BACkSLlDlNG SENATE
Washington, March 5.-Pres. Viii
son wants quick action by U. S. SEN
ate to change rules and permit rapid
passage of armed neutrality" meas
Ure when he calls extra session of
congress to Te-intrOdUce bill.
Admitting that his hands are tied
by ancient statutes which forbid him
arming merchant vessels and taking
other means Of protecting American
rights, president is relying on sen
ate to act "and save the country
from disaster"
In bitter eXcOriatiOn of 'the little
group Of wiIfUI men, representing no
opinion but their own" who fIibust-
cred neutrality bill to death, presi-
dent has declared 'the great govern
ment of the United States" is in a
helpless and contemplate" position
before the world.
By studied filibUster, led by Sen.
LaFolette, II senators kept the SEN
ate from passing the bill giving the
president power to arm American
ships against U-bOat attacks. Sew
enty-eight senators had signed a de-
claratiOn declaring they were in IA
vOr Of the bill and seven others i'll or
absent were known to favor its pas

were able to override the will of the
majority and prevent the bill from
coming to a vote before the legal
hour for the session to end.
The president will call an extra
session of congress just as soon as
the senate, now in extra session, acts
upon changing the rules of unlimited
debate.
In his formal statement denounc-
ing the II fIibusters, Pres. Wilson
called present danger greater than at
any other time in history of nation.

BRITISH UNDERSTAND WHAT
WILSON IS UP AGAINST

London, March 5.-For first time
British press and public today seem
fully to understand complex position
Pres. Wilson faced because of SEN
ate rules permitting filibustering.
Consequently comment reflected a
more sympathetic attitude toward
the American executive and his
problems than at any time in recent
weeks.
The eleven senators who blocked
passage of armed neutrality bill were
universally execrated for 'thwarting
the national will"
British newspapers were chary at
suggesting a way out" for Wilson,
but most of them seemed content to
leave problem in his hands, profess
ing belief that American people were
behind him in whatever he did.

Uric Acid
Eradicated
(By DR.. N. G.. COOK \

A poison as dangerous as strychnin
is manufactured within our own body,
called uric acid. When it accumulates
in the body and the kidneys fail to
carry it off, we suffer from dull head
ache, sleeplessness, muscular pains,
lumbago, or it may cause rheumatism
or govt. The uric acid can be seen in
the cloudy sediment in the water
what is called the "brick- dust" noted
on the sides of the vessel containing
it-after few hours standing. The
water is scant, high-colored, strongly
acid, and this should be a danger
sign, and if not taken in time, by
cutting out the meat, tea and alcohol,
may end in rheumatism or govt.
Drink plenty of water between meals
"a pint of hot water half an hour
before meals-and take Anuric (dou-
BILE strength. This was first dis
covered by DR.. Pierce of the Surgi-
cal Institute in Buffalo, N. Y, and is
harmless to the system, but sure and
effective in carrying off the uric acid.
1t stimulates the kidneys and helps
them to carry off the uric acid pois-
on. Anuric can be obtained at al
most any drug store, and helps to
counterfeit the acidity of the system.
A blockade in the intestines piles
a heavy burden upon the liver. If the
intestines are choked or clogged up
the circulation of the blood becomes
poisoned and the system becomes
loaded with toxic waste, and we suf-
fer from headache, yellow-coated
tongue, bad taste in mouth, nausea,
or gas, acid dyspepsia, languor, de-
bility, yellow skin or eyes. At such
times one should take pleasant laxa-
tive. Such a one is made of the May
apple, leaves of aloe and root of
jalap, first extracted and put into
ready-to-use-form by Dr. Pierce
nearly fifty years ago, and sold by
all druggists as DR.. Pierce's Pleasant

FARMERS PLAN TO
RAISE CANE CROP
Move to Intensity Forage
Products by Using Same
Fields Twice Each
Season.

Many farmers are planning TO plant
cane and millet for hay this summer in
their oat fields after the oats crop
has been harvested according to
Henry G. Windheim, manager OF the
Nebraska Seed company OF Omaha
at has been proven" said Mr.
Windheim, that good crops OF hay
may be harvested from cane and
millet fields soon after the oats is
cut. The farmers disc the oats stub
bic and SOW the crop as soon as they
can get into the field after the oats
has been taken off This year, with
the demand so heavy for foodstuffs
and forage of all kinds to carry the
live stock through, find more farm
ers than ever determined to raise this
double crop on their fields.
Bulletin is Stimulant.
Since the University of Nebraska
College OF Agriculture issued the
poster a few weeks ago showing
what crops may be sown for forage
in the winter killed alfalfa fields, the
demand for seed of the various for
age crops has been very brisk. "The
price OF seed, OF course, has been
high" said Mr.. Windheim, "and to
some extent this has retarded the
demand, but the price OF seed has
been no higher in proportion than
the price of all other grains and
farm products"
Cane Seed Sells Readily.
Cane seed has sold readily, as this
makes heavy forage crop and makes
it quickly. Millet seed has sold
readily also, as this produces heavy
hay crop on small acreage. Kaffi
corn has been selling quite freely
also. Alfalfa seed has been in big
demand as the, farmers are anxious
as soon as possible to get their
acreage of alfalfa fields up to nor
NAL again, since they have discov-
cred the patches winter killed. In
some instances they reseeded the old
fields. In other cases, however, they
plowed these up for corn and seeded
new fields, as the old alfalfa fields
are usually too dry to start a new
seeding of alfalfa. Alfalfa is recog-
nized as great absorber Of mois-
ture from the soil.
MANY farmers are also planning
to SOW rape in their stubble fields
after the harvest" said Mr.. Wind
helm. They can do this by merely
discing the fields. 1t has long been
a practice of some farmers to sow
rape in their corn fields when they
lay by the corn. More of this will
be done this year than ever before, /

Cocoanut Oil Makes
A Splendid Shampoo

If you want to keep your hair in
good condition, be careful what you
wash it with.
Most soaps and prepared shampoos
contain too much alkali. This dries the
scalp, makes the hair brittle, and is
very harmful. Just plain mulsihed
cocoanut oil (Which is pure and en-
tirely greaseless), is much better than
the most expensive soap or anything
else you can use for shampooing, as
this can't possibly injure the hair;
Simply moisten your hair with
water and rub it in. One or two tea
spoonfuls will make an abundance of
rich, creamy lather, and cleanses the
hair and scalp thoroughly. The
lather rinses out easily and removes
every particle of dust. dirt, dandruff
and excessive oil. The hair dries
quickly and evenly, and it leaves it
fine and silk, bright and fluffy and
easy to manage.
You can get mulsihed cocoanut oil
at most any drug store. 1t is very
cheap, and few ounces is enough to
last everyone in the family for
