silly it is to attempt TO cure such an aim ent
unless you take medicine that follows the

At Zeal meetings OF the republican
and democratic senators held today as
arguments to the Senate committees Wer'
definitely agreed upon. The list We
read to the Senate Immediately after i
convened today and was adopted b.
that body. Two entirely new commit
ices of considerable importance bav'
been crested. One is on the consersa
lion of national resources. The othel
is the committee on public expenditures
rbe charmen of the committees on ap-
prisiions, finance, military affairs, naVaI
affairs, postoffices and postroads, Sgr
cultural snd Indian affairs, are ex.officic
members of the committee on public
expenditures and the chairman Of the

acting chairman OF this committee. The
other members are Messrs. Nelson,
