SUFFRAGISTS SPOIL WORK OF RECRUITING BRITISH SOLDIERS Sylvia Pankhurst Holds

Meetings in Opposition to Recruiting Gathering in Hyde Park. LONDON. July 15. Any one who at tends the Sunday afternoon recruiting meetings In Hyde Park must come away with the idea that England Is a kind and tolerant nation to her people. On a recent Sunday these meet ings had to be staged with tne opposition not only of a number of religious outdoor orators, but of the suffragists as well. Miss Sylvia Pankhurst was the leader of the latter. The suffragist meeting was held Just across a short stretch of the common from a stand on which wounded soldiers from the front, together with women and statesmen, were pleading for recruits. And while the group led by Miss Pankhurst did not actually tell the men not to answer the call to the flag, they advanced arguments in which it was quite easy for any man to find an excuse for not donning a uniform. Heckle Miss Pankhurst. Abuse of the present political systems of all the warring nations led up to the statement that "we are waging a war against war" and "it is not and should not be the province of a king or an emperor to plunge his country into war and then call upon the flower of the nations' manhood to go and be butchered in the name of patriotism." There were many in her audience who did not agree with Miss Pankhurst and she was frequently interrupted with catcalls and hisses, but when she led up to the demand for votes for women and predicted that the gift of the franchise ot her sex would stop all war at once she was loudly cheered. During the half hour following her set speech the suffragist leader was so beset in her effort to answer questions that a riot seemed imminent. And the soldiers did most of the heckling. They wanted to know what they were going to do for jobs when they got back if women were given their places, and they presented an entirely new argument against the granting of equal suffrage. Say Women Would Rule. It was this: That now most of the able-bodied men are going to the front and being killed, so that if the vote is granted here in this nation which already has a preponderance of women the women will rule absolutely throng their numerical strength and the men who have risked their lives for the salvation of the nation will have no hand in governing the land they have saved. Miss Pankhurst was of the opinion on this point that the men might very safely trust to the good judgement of the women even if the latter did assume power. Miss Pankhurst held her audience well until a well-known tenor of the music halls began to sing and her auditors broke away in droves to join in the choruses of his patriotic songs. ANTI-SUFFRAGE CLUB DENIES SALOON CASH Angered by assertion that the liquor interests are backing the antisuffrage campaign, Miss Alice Hill Chittenden has made the announcement that the New York State association opposed to woman suffrage would open its books to an authorized committee of suffragettes. "The time has come to put a stop to these charges," said Miss Chittenden. "The anti-suffrage association has never received one penny from any person or organization directly or indirectly connected with liquor interests. I am willing to make an affidavit to that effect." A suggestion is made by the General Federation of British Trades Unions that women who are being employed as war workers shall be granted, a war trade union ticket.

"A Man and His Wife"

John Misses a Chance to Escort Mrs. Simmons Home After the Party.

By Virginia Terhune Van de Water. "It's been a very nice evening," Adelaide Simmons told her hostess. The widow and Ella Sanger were putting oh their wraps In Isabel's room. "You've been a surprise to me, my dear," she went on. "I had no idea you could dance, or play, that you could serve such a dinner." The tone was patronizing, but Isabel smilingly Ignored it. "None- of those things requires an especial amount of savoir faire and of social poise," 6he remarked. "And you thought I was lacking in both?" Isabel queried, as if amused. At heart she resented this woman's speech and manner, but she would not show that she did. "Oh, my dear, I don't mean that!" Mrs. Simmons hastened to explain. "But you have always seemed so quiet and so fond of quiet things' Then, too, Jack's change In his manner of living since his marriage has made me think you did not care for society." "On the contrary, I like it," Isabel said. "But John has preferred to stay at home lately. Now that the Ice is broken, we shall probably go out more. I have many friends whom I want to entertain. Perhaps," with an apologetic laugh, "I have seemed a bit quiet and retiring because I have the diffidence that most young wives feel at first about entertaining. For," she added, "I am, after all, very young." She looked it as she stood there young and almost defiant her face flushed, her hair slightly roughened from dancing, her eyes bright. While Adelaide Simmons was not a hard-hearted woman, she was a vain and selfish one. Gazing at this pretty creature bo much her junior she was conscious of a sharp pang for her own lost youth, and a sudden resentment at thearrogance of the young. She must say something to let this girl know that there were other things than youth that made for success. She Make an Almost Insulting Observation. "You are coming on famously," she said encouragingly, "and I am glad. Jack has been a pet of mine for so long that it would hurt me if he were married to a girl of whom he could not feel proud, and who did not try to please him. B ythe way," glancing at the pale blue gown that was Isabel's only dinner toilette, "how beautifully that dress cleaned! I suppose you always wear it in the evening because Jack is so fond of it?" A hard glint flashed from Isabel's eyes. "No," she retorted, "I wear it because it is the only handsome evening gown I have!" "It is the prettiest dress I have seen in a long while," broke in Ella Sanger. "You have made us other women look old and faded, my dear as we really are. To see such a lovely home as you have and such a happy pair as you and your husband are, almost makes me regret my spinsterhood." With a sudden impulse of gratitude Isabel took the speaker's band in hers. She had thought of this woman as uninteresting and rather loud, but now she regretted her uncharitable judgment of her. "You are so sweet and kind. Miss Sanger," 6he murmured, "that I am actually sorry for the man who did not succeed in getting you." Her voice broke nervously and there was a soft light in her eyes. "Come, Ella!" Mrs. Simmons spoke sharply. "The taxi is here." "But I am not going in the taxi," her cousin announced. "Thank you just as much. I have accepted Mr. Marsh's kind offer to take me home." "How silly!" commented Adelaide. "You'll have the discomfort of a ride in a trolley instead of in a cab." "It's a beautiful night and I'll not mind," Miss Sanger assured her. She and Marsh had taken their departure before Adelaide Simmons bade adieu to her hosts. "It's been a really delightful evening," she said to Isabel. "Good night, my dear. I shall hope to see you both at my home soon." "You are not going home alone?" John protested. "Oh. I have a taxi here, you know," she said. But he started toward the hat rack PESKY

