 'I don't think that is a fair state ment," said Palmer. There was no subterfuge; there was nothing under hand. No one was deceived. All was open and above board"
 ''I want to find out about this" said Senator Cummins. "It is a rather seri- ous matter to forge signature of the secretary of the senate to an order that never was made"
 The committee finally dropped the question with the expressed determi- nation to pursue 1t further and inves- tigate books and records of every sort to get the information they seek Sen, ator Lodge will be heard in explana- tion if he desires to appear.
 Palmer became indignant before he left the stand at Senator Reeds ef, forts to find out everything done by the beet men in Washington.

Harrsonville, Mo-, June 14.-Follow ing her signed confession that she had beaten her husband and 7-year-old daughter to death with an ax, Mrs. Ar thur Kellar is held in jail here with out bail, in state of collapse Her mind was relieved somewhat by the confession, but she still is under a SC were mental strain.
 The confession brought to a quick termination the coroner's inquest that had been in session two days in an at. tempt to place the responsibility for the murder. The jury at once retired and brought in a verdict holding the woman for the murder.
 God knows I would not have killed them had l known what I was doing" Mrs. Kellar said in her confession. She declared she had frequently been ire sponsible for her acts since she re- ceived blow on the head two years ago.

MILITARY RULE AT AN END
WEST VIRGINIA GOVERNOR DE.
 CLARES MARTIAL LAW OFF.
United States Senate Investigators Divide Mine Strike Work to
 Hasten Close of Case.

Charleston, w. Va, June 14.-De- termined on a speedy termination of it's investigation of the West Virginia coal strike, the United States senate subcommittee planned to divide the inquiry into at least two parts.
 While the bulk of the committee took testimony as to general condi- tions in the strike zone, Senator Bo- rah planned to conclude his portion Of the investigation into the charges that citizens had been tried and con- victed in violation of the constitution and laws" by the examination of for. mer Gov. William E. Glasscock
 In the strike district conditions re- turned to normal legally, following the proclamation of Gov Henry D. Hatfield, ending martial law and with drawing the few soldiers left in the field.
 With only comparatively few of the strikers still in the strike zone, Paint Creek and Cabin Creek were as quiet and orderly as before the strike be- gan and the civil authorities were again In charge of affairs.
 The proposition of dividing the in- quiry and allowing the senators in charge of the various divisions of the investigation to proceed individually to examine witnesses, encountered strong opposition from the attorneys representing the mine operators, who took the position that they could not maintain their cases before more than one committee at time. Their ob- jections met with little encourage ment from the committee.
 Gov. Hatfield's letter declining to furnish the committee with the rec ords of cases tried before the last military commission was discussed by the committee and, though no formal action was taken, the committee was practically agreed that no further ac. tion should be taken toward demand ing that the governor produce the rec ords. Gov. Hatfield's refusal was based on the ground that all of the persons tried and recommended to him for sentence had been released, and that he wanted the evidence to use in civil prosecutions.

was inspired by the Federal Sugar Re
 fining company, and which was an argument in behalf of free sugar, also
 had been printed as a public docu-
 ment and circulated under the frank
 ing privileges, He did not say, nor
 did the committee ask, whose frank
 was so used
 Much time was spent by the com
 mittee in trying to find out all the de-
 tails of how Sugar at Glance" came to be printed as public document Although Palmer was grilled for three
 hours, when he left the stand com mitteemen said they were about as
 much in the dark as they were when the pamphlet first was mentioned. Palmer said that when Senator Lodge made a speech on sugar in
 July, 1912. the charts subsequently, used in the pamphlet were on the walls of the senate chamber. Senator Lodge got the permission of the sen ate to have them printed as public document. Accompanying these charts, Palmer declared, were certain printed sheets containing sugar in formation. After the charts had been
 sent to the government printing of flee, and proofs in black and white
 had been made of them, he had dis covered that they were not suitable for publication. He therefore had
 sent them to a private printing con- cern and had them prepared in fash ion he thought suitable. This, he maintained, was done with the knowl- edge of Senator Lodge, and he con- sidered that he was acting for the
 senator in the matter.
 Members of the committee ex- pressed surprise that anyone should Tn any way change something author ized to be printed by the senate. They
 developed that the permission was ob- tained by Senator Lodge for printing
 on July 27 and that one of several is- sues of Sugar at Glance" referred to an order of the senate on August 1 in the same matter.
 Order Not Shown on Record. The second order referred to data prepared by Truman G. Palmer, and purported to be signed by Charles c.
 Bennett, then secretary of the senate
 Palmer said he supposed the order had been made, and that he got it in the proofs of the charts from the
 printing office. The Congressional
 Record of August 1, according to Sen ator Simmons, showed no such order, nor did the journal of the senate, nor the files of it's document room.

