MILLIONS OF FOLKS
USE ONLY CASCARETS.
They Never Have Headache, Bill
iousness, Sluggish Liver or /
Bowels or a Sick, Sour
Stomach.

No odds how bad your liver, stom-
ach or bowels; how much your head
aches, how miserable and uncomfort-
able you are from constipation, indi-
gestion, biliousness and sluggish in
testines-you always get the desired
results with Cascarets and quickly,
too.
Don't let your stomach. liver and
bowels make you miserable another
moment; put an end to the headache.
biliousness, Dizziness, nervousness,
sick, sour, gassy stomach, backache
and all other distressa cleanse your
inside organs of all the poison and
effete matter which is producing the
misery.
Take Cascaret now; don't wait
until bedtime. In all the world there
lis no remedy like this. A Io-cent box
means health, happiness and clear
head for months. No more days oil
gloom and distress if you will take a
Cascaret now and then. All drug
gists sell Cascarets. Don't forget the
children-their little insides need Z
|good, gentle cleansing, too.

MARYLAND LEGISLATURE
PASSES THE BALLOT BILL
By Strict Party Vote, Democrats
Supporting, Wilson Measure
Goes Through House.

ANNAPOLIS, Nd, January 9.-By a
strict party vote. the democratic ma
jority supporting and the republican mi
nority opposing. the revised Wilson ballot
bill. which had already passed the senate,
passed the house and will be signed today
by Gov. Crothers.
No amendments were offered by
either democrats or republicans in the
house. Prior to the opening Of the SEES
sion the republicans held conference, at
which they agreed not to submit amend
ments unless the democrats took the in
itiative in this direction. They had gone
as far as they were convinced they could
go Saturday when they offered the Re
form League bill as a substitute. which
substitute was defeated. The fact was ap-
parent that the democrats would stand to-
gether. as they stood together last week,
and hence the hopelessness OF the strug-
gle of the minority.
The republicans did not submit without
a struggle to the defeat which stared
them in the face. AS soon as the bill
came up for a third reading and final
passage Mr.. Pairo OF the city delegation
moved that the bill be indefinitely post
poned. Speaker Trippe permitted q lib
eral expression Of views by both repub-
leans and democrats on Mr.. Pair0's mo,
ton before 1t was submitted and voted
down, thus paving the way for the pas
sage OF the bill.

RETRIAL IN DAMAGE SUIT.
Court Of Appeals Reverses Decision
in Gas Company Case.

The Court of Appeals of the District Of
Columbia has, in an opinion by Mr..
Justice Robb. reversed the judgment Of
the District Supreme Court which was in
favor Of the Washington Gas Light Com
pany in two suits for 5000 damages,
each brought by Anna A. Amman and her
husband, Emil Axman, for damages for
an alleged assault on the wife by en-
ployes Of the company.
In instructing the jury the lower court
held that the company was not respon-
sible for the actions Of its agents unless
the actions were known to it or ap-
proved by it. The jury found Tor the
company. In holding this instruction to
have been in error, the appellate court
maintains the true measure OF RESPONSE
bility Of the principal Is whether the ac-
ton Of the agent is done within the scope
OF his employment, implied or expressed.
The cases are remanded with instruc-
lions to proceed in confOrmance with the
opinion OF the upper court. This will
probably mean q new trial OF the suits.
Attorneys F. L. Neubeck and Charles
Poe represent the plaintiffs. who charged
an assault which consisted. 1t was al
legged, in one Of the company's agents
forcing his way through window OF her
house and pushing her into q chair when
she attempted to stop him.

Willing to Right Wrongs.

III things of any sort are going wrong
every officer in the service, on behalf Of
his own reputation, is the most concern
ed in rghting them, and no man who is
doing his duty can have anything to fear
from any kind Of an investigation. While
some Of the reservations are what might
still be technically called closed reserva-
tons. prefer to handle them all as open
propositions. The day has gone by, even
il it were still desirable. which do not
admit, to run them from closed admin
istrative point of view. on the theory that
too many cooks spoil the BROTH They
must be run today, and I am glad that il
is SO, in the light of critical publicity, and
the Indians. however incompetent, must,
like the rest of us. to some extent, run
their risks from interested or dishonest
advisers and learn for themselves to
choose sound counsel. lie number OF
people now settling around all the reser-
vations, and even on most OF them,
makes this course inevitable.
1.-THE fact that this is SO makes the
work OF every superintendent a vastly
difficult one. While he must listen to all
and suppress nothing, it is still his duty
to act as he thinks right, only. Of course,
being careful to see that his reasons are
clearly stated for the public to consider.
If any superintendent feels that this Is
too diff1cult task he should be some
what comforted by the fact that the COM
missioner has even more Of such difficult
ties to encounter"

Invites Publicity.

