British women are demanding
that they have the Same chance
Of winning a title through merit
that a man has. This Is the word
that has been brought, to Wash
ington by Miss Helen Fraser, can
didate for . scat In the British
Parliament.
"It isn't fair" said Miss Fraser
to mo over q cup of fragrant Eng
lish tea at the New Willard, that
men should through the merit sys-
tenn be given titles while women
who have done equally meritorious
work for the country, and some
times a greater work, should 20 IN

usually takes place In the throne
room Of Buckingham palace. Tho
candidates for honors are lined
up and the court chamberlain reads
off the things for which the person
Is to be knighted for. Very often
this consists only in contributing
literally to charities in which the
King and Queen are particularly
interested in. While this does not
seem to be a very. worthy reason
for bestowing titles upon people It
really works to the advantage of
the common people in that chart
ties are well supported. One BY

the King and he touches :hem upon

BEWARE OF
UOGGED KIDNEYS

Use SolvaX to stimulate their ac-

your blood.
Often the violent headache
comes from poisons in the blood
that congestion in the kidneys has
failed TO pass out through the
bladder. General disturbances, diZ-
ziness, back pains, tired feeling in
the legs and mental depression are
some of the symptoms apt to fol-
low. Your best medicine to relieve
this condition is Il remedy called
SolvaX, sold by Daniel J. Fry and
other leading druggists on the
liberal plan that you can try il
and if it doesn't prove satisfactory
they will refund the price paid
for it. For the reason that the kid
neys themselves do not ache, very
serious conditions may set in,
simply Because the general dis
turbances and other symptoms are
not recognized as due to clogged
kidneys. Try SolvaX. 1t cannot
harm you and may be exactly what
YOU needed to feel well again.
