DO the right thing ifyou have Nasal
Catarrh. Get Ely's Cream Balm at once.
Don't touch the catarrh powders and
snuffs, for they contain cocaine. Ely's
Cream Balm releases the secretions that
infanc the nasal passages and the throat
whereas medicines made with mercury
merely dry up the secretions and leave
you no better than you we're. In word,
Ely's Cream Balm is real remedy, not
a delusion. All druggists, 50 cents, or

The Campfire Girls.

From the Baltimore American.
A sane proposition is that for the ma
tional organization Of girls into body to
be called the Campfire Girls. an organ
ization correlative to that of the Boy
Scouts of America. The girls cannot be
expected to hit the trail and raise the
warwhoop, to make birchbark canoes and
start signal fires on every hillock. They
cannot be expected to become crack. shots
with the rifle or do lots OF things that
the Boy Scouts undertake to do for ply
steal exercise and the training of their
nerves along with the general letting Oft
Of the steam that is pent up in the vital
ity of boys. Nevertheless, the girls in
their organization could be furnished
with forms of recreation and pleasurable
employment. with lots of open-air fea-
lures that would make the society one of
great popularity. 1t must be conceded
that the high school strain upon the girls
is becoming increasingly tense and they
need for their vacations something that
shall bring them together with a fellow
feeling Even more the girls who go out
to employment, factories and stores, and
lead the confined life that modern con-
ditions require, should be provided with
an organization that would call forth the
buoyancy latent in their natures and give
them wholesome and natural likings and
exercise.

Berger to Learn Washington.

1t is a good resolve made by Representa-
tive Berger. the socialist member Of the
House Of Representatives and a member
OF the House District committee, that he
will learn Washington by first hand by
visiting all parts of the city. This will
be productive of many valuable object
lessons. Washington is big town. The
man who knows no more Of Washington
than can be learned around the Capitol
and in the hotel Hobbies Is apt to get a
one-sided view Of the town and it's peo-
pie. The great mass of Washington's
people never go to the Capitol and never
loiter around hotel Hobbies. Those who
do are often professional Washingtonians
or aliens, who. though they may have slept
and eaten in Washington for many years,
have meyer caught the real Washington
spirit outside OF the Capitol and hotel

districts Washington is home-lovlnG
and housekeeping town AS In most
other cities, the home man and his wife
are interested in great questions gem
orally, but interested specifically In neigh
borhood questions.
Mr.. Berger If he gets a correct under
standing of the real Washington that OLD
observation-disclosures know. will be doing
good service to the people Of the capital
to his particular constituents and to the
country, The idea Of doing washington
at close range Is to be commended to
all other members Of Congress.
The older members Of the District COM
mittee probably know their washington
we'll, having been closely associated with
affairs Of the District. 1t is q good thing
when a member of Congress looks around
his distrtean mixes with his constit'
uents. LIS good both for the congress
man and The constituents.

arguments offered which under the fire
Of debate would not have lived a minute.
The gentleman from Kansas Is not a
pioneer in this, and may not have better
luck than those who have gone before,
but he is right The Record should be
a record. and give the facts. II speech

that fact should appear when the speech

ceived with applause or CHEERS" or

ficient warrant.
The Congressional Record is. often the
subject of jest. One might suppose its
readers confined to official circles in this
town interested in keeping track of Leg
slation. But that is far from the truth.
The publication has a wide circulation.
1t goes, of course, into the Office of every
important newspaper in the country. AS
business is so much under the congress
sional eye these days. all big business es-
Establishments take copies. Lawyers with
corporations for clients read it with care
And railroad presidents and managers
find it to their profit to know what is
being said and done in Congress. More
than ever, therefore. is it proper that
the Record should be what it purports
to be.
And, in the, main, it is an interesting
publication. 1t may not take high rank
for wit, but wit is not its object. Con-
gressional repartee is seldom of the best

The inspiration is less. Realizing that he
is there on serious errand, and that
serious men confront him. he tries to
hold to a serious strain. and either re-
jects, or but poorly improves, any chance

But the serious matter in the Record is
worth the attention of every man who
cares for the business of the country in
It's relation to national legislation and
for the growth of the country. He finds
in it's columns what it takes to run the
government. and how the money is spent
He can take the measure OF public men

Of questions of national policies and I'M
provements. And in reading it he enjoys
the high constitutional privilege he exer-
cises in handling other publications. What
he does not like he can skip.
Mr.. Murdoch has a good cause in hand.
and should carry it to success If pos
sible. A thoroughly reliable Record would
do justice to Congress, and no injustice to
any member.

Leader Mann has arranged to lead.
That is to say, he has not charged him
self with any other duty. He is free to
give his whole attention to the general
condition Of House affairs, and make his
calculations as to what is best for the
minority to do from time to time. Pre-
surnably he will be followed. Regulars
and insurgents seem alike satisfied with
their committee assignments, and should
work together fer the good Of all.
MIR. Mann found 1t easy to adopt this
course. The right men were available for
assignment to the most important COM
mittees. and were SO assigned. Mr.. Can
non will be at home on appropriations.
where. before his promotion to the speak
ership, he served many years, part Of the
time as chairman. For more than twenty
years Mr.. Payne has been member Of
ways and means, part of the time as
chairman. And on rules Mr.. Dalzell will
be in his element. He will know the
meaning of every proposition of the ma
jority, and be able to explain it without
assistance from his side.
Left free thus to supervise things in
general, Mr.. Mann can improve every
chance that presents itself for scoring
against the majority. He will be always
ION the job without distraction as to
committee details except as reported to
him by his lieutenants charged with at
tending to them.
The majority leader will not be so for
tunate. Mr.. Underwood is charged with
many details. AS chairman of ways and
means he must carry along the tariff
question at the same time he is maneu-
vering for parliamentary points and ad-
vantages. His eye will be kept in fine
frenzy rolling. He will often be remind
ed of his youthful experience In trying to
follow the details of a three-ring circus.
At such an entertainment a good act
now and them escapes even the most
alert youngster. Mr.. Underwood is not
deficient in acumen or industry, but will
be carrying more weight than Mr.. Mann.
and on that account may occasionally get
the worst of an encounter.
In this day of new things this new
thing of Mr.. Mann's will be worth watch
ing for its results. If there is anything
in it he should be able to develop it, He
has conceived it. and. as its creator. will
be at pains to make it profitable for his
party-make it bring forth all 1t may con-
tain. And If 1t justifes itself 1t may be-
come fixed congressional feature. In
future there may be both majority and
a minority general-in-chief. serving with
out committee distractions. and occupied
solely with general maneuverings for
party advantage. The idea upon it's face
looks good. In war the commander who
plans a battle rarely carries out any de-
TAIL but assigns his lieutenants with care
and supports them with suggestions when
they apply. Why should not the same
policy produce we'll when employed in
the congressional field, and worked out
there according to the conditions?

The parent and teacher idea is taking