Discussing the general policy of hts adj
ministration, the commissioner says:
"A policy which have pursued unde-
viatingly since my first day as commits
sioner of Indian affairs is to welcome
without reserve in the Indian Office and
throughout the field proper publicity.
1.-THE Indian Office, like all other human
organizations. has its faults makes even
serious mistakes, and sometimes does
things wrong. Furthermore, positive in
jury has come to the Indian service from
not enough free and general discussion of
Indian policies.
Indian affairs are. even uhder the best
possible administration, peculiarly field
for the CRATER and all other wrongdoers
The lands and the moneys of the Indians
offer a bait which the most satiated fish
local community will get on the wrong
track toward the Indians. / have heard
genuinely respectable members Of a COM
munity say that the best thing that could
happen to the Indian was to lose all his
lands and all his money and have to go
to work; they say this notwithstanding
the fact that by such a time the Indian
would have no physique left, for drink
and disease are allies Of those who seek
to prey upon him.
ITO Offset all this, not only publicity as
to Indian affairs, but the freest discuss
sion of all divergent views with regard
to them is essential. have felt it dis
unct loss to my administration that many

COAST SURVEY WORK
Annual Report Of Supt. Tit
mann.
LARGER FORCE NEEDED
Increasing Volume Of Operations
and Growing Demand for
Practical Results.

The recent great development Of motor
boating, the largely increased size and
draft Of merchant and war vessels. the
natural changes in the bars and shoals,
the newly discovered rocks, the artificial
Improvement OF channels and harbors of
the coasts, the exacting demands Of mod
ern navigation arising from traffic expan-
sion, and the safeguarding of human lives
and property are interesting topics dis
cussed in the report for the fiscal yeaar
ended June 30, 1911, which Supt. o. H
Tfttmann Of the coast and geodetic survey
has transmitted to Secretary Nagel OF the
Department Of Commerce and Labor for
submission to Congress.
New Work Of the Wire Drag.
There are perils existing at depths to
which the older and lighter-draft vessels
paid no heed in former days. A lead line
may easily miss q pinnacle rock. which
twenty-five feet below the surface may
end the existence Of million-dollar-
battleship. The report shows that as an
auxiliary to the lead the ocean bottom
is swept by channel sweeps and wire
drags, as they are called, the latter appl-
ance consisting of q horizontal wire
which, supported by suitable buoys and
set at any depth, Is dragged over the area
to be examined. improvements have been
made in the mechanical appliances used
in connection with the drag, permitting
an increase in the length to any desired
extent, and enabling larger area to be
covered in less time than heretofore. I'm

Effects Of the Drug.


Discussing the problem, Mr.. Valentine
says:
''The Office has been gathering informa-
ton from every available source concern
ing the effect Of the peyote bean, but still
experiences some difficulty in getting
complete information. Nevertheless, the
Information now at hand concerning the
physiological and sociological results of
the use of this drug is such that the Of
nee Will in every way practicable prevent
the Indians from INDUCING in it fur-.Aer.
Inc physiological and toxic action OF
peyote places it in the same general
class with opium, cocaine, Indian hemp
and Choral hydrate. The alkaloids in
peyote act upon the central nervous sys-
tenn This action, If repeated, unquestion-
ably results in a fixed habit. The normal
functions Of the human body cannot be
interfered with at frequent intervals by
Sucn an agent as peyOte without serious
INJURY resulting. AS used by the Indians
peyote Is always taken in very considera-
bic quantities, invariably sufficient to pro-
duce drug intoxication.
Even II the physiological effects of this
drug were not serious. its use would have
to be prohibited for the same sociological
reasons as have led the government
strongly but tactfully to modify Indian
dances. AS is we'll known. exercises
which the Indians consider of religious
nature are made the occasion of taking
the drug. These meetings are held as
often as once week and invariably last
throughout the night. The time occupied
in going to these meetings, thedemoraliz-
ing effects Of all-night seances, and con-
sequent nervous languor and exhaustion,
very considerably encroach upon the time
that should normally be devoted to work.
Furthermore, the effects Of the drug in
making the Indian contented with his
present attachments seriously interfere
with his progress by cutting off from him
the possibility Of healthful aspiration

is also conducting. 1t is regrettable that

interest side, the perils and adventures.
