Women at National Capital Claim First Place in Realm of Fashion Jeannette Rankin, Congresswoman, Radical, Gives Views on Capital and Labor ANSWERS TO QUESTIONS ON HEALTH BY WILLIAM BRADY, M.D. Distinction Worn by Society Visiting Seashore Find Modish Sweaters.

'a ififlfil Cling to Horse While Crossing Stream. Woman, 26 years old, nervous temperament, has suffered for some time from what was supposed to be cystitis. Did not respond to treatment. Recent examination showed pus being discharged from right kidney. Left normal.

General health fair. At present under the care of home physician. Treatment not satisfactory. What spe-cialist would you advise. Answer If the home physician was good enough to detect the origin of the pus, he ought to be good enough to manage the treatment and the selection of any specialist that may be needed.

Advise you to stick to your horse until you have crossed thai stream. It would be unwarranted ln- terference for me to suggest a special 1st under the circumstances. Blush and Be Happy. I think I would be the happiest girt in the world if I could overcome mjr one great fault of blushing. I have) tried so many things, but it seems impossible.

I blush for no reason at all and am in misery while at work or la company. T. D. Answer A charming trait, a con summate art, which many a woman would dearly prize. Blushing is mom ft ram kin TT The Nuss Speaks Her Piece.

My baby is two months old and I want to go In swimming, but a nurse tells me that blood poisoning is likely to follow any such foolish adventure. I have always been a good swimmer and I hate to let the season pass without enjoying the water. Would It be dangerous to take the chance? Mrs. C. M.

E. Answer The nurse belongs to the old school, They used to consider a bath a dangerous thing for I don't remember how long after confinement. Go in swimming and keep well. Blood poisoning comes from uncleanllness, not from bathing. The Bcnzoatcd Margarine.

Would one-tenth of 1 per cent ben-roate of soda in oleomargarine render the fodd harmful in any way? W. O. H. Answer Well, let's see. That would be about half a grain in an ounce.

Or, say, about 8 grains in a pound. Personally, I'd spread the margarine on. almost as thick as the brown sugar and worry not at all about the benzoate. Blood and Food. Kindly answer tho following In your Sunday department: 1.

What can I do to get more blood? 2. Why do some physicians object to injeoting iron hypodermically for anemia, in case the stomach is too weak to stand iron pills? S. Is there a remedy for rheumatic pains in arms and legs? 4. How much sleep does a child of 10 need? 5. Can a child grow strong on milk, bread and fruit? T.

W. Answer 1. Eat more whole wheat. green garden truck, raw cabbage, lettuce, carrots, seafood. Expose your body for short periods to direct sunlight to the limit of the law.

2. Because iron in any known medicinal form is only rarely of any value in anemia. I believe that anemia is never cured, and but rarely even helped by taking Iron In any form or in, any manner. Anemia is secondary to some underlying condition, such as the poisoning of tuberculosis, syphilis, a focus of infection, kidney disease, or insufficient exposure to weather and sun, or foul air, or constant or frequent small hemorrhages perhaps undetected by the victim (as in Internal piles). Besides, hypodermic injection of iron is rather a painful process.

3. There are various remedies for the pains grossly Included under the meaningless title "rheumatism." The depends upon the nature -of the patient's trouble. 4. At least ten hours, and more if the child desires It, E. Tes, provided the milk is fresh and raw, the bread whole wheat, and the fruit varied.

At least three times a week there should be some fresh meat or meat broth added. Specialist Discovers Novel Aliment. Last month I consulted the eminent stomach specialist. He pro nounced my case rheumatlo Indiges tion. His medicine does not seem to reach the trouble.

Would appreciate any advice you may offer Mrs. P. O. A. Answer That is certainly an orig inal contribution to pathology.

You had the specialist guessing, all right. And he is a keen guesser plays it both ways. If I consulted a doctor and he told me that I should have another look at his shingle to make sure I had not blundered into the clairvoyant's parlors next door. The only advice I can offer is that you break off the specialist habit and employ a physician. Complete Charter of Bread and Milk Club.

