menace to the religious, political or
educational liberty Of the people OF
the United States.
A desire to promote the welfare Of
mankind and that alone, they said,
prompted them to establish the foun.

Charles A. Lindbergh, representa-.

ceded Mr.. Carnegie on the witness
stand. He gave it as his opinion that
there should be taken from banks the
exclusive privilege of controlling mon.
ey and credit which they have by
government authority"
Audience Mostly Toiiers.
Widely different was the manner in
which Messrs. Rockefeller and Carne.
gle faced the commission. The audi
ence was composed largely of repre-.
sentatives of labor, Socialists. indi'
vidualists and members of the Indus.
trial Workers of the World.
Mr. Carnegie went to the witness
stand from a seat in the audience.
He declined to sit while reading an.
swers to a list of questions submitted
by the commission or while he was
being Intercepted. He was in q
jovia! mood.
The answers he gave to questions
caused the audience and the commits.
sioners to roar with laughter more
than once Mr.. Carnegie enjoyed
that. When he left the stand he said
he had not spent such pleasant at
ternoon in many years.
Mr.. Rockefeller was assisted to the
stand by members of his personal
staff Seating himself with much diff
ficulty he started to read his answers.
His voice was scarcely audible. Mr..
Rockefeller appeared to have aged
much since giving testimony in pub.

EXTRA SESSION OF
CONGRESS PROBABLE

Washington, Feb. 9.-Administra-
ton forces Of the senate succeeded In
forcing the Republicans and insur-
gent Democrats back to the defensive
in the fight over the government ship
purchase bill.
Accepting the inevitable leaders OF
the opposition at once renewed their
unrelenting oratorical war on the bill,
to be continued if necessary, until ad.
journment on March 4.
The president intimated to White
House callers that there is no thought
of yielding to enemies of the proposed
legislation.
Such q situation, it generally was
conceded, is almost certain to lead to
an extra session of congress.

Berlin, Feb. 9.-The naval measures
of Germany against British commerce
are in no sense a blockade. No hos.
tile action against neutral shipping is
contemplated. German submarines
and warships will endeavor by every
means in their power to avoid sinking
American and other neutral ships and
will take every precaution to avoid
a mistake.
The above may be taken as the cor.
rect Interpretation placed upon the
German proclamation in competent
circles in Berlin.
The procla nation declaring the wa
tiers around Great Britain to be war

which were ta,.cn as precedent, is
designed, it is asserted, to warn neu.
trails that a ship venturing into the
naval field of operations exposes it.

wandering on land battlefield, to the
risk of being struck by chance shot.
1t was said that it may be safely as
serted that the Germans have no in
tention of sinking an American ship,
unless she is carrying contraband OF
war, and then only if her crew can be
given the possibility Of escape. 1t
was added, however, that war meas
ures will be carried out against Brit

The warning to neutral shipping.

particularly needed in view OF the re-

danger, an order which, II adhered to,

for q German warship to discriminate
between neutral and hostile shipping.

NERVOUS CHILDREN

From early spring until July is the time
that st. Vitus' dance usually develops
and nervous children should be carefully
watched during that time for symptoms
of the disease.
Irritability is one of the first signs
noted. The child frets, is quarrelsome,
cannot be amused and does not sleep
we'll. The jerky movements and weak
ness characteristic of the disease come a lit
tie later. The patient becomes pale, Ian
guild, haslittle appetite and is usually con-
stipated. Such child should not be al.
lowed to study but should be kept quiet,
given nutritious diet, remain out of
doors as much as possible and take DR..
Williams Pink Pills to build up the blood
and strengthen the nerves. II unusual
symptoms develop or if the nervous
ness continues to the point of hysteria,
physician should be called. In most
cases the tonic treatment with DR.. Will
liams' Pink Pills is sufficient. Without
treatment, ST. Vitus' dance may become
chronic.
Parents of nervous children should
write to the DR.. Williams Medicine Co.,
Schenectady, N. Y, for copy of the
free booklet, "Nervous Disorders, A
Method Of Home Treatment" and diet
book called "What to Eat and How to
Eat" Your own druggist sells DIR. Will

business of approximately $60,O00,-
600 a year without capital and with
out profit, and pointed out the ad-
vantages Of the exchange principle to
both the grower and consumer OF

as the Valencia variety begins to
ripen on the trees about May 1 and
is picked and shipped fresh from the
trees every day thereafter until
about November 1, when the Navel
variety comes into market. It is,
therefore, possible to have fresh