Doctors declare that bedbugs and other vermin are the most to be feared means of spreading such diseases as consumption, spinal meningitis and other infectious troubles. There is no disgrace in getting bedbugs in your home, because that can't be avoided, but it is a disgrace to permit them to remain and thrive when it is so easy to get rid of them with the new chemical compound, P. D. Q., which actually puts an end to these pesky devils. A Million Bedbugs. A 25-cent package of this golden chemical will make a quart of a mixture that is so deadly to bedbugs that it would kill a million of them If you could get that many together. If they were as big as your hand it would swat them just as well. And not only the live ones, but the future generations as well, because once it hits the eggs they are goners. Cut This Out. Your druggist has P. D. Q. (Pesky Devils' Quietus) and will be glad to furnish it for 25 cents. One 25-cent package makes a quart of the mixture and is equal to a barrel of old-fashioned bugkiller. Some druggists may try to sell you something else. Don't accept a substitute. If your druggist hasn't P. D. Q., send us his name and 25 cents and we will send you a package postage prepaid to your address. Will Not Damage Goods. P. D. Q. will not injure fdelicate fabrics, clothing, carpets, furniture, bedding, wall paper or

"Even so, I can't let you go home alone at this time of night," he insisted. "I will go with you." Perhaps Henry Dennis saw the change that crossed the wife's face, for he interposed quickly. John is Prevented from Acting as Escort, "Pardon me, Hamilton," he said "but I have made my plans to accompany Mrs. Simmons home. You remember promising to let me do so don't you. Addle?" Adelaide Simmons tried to laugh, yet she flushed so hotly that the natural color overflowed the rouge on her cheeks. "I really don't remember," she said, "but if you make the assertion, I suppose it's true. No, Jack, I don't need you. Be a good boy and stay here where you belong with your wife. "Ah," patting Isabel's shoulder playfully, "you see, my dear, that although you may boast to me of how much younger you are than I am, one of the compensations that I have at my age is that I am never lacking for escorts. "And the best part of it is that a woman of my years may accept attention from as many men as she wishes without indiscretion. And the men are not afraid to pay, such attentions. At your age, child, one has not these advantages. But, .cheer up, perhaps the best is still to come for you too!" Isabel did not see the necessity for John's accompanying his guests all the way downstairs to the front door yet she expressed no objection when he did so. And when he returned, and going up to her, put his arm about her and kissed her, she did not draw away. "It was a beautiful party," he said enthusiastically. "I was proud of my little wife, of the dinner, of the service of everything." "Thank you," she added simply. She would not dampen his pleasure by speaking any of the things that were perturbing her mind. For this night she would ignore his failings as he was Ignoring hers. She was glad he had liked the dinner, glad that he was satisfied, glad, most of all, that he had not taken too much liquor this evening. She had been afraid that he might take more than was quite safe. "I too, think that everything went off satisfactorily," she remarked. And now, as I am very tired, I am going to bed, John." Yes her first dinner party had been a success. Yet she was conscious of a heartache which she could not quite banish. To Be Continued.

