Prominent Men Appear Before Com
mittee Of Congress.
White Mountains, Principal Source
of White Paper Pulp. Affected
by Pending Bill.

The advocates OF the White Mountain
and Appalachian forest reserves had an
inning yesterday before the House Com
mittee on Agriculture.
1t is said that Speaker Cannon has re-
Tented somewhat in his opposition 10 the
measure, which has been in Congress for
several sessions. and that he is likely 10
yield 20 the pressure which has been
brought &c bear in the interests OF the
legislation desired. For this reason the
friends Of the proposition have redoubled
their efforts 10 get the measure before the
Rouse for consideration.
There were present before the COM
mittee upward OF a hundred prominent
men from New England and the South
ern States along the Atlantic Seacoast
and half a dozen speeches were made in
an effort 10 show the committee the ur-
gent necessity Of protecting the White
Mountains and Appalachian forests In
the interests OF preserving naviga bic
streams and timber.
Gov. HolIe Smith appeared in charge
NJ the delegation from Georgia. and New
Hampshire. which is vitally interested IN
the matter. was represented by Gov.
Floyd, ex-tTOV. Rollins. and eX-GOv. Nc
Lane. North Carolina. Virginia, South
Carolina, Vermont. Massachusetts,. and
West Virginia were also represented
The principal arguments were made by
engineers. biologists, and foresters, who
showed the need Of protecting the for
ests by the creation Of the reserves. p.
y. Ayres. Of New Hampshire. said that
the White Mountains are the chief source
Of the supply Of spruce. from which white
paper is made; that the present method
OF cutting the timber is extremely waste,
full and that fire inevitably follows and
retards the growth OF spruce from 1oo 10
2l1 years.
/. c. White State geOlogist OF West Vir-
ginia, asked the committee why Con-
gress continued 10 appropriate for the
building Of locks and dams in navigsbie
streams. and permitted the sources OF
rivers and streams so improved 10 be-
come dried UP. " 5 Gee. OF Charleston,
s. c., described the great damage which
defOTestation is infiicting on manufactur-
ing by reducing the power which can be
gotten from the streams Of the South.
II Is probable that q favorable report
upon the measure viii be made by the
committee.

4 Great Psychologist
Once Said the Way to Keep the
Stomach Healthy Is to
Exercise It.
But He Did Not Tell How to Make 1t
Healthy.

The muscles Of the body can be devel-
oped By exercise until their strength has
fncreas ed manifold, and a proper amount
of training each day Will accomplish this
result. but il is somewhat doubtful
whether YOU can increase the digestive
powers of the stomach by eating indiges-
tible food in order 10 force il 10 work
Nature has furnished US all with per-
feet set OF organs. and II they are not
abused they win attend TO the business
required OF them. They need no abnor-
nal strength.
There is a limit to the weight a man
can lift, and there is also limit to what
the stomach can do.
The cause of dyspepsia indigestion, and
many affiliated diseases is that the stom-
ach has been exercised too much and it
is tired or worn out. Not exercise but
rest is what it needs.
To take something into the stomach
that will relieve It from its work for a
short time-something 10 digest the food
will give it rest and allow It time TO
regain its strength.
The proper aid to the digestive organs
Is Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, which cure
dyspepsia, indigestion, gas on the stom-
ach and bowels, heartburn, palpitation OF
the heart. and all stomach diseases.
Rest and inauguration is what the stom-
ach gets when you use Stuart's Dyspep-
STA Tablets, for one grain of the active
principle in them is sufficient to digest
5000 grains of food.
The Tablets Increase the flow Of gastric
Juice, and prevent fermentation. acidity.
and sour eructatiOns.
Do not attempt 10 starve out dyspep-
STA. You need all your strength.
The comnon-sense method is to digest
the food for the stomach and give It a
rest.
stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets do not make
the cure. but enable the organs 20 throw
of unhealthy conditions
Perfect digestion means perfect health.
for under these conditions only do the
different organs OF the bedy work right
and receive the building-up material
found in pure blood.
stnart's Dyspepsia Tablets are a natural
remedy and are a specific for stomach
troubles. The ablest physicians prescribe

for ONCE Building.
An unexpected, and in the opinion OF
many members OF the House. an IN
necessary increase of expenses in con-

OF Illinois. chairman Of the committee
charged with the distribution Of rooms
in the new building. and probably more
familiar with its needs than any other
member. I'm whose opinion all that could
be justified under the TemOtest possible
contingency was the employment Of
twelve or fifteen watchmen during the
sessions Of Congress and four or FIVE
during the TeceSses at $50 a month apiece
Mr. Tawney. of Minnesota, in charge of
the bill defended the item. It represent
ed. he said. the judgment Of the superin-
tendent Of the Capitol and the sergeant
alarms, as 10 the requirements Os the
situation. and prompt action he declared
TO be necessary for the good name and
fame of the House itself.
Mr.. Gaines, Of Tennessee, also opposed
the appropriation. why" he said, that
is one policeman for about every ten
members. II we vote for this police force,
what will the people think of us?'

that he viii get a site or two or a

However much that may help out
and make the Republican kickers
pause, the job of getting the House
into line is a big one and 'fUncle joe
viii certainly have to jog around to
the White House some morning in the
course of few weeks and confess
to the President that it is very diff
cult for him, now an old man much
past seventy, to keep these vigorous
aggressive men in leash. The leaders
at the Capitol can see the visit COM
ing as sure as the sun rises and sets.
Then Theodore Roosevelt will get
some more exercise pulling Republican
Representatives into line with admin
istration policies. There will be COM
promises and amendments. The pill
will be made as palatable as possible
and probably it will taste well to the
the law makers who thought it would
be very bitter. Such things happen at
every session of Congress and, while
there is a lot of feeling over them for
the time being, nearly everybody gets
good natured by the time the gavel
falls for the session and Congress
starts for home.
