AIDS AT WHITE HOUSE
ON THE ANXIOUS SEAT

I T his own request, 1t Is said, Lieut..
Philip H. Sheridan has been re-
lieved as military aid at the white
house and returned to active service
in his regiment, as he is desirous of
working out his future In the army
as a soldier in the field rather than
enjoying the life of comparative idle
ness at Washington.
Lieut.. Sheridan was one OF the
most popular aids at the white house
during the last two seasons, and It
was understood among his many
friends that he would be enabled to
retain the choice social position
throughout the coming season. Re.
Gently, however, 1t developed that
pressure was being brought by friends
of other young officers to land the

Is thought possible that the president
may have decided upon a change In
order to give others an opportunity
to shine at the executive mansion. In
this connection 1t Is now rumored that

CONGRESS MAY SHAKE
UP THE LIQUOR TRAFFIC

1t has. they say, been nullifying the
state laws in two ways. The offense
of which most complaint Is made is
that OF permitting the shipment Of
liquor in unbroken packages from one
state In the dry" territory Of an
other state.
1t is also asserted that the federal
government Is directly antagonizing
states by licensing the sale Of liquor
in territory that has been made dry"
under state laws. In it's anxiety to
swell its internal revenue receipts, 1t
is alleged, the government, through
Its internal revenue department, is
constantly recognizing the lawless
liquor element by issuing government
licenses.
The fight of the session will center
around the bill giving state control of
interstate shipments of liquor into
dry" territory when they reach the
state border, but the temperance
forces may go further and demand
that the federal governments internal
revenue department shall not issue a
government license to any person who
has not first complied with all the re-
quirements of the state law governing
the sale Of Intoxicating liquors. The
movement. in short. is to bring the
federal government to the support of
the states in the effort that is being
made everywhere for the better regu.

M AShINGTON. - Preparatory TO

considering the advisability OF pro-
viding public baths In the District.
They strongly favor the establishment
of public baths, and last year recon-
mended that an appropriation be made

turned 1t down. This year, 1t is stated,
the commissioners will ask for an ap-
preparation with which to establish
public baths for the accommodation Of
pupils Of the public schools, and the
establishment of public laundries in
connection with the public baths.
All of the commissioners are anx-
ious to provide some kind Of bathing

children. It Is their aim to make the
scheme Of such nature as to have
swimming lessons as part of the

A MOTHER matter which Is to be
~ urged upon the attention Of con-
gress is the liquor question. Every
year now for several years the Little

the traffic has made its appearance,
but the National Association of Brew

citation and various other organiza-
tions have always been on the look.

In blocking its passage.
This year 1t begins to look as though
the liquor traffic which has been get
ting so many hard knocks from the
states lately is to get a national shak-
ing up as well.
At the coming session the Anti-Sa-
loon League of the United States.
which has become powerful organi-
zation, will make a strenuous effort
to get legislation through. The league
believes the time Is ripe for the long
delayed federal legislation. With the
fight against the liquor power raging
successfully in more than half the
states In the union, the league officers
feel encouraged to believe that con-
gress will no longer refuse to enact
the desired legislation.
The states are doing handsomely,

Tells Readers How to Prepare This
Homs-Made Mixture to Cure the
Kidneys and Bladder and

Get from any prescription pharma-
cist the following:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one-half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce;
Compound Syrup sarsaparilla. three
ounces.
Shake well In bottle and take .
teaspoonful dose after each meal and
at bedtime.
The above is considered by an emil

scription ever written to relieve Back
ache, Kidney Trouble. Weak Bladder
and all forms of Urinary difaculties.
This mixture acts promptly ON the
eliminative tissues Of the Kidneys, en-
abling them to filter and strain the
uric acid and other waste matter from
the blood which causes Rheumatism.
Some persons who suffer with tho
afiictions may not feel inclined to
place much confidence In this simple
mixture. yet those who have tried Il
say the results are simply surprising,
the relief being effected without tho
slightest injury to the stomach or 9TH

think every child, boy or girl, should
learn the art of swimming.
In connection with the effort Of the
commissioners to secure these public
baths It Is also likely they win en-
deavor to establish one or two public
laundries In the District. This idea
is something new and novel In this
part of the country, although such
places are common throughout Eu-
rope.
1t is the belief that public laundry
should be connected with every public
bathhouse erected In the District and
to have each laundry supplied with not
less than 80 stationary wash tubs.
where the women Of the poorer class
esscan take their clothing to be wash-
ed, requiring only a triHing sum for
soap and other incidentais. Connected
with each laundry 1t IL the idea to
