When a BIunder Counts.

Wnen BIunder Counts.
CBy Morgan Blake
It's not the fact that you pulled
a bone
That counts in this critical
age
There are lots and lots of mis-
takes rung up
BY the scholar, and by the
sage;
But it's when did you make the
break that counts,
And where were you, lad,
when you made it?
Fhe hobbies are many that pass
unobserved,
But results, yes, that's how
you grade it.
Now Merkle, they say. is a SEN
sAble man,
With his share of the old gray
ish matter;
But he failed to touch second
pennant at stake
So, therefore, we have all
this chatter.
And yet-such is life-if the
blunder had come
When naught was involved in
the play;
His asinine stunt might have
passed unobserved
And he'd not be "bonehead'
today.

Washington, April AS an out

terday to cut off the free telegraph
privileges accorded senators, which failed
because of lack of quorum, Senator
Robinson of Arkansas yesterday intro
duced bill which would limit senatorial
mail Thanking privileges to 5000 in any

ment to the same end adopted yester-
day in connection with the attempt to
prohibit the free telegraph privileges for
senators, but was defeated and an
nounced that he would introduce it as a
bill The controversy in the Senate
Tuesday arose over the introduction by
the committee on contingent expenses of
a restoration limiting the annual tele-
graph expenses of any senator to $50
for messages on official business. Sem
ator Robinson then sought to have his
amendment adopted but it was ruled
out of order For the committees res

stitute to provide that no senator might
send messages by wire even on official
business at the public expense. The
Kenyon substitute failed of passage
only because of the lack of quorum.

QUIT MEAT IF YOUR
KIDNEYS ACT BADLY
Take Tablespoonful of Salts if Back
Hurts or Bladder Bothers--Drink
Lots of Water

we are nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says a
we'll known authority, who warns us to
be constantly on guard against kidney
trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this irritating acid, but be-
come weak from the overwork; they get
sluggish; the eliminative tissues clog
and thus the waste Is retained in the
blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel like
humps of lead, and you have singing
pains in the back or the urine is cloudy,
full of sediment, or the bladder is irri-
table, obliging you to seek relief during
the night, when you have severe head
aches, nervous and dizzy spells, sleep.
lessness, acid stomach or rheumatism in
bad weather, get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts: take a
tablespoonful in a glass of water before
breakfast each morning and in few
days your kidneys will act fine. This
famous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
lithia, and has been used for generations
to flush and stimulate clogged kidneys,
to neutralize the acids in urine so it is
no longer a source of irritation, thus
ending urinary and bladder disorders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and cannot
injure; makes delightful effervescent
lthia- water drink, and nobody can make
mistake by taking a little occasion
ally to keep the kidneys clean and ac-
tive.

NEW YORK POLICE
HEAD HAS RESIGNED
Commissioner Douglas Mckay to Quit
New York Department to
Renter Business.

New York, April 2.--The resignation
of Douglas Mckay as police commits
sioner has been in Mayor Mitchels
hands since Friday. This fact became
known after the publication OF a report
that within three days the mayor would
appoint a new commissioner.
Mckay refused to give his reasons for
resigning. He said the mayor was at
liberty to make his letter of resigna-
ton public but added. IF he does so /
may have something to say. | cannot
say anything while ] am connected with
the department"
The assumption that Mckay resigned
to resume private business was con-
firmed when the mayor gave out the
commissioners letter and his own reply
praising the commissioner for his work
with the department.

men of the two sub committees in
charge OF rural credit legislation, told
President Wilson yesterday that Repub-

fundamentals and that bill embodying
their views would be ready soon. The
president impressed his callers with
what seemed to him to be a necessity
for prompt action and was told in de-
tail of the program. Mr.. Buckley be-
lieved rural credits would follow the
appropriation bills in the House. In the
Senate Mr. Hollis said the tolls con-
troversy and appropriation bills would
occupy many weeks, but rural credits
would be disposed of ahead of the trust

London, April "A remarkably pa

mier Asquith will be returned to Par
lament unopposed. Feeling in favor of
settlement ON federal basis is gaining
ground. Unionist Sir Mark Sykes made
strong appeal for such settlement dur
ing the home rule debate.
Much OF the fire and fight had disap-
peared when the House of Commons
took up discussion Of the home rule bill
yesterday. There was distinct tone
of Cancellation in the expressions of both
sides. A division has been set for April
9 and rumors of a possible compromise
were circulated. Many believe the OPP
position to the offer OF six years exclu-

against home rule in ''local option" cleo
tons may be withdrawn, but this, it is
admitted, would be approved by Sir Ed

LOSS OF APPETITE
Most Successfully Treated by Taking
Hoods Sarsaparilla

Loss of appetite is accompanied by
loss of vitality, which is serious.
1t is common in the spring because at
this time the blood is impure and impov-
erished and fails to give the digestive
organs what is absolutely necessary for
the proper performance of their func-
tions.
Hoods Sarsaparilla, the old reliable
all the-year-round medicine, is especially
useful in the spring. Get it from your
druggist. BY purifying and enriching the
blood and giving vitality, vigor and tone,
it is wonderfully successful in the treat
ment of loss of appetite and the other
ailments that are so prevalent at this
time. 1t is not simply spring medicine
lit is much more than that-but it is
the best spring medicine.
Hoods Sarsaparilla makes the rich
red blood that the stomach and other
digestive organs need. Get it to-day

T0BU|LD NEW DEPOT
 IN CHATTANOOGA Reported N., c. & St. l.. to Shortly Begin Work on
 New Structure

Chattanooga, July 24.-(Special) ) According to we'll founded srumors in local railroad circles the Nashville, Chattanooga and St. Louis railway is shortly to begin work hero upon the erection of new passenger depot to replace the present historic union shed which. with numerous repairs has ac- eomodated the passenger trains of the line since the civil war.
 According to the information ob- tainable the new passenger station will be built above the present crossing of the road on Market street. The erec- tior of a structure at this point will enable through trains from Nashville to Atlanta to pass through without switching and will enable local trains between Chattanooga and Atlanta and Chattanooga and Nashville to head without the necessity of switching and backing in as is now the case. The new arrangement would cut practically 10 minutes from tho schedule and greatly reduce the dangers to life and limb which now exist at the present grade crossing on Market street.
 Local officials are extremely reticent upon the new Improvement and no in- timation of the proposed or rumored plans for the architecture of the struc- ture has been obtainable even after dil . igent inquiry.
