new CURRENCY BILL
NEARING COMPLETION
Representative Underwood and Seere-
tary McAdoo Hold Conference and
Measure Soon Will Be Introduced.
EXPERTS ARE NOW AT WORK

An extended conference on the subject
of the banking and currency bill that
will be presented in the House early in
June was held yesterday by Representa-
tive Underwood and Secretary of the
Treasury McAdoo.
Experts retained by President Wilson
are working on the banking bill in con-
junction with Secretary McAdoo and the
House leaders. and the measure is rapid
ly nearing completion. Present indica-
tons are that il will be introduced
early in June, and that debate on il
will be begun at once.
II Is understood Secretary McAdoO
discussed with Mr.. Underwood the situa-
ton in the House in its hearing on bank
ing and currency legislation, and there
is reason to believe that the House
leader had something to say about the
personnel of the Committee on Banking
and Currency that soon will be named.
Mr.. Underwood and his associates on
the Ways and Means Committee will be-
gin today the work of naming the other
House committees, and among the first
to be named will be that on Banking
and Currency.
If the House leaders have their way
about II the banking and currency bill
will be a conservative measure with 20
reference whatever to the plan of
guaranteeing bank deposits. The House
leaders make no Concealment OF their
opposition to the guarantee system, and
II is understood that the administration
will not indorse it.
Neither Representative Underwood
nor Secretary McAdoo would make any
comment on yesterdays conference. Mr..
Underwood merely said that he had dis
cussed a public question with Secretary
McAdoo, but he did not care to indi-
cate Just what was under consideration.

HOUSE TO SUPPORT
PRESIDENTS VETO
If Sundry Civil Bill Is Disapproved
Objectionable Features Will Be
Stricken Out.

A dozen prominent Democrats Of the
House. including several members of the
Ways and Means Committee, declared
yesterday that IL the President vetoes
the sundry civil bill on account of its
provision exempting LABOR unions and
farmers societies from prosecution under
the Sherman antitrust law, the House
would support him in that action and
would repass the sundry civil bill with
the provision eliminated. They denied
that any attempt would be made to pass
the bill as at present framed over the
Presidents veto, should he disapprove
IL.
The Republicans of the House. or the
great majority OF them, are already COM
mitted to vote against the labor union
provision. None of these Democrats
have been consulted by the President as
TO their attitude and as far as is known
the President has consulted only Rep
resentative Fitzgerald Of New York. who
believes the President should sign the
bill in its present form. The bill is now
in conference, but the conferees cannot
remove the labor union provision because
II is not one of the questions in disagree
ment. and the conferees have no juris-
diction.
The Presidents present plan is to sign
the bill and issue a memorandum disap-
proving the item.

The Democratic members or the RI

that all persons who wish to confer with

schedules referred to them should do SC

Committee Soon to Report.
Chairman Simmons expressed the
opinion that with the oral hearings con-
cluded on Tuesday night, the subcom'
mittees could complete their work by
the end of next week. May 81, and be
ready to report to the full majority mem
bership. This will bring the Democratic
tariff revisers up to June !, practically.
The bill then will have to be considered
by the full Democratic membership and
thereafter turned over to the Democratic
party conference or caucus and still later
go back to the full Finance Committee,
where the Republican members OF the
committee will have a say.
Senator Hoke Smith said yesterday that
the Democratic leaders would be very
much gratified II they got the bill back
into the Senate by June Is. Even with
this result, only two weeks would be
given for the consideration of the bill
by the Democratic majority of the FL
nance Committee, then by the Democratic
party conference, and finally by. the full
committee.
The Finance Committee has agreed Ia
print all briefs and statements that have
been submitted to the subcommittee on
the bill unless such information has here
tofore been printed by the House OF
Representatives.
When the Senate meets today the ques-
ton of sending out list of twenty ques-
tions prepared by Senator La Toilette
10 be propounded TO manufacturers and
others interested in the tariff bill will be
disposed of. Senator Simmons will offer
some amendments to the list of questions
submitted by Senator La Toilette, and
he believes that the Senate will author
ize the printing and the distribution of
these interrogatOns.
II these questions are mailed and the
information sought is to be given any
credence. the plan will be another time
consuming performance. 1t will require
some time to prepare and mail the ques-
tons, as well as to prepare answers
thereto, and II the Finance Committee
is to consider the Information called for
in connection with the framing of the
bill. it will have to postpone its report
to the Senate longer than is now con-
templated.

BOWDLE AGAIN RAPS
SUFFRAGE FOR WOMEN
Longworth's Successor in House Says
Vote Against Amendment Will
Be Overwhelming.

The first vote in the House on the pro-
posed constitutional amendment in be-
half of equal suffrage will not show the
real opposition in Congress to votes for
women, according to Representative
Stanley Z. Bowdle of Ohio. The measure
will be overwhelmingly defeated, Mr..
Bowdle declares, but a considerable num-
Der of the members who will vote
against it. he believes, will take refuge
behind a technicality.
Instead of meeting the issue fairly
and squarely." says Mr.. Bowdle, "a
number of members who are unalterably
opposed TO votes for women will evade
the question by voting to have equal
suffrage made a local issue to be settled
by the voters of each State. This eX-
pedient will enable members of Congress

PROVIDING NESTS
FOR THE PULLETS
Habit Of Egg Eating often
Formed in the Flock by Lack
of Ample Room.

AS the pullet begins laying. more
nests will be needed and 1t is very
important that plenty of nests should
be provided SO there will be no quar-.
reling over them.
The vice of egg eating Is often
started in the flock because, the hens
are fighting sover the nests. break the
eggs and find out that they are good
to eat. Soft shelled eggs and feeding
egg shells without crushing them will
also teach the hens to eat eggs. When
one learns. 1t doesn't take long for
the whole flock to get the habit, and
then there Is trouble indeed
Soft shelled eggs should be guarded
against by feeding the hens plenty OF
clover and keeping them well supplied
with oyster shell and green cut bone.
Whenever you catch a hen in the
act of eatlEg an egg. better send her
to a market or cut off her head at
once. So far as my experience goes,
1t is the only sure cure.
Some people advise cutting the bill
down to the quick. filling egg shells
with red pepper, ETC.. but this is a
great deal of trouble and cruelty. AND
have never known it to cure. Pre-
vention is much the better way.
Supply the hens with plenty of
nests. guard against soft shells. never
throw egg shells out without crushing
them. and gather the eggs often

Backache Makes Anyone Feel Old

Nothing ages anyone more quickly than
weak kidneys.
1t 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 OF ill-heallh.
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 il off dissolved in the urine.
If the kidneys are weak or diseased, only
part Of this filtering 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 ir-
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 20 headaches. and an
noyed with sharp, piercing pains that
make work an agony and rest impossible.
Doan's Kidney Pills are the best-recom-
mended and most widely used remedy for
weak or diseased kidneys. They act quick
ly; contain no poisonous nor habit-form-
ing drugs and leave no bad after-affects
of any kind-iust make you feel better all
over.
