I knew that she was not UNHAPPY
over any episode that she had had
with Hal. She was too self-cen-
tered-too much in love with her
self. And because of this, it was
much easier for her to flatter
him into thinking that he per-
haps had been the one love OF
her life.,
Hal was much impressed with
her little vaudeville act and he
looked at me furtiyely for fear
that l would feel there was some
thing about their lives that l
ought to know. However, he
still was not able to suppress his
masculine egotism, for he said:
"Then you have had joy and love
that makes its memory sorrows
crown, Nell?"
"Of course, Hal. I have had
joys and been in love many times
and that's why l don't care to

son for the drop is the large ship

creamery butter selling for 81 and
35 cents retail there will be little
demand for country butter selling
at 30 cents, unless put up in better

The price of California vegetn-

cause OF the exorbitant express

Shipping is sometimes almost equal
to that of such produce.
Strawberries, however, have
dropped on the wholesale market

MARYLAND WOMEN

Voters Believe Men Have

Special Dispatch to The Star.

CPcCidi blspdttu to He StdE.
BALTIMORE. May 2S.-That the
woman voters intend to demand party
backing of several woman candidates
in both parties for the legislature,
and intend to kick over the traces and
form their own orga anizations If il is
not given, is becoming more apparent
every day. This situation applies with
equal force to both the republican and
democratic parties of the state.
The republican women for weeks
have been expecting the men to cali
a joint meeting of the leaders. among
both the men and the women of party.
and they have also been looking Tor
d definite assertion from the men as
to who. among the women. they will
help in legislature campaign. They
have been led to expect this action
by promises of Chairman Galen l..

and Congressman John Philip Hill,
chairman of the city executive COM
mittee.
beginning to Doubt.
In the absence of any such move by
the party leaders the women are be-
ginning to believe that no such ac-
ton will be taken, but, on the con-
trary. that the men will do everything
in their power TO keep d woman from
running for the legislature this year
IF this is the case. 1t Is felt something
should be done Immediately to thWart
such d plan
There are many who say: why wait
for the men at ali? If a woman wants
to run for the Legislature. let her get
out and hustle for the nomination as
q man would.
In the democratic ranks much the
same situation exists. except that the
women have not been completely
ignored by the party leaders On the
contrary the women have been in
vited to the various district commit
tee meetings. but nave not been given
any say in the selection of district
leaders nor any encouragement to
present candidates for the legislature.
Fight Against Boss Control
This has led to a split. and the first
open stand against boss control was
taken this week by members of the
Womens Democratic Club of the
twelfth ward. who are organized. it
was announced. for the sole purpose
of making a drive On the part of
women against the old ward-boSs-
control system.
We will not permit the men of
any democratic group to choose our
leaders for us and tell US how we
shall vote and when we shall act"
said Mrs. Douglas Thomas. organizer
of the club. The platform of our or
ganization is a platform free from
gression upon us by any ward politi-
clan seeking control of US We want
a democratic party without split,
working for the best interests of the
community through the party"
While there is a decided hesitancy
among both republican and demo-
cratic women about announcing wom-
an candidates for the legislature this
year. it is almost certain that the
former will have one and possibly
several in the field. Members of the
democratic womens clubs, however.
are not generally in favor of putting
up a woman for the lesisla ture this
year. Many of them are of the opin-
ION that it is far better. as one of
them expressed it. ito concentrate on
securing good men in the legislature

The best way 10 Judge the benefit OF

one who has been benefited by It.
There is no theory about the benefit
derived from Plant Juice. the famous

of this kind, for one has the benefit
of some ones practical experience.
Take. for instance. the statement
recently made by Mr.. Thomas J..
Kelly, Of No. S76 East 18th street,
who said:
81 think II no more than right
that I should give this public state
ment to tell what wonderful benefit
had from your Plant Juice. I had
suffered with rheumatism for years:
my stomach was in a bad condition
and 1 had indigestion so bad that
1 could scarcely keep any solid food
down as it would sour and cause
great quantities of gas to form; I al
ways had a bad taste in my mouth,
was constipated. had headaches.
heartburn, my kidneys and bladder
were out of order and I was so ner-
vous that 1 could not sleep. Many a
day 1 would be laid up I'm bed and 1
had such cramps in my limbs / could
not walk. ! had taken many differ
ent medicines and treatments but
never found anything to give me re-
lief until 1 started to take your Plant
Juice and TO show you how much I
think OF Plant Juice. I made the trip
from Philadelphia to Wilmington to
get a bottle Plant Juice has com
pletely relieved my rheumatism and
I am now able TO sleep the night
through. am not constipated, and my
stomach is in such good condition
that / can eat anything 1 want with
out the slightest distress afterwards
I do not have any trouble with my
bladder or kidneys. I am glad to en-
dorse Plant Juice as the greatest of
all medicines"
The Plant Juice man is at The Mil
Ter Drug Store, 4O4-4O6 Market
street, where he is daily meeting the
local public and introducing and ex-
planning the merits Of this remedy.