Kindly give me complete instruc tions for membership in your famous Bread and Milk Club. I have heard so many people telling of the great benefits obtained by membership therein that I am anxious to join, and I want to get in right. Miss R. C. Answer A fellow feels almost ashamed to keep running that B.

and M. Club so much. Send me a stamped, addressed envelope and I'll mall you the information. Miss Ida Craft, a well-known Brook-lynite and prominent in Suffrage circles for twenty-five years, has just returned from Washington. Miss Craft, who has been at the capital since Congress opened on April 2, spent the greater part of her time in charge of Jeannette Rankin's clipping bureau, for the Congresswoman and "Colonel" Craft, as she is known in this borough, have been friends for several years.

"Ten years ago I was sitting in the Martha Washington Suffrage Headquarters in Manhattan when a slim, alert-looking young woman came in and asked me for some literature. That was the first time I saw Rankin, and that in turn was her first introduction to suffrage," said Miss Ida Craft. "I met her many times after that. She often came and visited me, and th'en I was with her a month during the Montana campaign of Votes for Women. And now I have Just come back from Washington, where I spent a great part of my time taking charge of Miss Rankin's clipping bureau." And that is why The Eagle reporter was anxious to get Miss Craft's impressions of the first congresswoman in the country.

Having known her for some years before her advent in Washington and now coming in dally contact with her for the past few months, Miss Craft's statements about Miss Rankin were most interesting. Of course, she chose her own weapons for giving a clear picture of the Congresswoman and defining her stand on Important questions, news. paper clippings of Miss Rankin's re cent addresses in Western cities. "They will interpret better than I can her attitude in regard to national problems," explained Miss Craft. "People are still harping on the fact that she voted against war, and yet when in Baltimore shortly afterward she explained very carefully when she was asked for' the reason.

"I will quote the answer she gave, which was republished In the International Suffrage News; "It seems to me that women's particular part in the world's work Is the conservation of humanity. That U. our goal. And I felt as the first woman In our national legislature that 1 should strive toward that "The trouble is that most people do not understand Jeannette Rankin." maintained Miss Craft. "To me she is humanity's spokeswoman.

No one In Congress that I know of from Montana has ever espoused the cause of the working man and work ing woman in general before. "As to the statement that she is up holding the cause of the I. W. listen to this," and the head of Miss Rankin's clipping bureau held out an article that had been published In thb Butte Miner when Miss Rankin spoke in Butte before a vast audience on August 16. And Miss Craft read the following passages: "The development of Montana has been accomplished by the combined effort of capital and labor both were necessary." "And we cannot belittle what has been accomplished." 'It is not, however, until the big util ities are taken from us by strikes and lockouts that we fully realize what they mean." This great war might have ended without our being conscious of the great part copper played in it, had we not been suddenly confronted with a shortage in the production of copper." "Carried along on the waves of misguided patriotism have come subtle attempts to destroy the industrial standards in this country." "Standards which have been wrought with so much toil and strife and suffering during tho last half century.

Perhaps the most threatening of these attempts was that made by the Brown Bill, which proposed to abrogate the labor laws for the protection of women and children and suspend compulsory education laws. 'It is also a misguided patriotism that believes direct action has a place in civilized society. I have no patience with that spirit that seeks to destroy property to satisfy personal grievances or with the thought that direct action can right existing "And yet they say that she sides with the Industrial Workers of the World," said Miss Craft, interrupting herself for a moment, and then continued reading the clipping: 'The man who destroys a grain field is taking bread from a hungry child. The burden of waste always rests heaviest on those least able to stand the strain. 'Nor have I any patience with that spirit which seeks to destroy the truth by printing false and misleading statements.

Those character assassins who would poison the minds of their fellow men with falsehoods are most aggravated traitors. I can make no distinction between one who does this from vicious motives and the one who docs it for remuneration. 'I have no patience with the alleged utterances of Frank Little, but I have the greatest contempt for that form of direct action that permitted the foul and cowardly murder of Frank Little. It makes no difference to me who Frank Little was, I believe no one is safe where lynching is sanctioned." Alluding to the Congresswoman's stand on capital and labor, Miss Craft sldered the heieht of bad taste. And i undoubtedly there will be some suit able device, like a black Band on the sleeve or something of the sort which will set apart as significantly as yards of crepe veil, the individual to whom bereavement hag come." Dinner Gowns of Unusual Matrons, While Those Occasion to Don Washington, D.

