 The movement for farewell diu- ner to the former Speaker was inau3u- rated several wseks ago when a number of Democrats and Republic ans gathered in the office of Mr. Humphreys and started subscription list. The response was immediate and the list of prospective diners ap- preached it became apparent that the attendance would be a genuine tribute to the old Republican warhorse and that 1t would tax capacity of the big dining room in which the banquet was held.
 Joseph G. Cannon, will be seventy eight years old in May, he says he will never seek public office again; that he is going back to Danville to help the young men whose father helped him in former years.' On March 4th next he will have served nineteen terms as a member of the House. He was out for two years-the Fifty second Congress otherwise his tenure of office has been continuous According to the number of years of actual service, "Uncle Joe" stands head high over any other member of Congress. His nearest rival is Sena- tor Shelby M. Cullom, of Illinois, who also retires on March 4th. Senator Collum entered the Senate in 1883 ana has therefore been a member fol thirty years.
 Senator Collum was a guest at the k. Payne, who has been a member o1 the House for 2S years; Representa- tive Dalzell of Pennsylvania, who has served 26 years, and Representative crat i'll point of service on the Demo cratic side of the House, were alst guests.
 Vice Chairman Moore, who had gen. eral charge of the banquet hall ar | engagements, said today that the Can non dinner was without parallel in tht social and political history of Wash ! ington It is approached, perhaps
 only by the dinner of Uncle Joe'' ol his seventy-second birthday, when h'

How Can the People Decide
 Which Medicine is Best?

pl e, just as good medicines of this kind as the medicines that the doc tors prescribe.
 All ourbost remedies have been first found by compound experience. The testimony of one person and an other has spread the news and finilly it's use has become general.
 This is exactly the way Peruna has spread among the people. It has not been advertising that has sold Peruna Sometimes advertising sells the first bottle to person, but after wards it must be the merits of Pe- runa that sell it.
 One person takes Peruna and is cured of cough, or cold. or catarrh, lung disease or kindney disease, or Arrangements which perhaps the doctors have failed to cure, Peruna relieves. He tells his neighbor about it. His neighbor tries it for the same purpose and is cured also. He again tells it, and so the news is spread.
 Yes, mean to put myself on record as saying it is from the experience of the common people that we must expect to sift out the genuine remedies from the many spurious ones claiming attention.
 As doctor myself, who has spent many years in the study and practice of madicine, l say and shall say again many times tha.. Peruna is the best remedy l know of tomeet the com mon everyday climatic ailments tc wh;c hthe household is subject. And if were keeping house as you are trying to keep free from debt ant disease I should certainly keep a bot tie of Peruna in the house all the time.

.s3.50 Recipe Cure
 Weak Men=--free
Send Name and Address T0day-YOu Gan Have It Free and Be Strong
 and Vigorous.

l have in my possession a prescrlp- ton for nervous debility, lack of vg- or, weakened manhood, failing mem cry and lame back, brought on by eXcesses, unnatural drains, or the follies of youth, that has cured so many worn and nervous men right in their own hCmes--w thout an addi- tionai help or med cine--that I think every man who wishes to regain his manly power and virility quickly and quietly should have a copy. So l have determined to send copy of the prescr ption free Of charge in a pla Il, ordinary sealed envelope to any man who will write me for 1t.
 This prescription comes from a' physician who has made special study of men and 1 am conv, v,nced that it is the surest acting combination for the cure of deficient manhood and vigor failure ever put together.
 l think 1 owe it to my fellow man to send them copy in confidence so that any man anywhere who is weak and discouraged with repeated ia lures may stop drugging himself with harmful patent medicines, se- cure what believe is the quickest act ing restorative upbuilding, SPOT- TOUCHING remedy ever devised, and so cure himself at home quiet and qu cky. Just drop me a line like this: Dr. A. E.. Robinson, 1926 Luck building, Detroit, M ch., and I will send you copy of this splendid re- cipe in plain ordinary envelope free of charge. A great many doctors would charge s to s for merely WIT ting out prescription Ike like but send it entirely free.

! Let us suppose it was cough, or a common cold, or hoarseness, or a pain in the chset or q twinge of rheumatism, or a stoppage of the nose and discharge from the throat indicating eatarrh.
 What you are after is first to cure yoGself of your trouble, and, sec ond, to gain experience so that you may cure yourself next time, if you or any member of your family should be so afflicted.
 If you go to the drug store you buy Peruna. If it cures you then you know what to get next time. If it does not cure you and it proves to be worthless, you know what to avoid.
 In taking advertised medicines that have a definate name you are grad ualIy learning to distinguish between those remedies that help and those that do not.
 If aneiGhbor in whom have con fidence should tell me that they have purchased bottle of some adver- tised medicine that helped them. should feel perfectly free to give the medicine trial. And if I found that the advertised medicine cured me should not hesitate to tell my neigh hors about it. I should not hesitate to have my name published, either as testifying to the merits of such a medicine. Nothing short of this would be justice. Nothing less than this would be honest.
 medicines may have had some foUn- dation in the past. Bat up to date can consci5 i5ntiCusly say that there are just as good medicines in the drug store, compounded in manufac- tory, advertised for sale to the peo-

