con introduced in the senate a reso.
luton declaring that "any and every
public document, paper or record, or
copy thereof, on the files of any de-
partment of the government relating
to any subject whatever over which
congress has any grant of power,
jurisdiction or control under the Con
stitution, and any information rela-
tive thereto within the possession OF
the officers of the department, is sub
ject to the call or inspection of the
senate for its use in the exercise of
It's constitutional powers and juris-
diction."
Taking the floor to speak to his
own resolution Mr.. Bacon said that it

dent, in which he stated had directed
the attorney general not to give in.

United States Steel corporation for
its absorption Of the Tennessee Coal
and Iron company.
Language Not Courteous.
Complaining that the language OF
the president in his Steel corporation
message had not been distinguished
by it's extreme courtesy" Mr.. Bacon
proceeded:
'This is the first time that the de-
NAL of the right of the senate has
ever been made in such unlimited and
emphatic language as that now en-
ployed by the president"
Senator Hale expressed the opinion
that the president had not taken a
square ground upon the right of con-

that right has been questioned and I
hope it never will be-
Mr.. Bacon said that the president
did not stop at questioning the sen

by congress and to the direction of
the president of the United States
"and to no other direction whatever

POINTERS FOR HOUSEWIVES,

To prevent your hands getting red,
rough and wrinkled from washing the
dishes and clothes, the floors or wood
work, sprinkle little Lavadura in the
water. Not only does it benefit the
hands, the water has double the cleans
ing power and cleans everything far
quicker and better.
Put some Lavadura in the tub and
the wooden and flannel clothes will not
shrink, but come out of the wash fresh
sweet and soft-just like new. 1t else
prevents colors fadlng-rather bright.
ems them.
A bath is far more enjoyably refresh
ing and beneficial in water which has
been softened with Lavadura. 1t re.
moves all odors caused by perspiratior
and "sweetens" the skin, making it soft
and smooth instead of irritated and
smarting, as so often follows when 6
bath is taken in ordinary hard water.
In the dairy, Lavadura is unequalled
for washing milk bottles, cans, pans
ETC., removing all odors and hygienic
ally cleansing all utensils.

RURAL DELIVERY,
Washington, D. c., April Is, 1909.

washington, ID. e., April Is, 1909.
The Postmaster In order to expe-
dite the delivery, collection and dis
patch of rural mail, enable rural car
riers to cover their routes with celebrity,
and give the earliest possible service to
patrons residing on the far ends of
routes, the Department will insist that
all rural mail boxes be 80 located as to
be served with the greatest expedition.
You are, therefore, directed to re-
quire each rural carrier at your Office
to submit to you without delay, for
transmission to the Department, the
names of all patrons whose boxes can
not be served without leaving the road j,
dismounting, driving in deep bitches or
on steep inclines, or on or across rail-
way tracks involving danger, or the APP
proaches to whose boxes are obstructed.
1t is not required that boxes shall be
erected beside the wheel tracks, nor in
any particular corner of the cross. roads !;
but they must he erected within the
confines of the road, and accessible on
any corner
It is not desirable that boxes be at
tached to telegraph, telephone, or cleo
trio light poles, or to fences or build
ings, but boxes should be securely fast
ened to neat and strong posts firmly set
at the side of the roads, at sufficient
height to be served by carriers without
rising from their seats or reaching
through wheel spokes.
After boxes have been properly re-
located, and it is practicable to curtail
carriers schedules, postmasters will
advise this Office, 80 that changes in
schedules may be considered
When roads are in bad condition.
postmasters are directed to make re-
port thereof to the Department, and to
the proper local road officials and CO.
operate with them and patrons to the
fullest extent, consistent with position
and duty, to secure the improvement
OF the roads. The manifestation of in
terest and properly directed efforts by
postmasters in the good-roads cues
tion will, in many instances, be pro-
ductive of excellent results.

mense crowd was present.

Veterans and about 900 school children

placed upon the mounds of the "silent
heroes"
Mr. George::H. Sessions was marshal

tribute to the private soldiers. His
eulogy Of the Southern women, their
fidelity and self-sacrif1cing devotion to
the cause, was matchless literary gem
He said the Southern young men should
erect a monument to their memory.

remarks, gave a graphic description Of
