Dr. Louisa Garrett Anderson Has
Served Prison Term
as Suffragette.
Since September Miss Louisa • Gar-
rett Anderson, an Englishwoman of
note as . a suffragette, has been doing
great things for the wounded, Early.
in the war she and the, British ,Gov-
ernment felt mutally shy of one an-
other, and her first hospital levees
opened under French authority. Her
next hospital ,was at Wienereux,
where she was among her own peo-
ple, and where the rations (most in
contestable of all evidence of recog-
nition) seipplied to her patients were
the official rations ori°tile British sol-
dier.
The mutual shyness having been
dispelled, the War .Office asked Miss
Garrett Anderson to return home and
make a,hospital .in London..- Out of.
her own" resourcefulness, experience,
and initiative she makes her hospital.
It. has five hundred beds;• it is to be,
in working order in record time; it
is to be wholly self -sufficient -that
is • to. say, Miss GarrettAnderson.her-
self is wholly . self-sufficient, How
has she come .by the necessary abil-
ity? Not, certainly, by the fostering
foresight of a paternal Government.
No count was taken before the war
of the possibility of a woman doing
the things she is doing, and even af-
ter the war was well in hand there
was still no effort ,made to secure
the services of the whole group of ex-
traordinary young Englishwomen to
which she belongs. She now holds
authority equal to that of a""'"Major
in the R.A.M.C., and the Press is
eager to give her the salute. She ra-
ther relishes the humor of the situa-
.tion when she tries to persuade ' the
public, against . its will, that she is
not a Major -that no woman can
hold a commission in his Majesty's
Army.
Once in Jail.
She remembers that the only time
before the war when the authorities -
showed any special interest in get-
ting and keeping hold of her was
when a magistrate, not without com-
ments, sentenced her to , six weeks'
imprisonment. For forty years her
eneetier and her aunt had
with 'allo
worked
propriety, for the.cause of
Women's Rights. After that space of
time, the ridicule of Parliament and
the booings; of medical students -of
students beaten on their own ground
—palled on the younger generation,
and a window was broken. Some
good, as it happened, came of the in-
cident—and the sentence. Miss Gar-
- rett Anderson's articles .on the condi-
tions and managefrient of 'women .in
prison make, with Lady Constance
Lytton's papers on the same subject,
an invaluable basis for reform.
The family record is an extraor-
dinary one. Her mother, Dr. Eliza-
beth Garrett Anderson, was one of
the first women doctors. She 'be-
gan her medical studies in 1860; and
though the College of Surgeons and
the College of Physicians refused to
admit her to their examinations, she
obtained a license to- practise from'
the Society of Apothecaries in 1865.
Paris had fewer prejudices than Lon-
don and, passing the medicaI examin-
ations of its University, she receiv-
ed her M.D. degree. Later on, when
England realized that she was not
to be denied, honors were not lack-
ing, andher daughter's degree is, a
London one.
An Unusual Family.
After a long career. in London,.. Dr.
Elizabeth Garrett Anderson retired
to her native town of Aldeburgh, and
was elected Mayor. To Mrs. Fawcett,
another of . the, remarkable Garrett
sisters, belongs the enterprise of hay -
big married a man who had never
seen' her and never and never could
see her. Mr. Fawcett -had been
blinded by a gun accident. During
his political career his wife played,a
prominent part.. Few women, indeed,
have been more closely associated
with practical politics, for hers were,
in a sense, the eyes of the blind Post-
master -General; and, as a fellow-
seer in the larger sense, she wrote,
in conjunction with him, various es:
Says and lectures on political •econ-
omy. Her daughter Philippa was
Senior Wrangler of her year—or,
better still, beat the man who, apart
from feminine competition, was the
winner of that high distinction. All
these ladies, including the young
mathematician who astonished Cam-
, bridge, and the young doctor with
'the hospital in Ende11 Street, retain
the name of Garrett.. It is part of
feminine history.
Together with the 12th Lancers,.
the Scots Greys were the first regi.

BABY'S GREAT DANGER
DURING HOT. WEA.TRER
More little ones die during the hot
weather than at any other time of the
year. Diarrhoea.,, dysentry, cholera
infantuni and stomach troubles come
without warning, and when a medi-
cine is not at hand to, give promptly.
the short delay too frequently means
that the child has passed beyond aid.
Baby's Own Tablets should always be
kept in homes where there are young
children. An occasional dose of the
Tablets 'Will p'event 'stornach and
bowel troubles, or if the trouble comes
suddenly t1i prompt use of the Tab-

aresold by medicine dealers or by

OYSTERS AND TYPHOID.
They Are Generally Free From Sew-
age Contamination.
:e
The Journal of the American Medi-
cal Association has espoused the
cause of the oyster and is disposed.
to defend that bivale from the charge
that much of the winter typhoid in
certain districts comes from the pol-
lution of oysters and clams by sewage.
It is noted that reports of cases of
typhoid arising in this manner have
led many persons to banish the oyster
from their tables. • The Journal urges
a more systematic attempt to settle
definitely the question whether, as a
matter of fact, oysters and clams, in
their proper seasons, are typhoid
germ carriers.
.The Journal does not go so far as to
declare that oysters grown in .loca-
tions which subject them' to sewage
pollutionare immune from infection,
as has sometimes been asserted. But
it states, as a fact not generally
known, that oysters during the cold
weather hibernate, or rest; that feed-
ing does not occur, and that the oys-
ters becomepractically free from sew
age organisms, even when: lying on
sewage polluted beds. The contention
appears to be fairly sustained by a
series of observations made during
last winter at a prominent Atlantic
coast oyster market, which proved
that the oysters were in general free
from • sewage contamination. The
samples which were condemned, it is
said, were procured during quite
warm weather.
While this dictum, if accepted,
would be to a degree reassuring, it
would be more, satisfactory toknow
that government regulations of the
growing and sale of:oysters made the
sale of sewage polluted bivalves, im-
possible.