lays particular stress upon the fact
that the success of a pupil depends
upon the cooperation of three par
ties-the pupil, the teacher and the
parent. Mrs. Caroline 3. Stephens,
the principal of the Temple School,
emphasizes the fact that there is
nothing more easily sighted than
teaching. The pupil is not in posi-
ton to realize that he is not being
properly taught. His parents very
often discover it when months and
in some cases, an entire year has been
wasted. The parent should make 1t
his duty to carefully select school.
Inquiries should be made to find the
standing of the school in the business
world, for every business school earns
its reputation through the work Of its
individual pupils. Once pupil is
entered in school, it is the duty of
the parents to sec that the pupil at
tends the school regularly, and that
the work assigned to be done at home
is prepared.
The Temple School gives its pupils
the opportunity TO obtain a thorough
business training.

ENFORCING THE
DOG LAW

= ~ --
The Police Court was kept busy
yesterday in disposing of cases where
persons were harboring unlicensed
dogs or allowing unmuzzled dogs
to run at large. Both white and col
ored delinqucnts were before the
court and in all cases where it was
apparent the accused were guilty Of
violations of the law the penalty was
eXacted
Several persons were hailed before
The bar this morning to answer the
charge of ignoring the law which pro
vides for license tax on all spsci-
mems of the canine race when harbor-
cd on the premises of any resident
of the city over fifteen days.
The court was bombarded with the
usual excuses for failure to comply
with The law, but the tribunal was in
exorablc and imposed the fines pro-
vided in such eases.
"A few months ago, during the mad
dog scare in Virginia, when it was
shown that persons in different sec
tions of the State we're suffering from
rabies and when alarm was caused
in our own city, where persons had
been bitten by ours, the City Council,
very properly. passed an ordinance
requiring all dogs in Alexandria to
lie properly muzzled before being
allowed to appear on the streets. a
small percentage of owners OF DOGS
procured wire muzzleS for their pets
and obeyed the law both in the letter
and spirit. The great majority now
ever. placed leather muzzlcs or thSf1
cogs, which in no way prevents the
animal FROM biting ad libltun. but
the great majority of dogs running
at large during the summer months
have been minus -muzzles- of any, de
scriptjon.
IT was announced by the court re-
gently that. the law provides tna'
dogs shall be properly m"zzlei

.MAAE MAYOR
SEMNiES TIRED.
Anonymous communications

| Anonymous communications made
Mayor Semmes, of Newport News,
Va, "tired," as he sptly expressed
the disgust he felt for writer's of let
tiers who are apparently afraid to
sign their names to them.
Pointing to his waste basket the
mayor very peeyishly remarked, I
wish you would say in that paper OF
yours, that people who sit down and
write letters of complaint to me and
then refuse to sign their names are
just wasting time. These people who
have falAt, to-. find with the way the
affairs of the city are run, but who
haven't the nerve to sign their names,
make me tired" The waste basket
contained several communications
with kicks in them about the way
some of the city officials are attend
ing TO their duties, all Of which pur-
ported TO Ire written by "a Voter
ga Taxpayer" "a Citizen" ard the
like. Mayor Semmes has been re-
ceiving such letters daily ever since
he went into office, and they all met
the same executive scorn as received
by the letters in his waste paper bas=
ket.
Every man who has at any time
presided over the affairs of city has
had an experience similar to that Of
the Mayor of Newport News. The
number Of complainers and mulnur-
ers in communities is legion, though
but few care to assume. the response
bi!ity of taking the Initiative or. to
allow their names to be used whel
officials announce their readiness To-
enforce laws.
Many people suppose a newspaper
is public bludgcon which The pub
fishers should use at the command
Or suggestion Of people WHO decline
TO allow their names to be use. This
class arc quick to make kicks about
things in general, but they invariably
decline to furnish positive informa-
ton themselves, although they are
willing so maize catspaws cut OF
others.
No official can handle a case with
out positive evidence from RESPONSE
BILE witnesses. 1t should not he nee
essary to state this fact. Yet il Of
ten happens that after chronic com
plants have been made concerning
some cisgracefdI procedures in a
community or glaring defanccs of
law. that when the cases eventually
get in court the people the authori-
ties should look to for support gcner-
ally pretend to know the least, anc
when alleged culprits necessarily
escape the meshes Of the law under
such circumstances" those Who We're
the loudest complaintcrs, are the first
to criticise those who arc anxious to
carry out the law.

who sign themselves taxpayers,
