Bill Assured
House Passes Conferees Report
and Senate VIII Follow
Suit Today
WAsHTNGroN.

WASHINGTON. May s7.-SAn erner-
gency currency law is assured. The
currency question held it's place today
as practically the only subject of COM
sideration at both euds of the capitol.
and when both houses adjourned the
compromise bill. which was drafted by
the republican conferees, had received
the sapction of the house and had been
presented to the~senate, where IL was
announced it, would be taken up for
consideration tomorrow. and where 1t
will also be passed when the vote is
reached.
THE day began with a continue tion
Of Yesterdays conference between the
republican representatives OF the two
houses This resulted in complete
agreement, which was later passed by
a vote of 16s to 140. NJ
The house had no sooner recorded
its verdict In favor of the bill than 1t
was hurried over to the senate, shortly
before o'clock with the announce
ment of the approval Of the. house.
AS the situation. now appears. the
time of voting In the senate and the
consequent final adjournment of con-
gress depends largely upon one man,
and that is Senator La Toilette So
far as they have spoken the demo-
Gratis are inclined to permit final action
after comparatively brief consideration.
Senator La Toilette refused to out
line his probable course further than
to say that he would vote against the
new bill.
Senator sAldrich does not expect to
speak on the bill beyond making a
brief statement.
FAITH CURE MEASURE
Some of the democratic. senators are
preparing to charge him with having
abandoned his-cpposition to asset cur
rency. and he said today that he might
make some announcement of his POSI-
ton in that respect. -As a matter of
fact he said. this bill comes nearer
providing government money than we
have ever had. The government Is to
issue it upon securities 1t approves and
the power of the treasury officials is
absolute"
The opinion was expressed by Aldrich
that the whole bill is more than half
! faith cure and that. he added, "is
just what the country needs"
In discussing the bill in the house.
Cochran of New York inquired IL there
could be any such thing as make
shift currency. He recalled a former
speech on the currency question and
ure of banks to meet their obligations,
their incapacity to pay their bills over
the counter. Such incapacity In indi-
viduals. he said, would be called bank
ruptcy. which would necessitate the
immediate surrender of such capital as
the individual placed in the hands OF
creditors and their exclusion from the
ranks of active business. But when
that condition overlook bank. he
said. II IS not to be considered a fall
ure or bankruptcy. Cochran. put the
question to Burton whether the
conference measure was not intended

though the members of the order of
Native Sons are not aware of the fact,

camps by body of attendants COM
posed largely of college graduates and
young women of some of the best
families in the state of California.
One of the attendants, Miss Martha
Briggs, has national reputation as
political manager and is known in sew
eral eastern states as "the tariff
snasher" and the "anti-tariff queen"
She recently came to California for her
health and was advised to make trip
to the Yosemite. Her funds, invested
were tied up as a result of the financial
panic, so in true western style she Sc
cured a position in the hotel and Is at
the same time getting the benefit of
the mountain air as advised by her
physician.
Miss Briggs is woman of strong
personality and, as the stenographer
in the Offices of the Standard Oil COM
pany in New York. attracted the at
tention of several we'll known busi-
nessmen by her ability and energy
When Grover Cleveland was elected
president in 1892 the leading demo-
Gratis of the east formed the tariff re-
form league for the purpose of gain
ing public sympathy for the Cieve-
land policies. Miss Briggs was given
a position in the league and in few
months was made superintendent of
the large staff of employees. She ar
ranged public meetings In all the
eastern states and. although she never
spoke in public, she was prominent
figure at the various gatherings
THE TARIFF sMAsHE;R
In Connecticut she worked for tar
if reform with such energy that she
became known as the tariff smasher.
In other states she was N..the anti

and had entree to all the cabinet de-
partments. Later she acted as SUI
perintendent of the currency reform
league. Her heavy duties injured her
health and she was forced TO rest for
several years. Later she was advised
to come 10 California to gain her
strength. Los Angeles doctors recon-
mended the Yosemite and. instead of
waiting until the financial situation
had cleared. she has taken a position
in the hotel.
In many of the camps the mattresses

