stration in America OF DIR. FREDERICK
Franz Friedmann's treatment which the
visiting Berlin physician declares is a
cure for tuberculosis was given by DR..
Friedman himself in the presence Of
physicians representing the city, the
state and the stats OF hospitals of sew
eral cities.
Three patients, two men and wom-
an, were selected by DIR. Friedman from
80 tuberculosis sufferers gathered from
all parts of the city, all hopeful that
they would receive treatment. Tho
woman has been i'll three years. Hcrs
is a chronic case of the disease at the
knee, and was the most serious OF the
three chosen. The two men have tuber-
eulosis of the lungs.
Each of the three, who were treated
received double injection in the mus
cles and in the veins. DIR. Friedman
explained to those about him that the
first reaction might be expected to be
observed after seven days. The patients
went TO their homes with instructions
to return three weeks hence. DIR. Fried

NOW PREPARED
FOR WORK
Democrats of the New Congress Buckle
on Their Armor at 0nce--Lively
Contests Expected to Develop.

| Washington, March S-With the
House ways and means committee meet
| ing to organize, the real tariff work OF
the 63rd Congress began yesterday.
| With only three new members on the
Democratic side OF the committee, it
seemed practically certain that the tariff
measures framed under the supervision
of Majority Leader Underwood during
the last session would be accepted by
the new committee and laid before the
caucus before the extra session begins
April |.
In addition to its tariff work, the com
mittee is confronted by the problem OF
recognizing the entire Democratic side
of the House through its functions as
committee on committees
The committee appointments are ex-
pected to develop some lively contests
and the leaders are inclined to defer
action on them as long as possible. Rep
resentatiye Underwood and his associates
are of the opinion that the Democrats
should get down to work on the tariff
and let all other questions go until the
regular session next December. With
this program in mind. it has even been
suggested that only the necessary com
mittees appropriations to take care of
the two supply bills which failed in the
last session, enrolled bills and accounts
to care for the routine of the house be
organized at the extra session. This
would defer any trouble over appoint
ments until the tariff was out OF the
way.
There is some sentiment in the house,
however, in favor of immediate curren-
cy legislation, arising from an impress
sion that President Wilson desires early
action in that direction. Whether Rep
Carter Glass, who will be
chairman of the banking and currency
of the new Congress, will be
allowed to bring in his bill at the extra
session will rest largely with the presi
dent, it is said, although the house lead
ers are urging Mr.. Wilson to eonfine the
activities of the extra session to the
tariff.
The usual crop of lobbyists is appear
ing in Washington to watch the ways |
and means committee. Organized oppo- !
,ition will combat any radical tariff bills |
IN the house and will follow them to the /
Senate, where strenuous efforts will be /
made to temper any great reduction.
President Wilson's present purpose. il /
vas learned yesterday, is to accept the /
proposal of the House leaders and recon-
mend that the tariff alone be acted upon
1t the extra session of Congress.

PRESIDENTIAL PULcHRITUDE.
How Woodrow Wilson, Our New Presi-
dent, Overcame Natures Handicap.

Writing in the March Century" of
THE Kind of Man Woodrow Wilson

thus describes the new presidents deter

caps; A man who has observed the
world shrewdly said: Woodrow Wilson
is handsome man. but he made himself
So Nature set out to make him ugly
Whatever the judgment as to Mr.. VIII
sons pulchritude, it is certainly true
that he has made his own face. The
handsome, gray blue eyes and the long
jaw, were given him by nature, but the
firm mouth, the strong lines of the face.
the keen but kindly look of the eyes, the
thoughtful but untroubled brow---all
these Mr.. Wilson has put into his own
face by long years of self-mastery
mastery of difficult and ardnous tasks.
Those who have known him for many
years know that his mind his character,
and even his physique are largely self
produced. When a young man he was
rather nervous and easily tired. In the
first year of his teaching. lecture to a
small class would so exhaust him that
he would sometimes have to lie down
and rest. So it was at thirty; but at
fifty-six he can speak most of the day
and far into the night, sleep on a rail
way train, and do the same thing the
next day and the next through weeks of
political campaigning. AT thirty he was
almost delicate in health, but at fifty
six he is absolutely sound and well.

A Farmer Who Whipped the Tobacco
Trust.

In the Interesting People" depart
ment of the March American Magazine
appears an article about Ben Watson. an
old-style American farmer, who organized
tobacco revolt in Kentucky and drove
the Tobacco Trust out of power in five
counties. Following is an extract:
In 1908 the trust was paying to the
farmers of the western part of kentucky
the black tobacco region--less than
three cents pound for their tobacco, Il
price less than the cost of production.
America boiled up in Ben. With the aid
of fellow tobacco-raser of neighbor-
ing county he called meeting at that
county's seat to which representatives
from the five tobacco-r raising counties of
the region were invited to consider the
organization of body whose purpose
should be to secure a more reasonable
financial return to the farmers.
Ten or twelve farmers met. together
with about two dozen lawyers and other
city folk who came to laugh. Farmers
going to organize, Ho no! But the
farmers settled down to business, and
when the meeting adjourned start had
UteH tuNdIu tUS HAst hGltNChN
branch of the American society of equity.
The following year the farmers pooled
their tobacco, placing it in the hands OF
Ben Watson to sell. Ben advertised that
he would meet in Louisville on a certain
date any who wished to bid on the entire
crop of these five counties. and
that he would sell to the highest bidder,
providing the highest bid was what he
thought the farmers should receive. The
bidders came. Ben lined them up along
a wall in Louisville hotel-made them
stand up, mind you-and then read them
the law. Each bidder had to give him
sealed bid. When the bids were all in
Ben dismissed them, while he considered
the figures. The highest bid was quar-.
ter of cent below what he thought was
fair. He called in the bidders again,
made them reform their line along the
wall, and one by one dismissed them I'M
lii he was alone with the highest bidder.
You are the highest bidder he said, but
you are quarter of cent too low.
You'll have to raise it, The bidder tele-
graphed his company. Split the differ
.nce,' came the reply. But Ben wouldn't
.plit. The bidder wired again. and the
came to time.
