DIZZINESS is ANNOYING
AS Many Fitzgerald People Know
Too Well

When the kidneys are weak or dis
ordered they fall behind in filtering
the blood of poisons.
AS these poisons attack the
nerves, the result is felt in spells of
vertigo, just as drunkenness will
make man dizzy from the poison
ing of alcohol. Dizziness, headache,
backache and bladder ills are all signs
OF weak or disordered kidneys and
should not be neglected. Use Doan's
Kidney Pills, the home-endorsed kid
ney remedy. Read this Fitzgerald

Worries of a Housewife.

Women are given to worry more than
are men. When anything threatens
to worry man, he finds solace in the
little brown jug, says Zim in Cartoons
Magazine. But women cannot look ad-

abandon. They are not built that way.
AS near as can make out, 1t is a
difference in temperament. Woman
is more highly organized than man.

LEWIS TALKS PEACE
 AND KING ANSWERS
 HIM WITH V|GOR

Washington, July 23.-Senator Lewis declared in the Senate today that in his opinion the recent speech oi Dr. Michaelis, the new chancellor of Germany, was direct invitation to the United States to use its influenne for peace. He said he believed the central powers would be willing to ac- cept peace without victory.
 T interpret it to mean that the more asking for peace by the allies would be the occasion for Germany agreeing to discuss terms" said he
 Senator Lewis said he believed that the speech was peculiarly directed to the United States" and added his opinion that it,was not written by the chancellor.
 Senator McCum Der observed that the chancellor's references to continued use of the U-boat to bring the allies to their knees did not Took like an offer of peace"
 Does the senator take into consid- eration,' inquired Senator Borah, that which seems to be the big question, the future form of government in the Ger. man empire?"
 Senator Borah said he did not be- lieve that Germany had yet reached the point where she would permit outside influences to dictate her form of gov ernment.

 WRITES A PROTEST
 AGAINST M|L|TANTS

Washington July 23-The National As sociation Opposed to Woman Suffrage to- day made public a letter from Mrs. James W. Wadsworth, it's president, to President Wilson. protesting against the picketing of the White House by suffragists of ths woman's party and declaring that the pickets were justly sentenced to 60 days in the workhouse.
 AS loyal American citizen and a life- long resident Of the District of Colum- bia,' wrote Mrs. Wadsworth. "I wish to protest against willful and persistent dis regard for law and order systematically displayed by the members of the national womans' party
 Your action in pardoning the Is women sentenced to OccoquanS was one of elem eney, and not of justice It was a proof of your tolerance and magnanimity and showed your appreciation not so much of womans rights as of her duty
 Mrs. Wadsworth wrote that the Is wom- en went to the worlzhouse rather than pay a fine ito gain the notoriety and publicity of such an action and then, with a transparent mental dishonesty that is almost inconceivaole in persons of nor- maj intelligence they advertised their martyrdom to the cause of suffrage.
 Is it wise to fan the flame of class jealousy by allowing the deportation from the state Gin cattle cars) of undesirable citizens in one section of the country and permitting women of wealth. family and position to violate the laws and go unpunished in another? And not only un- punished but actually demanding what they consider a reward for their miscon- duct?

 Ut is my conviction" the Illinois senator said, that already inflTenccs have been aroused in Germany which will cause great domestic reforms"
 Tn a spirited reply Senator King of Utah declared it folly to discuss peace and contended Dr. Michaelis speech was not susceptible to Senator Lewis construction.
 "It was tribute to Bethmann Holl- veg" said Senator King, ian indorse- ment of the policy of blood, cruelty, rapaeity and wickedness which has characterized the German prosecution of the war. It indorsed the ruthless submarine policy and boasts of it's in- famous success. 1t seems to me that the senator in a desire to seek peace has been intent on reading into the speech sentiments never expressed by the Gern@.n chancellor.
 ''We are in this fight to win and will not talk peace until Germany sues for peace and rights the wrongs and no more of peace, but fight to win this war for democracy and the world"
 Senator Lewis, in a brief reply, said:
 Surely the senator does not mean he is in favor of continuing the war if Germany is willing to make peace on our terms or those of the allies"
 Continuing the discussion, Senator Phelan of California, assailed former Senator Works of that state for pub lished statements that the war is q disgrace and pretense in the interests of munitions manufacturers"

MT. Lever and other House leaders are understood to be ready to make a de- termined fight against the provision, which was voted into the bill near the close of the long Senate debate. House leaders also are planning to oppose viz control board of three members instead of one administrator, and there were many indications that in this likewise they would have the Presidents unquali- fled backing.
 MT Wilson wrote to Representative Lever in response to a letter promising to hasten the food bill through confer ence and asking advice on the war com mittee provision. The Presidents reply follows;
 PRESIDENTS LETTER
 "I am very much obliged to you for your thoughtful courtesy in stating to me the circumstances of the present ac- ton on the food administration bill and I am particularly obliged to you for call ing my attention to section 23 I deem it my duty to express my opinion about that section and its effect upon the whole administration of the war very frankly indeed, since the public interest mani festlyN demands that I should do so.
 Section 2S Is not only entirely foreign to the subject matter of the food ad- ministration bill in which it is incorpor- ated but would, if enacted into law, rem der my task of conducting the war prac- tically impossible. I cannot believe that those who proposed this section scruti- nized it with care or analysed the effects which it's operation would necessarily have. The constant supervision of execu- tive action which it contemplates would amount to nothing less than an assump- ton on the part of the legislative body
The Birmingham age-herald., 1917-07-24

of the executive work of the adminis- | tration.
 There is a very ominous precedent in our history which shows how such a su- pervision would operate I refer to the committee on the conduct of the war con stituted by the Congress during the ad- ministration of Mr. Lincoln. It was the cause of constant and distressing harass- but impossible.
 DOES NOT QUESTION T am not, I beg you. to believe, in any | way questioning what might be the mo- tives or the purpose of the members of such a committee. I am ready to assume that they would wish to cooperate in the
 most patriotic spirit but cooperation of 1 that kind is not practicable in the cir
 cumstances The responsibility rests upon
 the administration. There are abundant
 existing means of investigation and of the l effective enforcement of that responsi- bility. I sincerely hope that upon the | reconsideration of this matter both houses of Congress will see that my objections rest upon indisputable grounds and that 1 could only interpret the final adoption
 of section 23 as arising from a lack of confidence in myself.
 The section objected to by the Presi- dent was embodied in an amendment in troduced by Senator owen, democrat, to take the place of a similar proposal by | Senator Weeks, republican. It was adopt ed by the Senater, 53 to 31, after brief l debate. Briefly. it would create com mttee of five senators and five represen- tatives to ascertain just how contracts were being let and money spent in the | lPOndnpt n of thp and tO renOrt to Con- gress whenever it so desired. | The President and the executive de- partments, under the provision. would be compelled Ito keep said committee fully advised as to such expenditures and con- l tracts" and the committee could com 1 pei attendance of witnesses ins such in- quiries as it chose to make.
