Dr. Bishop's Talks

By dr. R. u. minor. grownups, too, ®hould not make . eating of candy a I T routine dilly pracr l'i The child should be fri-J V *-' j taught early that Id Ak j “candy day” comes only once or twice V \ A a week, and on i V~\ a euch day* he may vDyt expect a few pieces 11 of pure candy, which ——ij are to be eaten alowly, after meals. Then, too, th# child should be encouraged to eat hard candles In preference to softer varieties. Pure rock candy* and lime, lemon and hoarhound lozenges are entirely suitable for children as well as for grown-ups. Such candies should b# sucked, and not crushed by the teeth. If hard candi-s such ns those named are eaten, a small amount of candy solution la continuously flowing into the stomach, where it la readily handled. On the other hand. If soft candies are eaten, there Is a tendency to consume a much larger quantity, with the result that the stomach Is burdened with a larger quantity of a much thicker sugar solution that is decidedly morn difficult to take care of. IVe can save the bowel and the stomach much extra labor if we eat hard candy and see that th# children do the same. Those who will eat comparatively large quantities of softer confections can assist in the digestion and absorption of tho candy solution by drinking a lot ol water after such Indulgence,

Margot Asquith , in Theater Address , Reveals Her Life Noted English Author Tells Americans intimate Story of Nation al Affairs . Mrs. Margot Asquith, wife of the former English premier, and mother of the Princess Blbesco, who Is the wife of tho Romanian minister to the United States, spoke at the Murat Theater yesterday afternoon, under tho auspices of the Women's Department Cluh. Mrs. Asquith said that this 13 her first extensive trip from England, and also tho only trip sh has ever made without her husband. Bhe said that It was not, as most Americans think an adventuress, who has com# to America for noterlty, but shows she earn# to rlslt Princess Blbesco and to take her daugt-la* back to England, in a fortnight. England came to know Americans, Mr*. Asquith declared, when th# soldiers passed through England, and when they wero brought to England for hospital care. Many fin# qualities which our hoys displays to the English people are being brought to Mrs. Asquith's mind each day as she comes to know ns better in our own homes, she added. Mrs. Asquith suggested that the hatred of the war Is being forgotten, but she urged Americans not to forget the love developing during the war. Among tho English people thnt Mrs. Asquith described was Gladstone, the great statesman. Upon a visit In Mr. Gladstone’s home, one time, she asked him what he thought there was about him, or what power made him such a noted and able person. Mr. Gladstone, a little embarrassed at first, hesitated, then told her, tho said, that he tougt It was te “power to concentrate.” At one time in conversation with Isord Tennyson, Mrs. Asquith said she thought that “it would have boon so much better if Jean and Thomas Carlisle each would have married some ono else that possibly both marriages then would have been happier,” but she added Lord Tennyson did not agree with her. He explained that In sneh event there would have been ft . unhappy people, while as It was there were only two. Many people have thought that Mrs. Asquith does not favor prohibition, but In yesterday afternoon's talk, she explained that her husband was one of England's most noted temperance workers. She raid thnt she believed In the modification of tho Volstead act, but added that Into a country that had never had drink, that she would not Introduce liquor. During she war the Asquith family was accused of being pro-German, j