California is unusual among the salt-producing states in that the great bulk of the salt comes from sea water, being obtained by. solar evaporation on San Francisco bay, near Long beach and near San Diego. SOAP IS BAD FOR THE HAIR Soap should be used very sparingly, if at all, if you want to keep your hair looking its best. Most soaps and prepared shampoos contain too much alkali. This dries the scalp, makes the hair brittle, and ruins it. The best thins for steady use Is just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil (which is pure and greaseless), is cheaper and better than soap or anything else you can use. One or two teaspoonfuls will cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly. Simply moisten the hair with water and rub it in. It makes an abundance of rich, creamy lather, which rinses out easily, removing every particle of dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly, and it leaves the scalp soft, and the hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous, fluffy and easy to manage. You can get mulsified cocoanut oil at any pharmacy, and a few ounces will supply every member of the family for months. woodwork. In fact, it is often used as a deodorizer and disinfectant. Kills Fleas on Dogs. If you have a pet dog who 13 infested with fleas take a little P. D. Q. mixture in your hand and rub it into the fur. Then watch the fleas loop the loop. They will be deader than King Solomon before they hit the floor. Chicken Lice Destroyer. Have your chickens got lice? Don't hesitate. Get a 25-cent package of P. D. Q., make a gallon of lice-destroyer from it as' directed and then get busy in the henhouse. It's so easy you'll laugh and so will the chickens. By the way, did you ever see a chicken laugh? Try this and watch 'em. For Ants and Cockroaches. The ants and cockroaches stand as good a chance of surviving a treatment of P. D. Q. as a snowball in a justly famed Heat Resort. It swats them and their eggs with a wallop that puts their whole generation out of business. Use it on furs in storage to kill and keep out moths. A' Bedbug Spout. Every package of P. D. Q. contains a patent spout that fits any ordinary bottle. It will enable you to reach the hard-to-get-at places and save lots of juice. When buying look for the Devil Heads on every package of P. D. Q., then you'll be sure to get the genuine. Sold by A. G. Luken & Co., and other leading druggists.

The PinckneyB Fathers of the Republic

PERHAPS South Carolina's best gift to this Free Republic was the splendid services of her two great sonsCharles Cotesworth Knckney and Charles Knckney. It can truthfully be said of the Pinckneys that their love of honor was greater than their love of power, and deeper than their love of self. One played an important part in the "Louisiana Purchase" the other, while an envoy to France, was told that the use of money would avert war, and to this replied ; "Millions for defense, but not one cent for tribute? Both devoted their eminent abilities toward framing our National Law. The Constitution of the United Statesas it stands to-day, vas built upon the framework of a plan first proposed by Charles Pinckney. It was he who demanded that it contain freedom of religion, freedom of the press, habeas corpus and trial by jury. In political faith only did these two great men differ. Charles Knckney was an ardent Democrat, and Charles C. Knckney a loyal Federalist, and was twice a candidate for President. It is easy to imagine the horror that these two great lovers of Personal Liberty would have expressed if shown the proposed Prohibition Laws of trday. It is needless to say that if alive they would VOTE NO to such tyrannous encroachments upon the NATURAL RIGHTS OF MAN. The Pinckneys both believed in the moderate use of light wines and barley brews. They also believed in legislation which encouraged the Brewing Industry because thev knew that honest Barley Beer makes for true temperance. For 58 years Anheuser-Busch have been brewers of honest Barley-Malt and Saazer Hop beers the kind the Rnckneys fcnewtobe good for-mankind. To-day their great brand BUDWE1SER because of its quality, purity, mildness and exquisite flavor, exceeds the sale of any other beer by millions of bottlss;75oo people are daily required to keep pace with the public demand for BUDWEISER.

Summertime Is here and there are many little week-end parties and many joyful reunions. Carry with you a .determination - to speak only good of those whom you meet and of whom you talk. You will cement old friendships and make many new friends quite worth the while if you keep firmly to this resolution. Of course, it would make a delicious morsel, and perhaps a mild sensation, if you were to tell some of the things you know and a lot more than you have heard about Bill or Bertha, but when you stop to think it oyer, you will appreciate that a wise forgetfulness of your friend's shortcomings might be good for you as well as for them. Talk about your friends as you'd like them to talk about you. Don't go into a sick-room with a long-drawn face. Have a smile. - Keep smiling. - Talk of cheerful things. Don't speak about the good times being enjoyed by friends of the patient, in which it is impossible for him to participate. Instead, tell of plans which are to be carried out as soon as the ill person recovers. Have some good news from friends and tell the good news In an entertaining way. Refrain from subjects which might excite. Don't stay too long. Frequent short calls are better. Long ones tiro the sick. Above all, smile, and bring with you the contagious medicine of Joy.