September 8, 1317. According to Major General John J. Pershing, Commander-in-Chief of the American forces In France, "the conditions under which our troops are serving in Europe are such as tq require the most scrupulous observance of uniform regulations." General Pershing has issued an order to the American Army in France covering every detail of dress with definite and explicit instruction in manners, which is considered so important that it has been cabled to the United States, to receive careful consideration In every training camp and cantonment. This official order not only establishes the fact that "dress does make a difference," but that "neatness, smartness and attention to personal appearance invariably accompany discipline and efficiency." This same regard for fitness holds good outside the Army and in every walk of life, as everyone who has spent a vacation in any of America's resorts must have learned this summer, where vagaries of feminine attire are generally admitted to have reached their worst. The National Capital, which claims first place in correct dressing for its maids and matrons, as well as its soldiers in uniform, is separated by only a six hours railroad Journey from that national playground, Atlantic 'City, where a Pershing or some other authority has been badly needed in the past few weeks.

Atlantic City, It may be rmarked, is not "an Atlantic port," for thirty miles of sandbar separates its famous boardwalk, its palatial hotels and its assorted visitors from the deep sea and possible submarine attack. But this column has nothing to do with submarines. They are rarely mentioned here, where for a few weeks of the early autumn are con gregated men and women from every part of the country, but especially from Washington, who seek a short relaxation from the anxieties of the times, either civic or military. The Vogue of the Sweater. September promises to be a season all its own at this particular resort, with the bathing suit no longer to be regarded as a correct costume anywhere but in the water.

Women of wealth and fashion from every city in the Union seem to be making common cause in dress, if one may judge by the uniform simplicity of the smart, well-hung skirts, silk, serge or satin, topped by silk or wool sweater and fall hats, which one sees in the daily chair parade on the boardwalk and at all the large hotels. There are, of course, "sweaters and sweaters." The English call them golf jackets, but in this particular we have persistently refused to follow the example of our correct-speaking Ally. A group of smart womea at one hotel, each wearing a plain but modish skirt with superlatively smart sweater, Included Mrs. Onward Bates and Mrs. M.

H. Spades of Chicago, Mrs. Edward H. Gheen of Washington and Mrs. Harlan Scott of Wilmington.

Mrs. Gheen, whose husband is a rear admiral, has her coat of a myrtle green and long enough to give a very stylish line to the figure. The hat topping this is distinctly "en cous-tume," a round shape of white braid with a panache of white plumage having a large plaque of coque feathers at its base. Mrs. Scott wears a skirt of blue and white stripes in one of the heavy silk weaves with white coat and hat, and Mrs.

Bates is usually in all white, from hat to her smart low-heeled shoes. Mrs. Gibson In Ultra Smart Gown. One of the ultra smart dinner gowns for club or summer hotel is worn by Mrs. Preston Gibson of Washington at the Brighton, where she and her children have passed the greater part No Crepe for Wives of Heroes American Women Urged Not to Put on Mourning for Soldiers Killed in World Conflict.

The wives, the sisters, the sweethearts, the mothers of men who have gone out to fight for the great cause of Democracy have been asked to sink their own personal feelings when comes that dread day when the inevitable lists of the wounded, and the dead, shall bring sorrow to our shores and to put the cause of patriotism first. And patriotism in this instance will mean refraining from exhibiting tho evidence of personal woe in the form of black trappings; that the courage and the high Intentions of others who must go forth to battle, or who must send their loved ones forth to battle, may not be affected by depression of spirit. The Dry Goods Economist, whoso close relationship with the sartorial interests of Paris and London give authority to all its expressions on the matter of dress, was interviewed recently in regard to this new non-wearing of mourning movement. "We cannot win tho war by wearing crepe," declared the Journal. "London realized the importance of this sacrifice of the personal 'luxury of woe' early in the war, and the discarding of mourning apparel throughout the period of war was a principle adopted by Great Britain shortly after that country's entrance into the conflict.

And this principle is in keeping with the spirit which has animated the English people throughout three years of tcrrlblo struggle and anxiety." "But Fiance has worn mourning," it was suggested. "Yes, Franco has and the utter orrow, tho depression of spirit that the black garb of Paris has helped crea.te has had its reacting effect. of the summer. This is all white Georgette crepe over satin With the narrow foundation skirt, square- necked bodice, and half length sleeve. The special feature is the insertion of bands of duchesse lace in the crepe over drapery which gives great ele gance to the toilet without robbing it of its simplicity.