SEES DRAWBACKS IN ‘EQUAL RIGHTS’ BILLS Trades Union League Head Fears Blow to Protective Laws for Women. Special to Indlara Daily Time# and Philadelphia Public Ledger. BY CONST VNCE I>REXEL. WASHINGTON, March 27.—The socalled blanket bills, both Federal and State, seeking to obtain all legal and slvil rights for women, received another blow, just sent to the writer for publication, by Mrs. Raymond Robbins. Mrs. Robbins is president of the National Trade Union League and also president of the International Federation of Working Women. She recently returned from a working women’s convention at Geneva and more recently presided at a conference of trade union women In Washington, where the “equal rights” legislation was under discussion. “Lest we substitute new disabilities for old, we call upon the National Woman’s party to discontinue Its efforts for blanket legislation, Federi.l or State, as a means of removing civil and legal discriminations against women. For specific legislation to correct specific discriminations we give our heartiest cooperation." The whole controversy rages around the possibility that legislation removing “all disabilities and. Inequalities” between men and women will also do away with protective laws for women In Industry. These laws have been enacted largely through the efforts of the National Women’s Trade Union League and tho National Consumers' League in State Legislatures. It la these organizations, therefore, that are opposing the campalg for equal rights now being carried on In several States where Legislatures are In session by the National Woman's ! party. j Here, It Is Important to state, that no ! one Is objecting to "equal rights," but I what the industrial women want are spoj eial privileges as well as equal rights, j Neither does any one object to cam- ; palgns for equal rights In Jury service; j guardianship of children; or th# adI ministration of property to mention only ! a few cases where women are dlscrlml- ' nate against In most States. But they j want separate bills to enumerate these discriminations, rather than a "blanket i bill” removing all civil and legal Inequalities between men and women. That such “blanket” bills, now sponsored by th# National Woman’s party, would throw out protective legislation. Is the assertion In the statement of Mrs. Raymond Robbins, voicing the opinion of the National Women’s Trade League of America. It Is said the Consumers' League, feels th# same way. The controversy rages. It really goes to the root of fundamental principle* about which there is a great deal of doubt' at th# present moment. Bhould there b* protective legislation for women? No, answor *ome; yes, answer others, bej cause of every woman's potential materI nlty. That must be safeguarded not onry j in the Interest of woman herself an an ; Individual, but for th# benefit of the State aa a whole. Meanwhile, the National Woman's Party Is keeping very quiet. It points to Wisconsin, where th# "equal rights” bill passed last June has worked very well, it is claimed. Asa matter of fact, Alice Paul, moving ; spirit of th# Woman's Party, believes i women, should first establish equality In : every respect, removing all discriminations tnd inequalities against them, opening up every opportunity for advancement and service on th# same terms as man. Then she believe# the’ time will be ripe to study what are the privileges and protection necessary for women, not only to safeguard their motherhood, but to make It possible for maternity to attain its true Importance In human relations. However, th# National Woman’s Parry !is now engrossed in preparations for , dedication ceremonies of new headquarters, on May 21, which President i Harding has sahi he would attend, that j even their “equal rights” campaign Is j taking second place. The battle of words , and wits will come later.—Copyright, | 1922, by Public Ledger Company.

although three sons were in the British service, and those at homo were doing war work. At one time Mrs. Asquith said she met an American actress who, not knowing that she was talking to Mrs. Asquith, told her of the report that Princess Blhesco was to marry a German Admiral. When Mrs. Asquith made herself known to thla woman, she said that she believed that the actress was carrying false witness, and that she believed “Thou sholt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.” Mrs. Asquith was qnlfe pleased with Indianapolis, and stnd she regretted very much that her visit had to be cut short.

PATRONESS OF FLOWER SHOWS

,

Mrs. Caleb S. Denny has always been a lover of flowers. In 1803 she was asked to glvo the welcoming address at the State flower show held at Tomlinson Hull. Mr. Denny, ts mayor of Indianapolis, had given the welcoming address at four previous flower shows while he was mayor. Asa novel feature of the 1893 ahow, and to reliev# Mr. Denny of the monotony of duty each year, John Berteromnn suggested that they ask the wife of the mayor to speak. Mrs. Denny accepted graciously and on the night of the opening she spoke la such beautiful terms of flowers that E. G. Hunt of Terre Huute, president of the florists’ organization, was unable immediately to respond. At about this sam# time FTed 11. Lemon, florist In Richmond, was developing a special chrysanthemum which he asked as a favor of Mrs. Denny that she let him eall the Cower for her. Today we have a Lemon chrysanthemum with the center petals of magento. This Is the

Princess or Adventuress?

