that would give just ground for com
plaint.”

Plans For Government of
Canal Zone Submitted to the
President By Sec’y of War.
Washington.—Secretary Garrison
submitted today to President Wilson
his plan for the permanent govern
ment of the Panama Canal Zone.
While the secretary would not dis
close its features it is understood it
contemplates making Col. George W.
Goethais, the first governor of the
sone with plenary powers and would
create from the retiring members of
the canal commission a new commis
sion to take charge of the ceremonies
preparing for the canal’s opening in
January, 1915.
The impression in official circles is
that President Wilson is in accord
with Secretary Garrison.
An executive order abolishing the
Isthmian Canal Commission, under
stood to be In preparation by the
president in accordance with the pro
visions of the Adamson act. Unless
Col. Wm. C. Gorgas is made surgeon
general of the army or is chosen for
some other Important work, he will
be continued with other members of
the new commission, whose salaries
are to remain the same but who will
serve only until the canal is opened.

Picture, Commits Suicide.
Alleged She Had Two Living
Husbands. ,
Danville, Ills.—Mrs. Clara B. Gillis
died here today after taking poison
with suicidal intent when confronted
yesterday with the allegation that she
had two husbands living. The police
assert that although Mrs. Gillis is only
29 years Old, she has had five hus
bands, three of Whom she divorced.
The woman refused to make any state
ment before she died.
Mrs. Gillis was shown a photograph

paper, stated that he had married
“Miss” Gillis in St. Paul on Dec. 20

name. He enclosed the photograph
which was identified by Mrs. Gillis'
husband. Mrs. Gillis denied that she
had married Minges when confronted
by the police yesterday and then swal
lowed the poison.
| THE BIJOU j
“THE GIRL AND THE DOCTOR."
James McCabe’s funny face is
enough of itself to drive one into fits of
laughter. This doesn't mean that Mr.
McCabe's face is funny to look at or
dinarily, but when he makes up and
gets that broad grin on it, he certain
ly knows the value of facial expres
sion in musical comedy. In "The Girl
and the Doctor,” which is at the Bi
jou, he frolics through the piece with
a spirit of broad humor which keeps
the audience happy throughout. As
a comedian hi 3 equal Is rarely seen In
tabloid.
"The Girl and the Doctor" has mu
sic, comedy, pretty girls—especially
pretty girls—and adequate scenic set
tings. It is constructed for laughing
purposes, and it fills the bill as a
clever, up-to-date musical comedy,
such as has given the Bijou its en
viable popularity. The costuming is
worthy of especial mention.
Of the song hits, probably the most
popular last evening were “The Co
quettish Maid” and “Don’t Dove Any
One Else But Me,” but the song hits
are many and of the kind that start
whistling,

Quickly Yielded To Lydia E.
Pinkham’s Vegetable
Compound.
Baltimore, Md. “I am more than
glad to tell what Lydia E. Pinkham’s
LL..I.U..M Vegetable Com-
B pound did for me.
1 suffered dreadful
pains and was very
irregular. I became
alarmed and sent for
Lydia E. Pinkham’s
Vegetable Com
pound. I took it reg
ularly until I was
without a cramp or
pain and felt like
another person, and
it has now been six months since I took
any medicine at all. I hope my littlo
note will assist you in helping other wo
men. I now feel perfectly well and in
the best of health.” Mrs. August
W. Kondner, 1632 Hollins Street, Bal
timore, Md.

herbs, contains no narcotic or harmful
drugs, and to-day holds the record of

ulceration, tumors, irregularities, etc.

The Perfect Baby
Of The Future
A Simple Method That Has a Wonderful
Influence upon The Future Infant.
Too much cannot lie said for a wonderful
remedy, familiar to many women as Moth-
er’s Friend.
It is more eloquent
in its action than all
the health rules ever
laid down for the
guidance of expectant
mothers. It is an
external application
that spreads its influ
ence upon all the
cords, muscles, liga
ments and tendons that nature calls into
play; they expand without pain, without
strain.
Mother’s Friend must, therefore, be con
sidered as a direct influence upon the char
acter and disposition of the future genera
tion. It is a conceded fact that, with nau
sea, pain, nervousness and dread banished,
there is stored up such an abundance of
healthy energy as to bring into being the
highest ideals of those who fondly theorize
on the rules that insure the coming of the
perfect baby.
Mother’s Friend can be had of any drug
gist at SI.OO a bottle. It is prepared by
Bradfield Regulator Co., 230 Lamar Bldg.,
Atlanta, Ga. Write them for an instruct
ive book to expectant mothers.
