CONGRESS BEGINS
BUSINESS AT NOON
Administration Leaders Will
Try to Crowd Big Program
Into Short Session.
SUPPLY BILLS ARE FIRST

Washington, Dec, 3.--The Sixty
fourth congress will reconvene at
noon tomorrow for its second session
which will end with the life OF the
present congress on March 4. The
administration, although assured Of
control for four years imore in all
branches, excepting possibly the
House of Representatives has an am
bilious legislative program all of
which cannot be crowded into the
next three months, e3
Where the administration is TO
draw the line on general legislation
has not been determined. Party con-
ferences will outline the program to
be attempted in addition to the ap-
preparation bills which must be passed
to meet expenditures of government
for the fiscal year 19l7-19l8.
Big Problems Unsolved.
When congress adjourned last Sep
tember, the democratic senate caucus
agreed that the immigration bill, with
its oft-vetoed literacy test, would be
taken up and passed before consider
alton of any other legislation. 1t also
had agreed to act on the Owen cor
rupt practices bill, measure to limit
expenditures in national political
campaigns and to provide new penal
ties for election frauds. Both meas
ures had been pressed at the end OF
the session, to the embarrassment of
both parties, and were abandoned by
mutual consent despite the urgent de-
mands of few members.
Besides those two measures the
memorable railroad eight-hour day
fight which marked the last days OF
the last session had ended with legis-
lation suggested by President Wilson
unconsidercd. 1t will be urged upon
the congress by the administration
above all other subjects. In fact the
joint committee created by congress
to investigate the whole subject of
railroad problems has been in session
two weeks preparing recommended
tions and it is apparent that this will
be the dominating feature of the ses-
sion.
Supply Bills Come First.
In view of the probability that the
administration is to face divided
Sixty-fifth congress, or at best non
dependable plurality in the lower
house, it is the hope OF democratic
leaders to complete before the March
adjournment what remains of a con-
structive program of reform lcgisla-
ton long ago conceived. All are con-
vinced. however, of the paramount
importance of supply bills and these
must take precedence, general legis-
lation to be considered whenever time
will permit.
Of the supply measures there is
again more than usual importance at
tachcd to the naval appropriation bill.
Hearings already have begun before
the house committee. The bill must
provide for the second years con-

Talks on Spiritual Life
In the Animal Kinudom

In lecture given by DR.. Pribbenow
before the Theosophical society, 7Ol
Bee building, Sunday evening on the
subject, Spiritual Life in the Animal
Kingdom" lie spoke of the part
played by the animal kingdom in the
great evolutionary scheme. He show
ed how the rudimcnts of mind and
those principles which shall later
show out in perfection in the human,
are evolved; that animals have a
conscious and subconscious mind lust
as man, and that instinct in the ami
NAL is already the developing of the
spiritual, that will show forth as
intuition in the human. That instinct
is the accumulated experience OF the
species, that is stored in the animal
group soul, and TO which the separate
animal forms are linked.

CLOGGED KIDNEYS
CAUSE MANY ILLS

Those twinges of pain in the back;
spots before the eyes; yellow skin;
shortness of breath; scalding, cloudy
urine; leg cramps; rheumatic pains;
dizzy headaches, are mostly always
sure signs of kidney trouble. They
often mean that the kidneys are not
properly filtering the impurities out of
the blood. The only way on earth to
permanently and positively relieve
such conditions is to remove the cause.
For this there is nothing better than
the recommendations made for Solvax,
the new, inexpensive and quick acting
kidney treatment. II goes straight to
the seat of the trouble and is designed
to dissolve the uric acid sediment that
is holding the kidneys from doing their
proper work. When a SolvaX starts
cleaning out the kidneys a complete
change is felt Immediately. The pains
disappear and the whole being bright
ems UP as if by magic.
Get package of SolvaX to-day from
one of the many reliable druggists
who have been appointed special dis
tributors throughout the country. Do
it now. Don't suffer another minute.
The SolvaX treatment is safe, mex
pensive and you can have your money
back il not satisfied with results. Al

MANY CASES Of
RHEUMATISM NOW
Says We Must Keep Feet Dry
Avoid Exposure and
Eat Less Meat.

Stay off the damp ground, avoid ex-
posure, keep feet dry, eat less meat,
drink lots of water and above all take
a spoonful of salts occasionally to keep
down uric acid.
Rheumatism is caused by poisonous
toxin, called uric acid, which is gene
rated in the bowels and absorbed into
the blood. 1t is the function of the
kidneys to filter this acid from the
blood and cast it out in the urine. The
pores of the skin are also a means of
freeing the blood of this impurity. In
damp and chilly, cold weather the skin
pores are closed, thus forcing the kid
neys to do double work, they become
weak and sluggish and fail to eliminate
this uric acid which keeps accumulat-
ing and circulating through the sys-
tenn, eventually settling in the joints
and muscles causing stiffness, soreness
and pain called rheumatism.
At the first twinge of rheumatism
get from any pharmacy about four
ounces of Jad Salts; put a Tablespoon
ful in n glass of water and drink be-
fore breakfast each morning for a
week. This is said to eliminate uric
acid by stimulating the kidneys to
normal action, thus Kidding the blood
of these impurities.
Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless
and is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia
and is used with excellent results by
thousands of folks who are subject to
rheumatism. Here you have O. pleas
ant, effervescent lithia- water drink
which overcomes uric acid and is bene-
fetal to your kidneys as well.-Adver-
tisement.

From the days when shoes were
either white, black or tan, to this sea-
son of bronze, Havana, blue, grey,
fawn, and scores of other shades,
seems a far cry, yet so quickly do we
adapt ourselves that it would be hard
indeed to have to wear the old-time
shoes for now each costume requires
special footwear to make n complete
whole. The Walk-Over Boot Shop,
226 Market street, is Offering a new
boot especially made for them in the
new sepia brown kid. Sepia is an
ultra-smart shade, deep and rich, and
looks especially well, not only with
brown costumes, but also with such
shades as bisque, Cafe au lait, and
many of the new shades of green.

inches high, with fourteen buttons and

that the well-dressed woman demands

full cut of the suit give it distinction
all its own. The coat has a jaunty
flare below the snug waist line, and
the collar too, flares high, supported
by a touch of the new silver embroi-
derry, which is so attractive when
used with blue. The suit is lined with
an exquisite silk lowered in pastel
shades, making a model of decided
charm.
