Senator ShOuSe Holds to His
Place in Senate.
By SO Doing He Is Losing
$20.53 Day.

The state senate took a few minutes
off at noon today TO exchange courte-
sizes with one of its members Jouett
Shouse of Edwards county-who today
begins his career as a member of con-
gress. representing the Seventh dis
trict. ShOuSe, however VIII not report
at Washington until after the IeSlSIa-
ture- has taken final adjournment As
chairman of the senate ways and
means committee he holds the most
conspicuous place in the closing days
of the legislature, as captain Of the
defense OF the educational approprIa-
ton bills which are under the fire or
the administration. Much of his most
important work in this legislature Is
still ahead of him
The exceptionally high regard for
the sincerity of Shouse's efforts to
construct an educational budget pro-
portiOnate to the present needs OF
Kansas schools was manifested by his
colleagues in the resolution OF con
gratuIations offered by Senator c B.
Huffman and unanimously adopted
Shouse was called to the speakers
stand and expressed his appreciation
for the tribute He told the Kansas
senate that he did not expect to find
in congress a gathering which aver
aged higher in ability or integrity than
does the senate of this state and char
acterized It as an ideal training
school for any man who expects TO
serve in any other office
The sacrifice Shouse is making by
STAYING with his legislative ship
through the closing days of the ses-
sion is d financial one which most
men would consider twice. 1t means
a loss of just S20-53 a day to postpone
the taking of his oath of office for as
his salary will be $500
a year As senator now he receives
But Shouse wouldn't miss
the fight over the educational budget

Layton Bill to Divide Corporation
School Tax Is Dead

Representative Layton's plan to di-
vide the school tax from public service
corporations among the school dis
triCtS of the various counties, was
killed in the house today. After half
hours debate in which the members
from the towns and cities fought the
members from the rural districts, the
house voted to strike out the enactinS
clause of the Osborne county members
pet scheme.
AS provided in the bill, school taxes
received from public service corpora
tions would be divided among the dis
tricts of the county Members pointed
out that the cities and townships
which had paid the bonds to encour-
age railroads and other public service
corporations objected strenuOusly to
division of taxes among districts which
paid nothing So the bill was given
custOmarily considerate burial when
the house voted SIS to 35 to strike out

RECIPE TO
CLEAR A
PIMPLY SKIN
Pimples Are Impurities Seeking an
Outlet Through Skin Pores.

PimpleS. sores and boils usually re-
suit from toxins, pOisOns and impuri-
ties which are generated in the bowels
through the very ducts which should
absorb only nOurishnent to sustain
the body
It is the function of the kidneys to
filter impurities from the blood and
cast them out in the form of urine.
but in many instances the bowels
create more toxins and impurities
than the kidneys can eliminate, then
the blood uses the skin pores as the
next best means OF gettinG rid of
these impurities which often break
out all over the skin in the form of
pimples-
The surest way to clear the skin
of these eruptiOns- says a noted auth
ority, is to get from any pharmacy
about four ounces OF Jad Salts and
take a tablespoonful in a glass of hot
water each morning before break
for one week This will prevent the
formation of toxins in the bowels 1t
also stimulates the kidneys to normal
activity thus coaxing them to filter
the blood of impurities and clearing
the skin of pimples
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with hthia-

This being much time and money

traces of the catarrhal poison from the
system The prescription which was
eventually formulated and which has

WILSON ON CONGRESS
The President Issues Statement on
Things Accomplished.

Washington. March president
Wilson today dictated the following
statement about congress and its
work:
a great congress has closed its ses-
sions It's work will prove the pur-
pose and quality of its statesmansh p
more and more, the longer it is tested
Business has now time of calm and
thoughtful adjustment before it, dis
turbed only by the European war
The circumstances created by the war
put the nation to a special test, a test
of its true character and of its self
control
1.-The constant thought Of every pa
triOtic man should now be for the
country-its peace, its order, its just
and tempered judgment in the face OF
perpIexing difficulties Its dignity and
its strength alike will appear not only
in the revival of it's business despite
abnormal conditions but also in its
power to think, to purpose and to act
with patience, with disinterested fair
ness. and without excitement in a
spirit of friendliness and enlighten-
ment which will firmly establish its
influence throughout the world"

of a series of half a dozen substitutes
for the original measure and the one
that will be voted on in Fridays Ses-

it was first taken up.
At this late day it seems likely that

one of three measures in which the
women of the state were particularly
interested. two of which have been
passed. The others were the welfare

yesterday and the child hygiene bill
which was put through on final pas

The fight over the mothers pension
involved several issues which have not
yet been settlef One of these was
whether the pension business should

or of the county commissioners. An
other point of debate was whether it

Application OF Western Roads

MILLIONS HAVE BEEN SPENT
And Only Slight Increase
Granted, Is Plea of Roads.
Commissioner Daniels of I. c. C..
Presiding Over Hearing.

Chicago, March 1.-The hearing of
the application of the western rail-
roads TO the Interstate commerce COM
mission for an increase in freight
rates. designed, it is said. TO equalize
certain rates on $4,000 miles of road,
and which. if allowed, will net the
roads involved $40. 100000 a year, was
begun here today before Commission
er W NJ Daniels
c. c Wright. general solicitor of the
Chicago Northwestern Railway com
pany, appeared as chief of counsel
for the railroads Clifford Thorne,
chairman of the Iowa state railway
commission, who opposed the roads in
the eastern rate case, appeared IN a
similar capacity here, representing
eighteen state railway commissions
which oppose the advance The OPP
position includes also individual ship
pers. Their side is to be given a hear
ing on March 80
Mr. Wright in opening the case for
the forty-oRe railroads interested. said
that the CO rriers in the territory in
volved had been called upon during
the last seven years to invest more
than 100000. 600 a year in additions
and betterments. but that there had
been only a slight increase in their
revenues During these years, he as
serted, the roads had not earned what
the courts have held to be a fair rate
Of return upon their properties The
ratio of return upon investment had
been decreasing and the operating
ratio increasing
Mr.. Wright called attention to the
fact that in 1910 the Interstate COM
merce commission, in denying adj
vanceS at that time, had said that if
the then fears of the carriers should
be subsequently realized, the commits
sion will not hesitate to give its sane
ton to increases which will be reason
able These fears. Mr.. Wright said,
had been more than realized"
The case would not be presented,
he explained, as the application of any
single road, as the question did not
depend either upon the prosperity of
the strongest road or the needs of the
weakest, but upon the return of the
prosperity of all the roads
Grain, grain products, live stock,
fresh meats and packing house prod
ucts. coal hay, fruits, vegetables and
cotton piece goods were named by the
attorney as the principal commodities |
upon which the advance was sought. |
These, he said, had been treated /
separately with a view of establish |

by advancing those which were too /