CHAPTER Xlll—Continued "Well, I don’t know, Prothro; there’s a rumor going the rounds this morning, still It's only a rumor.” "What rumor?” "It has come ever the wire#. Only a rumor as yet, mind you, that President Mailero has been assassinated.” "The h—l you say?” “It is not yet confirmed, but the town is in a turmoil over It.” “We’ll start right away, Mora,” Trothro turned from the phono and spoke to me. It wa th# first time I had ever seen tears In bis honest blue eyes. “That man was one of my best friends. Glad.” he said; "and something tolls me that the news is true. Glad, we're up against it. Jarndyce was one of Madero* special friends; we hold our concession from him; w# were going to back his government to th# limit But that isn't tn@ main thing that bothers me. He was a good man, ad n good man. Hay, I wish you hadn’t got your shoulder hurt again, lut it's r good thing you can handle a pistol with your left hand. We ll hnvo to tuko some precautions going down today ; both locomotives are at the other end of the lino and we’ll hnvo to run down on the speeder. Those bandits haven't taken to plain murder yet, and I suppose you hear a sort of charmed life with them; still ’’ He banded me two loaded automatics, and himself thrust two more into his pockets and picked up two rifles and a belt of cartridges. “The road is guarded after a fashion," he said, “still it is impossible to guard every foot of it." He onlied Spinks and put him in charge. "Mount your machine gun, Spinks,” he said. "Mount it there on the platform above tho machinery where is commands tho gate, and place your men In sheltered places among the machinery. Don't try to guard the wall. You've got all the advantage so long ns you stay inside the patio. There'll probably be no dirty work up here, but there's nothing like being prepared." We started up the short grade in the brilliant afternoon sunshine, X with the feeling heavy upon mo that we were at tho end of our desperate venture. We ran safely up to the tunnel at the pass and there spoke with tho tunnel guard, an old Mexican absolutely loyal to Prothro. Then we ran cautiously through and started down the other side running for the most part under our own weight and with brakes playing to control our speed. We reached the switchboard and stopped and spoke with a gang of track men there, who reported everything O. K. for four miles down Wo ran through four more short tun nels successfully, but in passing along a high loop we found oursfeives Suddenly the target of long range firing. Three or four bullets sang above our heads and Prothro laughed. “Feel nervous?” h# asked.

MRS. CALEB S. DENNY.

Carrie Denny chrysanthemum. The following year Mr. and Mrs. Denny bad the privilege of visiting in California, aud made the acquaintance of the French artist, Paul Do Lampre, and of going through his studio. Among his paintings he had a group of chrysanthemums, with a bee flying over them. The center chrysanthemum was a Carrie Denny chrysanthemum. Upon being questioned regarding this picture, Mr. De Lampre said thnt he had painted the new species at a florist’s In Indiana. Mra. Denny explained that It was the flower named for her. In Mrs. Denny's garden sb has several slips of the velvet rose out of the garden of Henry Ward Beecher, who was the Sunday school teacher of Mrs. Denny's mother. Mrs. Denny, though a lover of flowers, seldom keeps them for her personal use, but passes them on to th# person who most needs thalr Inspiration.

By AUGUSTIN W. BREEDEN

“A little.” It was my first experience of the sort. “I’ll wring that woman's neck when we get to Guanajuato,” fc# said grimly, while he cautiously eased off on the brakes and we shot forward and out of range. And then before na, wo both saw it at once, two rails carefully bent out of place by removing the angle bars. Simutaneousiy he killed his motor and clapped on all the brakes we had, and ths little car rattled over the place and came to a dead stop Just beyond. We were both off !t and upon the sills in a Jiffy. But while we were lifting it back upon the track a hall of bullets began to fall thickly about us. Two or three ! passed so closely that I felt the wind of them, and I suddenly had a sickening sensation near the pit of my stomach. This was the second time that I bad an opportunity to witness the supreme coolness of the engineer. He did not pretend to return the fire, but bade me be seated and busied himself once more starting off his car. As we started off I th# firing redoubled, and Just as the engine hit a few times a bullet plugged our gasoline tank thru and thru. But we had our start and we rolled on down tho grade with a speed that wns too great for the precarious condition of the trackway and entirely too slow for me when I considered those bandits in the pinol above us. Yt> soon rolled out of range for the second time, however, and then on * level piece of track two miles below were about to come to a dead stop, and had to get out and push the car for half a mile, before we could roll again down the grade. “Brave men,” grunted Prothro in disgust. “They might have murdered us at their ease In any tunnel along here, but they were afraid of getting pinked themselves. Brave men! Were you nervous thnt time?” “Somewhat.” “You’ll get used to it.” he laughed, “sniping is a Mexican pastime.”

CHAPTER XIV. Prothro decided upon reaching Guanajuato that it wouldn’t do for him to see Madam# Trabajar, that it would only result in an open breach with her, and to send me as tho company's representative, agreeing to keep a close lookout to see that I was not murdered by the minions of the .adventuress. The rumor that tho President had been assassinated was confirmed before we reached town, and that, was tho first news with which Mora greeted us. Tho little Mexican was plainly nervous and advised his chief that wa drop our enterprise, at least till political conditions became more settled. Prothro’s look and words wilted tho littlo man in a minute. That scene at the dinner table of my

DID YOU KNOW— You should never read over anyone's shoulder. You should, when someone Is calling on an absent member of the family, invite them iu for as long as their stop is to be. You should arrange all dinners #o that not more than an hour and a half of time will be taken up.