DAINTY FOOD
Turns Pale Cheeks to Pink.
Our best physicians, of the present
day seek to cure patients by the use
of food and right living, rather than
heavy drugs, and thisis thetrue
method, for only from food can the
body be rebuilt. .
Many people, after living on poorly
selected or badly cooked food for a
long time, and when their ailments be:
come chronic, expect the doctor, with
some magic potency, to instantly re-
build them.
This is not possible. The only true
method is to run as 'quickly as can be,
from poor food to. good: A young' lady
says:
"I was variously treated for my
nerves, steinach, lungs, etc., but none
of the treatments gave me relief.
"About a year ago when my appe-
tite failed completely and I began to
have sinking spells similar to faint-
ing, I took all manner of tonic and
stimulants, but they were of no. ef-
fect. I had been brought to quit
drinking coffee . and taking Postum in
its place and gradually began to get.
a little better,
"Someone suggested that if I found
Postum so beneficial I had better use
•Crape -Nuts food, as they were both
the children of one brain. I com-
menced on Grape -Nuts food for
breakfast,. having Postum with it. I
found the food so dainty, delieious,
and appetizing that I always looked
forward to breakfast with pleasure.
"Shortly after commencing this
diet, the wretched pain in my side was
greatly relieved,and, now, , a.: year
later,it has gone entirely, also the
sinking spells; in fact, my pale cheeks
have changed to pink, I. have gained
back more than the twenty ,pounds .I
lost, and am thoroughly well in every

First Krupp' Was Blacksmith.
From a little blacksmith's shop :at
Essen in 1812, the'mighty =firm of
IKrupps,' the home of German, . guns,
has grown:into the largest • armament
factory in the world. Friedrich Krupp
originated the smithy, and for four-
teen years struggled against poverty.
He died a poor roan, and. on his death-
bed confided the secrets he had dis-
covered during his lifetime to his.son
Alfred. It was more than twenty
years before Alfred Krupp gained re-
cognition, but after obtaining fame
through exhibiting a' forty-five ton
cast. ingot of Krupp steel at`the Crys-
tal Palace_ Exhibition in 1851, he
never looked back. When he died, in
1887; 60,000 people followed him to
the grave: To -day ICrupps' works
cover 1,000 acres of ground. Even be-
fore the war -rush commenced the
firm were employing 60,,000 men at
their main works at Essen and thous-
ands of others, in their' collieries, ship-
building yards, and private testing
grounds. It is estimated that over
300,000. people depend on Krupps for
their livelihood.
At the Krupps' works 40,000 can-
non are turned' out every year.
Work at Krupps' is conducted in
great secrecy. ` _ Each worker is. for-
bidden to enter `any office or workshop
not connected with his own depart -
meet. He has a passport for his
special job, and he must not take
any interest in any other. Kriipps''

Highland Piper Plays His Last Tune.
.
No musician is more devoted to the
instrument on which he plays than
the highland piper. A tbuching
story of a piper's last moments • on
the battlefield is told. by Private L.
L. Spalding, of the 90th Winnipeg
Rifles. (the "Little Black Devils"),
who was one of the Canadian soldiers
gassed at Ypres. While up: in the
firing line a piper of the 79th high -
lenders (Canadian.Scottish) was mor-
tally wounded in the chest, he says.—
The man sat down on a bank, hugging
his beloved pipes, and refused to be
carriedeaway. "-I want to -stay here
and ---and play a last tune," he gasped.
But a little pathetic wheezing noise'
was all the music he could get from
his pipes. A few minutes later he.
fell back dead.

Had to Smile.
Brown had just returned from a
short, but delightful, trip to the Con-
tinent. Barely had he sat foot again
on the shore of Britain when, as is
usual, he had to submit his baggage
to the Customs officials for inspec-
tion. The latter, although Brown
assured them that he had nothing to
declare, seemed bent on making a
thorough inspection. "But there's
nothing in that trunk except wearing
apparel," insisted . Brown. Unper-
tubed and unconvinced the official pro-
ceeded with his task; pulling out gar-
ment after garment, until finally he
disclosed a dozen 'bottles of wine. The
official looked at Brown, then at the
botties, and then again' at Brown.
"And what kind of wearing apparel
d'you call this?" he asked. "Night-
caps!" retorted Brown, and even the
grim official had to smile.

SUMER SKIN TROUBLES.
Sunburn, blistering, and irritation
are the commonest form of sum-
mer skin troubles; and ZamBuk ends
these very quickly. It" works in two
ways. As soon as applied, its anti-
septic powers get to work and kill all
the poison in a wound, a sting or a
sore. This' generally ends the smart-
ing and the, pain. Then Zam-Buk be-
gins the healing process, and fres
healthy tissue is built up. For sore,
blistered feet, sore hands, heat rashes,
baby's heat spots, sore places due to
perspiration, etc., you can't equal Zam-
Buk. •It also . cures cuts, ulcers,,
abscesses, piles, and all inflamed and
diseased conditions of skin and sub-
jacent tissue. Druggists and stores
everywhere sell Zam-Buk, 50c. box.
