in this war
measure, which is also a measure OF
democracy.
Yours truly,
Elizabeth 3. Stirilth.

At the cost Of a small jar of ordinary
,old cream one can prepare q full quar-
Ter pint of the most wonderful lemon
skin s~oftener and complexion beautifier,
by squeezing the juice of two fresh
lemons into a bottle containing three
ounces of orchard white. Care should
be taken to strain the juice through a
fine cloth 20 no lemon pulp gets in,
then this lotion will keep fresh for
months. Every woman knows that lem
on juice is used to bleach and emove
such blemishes as ~freckles, sallowness
and tan and is the ideal skin s%oftener,
Smoothener and beauti6er.
Just try it! Get three ounces Of
orchard white at any pharmacy and
two lemons from the grocer and make
up a quarter pint of this sweetly frag-
rant lemon lotion and massage it daily
into the face. neck, arms and hands. 1t
should naturally help to whiten, soften,

REWARD FOR TELLING TRUTH

Won One Vote.

Senior Costa, the Portuguese prime
minister, in excusing himself from max
Ing a speech OF the ground that he was
no orator, told an amusing anecdote ut
Il luncheon party given in his honor
during his recent visit to London. 1t
appears that when he first put up for
the Portuguese national council he
prefaced his opening address to the
electors by alluding frankly to his
lack OF oratorical gifts. After he had
finished Il man pushed forward, grasp

"Senhor, I've been a lifelong oppo-

ton / shall vote for you"
THANK you," said Costa, much graf
flied. MAY ! ask the particular rea-
son for your change of views?"

when you began that you couldn't

IN THE SPRING

will be the great test Of a life and death
struggle on the Western front. In the
everyday walks of life, it is the spring
time that brings i'll health. One of the
chief reasons why the rundown man
finds himself in a bad state of health in
March or April, is because he has spent
nearly all his hours for the past four or
five months pcnned up within the walls
of house, factory or office. 1t is the rea-
son for our diminished resistance-that
is, lack of outdoor life, coupled with
perhaps over-eating, lack of good exer-
else, insufficient sleep, and constipation.
In other words, We keep feeding the
furnace with food but do not take. out
the "~clinkers," and our fire does not burn
brightly. Always keep the liver active.
There is nothing better for health than
taking an occasional mild laxative, per-
haps once a week; such a one as you
can get at any drug store, made up of
May-apple, jalap, aloes, (sugar-coated,
tiny, easily taken }, which has stood the
test Of fifty years of approximately,

sixty-cent walls. Watch the people 60
plodding along the street. There's no
spring, no vitality. A vitalizing tonic such
as this vegetable extract of DR.. Pierce's
gives you the power to force yourself into

to make a fight against stagnation which
holds you in bondage. Try 1t now! Don't

Members of the allied military
