KISSLESS COURTSHIP;

Chicago. March 5.-Kissless court
ships We're advocated by DIR. Charles
j. Kurtz, in an address yesterday, on
How to choose a wife," delivered TO
young men at the north side Y. M. c.
A He told his hearers the way to
propose was not will you be mine =
but Are you willing to be the mother
of my children?" Before propounding
this question, he said, the young
woman should be studied and intellect
should be love instead of sentimental
impulses.
The young men surrounded Dr.
Kurtz after his lecture and piled him
with questions. He maintained his
position that they should not think of
holding hands or of kissing their girls,
until after the engagement had been
announced.

KEEP LOOKING YOUNG
It's Easy-H You Know D..
Edwards Olive Tablets

The secret of keeping young is to
feel young-to do this you must watch
your liver and bowels-there's no need
of having a sallow complexion-dark
rings under your -pimples-a bill
ious look in your face-dull eyes with
no sparkle. Your doctor will tell you
ninety per cent of all sickness comes
from inactive bowels and liver.
DR.. Edwards, wel1-known physician
in Ohio, perfected a vegetable COM
pound mixed with olive oil to act on
the liver and bowels. which he gave to
his patients for years.
Dr. Edwards Olive Tablets, the sub
stitute for calomel, are gentle in their
action, yet always effective: They bring
about that exuberance of spirit, that
natural buoyancy which should be en-
joyed by everyone, by toning up the liver
and clearing the system of impurities.

if an enemy were at our gates it would
| be possible for a few members of this
senate to prevent action on the need
ed measures to meet that enemy"
When the senate session ended at
noon, the big crowd that had filled
the galleries, filed out with mutterings
and head ShakinES- The senators and
a large group of members of the
house who had watched the dramatic
ending of the session from the floor
made their way from the chamber in
ominous silence. Both Democrats and
Republicans plainly showed their per-
turbation and there was none of the
usual end-of-the-session Sayety.
Five minutes after the senate ad-
iourned, the great chamber was
empty, and large majority of sena-
tors both Democrats and Republ:-
cans, sought an opportunity to demon
strate that they were prepared to sup
port the president Several stopped
at the presidents room where the ex-
ecutive was signing the bills passed
just as the session closed, to assure
him OF their support
Sign Historic Document.
The unprecedented manifesto,
placed in the senate record by SEN
ator Hitchcock during the excitement
of the final session, was drawn up
and circulated to demonstrate that
the senate would have passed the
authorization bill if the filibuster
could have been broken. For the flrSt
time in history the senate, was placed
on record as TO legislative proposal
which could not be voted on seventy
six senators, Democrats and RepuDll-
cans, signed the historic document.
ContraSted to the grave and solemn
perturbation which marked the clos
ing senate session was a patriotic &C.
monstration as the house drew to the
end of the congress. A great American
flag lowered from one of the house
galleries evoked a scene such as the
house chamber has seldom witnessed.
The 400 members of the floor and the
crowded galleries Joined in out
burst of cheering which resounded thru
the capitol Then from the speakers
gallery rang out a woman's voice in
the stirring Star Spangled Banner and
the whole assembIage Joined in the
singing. America, Columbia the Gem
of the Ocean were sung as the hands
of the clock slowly reached the hour
of noon. Fifty members crowded into
the well of the house and shouted the
national songs with a will.
