everyday walks of life, it is the spring
time that brings i'll health One of the
chief reasons why the rundown man
finds himself in bad state of health In
nearly all his hours for the past four or
five months penned up within the walls
of house, factory or Office. 1t is the rea-
son for our diminished resistance-that
is, lack of outdoor life, coupled with
perhaps over-eating, lack of good exer-
else, insufficient sleep, and constipation.
In other words, we keep feeding the
the "clinkers," and our fire does not burn
brightly. Always keep the liver active.
There is nothing better for health than
taking an occasional mild laxative, per-

more than fifty or sixty miles to where
we can take to the water"
They made better time on the west
ern slope, but the journey became a
matter of sheer endurance. Food was
scanty-flour and salt and tea; with
meat and fish got by the way. And
the black flies and mosquitoes
swarmed about them maddeningly day
and night.
So they came at last to the Skeena,
and Hazels heart misgave her when
she took note of it's swirling reaches,
the sinuous eddies-a deep, swift,
treacherous stream. But Bill rested
overnight, and In the morning sought

to hew. Slowly the thick trunk
shaped itself to the form Of boat
under the steady swing of his AK.
In week it was finished. They
loaded the sack of gold, the bundle of
furs, their meager camp outfit amid
ships, and swung off into the stream.
The Skeena drops fifteen hundred
feet in hundred miles. Wherefore
there are rapids, boiling stretches of
white water in which many good

these they ran at imminent peril. Over
the worst they lined the canoe from

of July they brought up at the head

them, sluice box cut through old
stone, in which the waters ragged with
deafening roar. No man ventured
into that wild gorge. They abandoned
the dugout. Bill slung the sack of
gold and the bale of furs on his back.

them possessors of another canoe, and
an hour later the roofs Of Hazelton

urgent deficiency bill was adopted BY
the House. Similar action win be
taken BY the Senate probably tomor-
row 50 that the bill can be sent with
out further delay to the President
During the debate In the House An
angry squabble arose over the Presi-
dents appeal for the election Of a
Democratic Congress. Il was brought
about By the Insertion Of the message
in the Congressional Record By Con-
gresham Helm OF Alabama under n
''leave to print" granted to him sew
eral days ago.
When the attention Of the House
was called to Helms breach OF the
extension Of remarks accorded 10
him. Speaker Clark ruled that the
House rules had been violated BY
Helm and that he had no right to
make the Presidents statement part
of his remarks A number Of men,
bers on the Republican side demand
ed that the statement be expunged

point Is made that the gentleman from

being to make II frankable.

PRESIDENT ISSUE,
SAYS SEN. PITTMAN

do the American people approve
of the Presidents program for
democracy and lasting peace through
out the world, and will they give him
the support necessary to enforce such
a program
'Do the people OF the United
States approve Of the progressive
principles of democracy established
under woodrow wilson's Admins
tration, and will they support him in
maintaining such principles in the
reconstruction that must follow in
the nited States after the WARP
These are the two dominant issues
n the present cleo ion campaign, in
the, opinion Of Senator Key Pittman
Of Nevada The conduct Of the war
cannot be an issue. he says. The real
issues between the Democratic party
and the Republican party, according
to the Senator, have been made by
the Republican leaders upon the floors
Of Congress and in the public forum.
They relate to the future conduct
Of our Government In peace read
justments abroad and at home" SEN
ator Pittman declared. They arise
from the opposition Of Republican
lea@--s to the Presidents program
for = lasting world's peace after this
war, and to his attitude toward re-
constructive legislation in our own
country when peace shall have been
declared and conditions become nor
nal" l
These issues are OF momentous i'm
portance to the people of the country,
the Senator believes, because "the
war has been practically won and the
great and vital task of readjustment
Is about to try the patience, justice,
and diplomacy OF the statesmen OF the
world, led by our own President"
The German people will bowsto the |
altimatum Of Woodrow wilson," the
Senator predicts and will "depose the
Hohenzollern family, srelegate to OBJ
security the militarfsts. and estabilsh
democracy based upon universal |
suffrage. They viii accept such |
