buster on Safety at
" Sea Measure.

Washington, Dec. 15.-Senators La
Toilette, Cummins, Kenyon, Norris and
other powerful senators have joined
hands In one OF the biggest fights the
Senate has seen for many months. 1t
Is in executive session behind closed
doors and center around the ratifica-
ton of the London safety at sea con-
vention. 1t involves also, the fate OF
the La Toilette seamen's bill now pend
ing before the Senate.
The president. Secretary Bryan and
other forces are pressing for ratification
Of the safety at sea convention. Sem
ator La Toilette is bent on preventing
ratification by filibuster II need be-,
and this may develop,
Even IL a vote is secured, however, 1t
Is by no means certain the treaty will
be ratified.
Opponents OF the treaty are demand
ing that II be considered in open ses-
sion. They declare If 1t is considered in
the light of day they can beat 1t with
ease.
It Is charged by opponents of the
treaty that instead of enhancing safety
Of life at sea, 1t would actually operate
in the other direction because as it has
been reported from the foreign rela-
tons committee. 1t would prevent en-
actment OF the seamen's bill, the pur-
pose of which is to enhance safety on
American vessels and better condition
OF seamen.

CONGRESSMAN TRY
. TO Be ECONOMICAL
Committee Reports Legislative
and Executive Appropriation
Bill Somewhat Shorter
Than Estimates.

Washington. Dec. 15.-"T5conomy'
was the watchword OF the appropria-
ions committee in preparation of the
legislative. executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill first of the big sup
ply measures, which was reported to the
House today. The committee Topped off
nearly 100000 from the estimates
submitted by the various departments
cutting salary allowances all along the
line, and brosght in a measure appro-
priating 1914 1880.
. The total of the bill shows an in
crease OF S1,128,843 over last years
measure. But this years measure in
cludes a special appropriation OF ST.
2s6,100 and authorities 1000 additional
employees for taking me agricultural
census authorized by the law covering
the last regular census in 1910. The
committee in its report says that this
is an extraordinary expenditure which
will come once every 10 years and
maintains therefore, that this years
measure is materially less than the last
appropriation.
The bill contains the usual provision
cutting down the mileage allowance OF
members OF congress from 20 cents a
mile to cents a mile.

Diat and Diaestion.
Orison SWEET Marden IN Nautilus.

Isn't it strange that men who are
level headed in their vocations should
be SO ignorant, and should do such
foolish things in the matter OF their
health? Take brain workers, for ex-
ample. They usually do not give their
digestive organs half a chance to DO
their work. Many of them do not
know that the digestive act Is so tre-
mendously important that nature has
supplied the alimentary tract with
blood vessels Of sufficient capacity to
contain more than twice the amount or
blood in the entire body. But 1t Is thus
she tries to show us the great import
ance of putting the greatest possible
blood supply along the alimentary tract
during the digestive processes, which
is impossible when one Is holding much
OF the blood in the brain by attempting
to do brain work at the same time that
the digestive process Is going on. Many
intelligent people do not know that the
reason for being so sleepy and dull
after a hearty meal is because nature
has sent Just as much blood as possible
to the digestive organs, and the brain
Is left without stimulation. Nature
thus makes 1t difficult for US TO work
right after a meal by withdrawing from
the brain the blood which supplies the
thinking force. It is positively wicked
to attempt to think right after hearty
meal and no one can persist in doing
so without serious results, as he will be
deflying one Of natures most important

ADVANCE OF ALLIES
may HURT CIVILIANS
Germans May Exact Heavy Re-
prisals If Townspeople Show
Hostility.

London, Dec. 15.-Correspondent in
northern France, who anticipate gen.
eral advance by the allies shorSfy,
point out that the situation Is fraught
with the greatest danger to the civilian
population of the towns occupied by
the Germans. The sympathies OF the
civilians, the correspondents think, are
likely to lead them to attempt to as
sist the allies. thereby compelling the
Germans to take severe measures for
their self protection.
Such a situation, in fact, arouse
around Roulers last week, according to
the correspondent of the Daily Express,
who says: ...
when the allies attacked Roulers,
the Germans learned that civilians
were aiding the allies by messages and
signals, whereupon they warned the In.
habitants that the town would be de,
stroyed and every inhabitant killed I'M
less neutrality was maintained.
"Roulers was evacuated too hastily
to enable the Germans to carry out
their threats, although the population,
openly hostile, began shooting at the
retreating Germans. from cellars, and
killed struggling Germans with pitch
forks and other weapons.

Who Compels You to Aet2
From Nautilus

Don't fool yourself with the idea that
you are compelled to do or be anything.
You are not doing things because you
are compelled to. but because you
choose to. Because there is some line
OF reasoning within yourself that keeps
you choosing to do them. You never
lift your hand unless you choose to.
You never get out Of bed in the morn
ing except as you choose to. You could
lie down on the bed this moment and
never move hand or foot again, II you
choose to, and your friends, or your
town, or somebody, or something would
take care Of you.
Quit fooling yourself by laying the
blame for your conditions, or your
feelings, or your thoughts or actions
off onto somebody else. Trace every
thing back to its root in your own
choice. Ask yourself why you choose
to do what you do, and keep on asking
until you know the truth.
Lay the blame for everything on your
own choice; review the conditions, and
make the right choice for every step;
and you will very quickly find your
self walking the straight and narrow
path that Is infinite peace and free
dom. You will find your prayers ris-
ing to the infinite and their answer

German warships that encountered the
British squadron December off the

Her presence at Punta Arenas means
that she was either endeavoring to
reach the Pacific again or that she
contemplates interning for the remain

Chilean port. The Strait of Magellan
Is narrow. British warships doubtless
are at its Atlantic entrance and Japa-

But If a man had record?" insisted
Weinstock
IF a man had a record, and the
courts had been just, he would have
paid the penalty before he applied fol
union membership. The union should
not take from him the right to earn his
daily bread"
Then you don't investigate the
moral character Of applicants?"
What has a mans moral character
to do with the right OF his family t.
have bread?" replied Doyle.
The witness offered to produce evi
dence that employees Of the operators
had committed the first violence in the
strike, providing the commission would
bear the expense of securing witnesses
and records.
Doyle said he did not believe any
strike could be won by violence.
