Calls President lntolerant.

Washington. - The question OF
whether President Roosevelt is an in
tolerant man, after the fashion of kim
George III, arose in the House Friday.
The discussion was founded on n local
newspaper story covering what pur
ported to be the details of an inter
view Thursday between the President
and Representative Diekema of Mich
igan, in which the President was pic
tured as humping his desk and berat
ing Mr.. Diekema for having Joined in
the report of the subcommittee of the
judiciary committee censuring Judge
Whitley of the United States court in
China.
Upon the statement of Representa-.
tive Williams of Mississippi, the minor
ity leader, that he purposed to offer a
resolution to ascertain if the President
had encroached upon the privileges of
a committee of Congress, Mr. Diekema
absolved the President from the sug-
gestion of intolerance made by Mr..
Williams and said that the President.
in the conversation which took place,
displayed the greatest liberality in re-
ceiving his explanation of the circum.
stances leading up to the filing of the
report. He denied that the President
thumped his desk, but admitted that he
gesticulated good deal.

The Evolution Of
Household Remedies.

Tho modern patent medicine busi-
ness is the natural outgrowth of the
old-time household remedies.
In the early history of this country,
EVERY FAMILY HAD ITS HOME
MADE MEDICINES. Herb teas,
bitters, laxatives and tonics, were to be
found in almost every house, compound
ed by the housewife, sometimes assisted
by the apothecary or the family doctor.
Such remedies as picra, which was
aloes and quassia, dissolved in apple
brandy. Sometimes hop tonic, made
of whiskey, hops and bitter barks. a
score or more of popular, homemade
remedies were thus compounded, the
formulae for which were passed along
from house to house, sometimes written,
sometimes verbally communicated.
The patent medicine business is a
natural outgrowth from this whole
some, old-time custom. In the begin
ming, some enterprising doctor, i'm
pressed by the usefulness of one OF
these homemade remedies, would take
it up, improve it in many ways, manu-
facture it on a large scale, advertise it
mainly through almanacs for the home,
and thus it would become used over a
large area. LATTERLY THE HOUSE
hold REMEDY BUSINESS TOOK
A MORE EXACT AND SCIENTIFIC
FORM.
Peruna was originally one of these
old-time remedies. It was used by the
Mennonites, of Pennsylvania, before it
was offered to the public for sale. DR..
Hartman, THE ORIGINAL COM
FOUNDER OF PERUNA, is Of Men
nonite origin. First, he prescribed it
for his neighbors and his patients.
The sale of it increased, and at last he
established a mandatory and 1ur-
nished it to the general drug trade.
Peruna is useful in a great many
climatic ailments, such as coughs, colds,
sore throat, bronchitis, and catarrhal
diseases generally. THOUSANDS OF
FAMILIES HAVE LEARNED THE
USE OF PERUNA and its value in the
treatment of these ailments. They
have learned to trust and believe in
Dr.. Hartman's judgment, and to rely
on his remedy, Peruua-

Washington. - Representative John

tatives has issued to the press a writ
ten statement defining the attitude OF
the Democratic party in the House to-
ward legislation urged by President

lied filibuster throughout the remain
der of the session.

has to do is to deliver twenty or twen-
ty-fve Republican House votes in favor

solid Democratic votes will put them
through"
Mr.. Williams notes the following
measures as the ones which will "com-
mand virtually the solid Democratic
vote within cons titutional limits"

District Of Columbia and the terri
tories.
An employers liability law, drawn 10
conform to the recent decisions of the

ployes.
A law to prohibit the issuance of in
functions without notice to the party
enjoined.
