At the age of 15 she was married and before she became 17 she was a mother.

Writer Declares Booze Is Sold Openly and Above Board if You Know Where to Go for It —Bottled in Kentucky, (Reprinted by permission from The Ladies Home Journal.) By A. B. MacDQNALD I reached Washington early one Saturday morning and went to one ol‘ the biggest nd best hotels there, a hotel known throughout this country as a favored gathering place for Senators, Congressmen and men high in the politics of the Nation. In my room I laid out some clothing that needed pressing and rang for the valet. He was a man of middle age, short, stout and talkative. As he stood, with the clothing over his arm, 1 said: “I would like
to get a bottle of good whisky.” He looked at me sharply, fiddling with the stubby pencil In his fingers, and sparred back with: “I don’t know about that. Where are you from?” Kansas City; just got here this morning.” He turned up one of the buttons of the garments hanging over his left arm. The name of a tailor in Kansas City was imprinted on Its under side, lie saw it and seemed satisfied. It was evidence that I was telling the truth. “How much will it be?" I asked, taking some bills from my pocket. “Sixteen dollars a quart,” lie answered. I gave him sl6 and in fifteen minutes he returned with a woman’s brown skirt on his arm. He closed the door and took from beneath the skirt a quart bottle of whisky. He reminded me of a magician I had seen take a rabbit from Inside a man’s coat. He pointed to the green "Pottied in Bond" strip and the word "Export” In red letters over the cork, and said: Bottled in Kentucky "This Is bottled at the distillery In Kentucky and shipped over to the Bahamas, or some place, and then smuggled back in again. It’s the pure stuff. That’s the kind the Senators and other big bugs drink hero." I asked him if they drank much of it and if he sold much. He threw his, head back with a quick laugh and answered "Huh, gorry, if they leave me alone for a while longer, 1 won’t press no more pants.” As he went out he advised me: "If you need any more while you're slaying here let nu know ” It was th* first whisky I had bought in seven yours. The chemist, who afterward analyzed it, reported that It was "apparently genuine.” but It had a high content of fusel oil, which was evidence that It was new whisky’, and not. as the label guaranteed, “Bottled j In Bond, Spring of 1915.” I found out later that the valet had overcharged me. The regular price for labeled "Bottled In Bond' whisky In Washington was sl2 a quart, and for unlabeled white whisky, known to the , trade its “corn.” the price was as low 1 as $4 a quart. I could have bought at those prices, enough whisky to load a freight car. I recalled that an old printer friend of other days was at work in the Government printing otlice. I went there and found him. After tho usual greetings, l safil: "Bin, do you still take a nip once in a while?” Pre-War Bar "Sure, you can get It hero in a dozen places,” ho answered He I agreed to pilot mo and we went to gether down the street a block to a saloon It had th'* appearance of an old-time, pre-war sajoon. with a cigar counter just Inside tho door and a long bar down ono side. 1 leaned one elbow on It, put a foot upon tho brass rail and tried to look as If that was ono of my regular habits. Tho bartender, with a white' apron on. swabbed the top of tile brii in front of us with a dirty cloth and : then stood waiting for the order Bill held up two fingers and said: “Two half pints.” "Yes, Pete.” yelled the bartender toward the pool hall In tho rear, and as a young man came out, "two hah pints, Pete.” Pete went back through the pool hall mid -vanished into the back yard. In a minute he came hack and handed Bill two half pints of white whisky. Bill gave ono to mo and put tho other in Ills own overcoat pocket. I gave tho boy a $5 bill and he gave rue $3 In change, j This' was till done openly, in front I of tho bar, In sight of fifteen or twenty I men and boys.
“Panther” Makes Voii Wild Coming away Bill aaid that this kind of whisky was known as “panther.” because it made a man wild. He thought it was moonshine corn whisky made by farmers over In Virginia. lie know it was sold in dozens of places all around that quarter, within shadow of a Catholic church across the street and the Government Printing Office, the Postoffiee and Union Station. Next 1 called upon a friend from the West who is head of a Government department. After a little talk about old times I broached the subject of whisky. He said lie never ordered whisky delivered at his office because ho did not want the clorks to see bootleggers coming and going. Ve agreed that ho would have the whisky delivered to us at noon in the office of a friend In a building In the center of the retail shopping district of Washington. My friend drew his desk telephone to him, called a number and said: "This Is 203. Deliver one red at 12:30 today to and he gave the office number. That afternoon I called upon an old acquaintance, a politician from a western State, who maintained an office in Washington while lobbying something through Congress. I shook hands and as there were several persons in his office I started to go, but he detained me with: '“Don’t go. Stick around: I’ve got some good whisky coming up." Spread Eagle and All I waited, and in a few minutes a young man came in, quiet and business like, as the other had been, with u brief case in his hand and he delivered a bottle of the “Old Lewis Hunter Rye Whisky," with the same label, spread eagle and all. loiter I went, to th 6 Senate Office building to call upon a friend and INFLUENZA . dl 7 As a preventive, melt ana IQ? • hale night and morning— VICKS ▼ VAPORUi Over 17 MUUon Jan Utci Ytarig
he pulled open a drawer of his desk, | took out a bottle, patted it lovingly and said: “Here’s a bottle of the real old stingo. Pure pre-war stuff. There isn’t much of it left in this country. I cherish It highly—keep it for my friends from out West.” It was the same "Old Lewis Hunter J . Rye Whisky,” with the same flying j eagle on Its yellow label. Late that afternoon I called upon a newspaper correspondent from the West and I told him why I was in i Washington. “Any one can get all the booze he ; wants in Washington if he knows tho I ; ropes. How would you like to visit : a regular bootlegger In his lair?” he asked. We went in a taxicab to a house of stone and brick. A woman opened | tho door. My friend greeted her with a cheery, “Hello, Mabel,” and as we ’ went In he paid: “This is the Rev. | Mr. Macdonald, a Presbyterian min- | ister from out West; he wants a botI tie of gin.” She laughed as she led the way through the hall and Into the dining j room. “You’re not kidding me, fori we have more than one preacher on I cur list,” Hho said. Wo stood at tho diningroom table; while she went into the kitchen. She i ; came out with a square quart bottle ! of Gordon gin. It was $5.