LITTER NEEDED BY POULTRY
One cf Nest Essential Requirements
Of Chicks, as Ii Promotes Growth
ana Development.
Bv c. c. SHERLOCK

Outside Of feed, grit and water, lit
ter is the most important thing about
the poultry house. It induces exercise.
which is essential to the growth and
development of the chicks. The
poultryman should always be careful
as TO the material he supplies for the
litter. Be sure il is clean and dry
never use musty or moldy litter. It
viii be disastrous Many hens have
been killed in musty litter
The litter should be of material
easily digested, for ii is a well-knoHn
fact that the fowls consume a large
per cent. Of their litter Dry leaves
make a GOOD litter, but cannot be d.
gested Straw is, excellent for the
older fowls, but it is not advisable for
the baby chicks.
Cut clover or cut alfalfa make the
best litter one could provide for the
chicks. 1t is easily digestible, inexpen-
sive, and is easily procured. Sand
makes a good scratch material, but
the little chicks are apt to eat too
much Of il, as they do not have a very
good idea as to what they should eat.
A mixture Of cut clover and sand
sprinkled On the floors Of the brood
ers is hard to beat.
Never allow the litter to become
damp. Dampness is the greatest
enemy Of chicks. Removed it every day
and oftener if the weather is very
damp.

Nothing ages anyone more quickly than
weak kidneys.
It is not alone the aching back, the stiff,
painful joints, but the evil effect OF bad,
poisoned blood on the nerves, the vital
organs and the digestion.
The condition of the kidneys makes good
health or ill-health.
The kidneys are the filters OF the blood.
Active kidneys filter from the blood ev-
cry day over one ounce of poisonous waste
and pass it off dissolved in the urine.
If the kidneys are weak or diseased. only
part of this hltering Is done and the blood
is heavy with uric acid and other poison
Gus or waste matter.
Instead OF being nourished by the
blood. the nerves and vital organs are IL
ritated. and the circulation. digestion, ETC.,
are disturbed.
If your back aches constantly, if your
joints are stiff, lame and painful, suspect
the kidneys
Kidney sufferers are likely to feel dull,
heavy, restless at night, rheumatic. dizzy
at times, subject to headaches and an

make work an agony and rest impossible.
Doan's Kidney Pills are the best-recom-
mended and most widely used remedy for

conditions and hens were as much
alike as possible to make the test a
conclusive one.
The pen with fifteen hens made a
profit of 80 cents per hen, and the
eggs laid numbered SIC.
The pen with twenty hens made a
showing of 1,20S eggs for the pen and
a profit of II cents per hen.
The pen with twenty-five hens made
a laying record of 1928 eggs and a
profit Of 35 cents per hen
The pen with thirty hens had an egg
production of 1900 and profit of 80
cents for ecah hen.
The experiment shows distinctly
that hens can be SO crowded as to re-
duce the profit of an egg farm. The
difference of twenty-five eggs per
hen for six months is great. On the
basis of fifteen to the pen the profits
of the total ninety hens were s72; on
a basis of thirty to the pen the profits
were $50 In each case the actual cost
of feed was deducted.
