time the white people of Washington
stirred by the frequency and boldness
of the outrages, the better element Of
the Negro population had made CO.
operative efforts for the suppression
of the lawlessness, or had given pub
lie manifestation of its disproval of
conditions-in short, if it had joined
with the white people in putting a
stop to the operations of the vicious
minority of its race, there would have
been small opportunity for the de-
velopment on the riot. In a South
ern community under conditions that
existed in Washington, the best of the
white people and the more sensible
of the Negro leaders would be found
united in effort for the general good
of the Negro population.

RULES OF LYNcHlNe.

Mobile, Ala, Register)
In the South where the Negroes are
known and where the fact is fully
recognized that there are many good
Negroes and but few bad ones,
there is seldom any showing of actu-
al race animoity. Mob action gen.
orally confines itself to the individ-
ual criminal. 1t is commonly charg-
ed by Northern whites at the South
that the Negro is lynched because he
is a Negro. If such has happened, we
do not know of a case.

queathed by Mrs Frank Leslie, widow
Of a widely known editor and publisher.
When Mrs. Leslie died few years ago
she left the bulk of her fortune to Mrs.
Gait to be used for the advancement of
the suffrage cause. The actual figures
are in the neighborhood CT S750,00O.
Mrs. Gait, who has an abiding faith
that the only reason anybody opposes
woman suffrage is because of lack of
Knowledge of its fundamental signif-
canee, decided that the most effective
way to advance the suffrage cause was
through the further education of the en-
tire public on the subject of suffrage.
She formed the Leslie woman suffrage
commission, the members of which were
to serve with her in the supervision of
the expenditure Of the Leslie fund On
the commission are Mrs. Raymond Rob-
ms, president of the National Women's
Trade Union league; Mrs. Percy V. PEN
nybacker. former president of the Gem
eral Federation of Women's Clubs; Miss
Mary Garrett Hay, chairman of tho
woman suffrage party Of New York
City; Mrs Arthur Bivermore, and Mrs.
Thomas Bucblin Wells.

Everyone Should
Drink Hot Water
in the Morning
Wash away all the stomach, liver,
and bowel polsons before
breakfast.

To feel your best day in and day out,
to feel clean inside no sour bile to coat
your tongue and sicken your breath or
duh your head; no constipation, bilious
attacks. sick headache, colds, rheuma
tism or gassy; acid stomach, you must
battle on the inside like you battle out
side. This is vastly more important, be-
cause the skin pores do not absorb i'm
purities into the blood while the bowel
pores do, says a wel.known physician.
To keep these poisons and toxins well
flushed. from the stomach, liver, kidneys
and bowels. drink before breakfast each
day. a glass of hot water with tea
spoonful of limestone phosphate in it.
This will cleanse, purify and freshen the
entire alimentary tract, before putting
more food into the stomach.
Get a quarter pound of limestone phos-
phatc from your pharmacist. 1t is mex
pensive and almost tasteless. except a
sourish twinge, which is not unpleasant.
Drink phosphated hot water every morn
ing to rid your system of these vile poi
sons and toxins; also to prevent their
formation.
To feel like young folks feel. like you
felt before your blood nerves and mus
cIes became saturated with an accumula-
ton of body poisons, begin this treat
ment and above all, keep it up! As soap
and hot water act on the skin, cleansing,
sweetening and purifying, so limestone
phosphate and hot water before break
fast act on the stomach, liver, kidneys
and bowels.~-Ady.

OYER I2,O0O,000 WOMEN
MAY VOTE FOR PRESIDENT
According to Estimate By Carrie Chap
man Gait, They Will Have the
Privilege in % States.

! New York, March l0-More than r..
| 100000 women in the United States over
q years of age are eligible to vote for
the next president in % states where
women may vote, according to an esti-
nation by Mrs. Carrie Chapman Gait,
president of the National Woman SUI
frage association, and president of the
International Suffrage alliance.
This estimate was given in a call to
the women voters of the United States
to join forces with the National Amer
lean Woman Suffrage association at its
golden jubilee convention to be held in
St. Louis March "a to 20. Fifty dele
gates from each voting state are invited
to join the delegations at st. Louis from
the 100000 members of the National
American Woman Suffrage association.
The National American Woman Suf-
frage association has invited women vot-
ers TO a national convention in order
that they may organize nationally and
unite their forces with those of other
ands," said Mrs. Gait.
"There is an obviously important ma.
tional program for women voters The
great diversity of laws which concern
women and children in our several states
is a continual menace to the safety and
welfare Of the unfortunate and unin-
formed.
"The laws of the states could be uni
fed and improvements added even in
the states more liberal in their laws, if
women voters would agree upon proper
, constructive program. 1t is a fact so OBJ
vious that it needs no demonstration
that if one section of the country is
much behind the times in education and
legal protection to women and children,
its civilization is bound to prove a deter
rent influence over the whole nation.
Therefore, it becomes the duty of all for
ward looking people to see that the laws
of the whole nation are unified and that
the standard by which to measure the
proper program for each state is the code
of laws of the most advanced states.
women voters should contribute more
to their nation and to the world than
they do when acting from a localized
viewpoint. Those who live in the valley
do not know what is to be seen from the
mountain top The opportunity to climb
the mountain and to view all humanity
in its struggle upward toward perma-
nent democratic institutions and conse-
quent permanent peace is here. The OPP
portunity to extend a helping hand to
those who are likely to find the path
rough and thorny is here, The woman
voter with the vision of coming freedom
for the race in her soul will not hesitate
to offer her service continued Mrs. Gait,
The biggest bureau of suffrage propa-
ganda in the world has been organized
by Mrs. Gait with funds she was be-
