CHEERFUL GUESTS.

Too much concern about ones physi,
cal welfare is likely to bring about a
condition Of mind and body almost as
much to be dreaded as the particular
evil which was feared. Persons who
are always thinking about themselves
are seldom pleasant companions. Mr..
Crouch, author Of "On the Surf-Bound
Coast" discovered this to be the case
when, during cable-laying expedition,
be and some companions visited an
African village.
Mr.. Crouch and his comrades had left
the ship for a few days, and were
established in a hut near the town. One
especially hot afternoon the hours
dragged slowly on. Dinner was sup
posed to be at six, but at quarter Of
seven it had not been brought in, and
all were in bad temper.
Just as patience was giving out two
figures appeared, mutf!ed in heavy
clothes. They were from the German
mission, and had come to call. Dinner
made It's appearance as they came in,
and they were invited to share the
meal.
'"Thank you, we have dined. We al
ways dine punctually at five thirty"
The half-famished hosts, however, sat
down to eat, excusing themselves, and
offering their guests a pipe.

had no rain for several months, what is
left is pretty foul"
This was pleasant.

Mr.. Crouch was just about to ask
what they did do when the visitors
rose.

tress after eating. My stomach was filled
with gas which caused me awful agony.
The backache I suffered was at times
almost unbearable and the least exertion
made my heart beat so fast that I could
hardly breathe. But the worst Of all was
the splitting neuralgia headache which
never left me for seven weeks. About this
time had had several numb spells. My
limbs would be cold and without any
feeling and the most deathly sensations
would come over me.
Nothing had helped me until began
taking DR.. Williams Pink Pills. in fact,
1 had grown worse every day. After
had taken the pills a short time I could
see that they were benefiting me and
one morning [ awoke entirely free from
pain. The distress after eating disap-
peared and i'll three weeks [ could eat
anything I wanted and suffer no incon-

taken several boxes of the pills and have

UNCLE SAM LAW VIOLATORP
Issues Liquor Licenses in Prohibition
Districts

The internal revenue subcommittee of the
House committee ca ways and means held
a hearing today on the various bills in
troduced to prevent the government from
issuing licenses to SEA liquor in districts
which have prohibition laws and to re-
quire internal revenue officers to testify in
prosecutions for violations of state liquor
laws.
Representative Humphreys (Mss.), Rep
resentatlve Bowie (Ala), and Representa-
tive Clark (Fla) spoke In favor of the
proposed bills, and said that the govern
ment was hindering the enforcement of
prohibition laws by placing vfoators beyond
the reach of federal laws and by refusing
to furnish the evidence necessary for sue
cessful prosecutions under local option
laws.
Mr.. Bowie presented figures taken from
internal revenue recorus, which show that
in, eight states ,3T0 government licenses
have been issued in sections where the
selling of liquor is prohibited by state laws
Each of these licenses, he said, represents

state license, there are 74o federal licenses

authorities to sell liquor in violation of

Adverse Report on Bill Regulating
Compromises in Assessments.

Strong dsapprcbation of House bill 1l9F
is voiced by the Commissioners, and they
have decided to report adversely upon the
measure When the proposed bill was re-
ceved a few days ago from the House Dis
trict committee, the Commissioners referred
1t to Assessor II. H DarneilIe for report.
The bill, with several provided furthers,"
contemplates authorizing the Commission
ers, whenever, in their judgment 1t may
seem for the best interest and welfare ut
the District of Columbia, to compromise ana
settle at such sum they may deem ex-
pedient any assessment amounting to $500
or more heretofore levied against any one
lot or piece os land for the widening of eI-
tending of any street, avenue alley in
the District OF Columbia"
Assessor Darneille in report on which the
adverse report of the Commissioners is
based says:
II see no equitable reason for the pass
age of the proposed bill In my opinion 1t
would result in inCalculable trouble and
annoyance to the Commissioners, and L can
see no good result which it might accom-
plish.'

AFTER UsURIoUs CONCERNS.
Activity Shown by Officials in the
Depa rtmentS


A bit of ancient history has been recalled
by the publication of q story relative TO
Secretary Hitchcock's activity against the
loan sharks" in the Interior Department
AS a matter of fact, Secretary Hitchcock
and all the other members of the cabinet
for that matter, are doing what they can
to stamp out the mutual loan associa-
tions'' and ''symposiums," through which
and by which money is loaned to clerks in
small amounts at anywhere from % per
cent per annum to 100 per cent per annum
interest. 1t was last October when Secre-
tary Hitchcock got after several persons in
the pension office and dismissed them be-
cause of their association with loan COM
panies or other outside concerns that, he
says, have business employing clerks to
act as their agents. Those dismissed at
that time were DR.. j. r. Mayes, G. H. Getz,
J. i. Neil q. 5. Livingston and Geo. r.
Marble. Marble was refnstated two days
ago because his case was not an aggra-
waited one. He had been an assistant to
Getz when the latter was acting as pen
sion Office agent for the gas company an
express company and one or two other pr
vate enterprises, and at the same time was
drawing down government pay.
Complaint. however, is made that the
pension office should be Disseminated
against In this manner, when, II is claimed
by certain officials, that at least two clerks
in the Interior Department, working almost
in the shadow of the Secretary's Office. We're
found guilty of doing practically the same
thing for which the pension office clerks
were dismissed. But the Interior Depart
ment clerks-both of them women, and one
of them related to a prominent statesman
were only told to 'desst." They still
tain their positions. Clerks in the pension
Office said today that they thought equal
leniency should be extended to the pension
Office.
