(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, Dec. IS. The house postoffice com mittee today favorably re- ported a bill prohibiting the mailing of liquor advertise ments to any except licensed liquor dealers or agents. This legislation is aimed at the mail order liquor business in dry territory.
 The federal mails are being used to trasmit liquor adver- Using and solicitation of or ders to millions of men, wom- en and hildren, many of them residing in states which have outlawed the liquor traffic and many of them resident in homes where conscientious conviction classes the traffic in liquor with the traffic in vice, the practice of thievery and the most loathesome forms of industrial parasit- ism.
 Advertising and solicita- ton so transmitted is intend ed to create a demand for al coholic liquors where such demand did not previously exist, to provoke the appetite where existent, and to under mine the American prejudice against the table use of such drugged drinks. By the com pulsion of suggestion, it con- verts the abstainers into drinkers striving to cease the habit. This is admittedly an evil to the citizen and a men, ace to the social welfare.
 By the use of the mails this suggestive force is being brought to bear upon the ab- stinent classes of American society in order that they may contribute drinkers to the pa tronage of the liquor trade. The Hollister Distilling Com pany of St. Louis, solicited

Bound to Make Good.

The well-dressed stranger stepped
into the drug store and, passing by
the boy who usually attended to casual
customers, approached the proprietor,
who was arranging some goods in the
show case.
"Mr. c., I presumed" he re-
marked, pleasantly, and the druggist
turned and bowed gravely. II have
heard my friend, Mr.. Quorn, speak of
you Often" said the brisk nan "He
told me if ever l needed anything in
this line to come to you. He spoke Of
you as a man on whom one could rely
with perfect confidence, who had only
the best Of evrything and with whom
it was always a pleasure to deal"
"Mr. Quorn is very kind" answered
the other, beaming with qualification.
HE is one of by best customers. What
can l do for you this morning?"
"Well-er-this morning, as it hap
pens" said the stranger, with just a
little briskness, "this morning I should
like, if you will allow me, to consult
your directory"
Certainly" was the calm reply. "We
also have a good selection of one and
two-cent stamps as well as railway
time tables, if you need anything of
that kind"

Franklin Objects Seriously.

She isn't very large, that's true, but
being a county seat, and Boosting of
a college, several factories, -four mills,
railways, interurbans and her lately
acquired Masonic home, Franklin feels
that she is not a town to be passed
lightly by, in fact, she knows her i'm
portance, and thought that everyone in
the state realized it until she was
taken down q bit lately. During the
big conference Of the Methodist
churches held recently in the town a
meeting Of the indianapolis presbytery
was in session at the same time at
HopeWell, a country church in a pros
porous farming community a few
miles out. One Of the Presbyterian
delegates, on leaving the train Joined
in the throng headed for the Method
list church. When it came to regis
tering, some of his inquiries caused
someone to suggest that probably he
was in the wrong place, and he asked
innocently: isn't this H~opewell?'.
"No, this is Franklin" was the proud
reply.-lndianapolis News.

Don't Neglect Kidneys
SWamp-RO0t, DR.. Kilmer's Prescrip-
ton, Overcomes Kidney Trouble

It is now conceded by physicians that
the kidneys should have more attention
as they control the other organs to a re-
markable degree and do a tremendous
amount Of work in removing the poisons
and waste matter from the system by
f~ltering the blood.
The kidneys should receive some as
s~istance when needed. We take less ex-
e~rcise, drink less water and often eat
more rich, heavy food, thereby forcing
the kidneys to do more work than nature
intended. Evidence of kidney trouble,
such as lame back, annoying bladder
troubles, smarting or burning, brick
dust or sediment, sallow complexion,
rheumatism, maybe weak or irregular
heart action, warns you that your kid
neys require help Immediately to avoid
more serious trouble.
An ideal herbal compound that has had
most remarkable success as a kidney and
bladder remedy is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root. There is nothing else like it. 1t
is DR.. Kilmer's prescription used in pri-
vate practice and it is sure to benefit you.
Get a bottle from your druggist.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer 4 Co., B~inghamton, N. Y, for a
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper. ADV.

presently. viii Immediately assume,
has indeed already assumed, a magni-
tude unprecedented In our experience.
We have not the necessary instrument
talides for its prosecution; 1t is
deemed to be doubtful whether they
could be created upon an adequate
scale under our present laws. We
should clear away all legal obstacles
and create a basis Of ~undoubted law
for it which will give freedom without
permitting unregulated license. The
thing must be done now, because the
opportunity is here and may escape us
if We hesitate or delay.
Porto Rico,s Needs.
The argument for the proposed
amendments of the organic law of Por-
to Rico is brief and conclusive. The
present laws governing the island and
regulating the rights and privileges of
its people are not just. We have Gre
ated expectations of extended privi-
lege which we have not satisfied.
There is uneasiness among the people
of the island and even a suspicious
doubt with regard to our intentions
concerning them which the adoption of
the pending measure would happily re-
move. We do not doubt what we wish
to do in any essential particular. We
ought to do it at once.
There are other matters already ad-
vanced to the stage of conference be-
tween the two houses of which it is
not necessary that I should speak.
Some practicable basis of agreement
concerning them will no doubt be found
and action taken upon them.
Inasmuch as this is, gentlemen, prob
ably the last occasion l shall have to
address the Sixty-fourth congress, 1
hope that you will permit me to say
with what genuine pleasure and salts
faction l have c~o-operated with you in
the many measures Of constructive pol
icy with which you have enriched the
legislative annals of the country. 1t
has been a privilege to labor in such
company. I take the liberty of con-
graduating you upon the completion of
a record Of rare serviceableness and
distinction.

INDIAN NJ FOR WARsHIPs
United States Navy Be Called
After Famous Red Men.

A correspondent of the New York
Times advocates Indian names for
United States warships. "How to
name the ships of our vastly extended
navy is an interesting question. A
glance down the list of the names of
Il naval ships does undoubtedly give
the impression that they had been ac-
cepted by a weary man as a choice of
evils
1T seems to me that from the men
of the race longest identified with u
history-the noble red men-and from
their tribes, most BETTING titles could
be found for applying to our warships.
From early childhood the lives Of the
foremost Indian chieftains have in
spired intense admiration in Ameri-
cans, They are the ideal embodiment
of the greatest naval battle prowess
of their time.
"What names could imply the idea
of indomitable fighting force in the
American mind equally with Powha-
tan, the powerful sachem Of Virginia I:
or Pontiac, "the Red Napoleon" chief
Of the Ottawas; or Tecumseh, chief
Of the Shawnees, or ~(Shawanoes) and
celebrated fighter, diplomat. and ora
tor; or Black Hawk, noted warrior
chieftain Of the Sacs and Foxes"

Irwin Cobb, the war correspondent,

an authors banquet in New York.
A deaf man sat next to Cobb. Far
Their down the table another man told
a funny story, and when he finished,
the deaf man laughed and applauded
louder and longer than any of the
rest.
"Good old boy" shouted the deaf
man. ''That reminds me of a story" he
added to those near by.
Get up and tell it, Charlie" cried
several. The toastmaster sanctioned
the suggestion.
Then the deaf man got up and told
the same story the other man had told.
