CONGRESS ADOPTS
PENSION BILLS
Opposition to Present Form of Leg.
islation in House and SEN
ate Is Overcome.

A determined fight in the Senate yes
terday against private pension Iegisla-
ton was ed by Senator Smith, OF Geor-
gia, and Senator Bryan, Of Florida
Most OF the discussion ragged about one
paragraph in an omnibus private pension
bill which proposed to Increase the pen
sion Of Heber Angel. who was a private
IN the Sixth Michigan Cavalry.
The amount involved was only S4S a
year, as Senator Shively. of Indiana, OBJ
served, but the principle involved runs
through the whole OF private pension
legislation, as Hoke Smith retorted, after
Mr.. Shively had made his observation.
For four hours the battle ragged in the
Senate around the paragraph proposing
n pension to Heber Angel. Senator Hoko
Smith spoke in opposition TO all this
class of legislation and tried to have
the bill amended by the prOViso that no
pension. allowed under the bill should
be paid until after the Commissioner Of
Pensions had investigated each case and
reported that the beneficiary had seen
actual service in war or had incurred
disabilities in the service.
But his amendment was voted down,
and his demands for a roll call were re-
fused
Senator Curtis. Of Kansas, made an
attack on the administration of the Pen
sion Bureau under President Cleveland
at the time when Senator Hoke Smith
was Secretary Of the Interior
To make his protest against pension
legislation more emphatic, the Senator
from Georgia objected to a motion made
by Senator McCumber TO make the pen
sion appropriation bill. the annual budget
for running the Pension Once. the ''un-
finished business" He was voted down
and his demand for a roll call was again
refused.
The hIibuster conducted IN the House
against another omnibus pension bill by
ROddenbery, Of Georgia.
came TO an end yesterday VIXEN the
House passed the bill by a vote Of IA

After filibustering all Friday. Rodden-
berry played his last card yesterday by
making II point OF no quorum. After
this assembled the bill was rushed

PROVISION FOR OLD AGE.
Herald Reader Makes PIcn for the
Government EmpIoyc.

Herald Reader Makes PIcn for the
Government EmpIoyc.
Editor The Washington Herald:
In your issue OF March 4 appeared a
statement Of the comparative salaries
paid to school-teachers in four large
cities OF this country, showing that In
New York City for 1872 days OF active
work the teacher receives a per diem
wage of S9.47 at the maximum salary of
1,SOO; in Cleveland, Ohio. for $50 days
service a per diem Of $50. at a maximum
salary Of $1,000: in ST. Louis, Mo. for
200 days service a per diem Of $780, at
a maximum salary Of $500. and in
Washington for $50 days, at a maximum
salary of $3.50. a per diem OF $50.
This shows that for New York and
Washington, the two cities in which the
cost Of living is excessively high, for
amount Of service rendered the highest
salaries are paid the school-teachers.
II Is interesting to compare these sal
aries with those paid to the government
employees in Washington. Within the
civil service there are paid three grades
Of salaries, which closely approximate
those OF the teachers in the cities men,
tioned-S1.S 500, 81, 100, and s., 900 per annum.
The government clerk is allowed thirty
days annual leave. and in meritorious
cases thirty days sick leave. He Is alb
sent from his desk fifty-two Sundays and
seven holidays a year. Provided he took
all his sick leave. this would leave him
246 days Of active work each year. At
a salary of 1.sO0 this gives him a per
diem wage of E.31: at a salary OF 81, 400,
s5.6s, and at 5000. s4.O6: or a less per
diem in each case than is paid the
teacher.
II we take into consideration the fact
that the government employe very rarely
avails himself OF sick leave, we have
him working more days, and consequent
ly receiving an even less per diem wage
AS a matter OF fact. statistics of the
Treasury Department show that among
the employees there. numbering over
SOOe the average leave. for all causes,
availed OF is only 34.6 days a year.
Nor should II be forgotten that while
he school-teacher is usually unmarried,
The government employe is usually the
head of a dependent family. and that
while these teachers have a retirement
system in force, the government en-
oloye is without provision for his old

Characterizing the District Tubercu-

Salesman's Complaint.
Or. Perkins said that last July he
was called TO treat a travelling salesman n
taken suddenly Ill with pulmonary hem
orrhage, due to tuberculosis. He said
that as the patient had neither money
nor friends in the city. he was COM
PEELED to send him 10 the tuberculosis
Hospital DR.. Perkins said that the pa
tient left the institution within ten days
and made the following statement re-
garding the unsanitary conditions there:
The meat was putrid, the fish taInt-
ed, the eggs of the cold storage, foul
smelling variety. The milk was kept IN
a pitcher in the ice box. where each pa
tient who was physically able went
and helped himself: but while thus en-

Get Rid of Elastic Bands, Springs, and
Leg straps. Such Harness Has
Forced Thousands to Undergo
Dangerous Operations.

Trusses like those shown above-the
belt and leg-strap, elastic, and spring
contraptions sold by drug stores,
surgical supply houses and many self
styled Hernia Specialists"-make life
miserable for everybody who wears
them.
And-even when drawn so tight you
can scarcely stand to keep them on
they do no good whatever.
Instead. they often do immense harm
they squeeze the rupture, often caus-
ing strangulation-dig into the pelvic
bone in front-press against the sensi-
tive spinal column at the back.
The Plain Truth Il This.
Rupture-as explained in our free
book-can't be relieved or cured-can't
even be kept from growing worse
unless constantly held in place. Just
as a broken bone can't knit unless
the parts are held securely together.
And-just as a bandage or splint is
the only way a broken bone can be
held-the right kind OF truss is the
only thing in the world that can keep
a rupture from coming out
What a difference 1t will make when
YOU get that kind OF truss.
And you can get exactly that kind of
risking cent of your
money.
It's the famous Cluthe Truss or
Cluthe Automatic Massager.
Far more than a truss-far more
than merely a device for holding the
rupture in place.
