The average man scarcely knows

man has complained of lump"

standing its significance. He did
not know that by some strain he
had broken the Inner wall of the

was protruding against the outer
wall. He didn't know that. in the
event the opening was large
enough, the intestine would swell
until It would be next to impossible

that the irritation would demand
an operation. and frequently result
in death. A discovery OF rupture
demands truss Immediately.
Neither the patient nor the aver

as the surgeon at the Brendel Drug
Store. III Yesler way (south side

extend over several days or weeks.

WILSON iND0RSeD
BY COMMITTEE
1T ORDERS FAVORABLE REPORTS
ON ARBITRATION TREATIES.

Washlngton.-Responding promptly
to President wilson's appeal. made at
the White House conference. the sen
ate committee on foreign relations
ordered favorable reports on a large
number of arbitration treaties between
the United States and the leading coun-
tries Of the world. These we're laid
before the senate later in executive
session and will come up for ratifca-
tion in the dear future.
This action will rehabilitate that ex-
tensive structure OF arbitration which
gradually had been falling to pieces
by the expiration Of the time limit OF
one treaty after another. until all
either had expired or we're about to
expire. While the treaties are yet TO
be ratified. favorable action OF the com
mittee and the strong incentive given
by the presidents appeal. promises
TO lead TO early and favorable action.
The fsr-reaehinS character of this
group Of treaties Is shown by the ioEg
list OF first rate powers with which
they are made. including most OF the
great powers Of Europe. South Ameries
and the Orient. On the list are Greai
Britain, Japan. Italy. spain. Norway
Sweden. Portugal. Switzerland m
France. Similar treaties which vi
expire within year or two. exist wit
The Netherlands. Denmark. Chinl
Austrfa-Huugary. Peru. Salvador. Cost
Rica. Paraguay. Haiti. Ecuador. Braxi
and Uruguay.
Another treaty Of the same kind with
Mexico expired last June and was
not renewed
The senate committee considered
those OF the treaties soon TO expire,
and agreed inasmuch as they are iden-
tical with the eight recommended for
extension. that they should be ap-
proved for extension as rapidly as they
expire.
Aside from the importance of these
treaties in the cause of arbitration,
some have larger significance in af
fecting political and international re-
lations between the United States and
other countries. 1t is understood to
have been the purpose OF President
Wilson and Secretary Bryan In urging
prompt ratification to establish a pa
cific bulwark to further lessen the pos
sibility of complications on any OF the
existing foreign problems.
All the treaties acted on are viz
tually identical and provide for a lin
tied arbitration OF questions which can
not be adjusted by diplomacy.

TEN HOURS FOR CHILDREN.
Cotton Mil Owners Would Extend the
Working Day.

Meridian.-The fight in the legisla.
tive halls at Jackson Is not warmer
than that which is being waged in Me
ridian against the proposition advOcat
ed by cotton mill owners TO change the
working hours for children from eight
hours day TO 10. Organized labor
and vast number OF citizens are
fighting against the proposed change.
while the factory interests say the
change Is necessary. All OF the oper
ators at Lauderdale cotton mills have
signed a petition to the legislature
asking that the hours be extended. A
strong effort has been made to invoke
the Kings Daughters In the fight for
longer hours. but while n committee
from that body reported that they
found conditions good at the local fac
tory. yet they refused to sign a petit
ton asking that small children be
worked two hours additional each day.

Banking slIl Passes Senate.

After devoting the greater part Of
six legislative days to the considera-
tfon OF what Is known as the Kyle
Banking Bill. amended somewhat con-
siderably out Of proportion to its orig
inal form and intent. the senate did
its share toward giving the state .
sound, stable. and. as believed. work
able bank regulation measure. by
passing the bill.
The bill as passed embraces the
best features OF three bills offered.
two In the senate and one in the
house. as believed by those responsi-
Bile for the changes. Members Of the
house who are leading in the fight at
that end feel quite sanguine that Il
will get through there also when the
time for consideration Is reached.
As the hardest fighting centered
around the depositors' guarantee
clauses. embracing sixteen sections,
and by way Of showing the almost
equal division OF the forces, the de-
tailed vote on the adoption OF the Nor.
wood amendment was as follows:
Yeas-Senators Anderson, Bailey,
Bond, Bradshaw, Burkitt. Carter. Cas-
teel. Ellis. Evans. Fatheree. Guynes,
Hobbs. Norwood, Potter. Russell. San
ders OF the Twentysecond. Sanders

The senate passed two important
big bills. being those for the sup
port and maintenance Of the Universi.
ty OF Mississippi and OF the Agricul-
tural and Mechanical College at
Starkville. Both OF these measures
came from the finance committee
pared down to the lowest notch con-
sistent with efficiency and service
and carrying slight reductions below

ciai message to the legislature by way
of calling attention TO certain unpaid
obligations which the legislators them.
selves authorized during recess. Sew

The advocates Of child labor held
the center Of the stage in the hall Of

lation which is deemed essential to

utes- There was a large attendance

Norman failed to prove an aiibi. The
militia stood guard around the court
house. in the corridors and the court
room. and all spectators were search
ed on entering. No demonstration of
violence whatever was made. Troops

criticisms were made because Of their
being ordered to Corinth.
Norman attempted to prove he was
employed 10 Union City. Tenn. at the
time the crime was committed. He

al Several of.the cases listed were

most noted cases on this. docket are
those OF C. C. Smith. former trustee OF