“princess” that night was in sharp contrast to the adventure I had been through during the day. She was surprised when I told her that Barnette had been spirited away and that I had been fired upon. I think she was actually annoyed at hearing the latter information. I gradually warmed up and began to speak quite frankly to her. “I admire you,” I said, “I admire your grit, your nerve, and at times i feel that I love you. You have professed repeatedly your love for me. Is this tho way to treat a lover, to have him ambushed and murdered?” “Believe ie, Herbert”— she had long since taken to calling me by my middle name—“l knew nothing at all of any of these acts. Neither did I know of that murder done at sea, of which you accuse Sifert and Seriano.” "No. you perhaps do not direct these things,” I said, “but you employ a gang of cutthroats and give them carta blnaehe to do what mischief they please. You are morally guilty of the death of three men that I know of, and of no telling how many more. Say, Ynez, do you have any idea what sort of men you are dealing with in Prothro and Jarndyce? They will crush you absolutely. Prothro has already warned me that he will crush m# if I go over to you." She clinched her littlo whit# fist and beat th# table. “Grlngoes!” aha cried. “And very dangerous men for you ta deal with.” She threw up her head and laughed. I wanted to make her angry, to mak<* her show her hand; but I failed to do so, becansa I did not dare come to an open break with her. In a few moments she began to try cajolery with me; but she had become in the last few days as hateful to my sight as a snake, eo that oil her sweet cajoleries only made me despise her the more. But she made mo believe that she still loved me—perhaps that was my man’s vanity—and succeeded in making m# believe before I left the house that she knew nothing absolutely of the movements of Slfert and Seriano or of the whereabouts of Barnette. Before I left th# house I offered her the most flattering terms to quit the fight and com# in with us; in my desperation to save Prothro and his schemes I even offered to marry the woman. She seemed flattered, but said she would make no deal whatsoever with Trothro and Jarndyce, and then she reminded me with a smile that Madero, “Prothro'a dear friend,” was no more. It was with the greatest effort that I controlled my temper till I could get out of her pres# encs. Prothro lost his temper when I told \ him and Mora of our interview. | “VT# can't stoop to their methods," he said; “but we’ll crush them. Jarndyce j has never yet failed to put over any I deal he undertook; and he will put this ! one over. They may get me, and they may get you; hut Jarndyce will defeat | them in the end." j I found that rather poor consolation, I and little Mora found It still poorer, but wo didn't tell Prothro so, I hardly know how I lived through the following week, spending as I did so | many hours of It in the presence of this i vixen. She was madly found of the game of parchesl. Imagine mo sitting and j playing that silly game with her hour i after hour while Barnette was perhaps , rotting In some mountain gulch and ! Prothro was In Yera Cruz cabling cipher I messages to my cousin, or in Mexico i City trying to find out who was in the I saddle, in order to offer them golden \ ! bribes for a renewal of our concessions ' i and such military protection as they ! could produce. Mora was also gone, j but I made it a point to talk with ! Spinks over the phone every day, and I also to see Hathaway, who was in charge I of 'guarding our railroad. I But I was not entirely Idle. I dej cided I should come at the bottom of ! this woman's mischief If I had to play j the traitor to myself to do It. I finally | yielded to her cajoleries and agreed to ! give over my friends and go over to her completely, to marry her and to raise the money she needed to drive out Jarnd.vee and his crowd and help her develop the mine. The time seemed propitious. She proved to me that Madero had been greatly helped in his political ambitious i by my cousin's money and influence, and now Madero and his forces were out of the saddle, it looked even to me like her Inning had come. I had hinted i to Prothro that in order, if possible, t I get a line on Barnette I might play this game, but gave him my word that I would be true to him and Jarndyca to the death. The woman was completly tnben in and began at once to plan a sort of wild honeymoon in some out-of-th-way spot I had never heard of, but within rltilng distance of Gunuajuaro. The morning of Prothro's expected return she and I rod# out of Guanajuato on two magnificent horses she had furnished for the purpose. Our destination was a lonely mountain convent where she said she had been imprisoned as a girl in order that she might he trained to give np her heresies. The nuns there were all fond of her, she said, and would gladly sanction our marriage and call In a father to perform it, since it would he thereby celebrated as a Christian wedding—so much for her claim of being a sunworshiper by conviction.
