overworked shoulders the response
bilty of driving thru legislation.
Congress has been in session since
the "a day OF April, more than SIX
weeks, with the greatest war in the
history OF mankind on its hands and
but a single piece OF legislation has
been passed. that OF the S7,OOO,OOO,-
600 bond issue which was not IN ac-
tual fact legislation, but routine.
The espionage bill was one of the
first introduced in this session. and II
still is In the throes of debate amend
ment, conference and techniCalities.
The food control bill has been held
up about MS long and the war meas
ure. which is tying the hands and
feet of the war department was tossed
around for weeks.
Six weeks Of time, in six weeks OF
war, and but a single piece of legis-
lation passed is a record which
should forever shame the present
congress.
People Disgustcd.
II Is little wonder that the people
Of this country become dissatisfied
and disguised with congress and its
dilatory methods; and still little won
der that President Wilson is com
PEELED to interfere with the lcgisla-
i've uIIU'U vi lllf EuN 'l lllltilNs
He has waited patiently for some
leader to rise and put thru laws upon
which almost hang the balance OF the
stability of this republic, but he has
waited in vain, while useless debate
and ridiculous amendments are Of
fcred which, ii seems, the authors
surely know only tend to retard the
progress of action.
Not Leader.
Amendments have been rejected by
almost unanimous majority. and re-
considered and inserted by equally as
large majorities, and vice versa.
This can leave but one deduction
that congress is without proper lead
ership. without the slightest at
tempt to inject partsanship In this
story. it is a fact known TO all that
practically every Republican has re
solved his own mind into state of
peaceful acquiesence and is ready and
willing to follow an administration
leader who can drive thru admins
tration laws, but no such leader has
yet arrived on the scene.
The existing condition in congress
| is deplorable. second only in magni-
tude to the war itself.

WASHINGTON, May 21.-For
more than four years the American
congress has been run without real
leader. and from the personnel of the
present congress there is little like
lihood Of any development Of any
man who can rise above the common
plane to inspired generalship.
Strange, but prior to four years
ago congress was noted for its able
statesmen and leaders.
In every big national and interna-
tional question arising in the past
leaders have developed. But the
present congress, with more oppor-
tunity than any other for develop
ment on account of the momentous
questions, no man has risen above the
heads of his colleagues who had the
least resemblance to trustworthy
leadership.

4 Faulty Impression.

"The people of the United States
have a wrong impression in reference
to the Liberty loan. ! have noticed in
a great many papers, editorials and
otherwise. that the s7,000,0 600
Liberty loan. which will eventually be
sold to investors of the United States,
basing our population on one hundred
million, will be $40 per capita.
THE real facts are that it is no in
debtedness on people of the United
States. The money obtained from the
Liberty loan is being loaned to the al
lied countries at the same rate of in
terest that the Liberty loan bears.
While the United States will have an
Indebtedness of 1000 900. 900, on the
other hand. they have assets or ohli-
cations of the allied countries OF
1000 100000, bearing the same rate
of interest.

most optimistic feeling as to the out

yet no home is so humble that the practice of courtesies will not add to its comfort and happiness. A habit of politeness, of paying little grateful attentions to one another goes far to prevent discord in any family. Have we an unkindness or an injustice to remember? Something in which we might have added to this happiness or comfort? This adds to our bitterness Let sorrow for the dead make us more thoughtful to be kind. and give more of gladness to those left to us. Grieve we must, it is natural. But we should not let grief make Us forgetful of try ing to make happier those about us. Our grief is a flame to purify our hearts of dross.

THE GRACE OF LIFE.

The little courtesies of life are too often forgotten where it is most im- portant that they should be remem- bered, in the home and with ones own family. Polite attentions cost but a thought, but are often worth more than money. Some honest, hard working, good people appear to think politeness is for the stylish" only.

TO BENEFIT US ALL.

There is movement afoot in the city to have a general cleanup out of doors. Several of the ladies organ izations have taken the matter up. It is one which deserves the combined support of the general community.
 Throughout the long dark winter months much debris has accumulated around the various residence centers and the melting away of the snow leaves unsightly piles of ashes and garbage an eyesore and a menace to health.
 The greater portion of this has been gathered up on the call of the city health officer, yet, some remains-but not for long-for the first two days of the coming week will see united action in this movement.
 We cannot make Nome beautiful. That would be impossible! But we can certainly improve the appearance of our city quite little by cleaning up the aceumulations of a winter. To be healthy we have to be clean, and we can at least help the good cause along by deyot1ng a few hours and working in harmony to assist and to accomplish what is absolutely neces- sary for our own health and well being.
 Let us always remember that cleanliness is next to Godliness" and that a few hours light work under taken by everyone means the ab- solute protection of the health of the community as well as making ouf surroundings more pleasing to the eye and to the olfactory nerves.

PAINLESS CHILDBIRTH.

Any woman can be given the benefit
of the painless method by her family
physician in her own home. There is
no risk about it. 1t is safe and sane
and eficaeious.
Painless childbirth can be given with
out the aid of any instrument. Not even
a hypodermic needle is required. 1t is
so simple that women who have said
they could not believe it have, after ex-
periencing it, called it marvelOusly
easy.
Recently a young mother of five chill
dren, who had always been delivered by
a midwife, was given the painless
method. After the child was born she
had to be told of it, tho she had been
awake and conscious during the ent
proceedings. The only way she could
be convinced that the event had actu-
ally happened was to be shown the
child. She actually thot that labor had
just begun.
After pains, which had always trou-
bled her except when the first child was
born, were almost Of trifing importance.

was born, her first by the painless
method, the milk secretion arrived pain
lessly and so soon as the second day.
She was the happiest and most grateful
recipient of the benefits of the modern
and most humane painless childbirth it
has been mine to see.
Painless childbirth is for the poor as
well as the rich. The cost Of the drugs
is very little. Any doctor can admin
lister the necessary drugs without an
instrument of any kind in q few sec

of ease in q Whit or so of q well known

referred to in the preceding statement.
Early in labor just one tablet is put un-
der the tongue and allowed to be ab-
sorbed without any effort on the part
Of the lying-in woman. So great is the
power of painessness that the woman
sleeps without any nervousness between
the uterine eontraetions, which have
hitherto been known as pains. We must
not call them pains when this method
Is used. Near the end Of labor another
tablet may be required. Your doctor
