ENGLISH AS SHE IS SPOKE
Doctors Instructions Evidently by No Means as Explicit as He Had
 Meant Them to Be.

An said the North Illinois street doctor to the patient, as he examined his arm, it is only q boil, and you couldn't have a boil anywhere else that would give you less trouble, ex- cept-"
 Except where?" asked the patient.
 Except when it's on the other fel- low" and the doctor laughed heartily at his timeworn joke.
 Now, all you have to do," said the doctor, lis to take this prescription to the druggist. He'll give you little plaster. Place the plaster above the bcil. and it'll draw the boil to a head in jiffy."
 Two days later the patient presented himself again to the doctor. Nc good, doc" he said, it didn't draw to a head. and it's worse than ever"
 Why. man." said the doctor. the plaster isn't on the boil at all. It's two inches above it."
 Well, you told me to place it above the boil"
 Did I? We'll, l meant for you to place it over the boil Next time I'll be more explicit in my instructions. Indianapolis News.

DIFFERENT FACE ON MATTER
Debtor Willing to Pay Bill When He Knew Who Would Be the Ulti-
 mate Recipient.

A very angry client entered New York lawyers office. He had called upon a debtor and asked him politely to pay bill of two dollars and half, and had been abused for his pains. Now he wanted the lawyer to collect it.
 The lawyer demurred. The bill was so small that it would cost the whole amount to collect it.
 No natter" said the angry one. 'I don't care if l don't get cent as long as that fellow has to pay it!"
 So the lawyer wrote the debtor let ter, and in a day or two the latter ap- peared in high dudgeon. He did not owe any two dollars and half, and he would not pay.
 Very we'll" said the lawyer; then my instructions are to sue. But I should hardly think it would pay you to stand a suit for so small sum-"
 Who will get the money if 1 pay it?" asked the man.
 The lawyer was obliged to confess that he should.
 Very we'll" said the debtor; that's another matter. If Smith isn't going to get it l am perfectly willing to pay it."-Youth's Companion.

 Mrs. w. J. Himmelberg. 6S0 Lynch St., writes-'I recommend Vap-O-Rub to all mothers with small children. l tried it on my children for colds. sore throat, tonsilitis, and burns. and it certainly gave us great results"
 Mrs. J. T. Shepard, 4221a No. 9th Street. writes-"My husband had a very sore throat, as he has had sew eral times before, and always hitherto he has had to have 1t lanced; but this time he used Vap-O-Rub and was cured without any trouble"
 Vick's comes in salve form and when applied over the throat and chest the body heat releases the ingre- dients in the form of vapors. All night long these vapors are inhaled with every breath through the air passages to the lungs, loosening the phlegm and taking out the tightness and sore- ness.

FLOOD CONTROL IS
 WARMLY DISCUSSED
SENATORS RANsDELL AND NEW LANDS ESPOUSE THEIR
 FLOOD VIEWS.

Washington. - Speaking earnestly water power bill, Senator Ransdell of Louisiana and Senator Newlands ot Nevada clashed in friendly collo. quy involving the question of flood control, each advocating distinct sys- tens for flood control and prevention along the Lower Mississippi.
 Senator Ransdell had displayed on the east wall of the chamber colored charts, furnished by the United States Weather Bureau, showing the areas in which the rain falls which causes the floods in the Mississippi Valley.
 Senator Ransdell showed that the rains responsible for the floods in 1912-1913 and in 1916 fell entirely in sections of the country where land values are too high to permit of their use for reservoir purposes. The re- turns from the weather bureau showed that the rains responsible for these great floods were not on the barren hills of the headwaters of the rivers leading to the Mississippi. but in the great agricultural belt of the Middle West, where little land is available for less than S150 an acre, and great tracts are held as high as S250 an acre.
 In defense of his plan, Senator New lands declared that. not one but many reservoirs were to be constructed Nf his idea of slowing up the waters Tn their course from the clouds to the Gulf of Mexico. He said senators from the South seem to be opposed to any plan that contemplates doing more than beneflting their own To- calities.
 To this Senator Ransdell replied that he is more than an sious to see a competent commission make study of the plan set forth in the bill of she senator from Nevada, and that he will be more than willing to support any part of it that is found feasible when it's findings are laid before Congress. His objection heretofore has been to the fact that a plan, which he con- siders impra .ticable. contemplated holding up the building of a perma- nent levee system along the Lower Mississippi while an effort was being made to hold the flood waters back with reservoirs. He referred to one estimate showing that Lake Erie, GOV ering an area of 10000 square miles, contains only as much water as passes Memphis on its way 70 the gulf each 24 hours.

children's Colds, They Say. Should Be Treated Externally - Internal
 Medicinss Are Harmful.

Tn our previous advertisements wo have published letters from mothers in Kansas City, St. Jo.. Joplin, Spring field and other Missouri cities. These ladies agree that internal medicines injure the delicate stomachs of the little folks, and they recommend the use of the external treatment-Vap-O- Rub. From large number of letters from St Louis women we will give just few extracts.
 Mrs. K. Petranich, 2900 Park Ave, writes-"Last winter when l had a bad cold l applied vap-O-Rub over my chest and throat covering with warm flannel cloth. had almost instant re- lief, and believe 1t better than inter- nal medicines for cold troubles"

COMPLETE VICTORY
 WON BY PRESIDENT
CHANCE TO AMEND M'IEMORE RESOLUTION LOST BY A
 VOTE OF 276-142.

Washington. President Wilson completely and decisively won his long and sensational fight to compel Congress to acknowledge that it stands behind him in the submarine negotiations with Germany.
 To the rallying cries of Stand by the president" and "Is it Lansing and Wilson, or Von Bernstorff and the kaiser?' big Democratic majority and nearly half of the Republicans in the house rolled up overwhelming votes against the movement to warn Americans off the armed ships of the European belligerents.
 The McLemore resolution, around which the anti-administration forces centered the fight, was tabled-in other words. killed-just as was the Gore resolution for a similar purpose in the Senate last week.
 From the outset of the fight today the presidents supporters, without re- gard to party, swept over the opposi- tion. On the first vote, which was a parliamentary proposition to prevent opening the McLemore resolution to | amendment and unlimited debate, the administration forces won. 256 to 160. On that 192 Democrats, 63 Re. publicans and one Progressive voted to support the administration Twen. 1 ty-one Democrats, 132 Republicans. five Progressives. one Independent and Representative London. the lone So- cialist, voted against 1t.
 This was the crucial vote. the one point on which administration leaders were uncertain. With victory in hand. they moved on to the next proposition. the adoption of special rule for four hours discussion of the McLemore re- solution. Again they carried the day, this time 271 to 13S, and then pushed their victory to a conclusion by tabling the McLemore resolution. 276 to 142
 In seven hours of tense turbulent session. in which administration op- ponents charged that the president is contending for doubtful legal right and is shifting the responsibility ot
 
 the house swayed back and forth fin the most sensational congressional spectacle of a decade
 President Wilson. calm and conn., dent. heard the early results of the voting in the cabinet room at the White House with some of the cabinet members about him. He told them he was much gratified
 Released from the embarrassment forced upon him by the dissensions Tn Congress. which have been represent ed in foreign capitals as indicating that he is making his demands on Ger many in direct opposition to the sem timent of representatives of the peo- pie, President Wilson now is prepared to go on with the submarine negotia- tions with the Teutonic powers.

Unusually Heavy Vote Cast

Topeka, Kan, Aug. 2. - With a
vote cast which political leaders and
