4 Christmas Carol.

Without the drifting SHOWS lie deep,
And winter winds r drear;.
The stars their quiet vigil keep
Above the dying. $685..
Within the flaming logs are piled
Ablaze with cherry glow;
Forgot the tempest fierce and wild,
The winters fee and snow.
And there around that ruddy blaze,
The happy voices sing
In notes Of gratitude and praise,
Acarol to their King.
A carol from that joyous band,
To celebrate the birth
OF Him who showers with bounteous hanC
Good will and peace on earth.
And so may kindly love abound,
All strife and turmoil 6ease;
Through every land let songs resound
OF gladness Joy and peace.

Policies Are INTRODUCED in Both Houses
BY EDWARD 9. CLARK.

from the Senate, Speaker Cannon ap-
pointed committee to join 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 bin form, all of which
were read by their title only and then
referred to the proper committees. 1t
was evident from the tone of the bills
introduced that some scores of rep
resentatives 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.

May Paste Million Posters.

Artists, billposters, printers, paper
manufacturers and tuberculosis fight.
ers are all united in a gigantic crusade
against tuberculosis which is about to
be started under the direction of the
National Association for the Study
and Prevention of tuberculosis. In
addition to the gifts of free space on
billboards and free printing of posters
made by the Associated Billposters
and Distributors of America and the
Poster Printers Association, several
hundred paper manufacturers have
given paper for the posters to the
value Of several thousand dollars, and
artists from all over the United States
are contributing sketches for posters,
free of charge. The local, state and
national anti-tuberculosis associations
will see that the posters are placed
in cities and towns where they are
most needed.
The posters are nine feet long and
seven feet wide and will be printed in
several colors. If sufficient paper Is
procured million will be pasted up.
The value of these various contribu-
tons would reach fully 100000 II

sibly the hand-clapping was given as
an evidence of regard for the Office

speaker himself.
With the committees ready to begin
work, the House will settle down to
its winters business at once. No bills
will be passed Immediately because
all measures must be considered in

Washington, Dec. s.-The Sixty
FIRST congress Of the United States
met at noon to-day for the first day
OF its first regular session, with Vice
President Sherman In the chair OF the
senate, and Speaker Joseph G.. Can
non In the chair In the House. While
this congressional gathering is the
FIRST regular session, II Is the second
session In reality. for congress met In
extraordinary session last spring at
the call Of President Taft to consider
the matter of a revision of the tariff
Some interest was lacking in the
proceedings of the first day in the
capitol because at the beginning of
the extraordinary session In March
last the speaker OF the House was
elected. Moreover, before the extra
ordinary session was ended, Speaker
Cannon appointed all the committees
which are to take legislation under
consideration for the next two win
tiers. The appointment of the commit
tees ended the campaign on the part
OF the members for choice chairman
ships and, IL the chairmanships were
not forthcoming, for seats In the more
important subsidiary bodies of the
Hous.
Ready for Work at Once.
The members have had time to get
over jealousies and rivalries and SO
Is that. so far as committee work is CON
concerned, the House not only is
ready to proceed at once to consider
legislation, but most OF the members
have brought themselves into frame
OF mind to do what they are called
upon to do without regard to their
past feelings 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

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-
airy and army and navy circles were
we'll represented.
BY q rule which was adopted not
long ago, flowers are barred from the
floor OF the House excepting when
they are to be used as tribute to the
memory Of some deceased member.
Tho result of this rule Is that now on
the opening days of congress the
desks Of the members are bare OF
doral decorations. In the old days

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

Most people are more or less sub
1ect to coughs and colds. A simple
remedy that will break up cold
quickly and cure any cough that Is
durable is made by mixing two ounces
OF Glycerine, half-ounce of Virgin
Oil OF Pine compound pure and eight
ounces Of pure Whisky. You can get
these in any good drug store and cas-
lily 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.
