Washington. Dec. 16.-The senate
today definitely decided to enter upon
an investigation relative to the por-
ton Of the presidents message which
criticises the action OF congress in
prohibiting the detail Of secret SER
vice men to duty in other departments.
The resolution had been in contem-

received on Tuesday Of last week. 1t
was decided that Senator Aldrich
should stand sponsor for the measure
and the Rhode Island senator present
ed a resolution authorizing the in
quiry.
Senator Culberson, the leader Of the
Democrats. sent up substitute which
was somewhat more specific than Mr..
Aldrichs resolution.
Both measures were promptly re-

expense and almost immediately af-
terward Senator Keane reported back
the Aldrich resolution with q recon-
mendation that 1t pass. Senator Cul-
berson objected and 1t looked as If

have secured the exclusive
agency of the Famous Kushion
komfort Shoes. SO superior and
reliable is the sterling merit of this
shoe that to wear them once is to
be convinced forever that they are
the worlds best in the essential
features of health, comfort and
satisfaction. They are instantly
comfortable, noiseless in walking,
retaining their original shape. The
sole is an absolute nonconductor,
excluding heat in summer and cold
and dampness in all seasons, thus
preserving health and promoting
life, having a thick Kushion Sole
and rubber heel. They bring back
that spring-step to old age, joy and
bouyancy to tired women, and that
style Of graceful carriage so much
admired by tine young. Atpresent
am doing some house to house
canvassing to introduce the shoes
and get them established on the
market; then will put in a shoe
parlor. So don't get scared when
you see me coming, but be sure
to save me an order.
