Washington, Dec. 19.-Whether the
senate is warranted in censuring a
senator convicted in court of miscon-
duct and not assigning him to a place
on standing committees, yet leaving
his name on the senate rolls. was dis
cussed for two hours yesterday by the
senate and then dropped without rul-
ing on the question. Several senate
leaders took up the subject. On &C.
count of the delicacy of the question
the debate naturally was not as open
as would be necessary for final de-
termination of the matter.
Mr.. Bailey raised the point by in
curing of Mr.. Hale when the latter
presented the new list of standing
committees whether every senator had
been provided with place. Mr. Hale
replied that every senator except Mr.
Burton of Kansas had been given as
signments, and he had been left Off
the committees at his own request I'M
til the charges against him had been
disposed of by the courts. Mr.. Mailey
protested against any senator's name
being kept on the roll unless he was
given work to do, and argued that it
is the duty of the senate to itself, to
Kansas and to the country, to investi-
gate the charges against Mr.. Burton
and determine whether he is entitled
to a seat in the senate.
Insurance, hazing, the suffering Rus
sian Jews and immigration were all
topics of discussion in the house yes
terday under the general leave OF
talk. The only business done was to
send the canal appropriation bill to
conference.

Washington, Dec. IS. - The senate
Saturday passed the Panama canal
emergency appropriation bill, but the
result was not attained until after the
debate on the bill had been continued
the greater part of the day to the ex-
clusion of practically all other bust
ness.
The house INDUCED itself again to
the extent of four hours of what was
many times termed an academic dis
cussion of federal control of insur-
ance. 1t was the fourth day of the de-
bate and the interest of members had
apparently diminished. Democratic
contention for states rights predomi-
mated in the oratory. The Republic
ans who spoke confined themselves
more to the committee reference
which should be made of the subject
of insurance in the presidents mes
sage. On this many views were ex-
pressed.

Little Calie Gordon
Getting Strong and Well
-Four Year Old Daughter of Stafford Man
Rapidly Improving Under Prof. Lar.
sons DrugIess Treatment

Stafford, Kas., March l5.-LittIe CalliI
Gordon, the four.year.old daughter Of
Mr., and Mrs. Frank Gordon, who livt
three miles south Of Stafford, Is getting
strong and well under Prof. Larson'i
drugless treatment. This Is the glat
news her father is telling the scores oil
people with sick aud crippled children
who are interested in her case.
"Callie's trouble Is in her SPINE" Mr.
Gordon told local newspaper man
"Before she began the treatment she was
all bent over so she could hardly walk
and her head was shaking all the time
like in St. Vitus dance. Her spine has
Strengthened greatly under the treat
ment and Is Strengthening more and
more all the time. She can walk and
hanele herself and use her hands so
much better now, and her head has quit
shaking. Lots of people said they could
notice the improvement after the second
treatment and | know she has been better
since the first, but the great improve
ment showed after the fifth treatment.
"We have spent lots Of money on
Callle trying to make her strong and
well. None Of the ordinary methods did
her any good and last summer took her
to the hospital at Hutchinson, but they
failed there as well. had faith In this
treatment because my wife was cured Of
female trouble by magnetic healer,
after other methods had failed, several
years ago."
The wonderful improvement In the
case Of little Callie Gordon Is no excep-
ton. There is no one class of troubles
that Prof, Larson has treated that has
given him such reputation as the treat
ment Of children's diseases. His cures of
children, especially paralytics and those
afflicted with nervous disorders, are In.
deed wonderful. AT Newton, Kansas,
for instance, one home practically ran
hospital during his stay there, taking
care of the children who were under his
treatment. Literally hundreds of Kan
Bas children owe health and strength to
The power Of this man and bis assistant,
Prof. W, F. Wells.
Prof Larson'S good work In Stafford
will make him a welcome visitor among
hose seeking health under a drugless
reatment whenever he sees fit to visit
his place again. 1T