THE LAND OF WEAK KIDNEYS

It is admitted that Bright's Dis ease of the kidneys cause more deaths in the United States than in any other country; that more than half the sickness in America is due to weak or diseased kidneys.
 We are a weakkidneyed people, and the reason is plain. Ambitious to enjoy more than mere living, to have all the pleasures that our neighbors have. anxious for wealth and success; we overwork, rest lit tie, eat and drink unwisely, and are "on the go" all the time.
 This strenuous life of to-day teiis on the kidneys. The human body was planned for a simpler life. There is just so much work that each organ can do. The kidneys filter our blood day and night, re- ceiving it in a ceaseless stream, draining off the poisonous impuri- ties This duty is heavy enough in normal average life, but when we work early and late, give up rest and repose for enjoyment. and re- tire late to troubled sleep, the work of the kidneys is increased enor- mously. Every bit of energy con sumed throws into the blood a quantity of waste like. the ashes of fire, and if the using up Is too rapid the kidneys cannot keep pace with it. A cold, chill, fever. strain or any excess may hasten the in- evitable breakdown. and as the cir. culation of the blood never stops the kidneys have no time to rest, nc

It is said that the president has already begun his editorial work on the magazine called the Outlook and that the coming number will have an article from his pen on the Awaken ing in China, says a Washington writer. Doubtless the president has gotten much information on this subject from books, missionaries and the public press but it is question able if he will write as well on the subject now as he might write after he has made study of that country on the ground. There is no doubt that China is awakening but so long and so profound has been her slumber and so impervious is she. owing to physical and psychological conditions to modern thought that it is doubtful if even our grandchildren will be able to say she is awake. China has no language, her immense population estimated by guesses (and nothing moreD to be four hundred millions have no common linguaI medium of communication The denizens of cities and villages twenty miles apart cannot talk to each other. They have no expression for patriotism public spirit or progress and in these respects are impervious to the senti- ments and influences which aroused their neighbors, the Japanese and launched them on their cOnquering career. The Chinese are by far the most enigmatical and puzzling great aggregation of people on the planet They are more industrious more pa tient and more honest, yes and more intelligent than the Japanese, and are. without question, physically and intellectually superior to them President Roosevelt's article in the Outlook will he read in at least a dozen languages and many China men in the fiowery kingdom will read it in English and translate into Mandaranite. when it will be read by the numerically large but proportion. ately to the population small mum.

chance to mend. Sick kidneys can- not get we'll alone.
 The first warnings of kidney weakness are dull, aching pain in the back, retention, excessive flow, dis coloration or scalding of the urine. This tells of kidney congestion or inflammation. Neglect the trouble and dizziness, nervousness, rheu- matte pain, swollen ankles and limbs dimming of the eyesighy, sediment in the urine, or futtering of the heart will mark the near approach of dropsy. gravel. stone in the kid ney, diabetes or Bright's disease.
 Only in one way can kidney dis orders be checked and cured-by prompt treatment of the kidneys themselves with special kidney remedy. Deans Kidney Pills are for the kidneys only. They cure sick kidneys, clear and regulate the urine relieve strain upon the heart and nerves, and cure backache. rheuma- tic pain and dizziness. They are recommended at home by people you | know.
 WATERBURY PROOF R. R. Calender, retired, 90 Bishop street, Waterbury, Conn, says: 'I am just as willing to endorse Doan's Kidney Pills to-day as I was in 1908. I suffered from backache and was unable to find relief until I procured Doan's Kidney Pills, at H. w. Lakes drug store. I know of other cases in which this remedy has been taken and to my knowledge the best of l results have always followed"

A committee has been appointed and will soon start for the back woods to study conditions on the farms, with view to assisting the president to devise means of making country life more agreeable. They will probably find that the farmers are troubled by the same conditions as the poor man in the cities, that is too little money and too much work, but the junketers must have their junkets.
