Der. The result of this rule is that now on the opening days of congress the desks of the members are bare of floral decorations In the old days both House and Senate were turned into conservatories for the time of the opening proceedings.
 At sharp noon Speaker Cannon called the House to order and asked the chaplain. Rev Henry N Couden, to offer prayer In his prayer which was in a sense Thanksgiving offer ing, the chaplain referred to the pros perity of the country, the cpportuni- ties of the present and the bright hopes and promises of the future

SKIN ROUGH AS BARK.
Baby Boy Had Intense Itching Humor
 Scratched Till Blood Ran.
Found a Cure in Cuticura.

Our son, two years old, was afflicted with a rash. After he suffered with the trouble several weeks I took him to the doctor but it got worse. The rash ran together and made large blisters. The little fellow didn't want to do anything but scratch and we had to wrap his hands up to keep hin from tearing the flesh open till the blood would run. The itching was in- tense. The skin on his back became hard and rough like the bark of a tree. He suffered intensely for about three months. But I found a remedy in Cuticura Soap and Cuticura Oint- ment. The result was almost mag ical. That was more than two years ago and there has not been the slight est symptom of it since he was cured. J. W. Lauck, Yukon, Okla, Aug. 2S and Sept. IT, 1908."

officer. He was greeted with great applause from the galleries and from the floor of the House, many of the Democrats and insurgents joining in the demonstration, though in either case possibly the hand-clapping was given as an evidence of regard for the office of speaker. rather than as evi- dence of any overweaning affection for the speaker himself
 With the committees ready to begin work, the House will settle down to it's winters business at once No bills will be passed immediately because all measures must be considered in committee, and the meetings of the committees will be held daily from now until the Christmas holidays and some of the more important House bodies will sit during the recess. When congress reassembles in Janu- ary many of the committees will be ready to report bills, and the debates of the winter will begin.
 Opening of the Senate
 Vice-President Sherman called the Senate to order at noon. Rev. Ed ward Everett Hale, the chaplain of the Senate, having died during the summer recess, his place as chaplain, temporarily was taken by local clergyman who offered prayer. In the Senate the roll was called and it was found that nearly all the Senators were in their seats. The resolutions were adopted to the effect that con- mittees be appointed to inform the House and the president that the Sen ate had assembled and was ready to begin the business of the session. As was the case in the House many bills were introduced for consideration dur ing the winter by senators who, like the representatives, desire to have hand in forwarding administration pol icies.
 After a comparative short session fin the open,' the galleries were cleared and the Senate went into ex ecutive session behind closed doors for the purpose of considering nomina- tions for office sent to the Upper House by President Taft.

FOR OLD PEOPLE,

After reaching the age of forty the human system gradually declines. The accumulated poisons in the blood cause rheumatic pains in the joints muscles and back. These warnings should be promptly relieved and seri- ous illness avoided by using the fol lowing prescription which shows won derful results even after the first few doses and it will eventually restore physical strength.
 One ounce compound syrup of Sarsaparilla; one ounce Toris com pound; half pint of high grade whis- key. This to be mixed and used in tablespoonful doses before each meal and at bedtime. The bottle to be well shaken each time" Any druggist has these ingredients or can get them from his wholesale house.

Not Her First Purchase.

This is a baby story they tell out at Beloit: A woman called at a dry goods store to look at some baby dresses. The clerk showed her line valued at five dollars each, and talked volubly about "how proud" the moth CT ought to be over the baby. He suggested that possibly she might want a more expensive dress
 But the mother did not seem to "enthuse" bit over the clerks gush.
 How many children have you?'' asked the clerk, cautiously.
 "Oh, this is the eleventh" she re piled, carefully scanning the price tags.
 And out came line of baby dresses with more modest list of prices Kansas City Journal.

SOLQNS IF NATION
 BEGIN THEIR WORK
SKty-First Congress Meets in
 Regular Session.
BRILLIANT THRoNG PRESENT
House Greets Speaker Cannon with Great AppIause-Many "Taft Pol icy" Bills introduced in Bot..
 Chambers.
By EDWARD 3. CLARK,

