MEMBERS OF CONGRESS HOLD NOSES

OF HOLIDAYS WORK DEMANDED

probably authorize more scout ships,
as it is claimed our navy is deficient
in these. There will also be probably
a couple of new hospital ships and
perhaps some additional golfers.
With the opening of the Panama
Canal the navy can pass freely be-
tween the Atlantic and the Pacific
Coast. Some facts in that connection
has been brought out at the recent
hearings The Pacific Coast people
have long insisted they were entitled
to more protection from the fleet, es-
pecially as the Japanese are supposed
to be something of a menace in the
Pacific ocean. At the hearings Rep
resentative stephens, of Los Angeles,
questioned Secretary of the Navy
Daniels about the passage of the bat
tlefieet to and fro between the two
oceans and developed that the Depart
ment was averse to allowing the fleet
to go into the Pacific Ocean at present
with all Europe aflame in War.
The Pacific Coast people want a fleet
maintained in their proximity and are
likely to demand a large enough navy
soon to permit of two fleets. Repre-
sentative Stevens showed by his ques-
tioning of Secretary Daniels that the
| battle fleet at Guantanamo can reach
Key West within IS hours and within
| three days could be off New York City
and other large seaports. On the other
hand from Guantanamo to San Fran
cisco and like points on the West Coast
through the canal it is between II and
Is days of steaming.
Secretary of War GarrisoA made rec
concentrations for enlarging the army
and these have been adopted by the
| House Military Affairs committee in
some measure. Great efforts will be
made, however, to add several more
| regiments of infantry and cavalry
| Amendments have been prepared &c
| that effect and will be pressed when
| the bill is under consideration after
the holidays. One plan much favored
Is to have enlistments for Is months
| following which soldiers shall be dis
charged into reserve organizations
where they can be called out in time
Of emergency for service under the
flag. This reserve plan for the army
will probably be adopted eventually
IL not at this session of Congress, al
the next session.
| spirited CLASHES may De expected III
| Senate and House over the army and
navy bills. The opponents of mighty
military establishments will drive the
struggle home to the very last ditch
and presumably will win something fol
their activities. They have promoted
the liveliest scrimmage of this session
of Congress thus far and at least
have awakened the public to the sit
uation regarding our national defense
Hon. Byron Boyd and his two sons
Robert and Richard have recently

BLOOD WILL TELL"
The Heroes of the War.

Blood will tell" is an axiom that
in all the ages has never been gain
said. Every man who does a brave
heroic act carries within his veins a
quality of blood that urges and sus-
tains him. No matter whether DE in
herits it from a long line of famous
ancestors or from the sound and
healthy constitution of his immediate
parents, whose only distinction is hon
orable toll and a simple, virtuous life.
1t matters little where or how you
obtain it, but it matters all the world
that by some means you possess good
blood. Good blood is first, last and
always the making of manly men and
NHomanly women. 1t Is the source of
all courage virtue and happiness.

BRONCHIAL COUGHS

When the bronchial tubes are af-
fected with that weakening, tickling
cough, they need immediate and sem
sible treatment. The breath seems
shorter because of mucous obstruc-
tons; usually fever is present and
your head jars with every cough.
Your chest aches and the infamma-
ton often spreads to the lungs.
The food-tonic that has proven its
worth for forty years-is SCOTS Emul-
sion. 1t drives out the cold, which
is the root of the trouble, and checks
the cough by aiding the healing
process of the enfeebled membranes.
If you are troubled with bronchitis
or know an afflicted friend, always re-
member that SCOTS Emulsion builds
strength while relieving the trouble.
