AS WE GROW OLDER

our minds are quite as active. as in
former years but our strength does not
respond when we needit most; perhaps
the kidneys are weak, the liver torpid,
rheumatic pains or stifened joints
beset us, and we cannot easily throw
OFF the colds that winter brings.
What we need is the rich cod liver oil
in SCOTS Emulsion to renew the blood
andcarry strength to every organ ofthe
body, whileitsglycerine soothes the res
piratory tract and its hypophosphites
strengthen the excitable nerves.
SCOTS Emulsion is a scientific oil.

Its worth. No alcohol or harmful drugs.

HOUSE TO SPEEDUP
SUGAR REPEAL BILL
Plans to Rush Through Measure
Restoring Duty, Fearing
Delay In Senate.

House Democrats plan to rush
through the bill repeating the free
sugar clause Of the Underwood tariff
law.
The repeal proposal probably VIII
be up TO the Senate within the next
ten days. Speedy action was decided
on by tho House leaders because II is
feared the legislation will be held up
In the Senate.
With the approval, OF Democrats Of
tho Ways and Means COMMITTEES, the
repeal,bill has been introduced. Plans
arc under way today for caucus to
give It the party o. X. II Is essential
that the repeal be made law before
May 1.
House leaders have heard that Sem
ator Hardwick, of Georgia, Will OPP
pose the repeal of the, free sugar
Ollie James and other Democratic
Senators. The fact that the Ways AMI
Means Committee Democrats have re-
solved to repeal, rather than suspend.
the free sugar provision. makes Sem
ate opposition more likely, II Is said.
The Democrats OF the lower body
do not want to run any risk Shat the
prevailing sugar tariff. about one
cent per pound. will lapse on May l.
the date the free sugar clause would
become operative.
1t is figured that spectators in New
York and elsewhere would bring In
large importations of sugar free of
duty, IL the repeal were not passed.
with the result, that the spectators
would make large profits and the
Democrats lose revenue.
The plan Is that a caucus of the
House Democrats shall be called
promtly and the free sugar repeal
bill put through under a special rule.

Senator NewIands Loses Con-
test to Block Construction Of
the Building.
LOBBY PROBE SUGGESTED
New Measure to Propose Inter-
ruption Of Operations Until
Further Inquiry.

Senator Newlands, for the time being.
lost his fight in the Senate to block the
construction OF the proposed central
heating and power plant on the site
chosen by the Treasury Department at
fourteenth and Water streets.
BY a vote OF a to q the partial con-
Serence report on the urgent deficiency
bill was adopted. after a discussion that
lasted all afternoon.
Senator Newlands will press the mat
ter further through a separate bill in
tended to halt the construction OF the
examined into by the President ana
other officials. The question Is now
before the Library Committee.
Reads Letter From Wilson.
A favorable report on. the bill 10 ex-
pected. A number of Senators yester-
day took the view that the entire
urgent deficiency bill ought not to be
tied up because of this one matter. On
a separate bill. some of them would
support Senator Newlands. 1t was indi-
Gated.
The most important development OF the
long debate yesterday afternoon.
which ThiSlan was IsrtisSrated in by Senator's
MARITIME and others. was the reading OF
q letter from the President by Senator
Martin. The President informed him
that he did not object either to the site
or TO the erection of tho bulldog on II.
Mr.. Martin suggested that the Po-
tomac Electric Power Company was
back of the opposition to the plant,
though he declared he thought Senator
Newlands was acting from a sense of
duty. He declared the emissarios Of
the Potomac Electric Power Company
had been about the Capitol soliciting
opposition to establishing any plant
He said he did not want the ADVICE
CT this company on the matter. Sem
ator Newlands complained OF the re-
marks OF Senator Martin. which he
eaid reflected on those who favored the
measure. Mr.. Martin disclaiued any
purpose TO reflect on Mr.. Newlands.
Suggests Lobby Inquiry.
Senator Gallinger said he believed no
ether site could be found In Washing
ton as free of objections as the water
front site. He said he had received SO
many letters and kilograms protesting
against the power plant that he Thought.
perhaps, the Senate Lobby Committee
should investigate.
Senator Phelan. once mayor of San
francisco. and an authority on NUM-
clpal questions. opposed the construc-
ton of the plant, and supported Sem
ator Newlands. He maintained the law
had not been. complied with, and held Il
would be unfortunate II Congress should
make mistake In a matter involving
the beauty of tho Capital.

SUGGESTS CHANGE
IN STOPPING POINT
South Side Of Clifton Street
Pointed Out as Proper for
Fourteenth Street Cars.

Suggestion that northbound Four
teenth street cars stop on the south
side instead OF the north side Of Cliff
ton street is made by Harry Ward
man in a letter received by the Public
Utilities Commission today.
hr. Wardman says the south side stop
would be more convenient for persons
living in Clifton street east and would
lessen the danger OF automobile acci-
dents. Many drivers. he states. not be-
ing familiar with the point at which the
cars stop. endeavor to cross Fourteenth
street under the impression that the cars
stop at the south curb line.
