LETTERS TO EDITOR
Get Ready First

To the Editor of The e-Herald:
 It was with some surprise that I noted that The Age-Herald had come out openly advocating annexation of Mexico. Not that do not believe the same as The Age-Herald. but that I consider open advocacy of such a thing at the present time extremely unwise. There is no doubt that, in or der to follow our policy of the past 70 years to a logical conclusion it will be necessary that we assert our su- premacy. not over Mexico alone, but over the whole North American con- tinent. However. before we can fol- low out this policy it will be neces- sary to so strengthen our land and na. val forces that we will be able to meet in battle all our South American neigh bors, Japan and possibly an European power in alliance with them. The pres ent democratic Congress and adminis- tration has shown very little disposi- tion to prepare us for such an emer- gency and it would be a good idea to wait with our "big stick" talk until we have something to back up that talk. Yours truly,
 JOHN KAUFMAN.

q Was Bound So Fast to Bed I Couldn't Move Without Help" Says
 Mrs. Hawkins
IN BETTER HEALTH / NOW THAN IN IS YEARS
Baby, Who Was Almost a Little Skeleton, Is Now as "Fat as a Pig" and Plays Sn Its Pallet With
 out a Whimper

'T was down in bed and couldn't raise my head or move without help and now I'm able to do all my house. work, even to cooking and garden work and I weigh more than I have in IS years, and have been taking Tan lac only about four weeks" said Mrs Dollie Hawkins. wife of a well known carpenter, residing at 1906 Second ave- nue, south, Birmingham, in her state. ment oh last Friday.
 For many years," continued Mrs. Hawkins. "I have suffered with rheu- matism in my shoulders. arms and in my sides and neck. and I had ndiges- tion, too, in it's acute form. The rheu matism got me down in bed and had me bound so hard and fast somebody had to move me about and the pain was terrible. I couldn't so much as lift my little 6-months-old baby, and we had to hire someone to wait on me \ and do my work l was so nervous and full of pain the least little thing dropping on the floor would startle me and my heart would almost stop beating, and the only way I could get any sleep and rest was from hypoder- mics. I had indigestion so bad l couldn'et eat any solid food at all, and I was so thin and weak and in such rundown condition that my baby fell off until it was just a little skeleton and fretted and cried all the time eX- cept when it was given something to make it quiet. My condition was too awful to try to describe it all. No kinG of treatment or medicine did me any good and I was getting worse all the time and I don't know what I would have done if it hadn't been for Tanlac
 "A good friend of mine advised me to try Tanlac and if ever | medicine did wonders for anybody Tanlac did 1t for me and my little baby. I felt bet ter in just few days after I began taking it. I could eat something and sleep better and my baby showed inn provement almost as soon as I did have taken three bottles of Tanlac and I'm not nervous in the least now and my sleep is fine and rests me so much My awful rheumatic pain and misery is all gone and I don't need the ser want anymore. I can eat anything want and my food not only gives me nourishment but my baby is as fat as little pig and sits for hours at time on pallet and plays without whimper. It has been a long time since I felt as strong and we'll as do now and as I have already said I weigh more than I have before in IS years. Tanlac has made we'll woman of me and fat. healthy baby out of my little sickly one and I uon't know any better way to tell what wonder full medicine it is than that. I'm just so thankful for what Tan1ac has done for us want everybody to know about this great medicine"

 The appropriation for relief of de- pendent families of drafted guardsmen was stricken out by vote of 45 tc 30 after an all-day debate. Under the provision substituted the Secretary of War would be authorized to excuse from service on their own applications all militiamen who have families de- pending on them for support. Twenty one democrats and nine republicans voted to retain the million dollar ap- propriation The resolution itself was adopted without a roll call.
 Senator Sherman of Illinois offered an amendment Just before the final vote was taken incorporating in the resolution virtual declaration of war against the de facto government of Mexico. The proposal was tabled on motion of Chairman Chamberlain, but not until the Illinois senator had arr raigned the Senate for delay in prepar- ing for eventualities in Mexico.
 q am weary of listening to mere form of worlds" Senator Sherman de- clared. Congress should declare here and now that state of war exists between the United States of America and the de facto government of Mex ico It is the acme of idiocy to inquire of a man what his purpose is after ne shoots you in the face"
 Senators Hitchcock. Reed, Lee Of Maryland and Lewis defended the pro- vision for a relief appropriation and Senators Chamberlain. Stone. Williams, Thomas. Gore and others spoke against it. Senator Lewis declared that if any set of men were responsible for the failure of the United States to be pre- pared in the present moment it was the pacifists. who by teaching that war was over. had made it impossible for members of Congress to appropriate money for adequate defense. Senator Stone predicted that pecuniary relief for the guardsmen would make "de- generate sons of noble sires.'