The chemist found that this bottle j lof gin was not genuine. It was ”syn- j thetie” gin. made of raw alcohol and i , water flavored with juniper oil. That night I was taken to a wellknown Washington club. "You don't: mean to tell me that you can get booze here?” I exclaimed to my guide., “N’ot with the knowledge of the j club, but I can connect you hero with j a very exclusive society bootlegger who handles only a very fine old Scotch whisky.” he replied.

Cox Declares No American Opposes Court in Principle Democratic Presidential Candidate in 1920 Says Issue Should Be Taken Out of Politics,
By‘United S'eus CHICAGO, May 9.—No American is opposed in principle to the world court of International Justice, In which President Harding has ho strongly urged American membership, former Govemor James M. Cox of Ohio, whom Harding defeated in the election of 1920, declared in an address last night to the Illinois Woman’s Democratic Club. “Wo have had international law for generations,’’ Cox pointed out, “but no court to interpret it. “The whole idea wo advocate Is American participation in International affairs," he said. “1 wotija like to see tho whole Intel-national question taken out of politics. It nothing is accomplished, however, no one can keep it out of politics in 1924. The tariff undoubtedly will be a very strong point in the platform. "The party will be unalterably opposed to the ship subsidy, too, and 1 believe it will also take a strong stand for repeal of the Esch-Cummins law.”

