THANKFUL TO BE
AMONG THE LIVING.
In the past the boy with a thirst
had to take many chances when
change for his So he was liable to
get a half pint Of anything from
vinegar and gasoline to wood alco-
hol.
He never had a kick coming and
was thankful II he woke up alive
the morning after the night before.
More and more he is learning to
quench his thirst with the wonder
full connections that are sold under
the guise of flavorIng extracts,
tonics and bitters by many delica-
lessons, soda water places. grocery
stores and near-beer barrooms In
Washington.
There are several reasons for this,
the most important and perhaps the
most dangerous one is found in the
fact that many OF these connections,
when used for beverage purposes,
are habit-forming. Once the drink
er gets good start at the game, he
begins to realize that he doesn't
care so much for whiskey after all
Then too, his fsvorite dope doesn't

booze.
The man behind the bar in the
nearbeer saloon or the foreign
gentleman presiding over the soda
fountain in the corner confectionery
store, will sell him a half pint OF
poison, which will kill him Just as
quick for one-half the price Of boot
leg whiskey.
There is a wide variety of these
drinks on the local market. Several
OF them are manufactured in this
city, but the great majority Of
them are sent here from Maryland
and Pennsylvania. One or two OF
them bear the names and addresses
of the manufacturers while the
makers of others refuse to give
any information on the labels Of
the bottles, as to who they are or
where they are.
Ranking high as a beverage,
among the rumhounds, are several
brands of Differs" that sell for one
dollar and fifty cents a half pint.

Women are going TO have their

Their energies will be employed

SOME WOMEN SHOW
LONGING FOR OLD ORDER.
Some women, with an irritation
that holds In II something of fem
mime perveraty, voice an intense
prejudice against every move away
from the old order of things. This
attitude is confined to no social
class, but one meets II everywhere.
Its opponents generally enjoy an
extensive ignorance of facts and
almost invariably seem to be in a
very bad temper.
Much of their indignation IL
aroused over the question of do
nestle service. a fertile field for
emotion at any time. Wages In
that line have gone up with the
others. And between the occasional
employer who win not pay the ad-
vanced wages and the occasional
worker whose service In worth no

Is a wide field for adjustment and

that Washington is certainly a rot
ten city.
Those who have tackled the
brandy, and lived to tell the tale, like
to get their friends in a corner and
tell them of the wonderful dreams
they had while under It's influence.
For some reason, all of these
drinks seem to take out n special
Erudge upon the nerves and the
stomach. The best natured man in
the world will load up on them and
go home and throw his wife and
children into the street without the
slightest conjunction. When crazy

connections n man will grab the
nearest weapon at hand and try to

II was up to them to get In on the

One ambitious youth started to sing
about home and mother. The bar

drank when he took his little nap
in the mountains.
BITTERS PRODUCE
DESIRE FOR SLEEP.
The drinkers of bitters, as
beverage soon find Themselves pos
sessed with an overpowering desire
to go off somewhere and sleep for
about a thousand years. When he
does wake up, he wakes UP with
wonderful head and a mighty pro-
testing stomach.
II he has the price of a few more
bottles and the strength to walk
up to the nearest near-beer bar
room for another supply, he Is all
right for awhile.
II he is broke, however, he can
make up his mind that he Is go
ing to be a mighty sick man for
the next five or six days. The doc
tor can't do a thing for him, He
finds his nerves in q terrible state
and the sight of food makes him
want to seek out dark closet and
die there. About the fourth day
he creeps from his bed down TO
the kitchen and tells his wife he
thinks he can stand a glass Of
milk and a soft boiled egg, but
the egg must be boiled very soft
II his wife Is still on friendly
terms with him, he gets II and
creeps off to bed again, Vowing
he will never touch another drop
Of bitters. A few days later he
interviews his boss, tells him all
about the terrible attack of fever
he had, gets his Job back and on
his next pay day, the chances are
that you will find him back in

that perhaps ! would need, In their
place, iron shutters to save the win
dows in case Of riots. Then 4 few
days later the iron shutters seemed
unnecessary, so I again ordered the
flower boxes. But everything Is no
uncertain that didn't put them up,
and this Is the seasons end"
This incident, though possibly an
exaggeration and intended to amuse.
is however typical Of the unsettled
state Of the English mini these
days.
CONFUSED BY A TALK
WITH THE LEADING MEN.
After taking tea with two differ.
ent women who, / was told by u
leading statesman, knew everybody
and everything and were leaders,
l was utterly confused. One ex.
patiated on the exaggerated reports
of conditions, saying that there was
no real unemployment problem, but
that the people simply wouldn't
work.
The other said: IT don't know
any why's or wherefores-but / do
know that everything Is hellish."
After that j drew a long breath
when l found myself sitting In turn
at the feet of two of England's
great women. those who have borne
the burden and heat Of the day in
the ranks of labor, and who are
now helping to mould the policy OF
the nation.
What has become of all the
women who worked 80 splendidly
for suffrage and during the war?
I asked. Did they only want free
