Washington, April 8. = Yesterdays
session of the house will go down as
one of the .stormiest in it's history
The sum total of the days proceed
ings was the adoption of several addi-
tional rules to further check the Dem
ocratic flibuster and the passing Of
the two resolutions introduced by
Speaker Cannon calling on the depart
ment of justice and the department Of
commerce and labor for certain infor-
nation regarding the so-called paper
trust.
There were nine roll calls during
the day, five Of them on the new rules.
The Democrats exhausted their re-
sources before they were made to feel
that the Republicans by sheer force of
numbers had beaten them at every
point. The debate brought all the
leaders of the house to the front. The
Democrats were again charged with
making the special rules necessary by
reason of their filibuster, while the
Democrats reasserted that they at last
were causing the majority to enact
legislation.

ingly, it is not claimed that Syrup OF Figs
and Elixir OF SIENNA is the only remedy of
known value, but one OF many reasons
why it is the best of personal and family
laxatives is the fact that it ceanses,
sweetens and relieves the internal organs
on which it acts without any debiltating
after effects and without having to inc,eas
the quantity from time to time.
1t acts pleasantly and naturally and
truly as a laxative, and its component

Buying Medicine When Right Food

Money spent for "tonics" and "brac-

poor old stomach is loaded with pas

pocketbook containing the money.
If the money only is lost it's bad
enough, but with lost health from

Washington, April S.-As an after
math of the passage Monday of the
army appropriation bill. Senator Hale
of Maine, chairman of the committee
on naval affairs, yesterday sounded
warning against increase of the mill
tary establishments of the country
saying they we're inviting deficit in
the treasury and would serve no use

The whole of the session of the
house yesterday was devoted to the
consideration of the District of Co.
lumbla appropriation bill. Two amend
ments Of more or less national inter-
est were adopted. one providing for rs
cent gas for all district establishments
and the other requiring that all out
side doors to public school buildings
shall open outward, and that new
buildings shall have four exits.

Thursday.

Washington, April 1O.-The employ
ers' liability bill recently passed by
the house was yesterday passed by
the senate without amendment, so
that it is ready to go to the president
for his approval.
The scope of the bill is limited to
common carriers by railroad. The SEN
ate adjourned at $50 o'clock until
Monday.
Three times yesterday in the house
the Democrats caught the Republicans
mapping and forced them to produce a
quorum. On one other occasion a vote
by tellers disclosed the absence of a
quorum, but Speaker Cannon peremp
torily applied the Reed rule and de-
clared quorum to be present. In do
ing so he had a brief but lively clash
with MT. Williams.
Notwithstanding repeated roll calls
progress was made in the transaction
of public business. Both the army and
the Notifications appropriation bills
were sent to conference, the senate
bill to increase the efficiency Of the
cutter service was with Democratic
help passed, and the bill to promote
the safe transportation in interstate
commerce of explosive was considered

15-YEAR GAME OF cRIBBAGE.
1t Is for 7 illion Points and Will Be
Finished in 1915.

Finished in 1915.
cribbage game for million
points, which has already lasted sew
en- years, is being played in Des
Moines, Iowa, by Col. John c. Lopez
and Milo Ward, says the Clinton
Iowa, Herald The score to date is
460234 to 455.234
The players estimate that they will
live to finish the contest in IS. Mr..
Lopez is sheriff of Polk county and
Milo Ward is secretary of the Com
mercial exchange. The men play once
a week, either Monday or Saturday
night, from 1880 to II.
They have played for 376 consecu-
tive weeks and religiously keep their
weekly engagement The average
number of points made each night for
the last seven years is 2,150. Just
what the stakes are neither of the
players will divulge. Both men are
over the fifty-year mark.
The game has been divided into
series Of 100000 points each. The
men are now on their fifth. During
their weekly contest they take half
an hour for light refreshments.
The players have worn out a num-
Der of cribhage boards and about
twenty-five packs of cards so far in
their contest. The men expect on
their last series, which will come
about eight years from now, to invite
their friends and card experts to see
the finish of probably the longest card
game ever played in the world.

Occasionally one hears the hand

1t is the most Scientific" paint there
is. because it is made on the spot to
suit the particular purpose for which
it is to be used. 1t is as scientific as
a good doctors prescription. II the
painter did not mix it thus it would
be as unscientitic as a patent medi-
cine. Moreover, the paint which a
good painter turns out is made of
genuine white lead and pure linseed
oil. If he does not mix it himself he
is not sure what is in it, and conse-
quently his client cannot be sure.
AS for not being thoroughly mixed
by machinery, that is simply a mis-
statement. White Lead as made by
National Lead Company is thorough
ly incorporated with or s per cent.
OF pure Linseed oil in the factory, max
ing paste. This paste need only be
thinned with additional linseed oil to
make it ready for the brush.

plished before the painter gets it.
