The separation of executive and leg
islative departments under your Consti-
tuition brings about here another point
of difference. In Berlin the representa-
tves OF the government are, as a rule,
so much better prepared for debate than
the opposition that the visitor cannot
fail TO notice the inequality. He feels
that the government is much superior
in its knowledge Of the subjects under
discussion.
"In America it is not so. 1t seemed TO
me that the men who were speaking
against the Government were just as
well primed with facts and figures IS
those who were defending its policy IL
your Cabinet Secretaries came upon the
floor and were allowed 20 speak direct
~ about the work of their departments
the people in the galleries would listen
TO what they said with a great deal OF
attention. and a member who had to get
his information from reports and docu-
ments might find It hard TO make an
impression against him. But as IL is. I
have felt all the time as if were
watching battle between very even
ly matched forces. and it is an impress
sion that one does not get in the Ger
man parliament.
More Members Present
1T surprised me at first to see so
many more members present than
would be at a session OF the reichstag.
but L think this Is accounted for by the
salaries your Congressman receive. II
surprised me also 10 see your sessions
openeS with prayer. If that were done
in Germany. all the Socialists would
walk out Of the room. I noticed. too,
that prominent members OF the House
OF Representatives were much younger
Than in the reichstag. The leaders in
the reichstag are old men

Matters Debated.
LAS for the subject matter Of debate,
there is an equally wide difference.
Much Of the reichstag's time Is given
up TO questions Of social polity. The
details OF the schemes for improving
the conditions of the workingmen are
constantly under discussion, and the re-
suit is that many Of the debates are
interesting only to a specialist

Hon. Berlin Parliament
Differs From Congress
Prussian Lawyer Compares Legislative Bod
les of Two Governments and Comments
Upon Some Special Features of Each.

DR.. Paul c. Herr. a Prussian Judge,
who is studying the reformatory sys-
TEN of this country in the interests OF
Berlin University. has spent a good
deal of time while in Washington at
the Capitol. and draws some interesting
comparisons between Congress and the
German parliament
The feature of our debatess which
most impressed him was that the me-
jority of Senators and Representatives
discussed public questions after TIE
manner of lawyers rather than that Of
men whose personal interests were
deeply involved in the measures under
consideration.
"A debate in the reichstag.' he says,
is like a law case in which the par
ties themselves come into court and
make their own pleas. Feeling very
deeply and being personally concerned,
they are more likely to grow heated in
the debate, have less respect for one
another's motives. and are not so anx-
ious to avoid personalities.
Debate of Advocates.
Here In Washington the impression
which an outsider gets is that advocates
are speaking. ! know. for / have been
told that that there are farmers. busI-
ness men. and manufacturers among
your legislators, but al talk like law
yers.
I'm the reichstag the parties them
selves are in court The workingmen of
the Socialist party reveal their social
status in their dress and manner, as do
the farmers of the Agrarian party.
while among the membership there are
also many Catholic priests, who come
upon the floor in their clerical garb.
The man who feels himself oppressed
stands face to face with the man who
supposedly Expresses him.
Under those conditions there Is sure
to be more OF The fanatic in the speeches.
Here in Congress, 50 far as different
interests are arrayed against each
other. they are all represented by men
of the same general appearance, even
10 the long frock coats which most of
them wear.
On Matters of Detail.
Another impression which could not
help receiving was that Congress was
spending its time on matters Of mere de-
tail. have been listening to discus
sion OF the tariff here. Democrats and
Republicans have both made able
speeches. and have attacked each other
warmly. But they both want a tariff,
and the only question is how high a
one. Now, the Socialists I'm Germany in
a similar debate would be lighting for
the entire abolition Of the tariff
Naturally. when the speakers differ
on such fundamentals as that. there IS
much more reason for bitter fighting. It
changes the whole atmosphere OF de-
bate when you have an element like
that led by Herr Bebel. who is oppOs-
ing not only the policies Of the govern
ment. but the very institutions and life
Of the state 1t Is that which makes a
duel between Babel and Won Buelow

UNABLE TO SLEEP AT NIGHT.
Sidney, Ohio, August 20, 1908.
A few months ago I was feeling weak
and run down and unable to get sleep ct
night I felt extremely bad, and also
had rheumatic pains in my joints and
muscles. The medicine used gave me
only temporary relief at best so seeing
8. 8. s. highly recommended for such
troubles, began its use. and after TAX

with the result. 1t did away with the
rheumatic pains. gave me refreshing

good medicine without a doubt, and I
take pleasure n endorsing il.

Proper Treatment Of Pneumonia.

Pneumonia is too dangerous a dis
ease for anyone to attempt to doctor
himself, although h emay have the
proper remedies at hand. A physician
should always be called. 1t should be
borne in mind, however, that pneu-
monia always results from an attack
Of the grip, and that by giving Cham
berlain's Cough Remedy the threat
ened attack of pneumonia may be
warded off. This remedy is also used
by physicians in the treatment of
pneumonia with the best results. DR.:
w. J. Smith, of Sanders, Ala, who is
also a druggist, says of it: Il have
been selling Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy and prescribing it in my prac-

The Vital Question
Most Names by which Diseases Are
Known Are Merely TechnicaITerms
to Distinguish Slight differences.

Chronic maladies are due to two
conditions. First, to poor blood and
disordered circulation; second, to
lack Of nervous force and unequal dis
tribution Of it. In other words. we
may look to the blood and nerves for
most of the lingering ills that weaken,
plague or wreck human kind, This
explains why DR.. Chase's Blood and
Nerve Food cures so many diseases
that bear distinctive names. 1t puts
the blood and nerves right, and
through them the whole system
comes right. This concentrated Food
Is a blood builder, which so improves
the vital fluid that it thoroughly nour-
Ishes every part of the body. 1t is
also a powerful vitalizer that gives
