ROME RULES FOR OLD GLORY
Trouble Over Drapine of Soldier Dead in Catholic Church
 Is Settled

NEW YORK, April 29. The fric- tion that has occasionally risen be tween the Grand Army of the Re public and the authorities of the Catholic church regarding the drap- ing of the American flag over the casket of veteran on the occa- sion of funeral ill Catholic church, has been settled for all time by a decision just received from Rome by Past Commander James J. Rooney of McPherson Doan Post, G. A. R., Brooklyn, granting permission and the decis- ion will at once be promulgated throughout the United States.
 Some time ago a case of the kind alluded to occurred at the funeral of a Catholic at the Church of the Presentation, at Rockaway and St Marks avenue, and Com mander Whitlock of that post re ported the matter to the memorial and executive committee of the G.. A. R. The case was referred to special committee, where Past Commander Rooney was made chair man.
 Past Commander Rooney then ad- vised with the ecclesiastical authori- ties and the decision came ill a letter from Cardinal Rampolla de claring the national flag could be used.

Mir. and Mrs. solomon were in bed. but soon had supper ready. while We fed the dogs. We were exhausted, so stopped until the following night. There was very little crust on the snow.

 Useful Hints.
 Roasted coffee is one of the most powerful disinfectants.
 Water added to sour milk will give better results than adding sweet milk
 A small bag of sulphur kept where there are red ants will quickly dis rerse them.
 To brighten carpets wipe them with warm water into which has been poured few drops of ammonia.
 Rub curtain poles with a piece of cid flannel dipped in kerosene, and the rings will slip more easily.
 Use plenty of soda ill the kitchen sink. It prevents pipes from clog gIne with grease and is very cleans ing.
 Try a sunbath for rheumatism. Try wet towel to the back cf the neck when sleepless. Try swallowing saliva when troubled with sour stomach. Try buttermilk for re- mCvai of freckles, tan and butter nut stains.

RIVER WAS HIGH AT IDITAROD SELF GOVERNMENT FOR P l.

WASHINGTON, April % - Dem ocratic control of the house of representatives where numerous bills and resolutions have been in- troduced this session looking to the withdrawal of the United States from the Philippines, is causing the Philippines to renew the agitation for independence. Manuel l.. Que zon, one of the resident commis- sioners of the Philippines, who is elected by the people and talks as their m nth piece, is now demanding that the United States declare it's position toward the archipelago
 When the United States took possession of the Philippines l3 years ago il was stated to the world that il was doing so to bring the Filipino people 10 hig.ler plane today. II think the time is now ripe 10 bring the fact that our people are ready for self-government be- fore the public of the United States
 The trouble has been that the Philippines have been used by the Americans as an experimenting sta ton. and intoxicated with their ex- periments the Americans lose sight of the real purpose for which they hold the philippine Islands. Not so the Filipinos, who, having at heart their independence, now protest against this drifting of things and demand that their cry for inde- pendence be needed by this govern ment
 There are many reasons why the Filipinos should be free. In the first place the people are ready for it. and can already govern them selves without further intervention by the United States.
 Tn the second place the gov ernment of the United States pledg- ed itself before the world that in governing the Philippine Islands the welfare of the Filipino should be given first consideration. and this, I regret to say, has not been the case.
 The third reason is that the Unit ed States should be relieved of the charge of the Filipinos. The oc- cupatOn of the islands is costing the United States government an enormous amount of money each year, hundreds of millions of dol lars. l should say. The longer the United States retains the Philip pines the greater will be the temp tation for American capital to ex- ploit the islands. The more Ameri- can capital is entrenched in the Philippines the more difficult will it be for the United States to grant Us our independence"

IDlTAROD CITY. May 2. - The non-arrval of boats from Dix eman following the clearing of the river is to be wondered al. unless the ice has jammed somewhere along the
 channel between this city and the lowtr town. The Edna. which got away Thursday morning is due here at any time. and the Little Delta was to have come up immediately after ths breakup.
 Since the ice went out early rlts week. tho rl CT ha& been raiS- ing rapidly un' has iuundatei mos. If WillOW pOin' opp site the city, leaving only a lev cabins above

 the floor of every house in our suburb IL is rep1r, that the
 water was two feet above the high
 est pcini over there, carrying logs straight across the point where
 cabins now stand, II was also very
 near the top of the bank on this side about the 26th of last May.

 comfiture of Willow point dwellers
 cannot be measured in dollars
 The ice took out the Ross X Nestor dock. forced the barge Fox from her moorings and nearly took it away Quick work with the cables was all that saved her, but her progress could not be stopped until she had pushed down stream a
 hundred yards. resulting in the breaking Cf the pipe line of the Cascade laundry, which pipes water from the point. The work of re
 covering it has been a tedious prop osition. The Miller and Slenter dock down on Mill street, went out like house of cards, and the Cleveland dock and warehouse was invaded by water.
 Some of the smaller boats on the opposite side of the river were at | times in some danger but no losses were reported. The launch Cecil l was sunk because the water raised
 rapidly and somebody forgot to
 lock the cockpit or the throttle or | something She was not damaged however.
