WILL DELAY ADJouRNMi INT.
President Wants Congress 70 Remain
in Session After May 9.

Washington, Apr. 16.-Representa.
with the president Tuesday night
about an early adjournment of con-
gress and who stated after the con-
ference that the president and the
house was in harmonious agreement
for adjourning about May 8, was sum-
moned by the president to conference
Wednesday. Mr. Watson said the
president had sent for him to say that
he had overlooked the fact that there
would be a conference of governors
on May 10, and that when he had
called this conference he had done
so under the impression that congress
would be in session. Out of courtesy
to this conference, which will discuss
the subject of conserving the resources
of the country, especially the water
ways and forests, the president
thought it would be better for congress
to remain in session few days long
er if that could properly be done. Mr..
Watson said he agreed with the pres
ident and thought that adjournment
would take place about May 16.
Mr.. Watson reiterated statements
made Tuesday night that the president
was in hopes that certain legislation
he desired would be passed, but if it
could not be put through he would
offer no obstacle to an early adjourn

THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
DAYS OF FINANCIAL STRESS
MAKE FARM LANDS LOOK
RICH.

A staff contributor of southern
newspaper has taken up the question
of the return to the farm of many who
had forsaken 1t for the glitter of the
city. He says: ut is a well known
fact that the history of this Govern
ment shows that those man who have
been most successful in life and who
have left their impress upon its peo-
pie and its institutions as statesmen,
soldiers, financiers-have as a rule
been those whose youth was spent on
the farm, and it is to such as these
that there comes with overmastering
power THE CALL OF THE SOIL.
More especially does it come with re-
doubled responsiveness, greater pow
er and sweeter pleading to the man OF
affairs when the clouds of financial
unrest begin to darken the sky; when
the cry of panic causes people to lose
their wits and act like stampeded cat
tie; when with reason or without
reason there arises before him the
specter of ruin, grinning in his face
and waving its gaunt arms in threat
ening gesticulation.
The pitiable state into which some
men were brought by the recent finan-
cial furry, which happily is now
passed, suggests these reflections.
Some were ruined and very few be-
came insane because of their losses.
Two or three took their own lives.
1t is when such times come that the
statesman, the great financier, and
the man of affairs becomes tired of
the struggle. He lays down his pen,
turns from his desk and listens to
the CALL OF THE SOIL.
There are hundreds of cases
throughout the United States OF those
who have money in the banks and are
looking for investment in lands. No
investment Is better or safer. Take,
for instance, the lands in Western Can
ada that can be bought at from $40 to
SIS per acre which yield a revenue
equal to and often greater than their
original cost. Those lands make a
certain investment. During the past
two months large investments in
these lands have been made, some in
tending to use the lands for farming
purposes of their own. Others to re-
sell to farmer friends. The agents Of
the Government of Canada located at
different points throughout the United
States have in their possession par
ticuars of districts in which there are
free homestead grants of 100 acres
each accessible to railways, markets,
schools, churches, &c. These are val
liable lands. These agents will be
pleased to give information to any de-
sirous Of securing, and will tell all
about the railway rates, &c.

THE PARTING SEASON.

Good results In painting at the least
cost depend largely upon the material
chosen. Paint is a simple compound
and the ingredients can be easily test
ed. The solid part or pigment should
be White Lead. The liquid part
should be Linseed Oil. Those best in
formed on painting always buy these
ingredients separately and have their
painter mix them fresh for each job
Before the mixing the test is made.
Place a pea-sized bit of White Lead
on a piece of charcoal or piece of
wood. Blow the flame against it and
see what it will do. If it is pure
White Lead, little drops of bright, pure
metallic lead will appear, and with pa
thence the White Lead can be COM
pletely reduced to one globule of metal
lie lead. This is because pure White
Lead is made from metallic lead.
You may test dozens of other So
called White Leads and not be able
to reduce one of them to lead. If they
will not change wholly to lead but
leave a residue, it is clear that some
adulterant is present.
If you should have your painting
done with such materials, no matter
how cheap they might seem, it would
be costly in the end.
National Lead Company, Wood
bridge Building, New York City, are
sending on request blowpipe free to
any one about to have painting done,
so that the White Lead may be test
ed. With it will be sent handsomely
printed booklet having as its frontis-
piece the Dutch Boy Painter" re-
produced from the original painting.
This little painter has become noted
as the guaranty Of pure White Lead.

COFFEE EYES.
II Acts Slowly But Frequently Pro-
duces Blindness.

The curious effect of slow daily pol
soning and the gradual building in of
disease as a result, is shown in num-
bers of cases where the eyes are af-
fected by coffee.
A case in point will illustrate:
A lady in Oswego, Mont, expert
enced slow but sure disease settling
upon her eyes in the form of increas-
ing weakness and shooting pains
with wavy, dancing lines of light, so
vivid that nothing else could be seen
for minutes at time.
She says:
This gradual failure of sight
alarmed me and l naturally began a
very earnest quest for the cause.
About this time l was told that cof-
fee poisoning sometimes took that
form, and while l didn't believe that
coffee was the cause Of my trouble,
concluded to quit it and see.
Il took up Postum Food Coffee in
spite of the jokes of Husband whose
experience with one cup at a neigh
boris was unsatisfactory. Well, l
made Postum strictly according to d.
rections, boiling it little longer, be-
cause of our high altitude. The result
was charming. l have now used Pos
tum in place Of coffee for about 8
months and my eyes are well, never
paining me or showing any weakness.
know to a certainty that the cause
of the trouble was coffee and the cure
was in quitting it and building up the
nervous system on Postum, for that
was absolutely the only change made
in diet and l took no medicine.

a perfectly healthy state since have

of recent experience with one Of the

 High Arches and Medium Toes.
 High arches and a medium toe with rather rounded point are character istics Of the best new models in wom- ans footwear this season. A very at tractive tie. with large single eyelets through which ribbon is run. matching either the shoe CT its trimmings. is one of the fetching types shown at lead ing shop here. Fancy combinations of contrasting leather. cloth. and canvas. for u1pers with odd vamps are in great demand and at Palm Beach and other winter resorts where summer styles are first exploited. Shoes and matching accessories of light colored kids, white and coIored canvas and lowered cotton fabrics are now being worn by the people who lead the fash ion in this country.
 The Cretonne Fad.
 CretOnne used for trimmings and ac- CessOries was revived last year after long season of desuctude. and prom ises to be much more generally taken up with the coming summer. Belts vests, hats, paraSols and even shoes are made up Of the lowered cottonS. formerly relegated exclusively to the upholstery departments Not only are these employed as indicated but the figures in them are cut out and ap- piled for dress garnitures in a variety of ways. An imported gown of grey and white striped taffeta with bind ings of black satin has appliques of small crimson roses cut from cretonne put on with a chain stitch of black silk at the belt and about the bOdie trimmings
 Whites and blacks are not used as much as formerly in contrast with costumes. The demand is for match ing cOlors. not near matches but per feet reproductions of the dyes em- ploved for the fabrics. that make the costume. This means that each sea son the manufacturer gets out an en- tirely new set of ,colorings to cores pond with fashionable dress goods and supplement staple shades of tan and gray that are always in use. The new maize colorings are particularly at tractive and lilacs this season have a pinler tinge than formerly. The blues include Copenhagen and all the soft gray shades while for dress wear the preference is for pale pearl grays.
