Several great organizations have < ;cn formed for improvement of tlie i mdition of women. With the re- i i.sion of the Dutch constitution last 1 ar, women obtained full suffrage < rid the result, is that now there are ' .ir.?nr? ir? ti/xirl v nvorf f,r>iun nntlTlcil. Realizing, however, that the pos- ]i &t&iQn of the voto alone doos not dc> ; ido the* lot of women, the promoters ; f the movement are now-seeking to J ring about; changes in the laws and ; ovulations which discriminate the ' ox. economically and' socially* "According to the Dutch law*" said ' Irs. Wijnandts Francken, one of the caders of tho women's movement, the father has practically 'all the lay' about the education of the chilIron. Ho decides as to their future, '.onsents to their marriage and may -:end them wherever he likes. Of course, this is of no importance what ever in a good marriage, where fathei and mother together debate abou' such things, but this power of tht father may easily be abused. I know of several cases in which the father deliberately took a child away and hid it from its mother, without the latter being able to do anything against this course as the law was on the side of the father. "Another thorn in the flesh of the Dutch woman is that she must promise obedience to her husband in the vow of marriage. Now, please don't think that these women arc averse to rule p*hI order. They only want to be the equals of their husbands, not their housekeepers. "As things are now, a Dutch woman has to suffer almost anything from a tyrannical husband and noth? -ill mg snon. 01 auuiwci ^ wi u?uny ... usage can rid her of his despotism. "One of the greatest obstacles these women leaders have to overcome is the conservatism of the oldfashioned women, who, especially in the rural didstricts form a great part of the population. But the women who are fighting for the betterment >f their sex hope in the end to sue cecd in conquering this prejudice." TO HOBBY HBBALP, O COPY SUMMONS FOR RELIEF. (Complaint Not Served.'

The first reason for having good milk cows on the farm comes from the fact that they provide the cheapest, best and most wholesome food for the family. Their value is hard to estimate when. we consider the amount saved on the bills. Their produce is a superior substitute for many foods necessarily purchased at high prices. In fact, there is no economic way of doing without plenty of gcoc milk cows on the farm. ?

IMP DODSON WOULD STOP SALEOF CALOMEL Says Calomel is Mercury and Acts Like Dynamite on Your Liver. Dodson is making a hard fight against calomci In the South. Every druggist has noticed a great falling off in the sale of calomel. They all give the same reason, Dodson's Liver Tone is taking its place. '? "Calomel is dangerous and people know it, while Dodson's Liver Ton^ is perfectly safe and gives better results," said a prominent local diuggist. Dodson's Liver Tone is person ally guaranteed by every druggist. A large bottle costs but a few cents, and if it fails to give easy relief in every case of liver sluggishness and constipation, you have only to ask | for your money back. | DnrlcAm'a T - 1 i ^vv.?vi? o unci tune is a pieasant , tasting, purely vegetable remedy, j harmless to both children and adults. Take a spoonful at night and wake up feeling fine; no biliousness, sick headache, acid stomach or constipated bowels. It doesn't gripe 01* cause inconvenience all the next day like violent calomel.

New York.?Murders and roberrles committed in LeMans by gangs of American and French soldiers using women as decoys were described by Maj. George Armstrong, a Detroit efficiency engineer, who served as assistant provost marshal in the American ti\:op area. Major Armstrong was called? by the < defense as a witness at the- ?ourt> martial on Governor's Island of Gapt. I Karl W. Detzer of the Three Hundred and Eighth military police company, who is charged with cruelty to prisoners while directing criminal' Invest ligation work; in LeMans. Lieut. Thomas HeiFernarr, defense counsel, is attempting to show that these charges , were brought by a "ling'* out to "get'' Detzer, ami he has attacked the credibility ? / virtually every government witness. Majoi Armstrong testified that he held a direct charge of 2;200? military police in LeMans from August,. 1918, until January, 1919, and' that during this period' 1,500,000* Americans passed through the area;. A large lawless element was at work, he said, and white be was in LeMans 25 murders were committed and chateaux, robbed ot' thousands of 1 dollars* ' worth of. furnishings. The ; thugs, he said,, were known at* the ! "River Gang," "Chateau Gang*'* "Jewelry- Gang,"' ami other designations. One Blench count atone,, he said, lost $35,000 through the operations of the "Chateau Gang." The "River Gang," he testified, made a practice of using women to lure victims to robbery. All the thugs, he said, were arrested by the military police ami now are serving sentences of two to 15 years. Notwithstanding the character of the men with whom they had to deal, he said, all military police in the area were ordered not to strike prisoners except in self defense. Capt. Arthur J. Laurin of Brookline, Mass., a member of the military police service assigned as a special in 1 vestigator to watch out for welfare 1 of prisoners in the guard house at the classification camp at LcMans, also ' took the stand. 1 Ho testified that one of the wit' nosses for uiO prosecution had once I been brought before him charged with murdering a Frenchman who before he died whispered that he had been assaulted by an American sol*, dier. Laurin stated that the government witness in question had escaped from i the guard house that day, that he had f been arrested while intoxicated and 1, with his clothes stained with blood, and that he had admitted having had a row with a Frenchman. Laurin l . added, however, that as there were no d I witnesses to the assault, the charge against him was dropped. .> .1 b Diamond / HYMAN SUPPI JOBI WILMING1 it .you want ss. pleasant surpris Keep ev close .?? watch on "V/Or T W C .I****1 ^tV' , Disvmond /o-c nnlecv; o. -T-'irr vYv.cv^rx /'k > dx ':v* , r 5 ^ i f ;\<r- \\ {i ( ; v.j fib a" ^ar==5ii AA I ~"" Diamond Fabric Tires.. ..
