generally to war functions. Those
who continued their opposition to the
finish have based their attitude on
the argument that the bill confers
unnecessary autocratic powers on TIE
President and is unconstitutional.
Administration leaders championed
the measure consistently and would
not agree to any amendments limiting
the Presidents authority During the
long fight son1e Democrats thought
concessions would have to be made
They found, however, that the Presi-
dent insisted upon passage of the bill
without substantial change from the
form in which he sent it to Senator
Overman, of North Carolina, last Feb
ruary, after the Senate military com.
nittee virtually had decided to recon-
mend legislation for war cabinet
and munitions director as the result
cf it's war inquiry.
The only amendments added in The
Senate were accepted by Senator
Overmar in charge of the bill. One
by Senator Wadsworth, of New York
Republican, would authorize the Pres

kAIsER'S FRIENDS ARE PAWNs

Sweden now sees the true kaiser
 Since the war began Sweden and Norway have done what they could to help Germany. Their boats have been sunk in the submarine warfare, but their loyalty to the Germans was not changed. At times it looked as if they might join Germany in the war, and British sea power, it is believed alone kept them from taking this step.
 Now the kaiser has stolen Finland. Sweden was robbed of Finland in 1909 and she would like to have the prov 1nce again. Germany has also actu- ally seized the Aaland islands in the Baltic from Sweden.
 The swedes should learn and recite what Shakespeare had to say on the subject of ingratitude.
 The kaiser has policy" and foes and friends are nothing but pawns in the game that he plays.

QUEEN NICOTINE IS POPULAR
 NOW

Queen Nicotine has stood great deal of abuse in the world. But she has absorbed punishment as though she had been trained for it.
 Many hard words have been said against her; but while her friends were as many as the sands of the sea, in their thoughtlessness they did not defend her unless it was to write a short poem to the curling smoke or to indite a paragraph to the solace that good cigar imparts to the heart of a man.
 Now the advocates for the defendant are many. and their laudation is heard on every side.
 The soldier writing from France is as quick to complain about poor French tobacco as about the scarcity of bath tubs.
 The officer arriving in Paris goes to the railroad station and finds his trunk missing. It cannot be located and he gives 1t up for lost.
 Does he complain about the loss of
The Cordova daily times., 1918-06-24

|
 Ifs s27 boots and of his $45 extra uniform? Perhaps he does, provided that trunk is not the one that con- tains all of the supply of tobacco that he took across with him.
 Queen Nicotine is courted on every side; many of her former accusers now do not hestitate to give to the tobacco fund; there are none left to drive her forth.
 And after all what is there that gives a man so much satisfaction as a few fragrant leaves of the weed in pipe or cigar?
 It harms the health? A little, per haps, but there are things in life more precious than hours, and an intimacy with Queen Nicotine is one of them, smokers believe.

WALKING FOR HEALTH

AS long as man has two legs and open thoroughfares he never need lack the meanse of getting invigorating ex- ercise.
 People do not walk as much as they used to. They are too busy, or rather, they asume that they are.
 r If you are one of those who have given up walking for recreation and exertion, try walking part way home after your work Test out your lungs puffing up some of Cordova's grades. You may find your breathing appar- atus so Wheezy that you will decide to walk every day to get back some of the wind that you have lost in the course of the years.
 Set stiff pace for two miles to your door. When you get there you will feel peter or worse In either case the result will show that you should keep it up. If the brisk exercise makes you feel worse-nervous, tired you may take it for granted that you are actually in a pretty bad state and that unless you take more exer- else and develop the proper stamina you are likely to be enumerated some morning among the increasing number of business men who pass away pre- maturely in their prime.
 When a person really walks, with legs, body, and arms, the whole sys- tenn is given employment and the eff fort is wonderful stimulation. Take it up if you have no other form o1 exercise. and it will keep you iron getting old before your time.