Mrs. Wells lias Novel Frock. Mrs. Henry Wells, formerly of St. Louis but now residing in Washing ton, is one of the visitors to Atlantic City upholding the traditions of good dressing in an afternoon toilet of gray voile combined with chiffon.

showing the new combination of square blocks on a plain foundation, which is taking tlje place of the un lucky polka dot. Mrs. Wells tops this with a smart black hat trimmed in plumage. Mrs. Archibald Davis, one of the younger matrons of the Navy set, who was formerly Miss Daisy Colton of Washington, looks smart as ever wear ing a succession of all white gowns, usually heavy cotton skirts and em broidered lingerie blouses with a very becoming broad-brim hat of brown straw trimmed In rich grosgraln ribbon of the same shade.

A work of art In millinery, as it is most individual. but to the casual observer looks simple. Mrs. Elkins Indulges la Artistio Clothes. Another ultra smart and handsome young matron in elegantly simple attire is Mrs.

Blaine Elkins, who has a cottage in Chelsea. Mrs. Elkins indulges her artistio love of color by wearing blouses of delicate pink or very pale yellow, with white silk skirts and white hat and shoes. For the prominent women remaining in town there is every opportunity of wearing smart gowns, as the dinner parties continue with midwinter regularity, usually to welcome the com ing or speed the departing diplomat or soldier. Mrs.

Mann in Satin Dinner Gown. Mrs. James R. Mann, wife of the Republican leader of the House, has evidently replenished her always adequate wardrobe, as the white satin gown she wore at the last dinner party given by the Japanese Ambassador was on up-to-the-minute lines. This was of ivory tint with plain rather narrow skirt and extremely chic over-drapery of pure white tulle.

The bodice was in the new cuirass effect of crystal and silver sequins, with a shoulder drapery of tulle forming the sleeves. The only touch of color was a cluster of pink roses worn at the waist line. Mrs. Mann carried a large fan of white ostrich mounted on pearl and silver. Mrs.

Roland S. Morris of Philadelphia, who has been in Washington for several notable dinner parties prior to sailing for Japan, where her husband has been appointed as Ambas- sador, wore a beautiful gown of sliver, veiled in midnight blue tulle with the close-fitting bodice of blue and silver brocade. On this same occasion Mrs. Peter Goelet Gerry, wife of the Senator from Rhode Island, wore a gown of white satin with drapery and train of silver lace obviously right from Paris. Mrs.

Breckcnridge Long, wife of the Assistant Secretary of State, who returned to town to assist in entertaining the Japanese Mission, to which her husband is acting as special escort, has one of the smartest of new evening gowns in silver tissue draped in the latest shade of blue tulle, a variation of the Chinese blue of former seasons. Mrs. Richard Crane another young woman of the State Department circle, Is wearing a black tulle frock in the new length, which Just escapes the ground. This has the smart, close bodice and square neck, with short sleeves. MARGARET WADE.

Paris is sad, unutterably sad; England is stout-hearted, optimistic, bravely assured. In London the theaters and the music halls are all open. People go about as though pursuing every day affairs with gladness of heart, or at least intrepid spirit. If there are sad hearts they do not proclaim themselves by banners of crepe. Personal feelings are covered up for tho sake of the feelings of those who must win the war those whose high purpose of endeavor might be affected if ever so little, by a general evidence of sorrow and depression around them.

"Surely," Insists the paper, "no argument is needed to convince the patriotic American that tho wearing of mourning Just now, while it might soothe personal sorrow, would militate against the efforts this country Is making to bring this world struggle to a swift and early close." "But would not the wearing of mourning and the necessary purchasing of new wearables and new fabrics tend to increase business prosperity throughout the country?" was the question. "On the contrary, the refraining from mourning apparel will have a decided economic value. It is a time for the conservation of resources in the home; and in many homes money would be put Into the swathlngs of black and the trappings of crepe that ought to go Into food and fuel. The result would be to increase the shortage of materials, already growing serious, and to raise prices of garments still higher than they are now. The poor follow afar off, but follow, nevertheless, the fashions of the rich.

If the rich will not adopt mourning for the sake of patriotism the poor are likely to follow the lead; and many a poor family will be relieved of the necessity of laying out for mourning a sum sadly needed for the needs of living." "But surely," came the doubtful question, "you would not advise gay colors for the sake of patriotism?" On this point the Economist spoke with authority. "There are no gay colors in street dress now. Paris has seen to that! All the new street shades are dark or neutral. All the effects in dress are quiet and digni fied. Extreme fashl ns are now con- comfortable at times.

