PAID FOR FAULT OF EMPRESS
How Foot Stunning of Chinese Women,
With Its Accompanying Agonies,
Was Originated.

A small foot was at one time more
than any other item of feminine beau
ty. How the practice of stunting
the feet originated is told by
Henry Charles SIR in "Chlna as De-
scribed by Great Writer'S" He says j:
"The empress Of an emperor. who
reigned in China before the food
was found by her liege lord near the
apartment of one Of the principal off,
GERS of the household, who had the
reputation of being a lady-killer. Re-
ceiving from the emperor a severe
reprimand, the frightened woman
pleaded in her defense. that 1t was not
her fault. but the fault of her, feet,
which were so very large they bore
her to the forbidden precincts against
her will. Thereupon the emperor or
dered the fore part Of her feet ampu-
tated. To conceal the fact the en-
press announced that she was to in
troduce a new fashion Of small feet,
and all about her were ordered to do
likewise. 10
At six years OF age the Chinese girl
started to curb her feet. The foot,
below the instep, was forced into
line with the leg, the toes then
doubled down under the sole Of the
foot, the big toe being made to over
lap the others. Bandages were then
applied with horrible pressure. and
for six weeks the child suffered In
tolerable agony. After this period
the pain subsidized and the child could
totter about on the stunps. This Gus.
tom was abolished. with other relics
of early Chinese practices. by royal
edict several years ago.

THE MAKING OF
A FAMOUS
MEDICINE
How Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound
Is Prepared For
Woman's Use. :.

A visit to the laboratory where this
successful remedy is made impresses
even the casual looker-on with the reli-
ability, accuracy, skill and cleanliness
which attends the making of this great
medicine for woman 8 ills.
Over $50, 900 pounds of various herbs
are used annually and all have to be
gathered at the season of the year when
their natural juices and medicinal SUBJ
stances are at their best.
The most successful solvents are used
to extract the medicinal properties from
these herbs. o
Every utensil and tank that comes IN
contact with the medicine Is sterilized
and as final precaution in cleanliness
the medicine is pasteurized and sealed
in sterile bottles.
1t is the wonderful combination OF
roots and herbs, together with tho
skill and care used in its preparation
which has made this famous medicine
80 successful in the treatment OF
female ills.
The letters from women who have
been restored to health by the use of
lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Com
pound which we are continually pub
fishing attest to its virtue.

more long, and for simple broom
they need simply tying around stick.

SAYS JEWS OWE
CHRISTIANS DEBT
Prof.. Friedlander Explains
Why He Is Zionist, in
D. c. Temple.

.Zionism means to the Jew the hand
ful of his race who for 1000 years
withstood the Roman legions In the
land Of Palestine. Prof. Israel Fried
lander declared in his lecture, "Why
am a Zionist" at the Eighth Street
Temple last night.
Those men and women" he said,
made for their country far greater
sacrifice than did the heroic peoples
Of Belgium. We of the Jewish race
today can not honor their memory
too much"
Prof. Friedlander declared that the
strongest advocate of zionism for
the Jews were leaders of the Chris
tian race who understood the prob
lem. Among them, he said. should
be numbered such men as Col Roose-
Welt and President Wilson.
''Zionism." he said. has made great
strides in this country during the
past few years, which may be proved
by the statistical facts covering the
Zionist organization. During the last
three or four years the membership
Of the organization has grown from
1900 to 100000"

ing and health division OF the War

makes the stomach cool, pure,

Dentists warn US against the

You can easily imagine then
the amount of damage excess

Thousands of people are
using EATONIC, and the re-
suits obtained are so remark
able as to be almost unbeliev-
able. Yet their letters of
gratitude, many of which are
received daily, prove absolutely
that EATONIC does all and
even more than we claim. The
medical profession, too, recog-
nizes the great value OF this
wonderful remedy. A learned

FOR 15c MILK
Distributor Says Spring
Supply Is Plentiful and
Price Should Fall.

Milk for Is cents per quart is the
fight that is being put up by Washing
ton milk distributors for Washington
milk consumers.
With milk as plentiful as 1t is In the
outlying districts there is no reason
why Washington residents should pay
more than 10 cents as against the
present price OF IL cents per quart for
all the milk they can use. said w. A.

in Washington. around whom the milk
fight is centering. yesterday afternoon.
Steps were taken by the Maryland
and Virginia Dairymen's League in a
conference Saturday. held at the Dis
trict Building. to force Mr.. Simpson
to return to the old-rate schedule.

He has been given until Thurs
day to present his answer to the
organization at the Frederick

ing of the representative dsirymen
OF Maryland and Virginia will be
held.
The threatened boycott OF my
creamery at Frederick. and the re-
fusal OF the dairymen to send milk
to my supply depot. does not worry
me in the slightest" Mr.. Simpson
said.
Already have lined up more
than the full quota that need to
supply my customers. and notices
have been sent to the milk retail
dealers whom ] serve that my serv-
fee will continue uninterrupted in
spite of any boycott on the part of
the league or the individual dairy
man"
MIX In Attendance.
Approximately 1900 gallons of milk
are daily being received in Washing
ton. Mr.. Simpson receiving about a.
600 gallons. He is indirectly reach
ing in the neighborhood Of 1900
Washington homes.
The local distributors hands have
been tied by contracts TO the Mary
land and Virginia milk producers for
some time" declared Mr.. Simpson.
because OF written contracts they
have been. unable to allow the cost Of
milk to the local residents to fiuctu-
ate with the supply and demand. With
the abundance Of milk that exists this
season, no Washingtonian should be
asked to pay more than l5 cents per
quart retail for milk"
