1.-THE congress is granted great power

1T is not too much today that this
amendment has been of benefit only, and
could be OF benefit only, to the criminal

turers In selling binding Irvine direct to
the farmer, when the business belongs to
the retail dealers. 4 protest Is made
against shortening the term of discount on
spring goods from June to July first, in
territory covered by the association, to
April /, as 1t is too early and In many
cases works a hardship on the dealers.
They urge the establishment of headquart-
ers at the state fair grounds, but oppose
the sale of vehicles and implements dur
ing such time, and oppose the establish
ment Of branch stores in country towns by
the manufacturers and jobbers for selling
goods at retail and demand the elimina-
tion of such branch houses in the interest
of fair play and competition. The dealers
are urged to be loyal to the houses which
do not sell to the catalogue house or
other dealers who will injure the retail
trade. The convention is opposed to the
use of canvassers by the harvester CONS
panies as being inimical to the interests
Of the dealers and they deprecated the
method used by thresher companies to
secure trade regardless of the retail dealer.

WASHINGTON, Dec. I1.-Attention was
called today to the fact that the utter
snces of the president in regard to the
action of congress in limiting the use of
the secret service force is not the only
action of the executive that is considered
by members as Objectionable. 1t became
known that the subcommittee OF the COM
mittee on appropriations. having in charge
the preparations Of the legislative, execu-
tive and judicial appropriation bill. has
been Investigating the razing OF the old
Pennsylvania depot, that was located on
the Mail, until the president had 1t torn
down last summer. That the committee
allied to expunge its inquiries about this
action from the printed hearings is taken
; 0 indicate the temper of that committee
toward the executive.
When Colonel Charles 8. Bromwell
military aide to the president and super
ntendent OF public buildings and ground
appeared before the committee, Repre-
sentative Burleson Of Texas asked him
he had not requested an appropriation las.
year for a Waterman for the old depot.
Il think So" replied Colonel Bromwell,
but have not had any occasion TO use
it. because 1 have torn down the railroad
station"
What! Torn down the railroad sta
tion." exclaimed the Texan member.
Colonel Cromwell explained that he tore
down the building on a written order from
the president Of the United States.

animation OF government officials to as

To correct distressing urinary ills;

Mrs. w. c. Davis, 829 West Sew
enth Street, Hopkinsville, KY, says:
"Mr. Davis has never had an oc-
casion to use Doan's Kidney Pills or
any other kidney medicine since he
recommended them in the summer of
1903. For years prior to that time
he had been an almost constant suf-
ferer from kidney trouble. He had
intense pains in his back which ex-
tended to his shoulders and annoyed
him all day. They prevented him
from sleeping during the night. The
relief he obtained from the use of
Doan's Kidney Pills which he got at
L. A. Johnson & Co.'S. drug store
was surprising. They acted differ
emily from any remedy he ever tried
and he has never had a recurrence
of the trouble since using this valu-
able remedy four years ago. 1t
speaks pretty strongly for Doan's
Kidney Pills that cured him."

Milk And Salt For Skin

A treatment which is simple and
beneficial to the good appearance of
the skin is the milk and salt treat
ment. Wash the face at night just
before going to bed with hot water
and salt, using the salt as you would
soap. Do not use the water so hot
as to make the face tender or dry.
Then rinse in cold water. Apply a
solution made of one teaspoonfdl of
salt to two tablespoonful of milk as
a cold cream or skin food. After a
few applications the face will be as
smooth as ivory and will be deli
cate pink.
