FOR L 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-
Gus 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.

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 l 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 him
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 l found a remedy
in Cuticura Soap and Cuticura ONT
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.

Of NATION
BEGIN THEIR WORK
Sixty-First Congress Meets in
Regular Session.
BRILLIANT THR0NG PRESENT
House Greets Speaker Cannon with
Great Apptause-Many taft Pol.
Icy" Bills introduced in Both
Chambers.
BY EDWARD 3, CLARK,

Washington, Dec. 6.-At noon to-day
Vice President Sherman in the Senate
and Speaker Joseph U. Cannon in the
House called to order the Sixty-irst
congress of the United States for it's
first regular session.. Really the first
session Of this congress was the extra.
ordinary n of last spring called to
revise the tariff.
Some interest was lacking in the
proceedings of the first day in the cap
itol because at 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-
GRAFTON for the next two winters. The
appointment of the committees ended
the campaign on the part of the men,
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 ard 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.
ton, but most of the members have
brought themselves into a 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 we'll to secure admission
tickets were allowed to witness the
proceedings.
Galleries Are Crowded.
!. 5 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 we'll, was filled
to its fullest capacity with ambassa.
doris. ministers, attaches and the la
dies of the different legations. Mem
bers of the. families Of the president
and of the v~ice-president of the United
States occupied seats in the executive
galleries, and the cabinet and judici-
airy and army and navy circles were
we'll represented.
By a rule which was adopted not

Curious Trees.

Among the curiosities of tree life IL
the solar, or whistling tree, of Nubia.
When the winds blow over this tree
1t gives out tiutelike sounds, playing
away to the wilderness for hours at a
time strange, weird melodies. 1t is the
spirit of the dead singing among the
branches, the natives say. but the sci.
entific white man says that the sounds
are due to a myriad of small holes
which an insect bores in the spines
of the branches. The weeping tree of
the Canary islands is another boreal
freak. This tree in the dryest wealth.
er will rain down showers from its
leaves, and the natives gather up the
water from the pool formed at the foot
of the trunk and find it pure and
fresh. The tree exudes the water from
innumerable pores at the base Of the
leaves.

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.
airy 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 tho
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 a 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 com
mittees be appointed to inform the
House and the president that the Sen.
ate had assembled and vas 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 a
hand in forwarding administration pol.
icies.
After a comparative short session
''in the open," the galleries were
cleared and the Senate went into ex.
ecutive session behind closed doors
for the purpose. of considering nomina.
tons for Office sent to the Upper
House by President Taft.
The herald-advance. (Milbank, S.D.) 1890-1922, 1909-12-10

Der. The result of this rule IL 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 Conservatives for the time of
the opening proceedings.
At sharp noon Speaker Cannon
called the House to order and asked
she chaplain, Rev. Henry N. Couden,
to offer prayer. In his prayer which
was in a a Thanksgiving offer
ing, the chaplain referred to the pros
perity Of the country, the opportuni-
ties of the present and the bright
hopes and promises of the future.
Absentees Are Few.
As soon as the prayer was ended
the clerk of the House called the roll
of membership by states and it was
found that there we're only a few alb
sentees. The roll call ended the read
ing clerk Of the Senate who had ap-
peared in the House was recognized,
and he announced that the Upper
House had passed a resolution to in.

house was present and that congress
was ready to receive any communica-
ton 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 Mr.. 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 Of
progression. The bills ranged from
those intended to correct alleged ex.
listing evils in interstate commerce to
those to give increases of pensions to
veterans Of the civil war.

The liberal and rapid disposition of
the public lands under these statutes
and the lax methods of administration
which for a long time prevailed nat.
