may make appointments by and with

objection is that he even sat with the
Senate and consulted with the Sen
ate as a body regarding executive
lappointments. After years the
number of these appointments in

for the President to consult and adj

that the Senate has as much power

MUNYON'S WORK
TALK OF CITY
Big Success Shown by Number
of Callers.
Local Man Tells San Francisco Head
quarters of Remarkable Relief
From rheumatism.

The apparent success which Profess
Bor James M. Munyon, the world
famous health authority, has been
meeting in San Francisco has started
much discussion. The continuous
stream of callers has kept DR.. Mum
yon's expert representatives busy
every day for several weeks at the
main store of the Owl Drug company,
San Francisco, where he has estab-
lished headquarters for meeting the
people.
Munyon's following seems to be
enormous. Those who believe in his
theories seem to think he possesses the
most marvellous powers for the heal
ing of all sorts of diseases. Munyon,
himsef, laughs at this. He says:
"The hundreds of cures which you
are hearing about every day in San
Francisco are not in any way due to
my personal skill. 1t is my remedies,
which represent the combined brains
of the greatest medical specialists
science has ever known, that is doing
the work. l have paid thousands of
dollars for single formula and the
exclusive right to manufacture it. l
have paid tens of thousands of dollars
for others of my various forms of
treatment. That is why | get such
remarkable results. have simply
bought the best products of the best
brains in the world and placed this
knowledge within the reach of the
general public"
Among Munyon's callers yesterday
were many who were enthusiastic in
their praise of the man. One of these
said: "For six years l suffered from
rheumatism. My arms and legs were
afflicted so badly that l could hardly
work, and could not raise my arm to
my head. The pain was most severe
in the back, however, and l was in
perfect torture. tried in many
ways to get cured, or even to secure
temporary relief, but nothing seemed
to help me until l was persuaded by
friend to try Munyon's Uric Acid
course. 1t was the most marvelously
acting remedy l ever saw, within a
week the pain had most gone and in
side of a month l considered myself
entirely cured. can now go out in
the worst weather-cold, or wet or
anything else, and have not felt any
suspicion of return of the disease.
| think that every person who has
rheumatism and does not take the
Uric Acid course is making a great
mistake"

into his pocket and goes on his way.
Really he wasn't SO particular
about knowing the time himself as de-

and everywhere In Germany there was
hostile feeling against Great Britain;
there had been many and bitter diff
ferences between the courts Of st.
James and the palace at Potsdam. But
the promptness and spontaneity Of
the kaiser's sympathy, the simple dig
pity with which he shared Britian's
mourning effected a sudden change
In English feeling toward him. He
had been regarded in England
with respect for the continually in
creased prosperity of Germany under
bis rule, mingled with some mistrust
Of his possible ambitions. and with
curiosity as the most striking and
enigmatic figure in European politics.
But now English sentiment responded
to the kaiser's action. 1t became
warmer and friendlier; distrust of his
lmpulsive and mercurial nature grad
ually changed into conviction of his
generosity and good feeling, and now
there is none among King Georges

Not even his unique position in Eu-

British royal house account for the
interest taken In England in the kais-

to be dull. No figure in Europe gives

A curious journalist once motored
to a railway crossing some way down

performance of opera in one of the
smaller German capitals. The saloon
was brilliantly lighted. the blinds
drawn up, and there was the emperor
writing at his desk as diligently as
the humblest journalist
1t was typical Of his life. The out.
