as the result of an investigation which
the Civil Service Commission is making
for the purpose of ascertaining specific
facts in the record of Hon. Godfrey W.
Hunter. who was for years a member of
Congress from Kentucky and the
crowned ruler of the Republican party
of the Blue Grass State. He was also
American minister to Guatemala for some
years 1t is charged that Hunter, while
a member of Congress, was guilty of
violation Of the Federal statute prohibits
ing an offiseholder soliciting campaign
contributions from another officeholder
under the Federal government. The pen
atty is n maximum OF three years in
prison and fine ofafve hundred dollars.
. The Virginia Republicans manage these
matters much more skillfully. Instead of
having preventative Slemp tax the
officcholders for the support of the or
gahization, they simply make his son
chairman OF the Republican State Com
mlttee, and tho latter holds up the men
with jobs. Practically every Federal
officeholder in Virginia received letter
from the state chairman, son of Repre-
sentative Slemp. last year, asking, in
fact, demanding, a contribution for cam
paign expenses. And there can be no
indictment.

Mr. Clapp spoke in general support OF
the rate bill as reported from the Com
mittee. on Interstate Commerce. He up
held the right of Congress TO fix rates
either directly or through a commission
and defended the omission from the bill
of a provision for judicial review of
rates.
Mr.. Tillman asked Mr.. CIapp If he
interpreted the bill to mean that any
rircuit judge or district judge, upon COM
plant could suspend the order of the
commission until the litigation was COM
pleted and Mr.. Clapp replied, NO not
in thousand years"
He added that what he had said was
that where the court suspended this
order pendente lite, it only operates as
the expression of the purpose of the

that inheres in the court that need not

Mr. Bailey did not accept the doctrine
that Congress had not the power to forbid

such was the case, the Spooner impound-

He did not believe in closing the doors

Nerve

Everything depends Upon
your nerves. 1t is nerve force
that causes the brain to direct
the motion of your body; it is
nerve force that causes your
heart to pulsate, and send the
blood through your veins; it
is nerve force that causes your
stomach to digest food, your
kidneys to filter the blood, and
the liver to secretc bile.
In fact, nerve force is the
power that runs your body, SO
if you feel worn-out, irritable,
nervous, cannot sleep, or cat

Make the Explanation.

Often bitter quarrels and IRENE
diable breaches occur between those
who really love one another because
OF a mistake which might have been
easily explained to full satisfaction
but that the one who had taken Of
Tense was too angry to listen to any
defense on the part Of the unwilling
offender. Not infrequently some
unlucky impulse tempts woman tc
see how far she can try the patience
of the man whom she loves with all
her heart. No end of harm is done
by people who mean none. So she
goes beyond her tether, and before
she knows it the tightly strained
cord has snapped, says Woman's
Life. In conclusion, they who seek
peace should remember that it takes
two to quarrel and that "a soft an
swer turneth away wrath, but griev-
Gus words stir up anger"

The BARRIERS Pole.

In early times, the tradition goes,
both medicine and surgery were in
the hands Of BARRIERS, as indeed they
continued to be for many centuries
afterward. The old theory was that
the men of the razor were the wor-
thiest to handle the lancet, and even
in the middle ages the lancet was
the one great instrument Of medi-
cine, as bloodletting was one of
the chief practices of the time. In
the days Of old during the opera
lion Of bleeding the patient used
to grasp a stick which the barber
surgeon kept ready for use that the
pain might be lessened, in just the
same way as in the days before chic
reform was invented people under
going a severe operation frequently
chewed lead bullets. Around this
stick was twined supply Of band
ages for tying up the arm of the
patient. When not in use the pole
was hung at the door as sign. In
the course of time a painted staff
was displayed instead of the one
actually used during the operations.