Washington, Dec 6-At noon to-day Vice President Sherman in the Senate and Speaker Joseph c. Cannon in the House called to order the Sixty y-first congress of the United States for it's first regular session Really the first session of this congress was the extra ordinary one of last spring called to revise the tariff.
 Some interest was lacking in the proceedings of the first day in the cap- ltol because al the beginning of the extraordinary session in March last the speaker of the House was elected. Moreover, before the extraordinary session was ended, Speaker Cannon appointed all the committees which are to take legislation under consid- eratlOn for the next two winters. The appointment of the committees ended the campaign on the part of the mem- bers for choice chairmanships and, if the chairmanships were not forthcom- ing, for seats in the more important subsidiary bodies of the House
 Ready for Work at Once.
 The members have had time to get over jealousies and rivalries and so it is that, so far as committee work is con- cerned, the House not only is ready to proceed at once to consider legisla- tion, but most of the mem bers have brought themselves into frame of mind to do what they are called upon to do without regard to their past feel ings of disappointment and perhaps, anger.
 As is always the case on the open ing, day of congress, admission to the House and Senate galleries was by card and only those fortunate enough to know senators and representatives sufficiently well to secure admission tickets were allowed to witness the proceedings.
 Galleries Are Crowded.
 The galleries of both House and Senate were damned with people. All classes of Washington society were represented in the throng of visitors The diplomatic gallery in the House and in the Senate as well, was filled to its fullest capacity with ambassa- dors, ministers, attaches and the la dies of the different legations. Mem bers of the families of the president and of the vice-president of the United States occupied seats in the executive galleries, and the cabinet and judici- ary and army and navy circles were well represented
 By a rule which was adopted not long ago, flowers are barred from the floor of the House excepting when they are to be used as a tribute to the memory to some deceased mem-

HE HAD HIS TROUBLES, TOO
Physical lnsrmity Alone Prevented Man Joining His Companions
 in Misfortune.

It was married mans night at the revival meeting.
 Let all you husbands who have troubles on your minds stand up!' shouted the emotional preacher at the height of his spasm
 Instantly every man in the church rose to his feet except one
 "Ah!" exclaimed the preacher, peer ing out at this lone sitter, who occu- pied a chair near the door and apart from the others. You are one in a million"
 It aint that" piped back this one helplessly, as the rest of the congre- gation turned to gaze suspiciously at him. T can't get up; I'm paralyzed" "

Astonished the Company.

A famous dean was once at dinner when, just as the cloth was removed, the subject of discourse happened to be that of extraordinary mortality among lawyers. We have lost" said a gentleman, not less than six emi- nent barristers in as many months. The dean, who was quite deaf, rose as his friend finished his remarks, and gave the company grace-"For this and every other mercy, make us truly thankful"

WORTH KNOWING.
Simple Remedy That Anyone Can Pre-
 pare at Home.

Most people are more or less sub- ject to coughs and colds. A simple remedy that will break up a cold quickly and cure any cough that is curable is made by mixing two ounces of Glycerine, half-ounee of Virgin Oil of Pine compound pure and eight ounces of pure Whisky. You can get these in any good drug store and cas- fly mix them in large bottle. The mixture is highly recommended by the Leach Chemical Co., of Cincinnati, who prepare the genuine Virgin Oil of Pine compound pure for dispensing.

An Easy Duty.

'The late Gov Johnson was a witty as well as wise man." said a resi- dent of Minneapolis.
 Once. at dinner, New York mil licnaire said about his taxes:
 I've got little piece of property that brings me in fair rental, and the tax-gatherers haven't spotted it yet. I don't know whether I ought to tell them or not What would you do, Gov. Johnson?'
 The governors eyes twinkled. It's the duty of every man he said to live unspotted Still, if I were you I'd Lay up."

house was present and that congress was ready to receive any communica- tion that he may be pleased to make" On receipt of this message from the senate, Speaker Cannon ap- pointed a committee to join a like committee of the Senate to wait upon the president The members of the body directed to notify Mir Taft that the House was in session were by the appointment of the speaker, the Re publican leader, Serene E. Payne, and the Democratic leader, Champ Clark
 The first day in the House as usual brought out hundreds of legislative measures in bill form, all of which were read by their title only and re- ferred to the proper committees. It was evident from the tone of the bills introduced that some scores of repre- sentatives were anxious to father measures which had been recommend ed by President Taft as being neces. sary to carry out proposed policies oH progression. The bills ranged from those intended to correct alleged ex- isting evils in interstate commerce to those to give increases of pensions to veterans of the civil war
 Applause Greets Speaker Cannon.
 If Speaker Cannon anticipates any particular trouble with the "Insur- gents" of the House at the coming session, he gave no evidence Of it when he took the chair as presiding