I fancy your mother has vuw ceroptosis sagging of digestive organs. Perhaps a snugly fitted abdominal belt would give relief; it should make pressure only over the lower abdomen, none at all over the stomach. The Trendelenberg posture, too, would help: Lying on back on Inclined plans so that shoulders are considerably lower than hips. Such a posture for half an hour or more after eating. The whisky should be stopped at onoe.

Answer No child under the age of 12 should be allowed tea, coffee or cocoa, in my opinion, because these beverages are all stimulants to the nervous system, and while adults may be benefited by the use of such beverages, children are invariably Injured.

A child's nervous system requires no stimulation. It is quite active enough without stimulation. Milk is the child's beverage. Typhoid Bacterin In Civil Practice, Why don't doctors in civil life make use of the typhoid serum, which is universally employed in the Army, to prevent typhoid fever? Answer They do. Only in the Army the recruit is compelled to be Immunized, whereas in civil life it is not compulsory, though certainly adviseW ble, to take the hypodermio doses ofi typhoid bacterin and be immune to typhoid fever.

(It isn't a serum). Any physician will administer the prophylactic if you signify your desire- to have it.

According to estimates of the Council of National Defense, the production in Butte in July was 12,000,000 pounds, while the normal output is nearly 30,000,000 pounds. Through the patriotic efforts of some prominent men, the Government was able to secure copper for 16.67 cents a pound.

When the market price was 32 cents the Government purchased 50,000,000, and then later 60,000,000 pounds again. However, the companies refused to accept the same price and are now waiting for the Committee on War Purchases to say what they will pay. This instance has, in my opinion, received no 'But it is interesting to the American people to know that if the committee sets the price at the present market price of 28 cents, this one purchase will cost the Government $6,000,000 more than the advertised price. Added to this, the copper interests have the advantage of not being on the embargo "And striking the personal note, this Is the promise Miss Rankin gave the miner," pointed out Miss Craft: 'I pledge you my word that I shall always do my utmost to better conditions, but I earnestly appeal to you to strive to bring about a peaceful solution of existing troubles, and always remember that the country is at "I know that she has been criticised for going to Butte to investigate conditions," announced Miss Craft, "but tho explanation that she gave of the trip she took was printed in The Record of Helena, Montana. It was to the effect that since the labor troubles had occurred among her own constituents, it was within her functions as a Congresswoman to determine Just what the difficulty was.

"And that is exactly what sho is a friend of the working people, independent in action, sympathetic, but not emotional," described Miss Craft. "Her father was a Canadian-Scotch, and I suppose she gets her firmness from him; her mother was a New England pioneer. "She is a short, concise speaker and a hard worker. No letter that comes to her goes unanswered. Women who never before thought of Congress know now that they have a friend there.

"A newspaper woman came to her and wanted to write a story about her social side. 'I have no social was Miss Rankin's answer." "She is in her seat when Congress opens and she remains there during the session but you know people are always calling her out to introduce her. "Always well dressed, she Is just as alert as she was the day she first came in to ask for Suffrage literature. The women of this country ought to be proud that they have a woman in Congress who Is so Independent in thought and action," concluded the woman who voluntarily reads all the things printed about Miss Rankin.

There are no Morris Rosenfeld, the noted Yiddish 'sweatshop" poet, whose fiftieth birth day recently was celebrated by Jews throughout the United States, especially tho Jews of the working classes, of which he himself is a product, having toiled for many years at a machine, has written a poem, dedicated to the Jewish war sufferers in Europe, and which has been sent broadcast throughout the country as part of an appeal of the Central Jewish Relief Committee in connection with Rosh ha-Shanah, the Jewish New Year, which occurs early in September. Mr. Rosenfeld is regarded by Jews generally as being the typical poet of their race in America, and his poem, which is entitled "Pity, Israel," has the advantage of the fact that he knows the conditions affecting the jews on both sides of the Atlantic, having been born in Russian Poland, where he received his early education and from where he emigrated to America in 1882.

The poem is as follows: PITT, ISRAEL. Ulna eyes are dimmed with terrors black and red, And grimly dlaappear The aun and moonlight clear For pity in the Jewtah heart ilea deadl The feeling heart, the grieving heart la dead. Mine eyes are dimmed with terrora black and red.
