 MEMBERS OF THE HOUSE
BY WALTER HARPER

Washington, April 9.-.(Special.) )-ienry D. Clayton of Alabama, chairman of the judiciary committee of the House of Rep resentatives, will tell you that his job is no snap. It isn't. Anyone can look on for 10 minutes and see that it is not.
 The judiciary committee is one of the busiest hf the organization. While it meets regularly every Tuesday and Thurs day while Congress is in session, sub committees handling some features of bills before the committee meet almost every working day. Sometimes two and three sub committees meet on day. l have seen two in session at the same time in the committee room
 MT. Claytons committee has to pass on tho constitutlonaliiy and legality of most of the bills that are introduced in the House. Sometimes the questions are stu pendous ard require much time, thought and Investigation. Sometimes extended hearings have to te given to get all the fpets and information before the members
 Bills and questions upon which the eom- mittee is asked to pass sometimes congest the business and the committee is unable to report as early as some of the members who introduce bills may desire.
 1t has happened more than once that members have become impatient, and have asked that the committee be discharged fror1 further cons iteration of bill. This Is asked on the floor of the House and carries with 1t the intimation that the committee has ot done it's duty
 Chairman Clayton naturally fights such a motion on the floor, and it is with d

 METHODS
Startling Results Were Quickly Ae- complished-Features Heretofore
 Unknown Are Revealed

The most interesting facts in connection with the introduction of the remarkable new tonic, "Tona Vita' in Birmingham, are the statements of those who have given the medicine fair trial.
 F. S. Saunders, a well known butcher. residing at SIS Fifth avenue, north, said recently: This Tona Vita" is the great est medicine I have ever taken. Its ac- ton in my case was wonderful.
 T think 1 was the most down hearted man in Birmingham, before began tah- ing this tonic. ] so weak that every little bit of work seemed like pig Jop, and l was as nervous as 1 could De. l never got a sound nights sleep, but would toss and roll around in bed all night. When I sat down to a meal I did it more as a habit, as nothing ate was enjoyed Besides, the very thought of eating often made me sick. l was not able to work more than half e -he time.
 About a week ago I talked to one of the representatives at the Collier Drug company and he told me that had nerv- ous debility, and advised me to try a tonic called 'Tona Vita I did so, and can truthfully say it is the best thing that could have happened to me. My ambition has returned and my desire to be active and hustling is noticed by my family. I now sleep all night long and get up in the morning feeling cheer 1ul. l 1OW eIlJOy ny nedlS dilu Stcu to be able to digest them in a way that I have not for long time. | heartily recommend 'Tona Vita 7
 The representatives are at the Collier Drug company, 109-111 North Twentieth street, every day between the hours of g a. m. and D.. m and furnish a free trial treatment of the tonic, if you are in any way afflicted with debility. The sale of this medicine is growing bigger and the representatives say that 'Tona Vita will make the same record here that a similar preparation has made in Europe.
 Enthusiasm continues to prevail general ly where the new product called |'ona Vita" has been used. The great amount of good which seems to have been ac- complished is the cause of considerable excitement by those who have seen it's wonderful work. Case after case of peo- pie who were comparatively nervous wrecks and those who have been suffer- CTS from stomach trouble for years have heen reported and the results of Tona Vifa' were said to have been astonish- ing in nearly every case.