Houston, Former Secretary of Treasury, indorsed, By United Prcm WASHINGTON. May 9—David S. Houston of Missouri is Wodorow Wilson's present choice for the Democratic presidential nomination In 1924 Wilson has made no announcement of this—ln fact, he probably will avoid putting the Wilson seal of approval publicly on any man at this time as that might start bickerings within the party. Houston held two cabinet posts under Wilson—secretary of the treasury and secretary of agriculture. Wilson always has regarded him as one of the biggest men in the country. He was and is a Wilson disciple and a fighter when circumstances call for a fight. Houston is now in business in New York. He has been mentioned only casually among the Democratic possibilities, and careful inquiry failed to develop any signs of a boom of a campaign for him. All Indications, he is attending strictly to business and letting politics alone. He would be tremendously strong in tho West and Middle West, his friends believe. He is known both to business men and bankers and the farmers of the country. He is or strong personality, though not one of those who depend on constant aggressiveness of manner to make an Impression for them. Wilson believes 1924 should find the Democratic party squarely on record cn the League of Nations issue. It's candidate, he feels, should be one who can properly interpret the “new idealism” on international relations.
Reverting to the world ccurt, Cox said: “No one on principle is opposed to it. Even Mr. Borah, who was opposed to the League of Nations because it had the power to enforce decrees, should not be opposed to the court; yet we find him opposing an international court because it lacks power to enforce decrees. “For fifty years there has not been a difference of opinion among internatli |al authorities ns to the necessity for such a court. Every secretary of State and international authority has urged its establishment. Choate said that it would be the greatest achievement of a century: that it would not come at once, but’that we should not bo impatient of its actual coming.”
98 OUT OF EVERY 100 WOMEN BENEFITED An Absolutely Reliable Statement Important to Every Woman Remarkable Results Shown by a Nation Wide Canvass of Women Purchasers of Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound. 50,000 Women Answer
For some time a circular has been enclosed with each bottle of our medicine bearing this question: “Have you received benefit from taking Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound?” Replies, to date, have been received from over 50,000 women answering that question. 98 per cent of which say YES. That moans that 08 out of every 10<> women who take the medicine for the ailments for which it is recommended are benefited by it. This is a most remarkable record of efficiency. We doubt if any other medicine in the world equals it Think of it—only two women out of 100 received no benefit—9B successes out of a possible 100. Did you ever hear anything like it? ’We must admit that we, ourselves, are astonished.
Such evidence should induce every woman suffering from any ailment peculiar to her sex to tr* Lydia E. Pinkham’s Vegetable Compound and see if she can’t be one of the 98. The Lydia K. l inkham Medicine Go., Lynn, Maes*

J. Harding, of the G. and J. Tire Company, representing the Chamber of Commerce. Board of Trade, Real Estate Board and other civic bodies. Louisville has offered the company tax exemption for five years and other inducements If it cannot obtain the county property, A. W. Thompson, head of the local branch of the company. told the board. The company proposes to build a $10,000,000 plant if it can obtain the lands, which is across the street from its present plant. Charles A. Bookwalter, president of the board o f park commissioners, also talked for the sale. All matters proposed to the council today will be decided Thursday. Some councilmen opposed the sale on the grounds that the old buildings could be remodeled for a colored orphans home and a detention home for juvenile delinquents. County commissioners favor the sale, saying that the land can be sold for $7,500 an acre and cheaper land bought for the homes. Other things to come up will be an appropriation of $2,000 asked by William P. Evans, county prosecutor, for criminal investigation the rest of the year. Evans states in his letter to the auditor that he intends to appoint Claude M. Worley, sergeant of city police attached to his office, to the job at a salary of S2OO a month.

Os course we know that our medicine does benefit the large majority of women who take it. But that only two out of ICO received no benefit is most astonishing. It only to prove, however, that a medicine specialized for certain definite ailments —not a cure all —one that is made by the most scientific process ; not from drugs, but from a combination of nature’s roots and herbs, can and does do more good than hastily prepared prescriptions. You see, we have been making, improving and refining this medicine for over 50 years until it is so perfect and so well adapted to women’s needs that it actually has the virtue to benefit 98 out of every 100 women who take it. Its reliability and recognized efficiency has gained for it a sale in almost every country in the world —leading all others.
