Washington, April u. The admln-
istration won its first victory in its
battle to line congress up for its way
of conducting the war with Germany
Following a somewhat lengthy session
of the ways and means committee of
the house, that body unanimously
agreed to favorably report the bond
and certificate issue bill carrying with
it an issue of $7000,000000. The Re
publican opposition, which manifested
itself in demand for additional facts
regarding the necessity Of such an enor-
nous credit faded away and the
Representative Rainey announced that
the measure would be taken up and
undoubtedly passed on Friday. s
President Is Unhampered.
The bill as reported provided for an
issue of S5,000,000,000 in bonds and
$2,000,000,000 in certificates of in
debtedness, the latter to be redeemed
within one year. Both bonds and cer-
tiicates bear 31a per cent INTEREST,".
Bonds heretofore authorized but not
sold for the acquisition of the Danish
West Indies, the construction of the
armor plate and nitrate plants; the
Panama canal, the speeding up of the
naval construction, the Alaskan rail
way and the MeXicap mobilization, at
an interest of 3 per cent, can be con-
verted into 31a per cent bonds. Under
the terms of the bill the president and
the secretary of the treasury are alb
soutely unhampered in making loan
of $3,0O0,0O0,0 900 to the entente allies
as the securities which are to be pur-
chased are not stipulated. The presi-
dent is only directed to acquire "the
obligations of foreign governments" in
an amount not to exceed three billion
dollars
The bill also authorized an addition
al bond issue not to exceed $S3, ,945, AGO
to redeem the 3 per cent loan of 1908
to 1915, maturing August l, 1916. The
remaining bonds specified in Section 4
of the bill are already authorized by
law. a@
"Your committee" said the report
deemed 1t advisable to authorize the
$5,000000,000 bond issue at this time
in order to enable our government to
extend liberal credits and in order to
provide Immediately ample funds to
meet such expenditures as are author
lied for the national security and
defense"

Old Looks :?
(BY DIR. L. H. SMITH)

Persons suffering from too much uric
acid in the system frequently look older
than they should. They age faster ana
the appearance Of gray hair or paid
head in early years is, indeed, often q
sign of uric acid. The face appears
lean and haggard, lines and wrinkles
appearing in young men or women.
The best way to combat this prema-
ture age and the obstruction to the
arteries and faulty circulation IS Oh the
simplest: Drink copiously Of pure water
between meals. This will not make
you fat, as it is only the water taken
with the meals that fattens. Obtain at
any drug store a package Of Anuric,
double strength, which is to be taken
before meals, in order to expel the uric
acid from the system. The painful eff
fects of backache, lumbago, rheuma-
tism, govt, due to uric acid in the blood
should quickly disappear after treat
ment with Anuric.

AIR DRAINAGE IS ESSENTIAL
No Farm Crop Can Endure Wet Feet
If Land Is Not Worth Draining
1t Is Not Worth Keeping.

Air drainage is as essential as soil
drainage. It Is not always the high
places that are free from frost. Ere
quently there are pockets among the
hills where crops and fruit suffer late
in the spring and early In the fall from
the ravages of the frost despot. On
low lands there also seems to be places
which frost apparently avoids at IN
seasonable times. These locations have
well-established boundary lines which
are known to people of the community.
No fruit can endure wet feet. This
principle obtains in all farm crops. If
your ground is not worth tile draining,
it is not worth keeping, much less es-
tablishing it to fruit.
