CAN'T EMPTY THE

was so low with kidney disease that
for almost daily.
The treatment was changed. He be-
gan mend. His partner phoned the
doctor he was slightly better. The
doctor replied, 1T makes no difference
1t is as impossible for him to recover
as it is to empty the ocean,
The progress was so slow that the
patient would get discouraged and
read our book for a bracer. He says
ne thinks he read it hundred times
But the day he finished the third doz-

what his physician thinks about EN-
plying the ocean.

There are women who take a full day
to do the weekly wash when it can be done
in half the time and far better.

Twelve ballots ins all have been taken in the joint assembly since li was first called to order at noon we'd nesday. There have been changes land fluctuations of more or less irnportance from one candidate to another through out the ballotins. but no definite result looking to the final breaking of the Senatorial deadlock, or the naming of a successor to Albert J.

 In measure the bars have been let down, as is shown by the increase in the number of candidates from five on the first ballot to ten on the twelfth ballot.
 Twenty two of Judge Lawrence Y. Sherman's friends are reported to have agreed to cast their votes for him on one of the ballots today and were only restrained in their enthusiasm by Sherman's personal request to not vote for him.

DECLINES TO APPEAR
IR. BONAPARTE TURNS DOWN
 COMMITTEES INVITATION.
Att0rney-Genernl Was Invited t0 Ex- pIaiH Merger of Tennessee Coal and Iron Company and
 steel Corporation.

washington, Jan.. 21.--A highly de- veloped order of unctuous courtesy is being maintained between the Senate Committee on Judiciary and Attorney General .Honaparte over the question whether the. Attorney General will or will not appear before the committee to explain the merger Of the Tennessee Coal and Iron Company and the United States Steel Corporation.
 When the sub -cofnmiktae having this In charge met today, Sem ator Clark of Wyoming. the chairman, Submitted q letter when he feaeiye1
 es'ssaay Iron aar s,onapssaes aee,l.. pear today for the reason Shat he had an engagement in the Supreme Court. The committee considered the letter and thkh soIofnnly agreed not to make the letter or its substance public. The committee also declined to authorize Mir. Bonaparte to publish the letter, even after he had Expressed a willing ness to do so, although the committee decided that it had no objection to the Attorney General giving it out if he de- sired to do so upon his own author |ity.
 Chairman Clark explained thet the invitation was not 4n the form of a subpoena. but in spite of this precau- tion, the impression prevails that 1t was so worded that 1t would be dit- ficult for Mir. Bonaparte to interpret 1t differently than a polite summons.
 While members Of the sub-comnait- tee unanimously say that Mr. Bona parte's reply was the embodiment of courtesy, it Is evident that 1t coa- tained some expression or ignored some suggestion from the committee that has not tended to Increase the cordial relations between the com mittee and the Department of Jus tice. The fact that the committee has seen fit. to make a mystery of the cor respondence, probably has exaggerated its importance, but at the same time, it has made 1t manifest that the. com- mittee will not receive any aid from the White House or from the Depart ment of Justice in the pursuing of it's inquiries, -.
