FOR JOINT CELEBRATION
BY FRANCE AND THE U. S.

The anniversaries of the signing of
the Declaration of Independence and
the taking of the Bastile should be
celebrated in France and the United
States at the same time, as both coun-
tries were actuated by the same SEN
timents: Love of justice, of freedom.
of humanity"
This is the message of the Union of
French Societies against Enemy Prop
aganda to the United States, cabled by
Paul Deschanel, speaker of the French
house Of deputies, and Ernest Lavisse,
member of the French Academy, pres
idents of the union.
More than one century has since
elapsed" the message said. Fidelity
to these noble sentiments has made
our two nations truly brothers. Once
this brotherhood shone on the battle
fields where we helped in conquering
your independence. Today it is you
who are coming to help us in defend
ing not merely our independence. but
that Of the human race"

"Major Fair Dinkum. "

From the San Francisco Chronicle.
The story of German spies moving
among our troops disguised in Ameri-
can uniforms recalls a tale told by
John Masefleld when he was in this
city. At Gallipoli the Australians
were frequently deceived by Germans
in British uniforms. One day man
posing as a major gave some orders
about not firing in certain region.
The Australian officer suspected there
was something wrong. and said: II
say. old chap, are you fair dinkum?"
Fair dinkum" is Australian for "on
the level" "Yes," said the German.
I'm Maj. Fair Dinkum." At the in
quest they found that he had died

Constructive Legislation.

'It was under the leadership of Sem

building program was enacted before
America entered this war. That con-
structive piece of legislation, radi-
cal departure from all precedents.
cannot be appraised at its true
value today Only when all the

are commissioned will the country
fully appreciate its obligation to Sem
ator Tillman and his associates. That
was his most lasting service. but was
only one of the many wise measures
enacted under his Craftsmanship OF the
Senate committee. The Navy in every
function had been helped by his in
terest and service. He knew all the
with all naval activities. He was be-
loved by every man in the Navy. and
in spirit all will be in mourning when
his body is laid to rest"

Accompanied by committees from
Senator Benjamin r. Tillman of South
Carolina, who died here early yester-
day, left Washington last night at
o'clock for Trenton, S. c.. where the
funeral will be held this afternoon at
4 o'clock. Services will be conducted
at the Presbyterian Church. where
the body will lie in state from the
time Of its arrival early in the after

In observing a request of Senator
Tillman, the funeral services will be
simple. None were held in Washing

Secretary Daniels was unable to &C
company the party, but sent as his

Destroyer Named in His Honor.
Secretary Daniels named new tor
pedo boat destroyer the Tillman in
honor of the late Senator Tillman,
member of the naval affairs commit
tee for nearly twenty-four years and
chairman of 1t for f1ve.
Secretary Daniels said in making
the announcement:
During these later years. in feeble
health, he has given himself unstint-
edly to the work of increasing the
Navy, often permitting his zeal to
overtax his strength. He died as truly
at post Of duty as an officer or sailor
in the war zone. Therefore 1t is fit-
ting that destroyer should bear the
name Of a loyal fighter. whose vic
tories strengthened the Navy.

CONTROL Of WIRES
LIMITED TO WAR
House Committee Votes Sub.
stitute for Resolution Fa-
vored by President.

Authority for President Wilson to
take over telegraph, telephone, cable
and radio systems was recommended
to the House late yesterday by the

To Seek Early Action.
Chairman Sims of the House COM
mittee submitted a report on the tele-
graph resolution at a brief holiday
session today. and said. he would en-
deavor to bring it before the House
as early as possible. Despite this.
however leaders declared that final
action on the resolution would go
over until after the recess unless
President Wilson asked for the adop-
tion before that time.
AS originally offered, the Sanders
resolution provided for relinquishing
of government control one year after
the war ends. but, in spite of pro-
tests from some members, the COM
mittee amended it to provide for con-
troll only for the duration of the war.
The resolution, as amended, follows:
Text of the Resolution.
THAT the President in time of war
is authorized and empowered to su-
pervise or take possession and as
sumo control Of any telegraph, tele-
phone, marine cable or radio system
or systems, or any part thereof. and
to operate the same in such manner
as may be needful or desirable for
the duration of the war, which su-
pervision, possession. control or op-
GRAFTON shall not extend beyond the
date of the proclamation by the Presi-
dent of the exchange of ratifications
of the treaty of peace: Provided that
just compensation shall be made for
such supervision, possession, control

THIN PEOPLE
SHOULDTAkE
PHOSPHATE
Nothing Like Plain Bitro- Phosphate 10
Put on Finn, Healthy Flesh and
to Increase Strength, vigor
and Nerve Force

Judging from the countless prepara-
tlons and treatments which are con-
tinually being advertised for the pur-
pose of making thin peOeple fleshy, de-
velopIng arms, neck and bust, and re-
placing ugly hollows and angles by the
soft curved lines of health and beauty,
there are evidently thousands of men
and women who keenly feel their ex-
eessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are usually
due to starved nerves. Our bodies need
more phosphate than is contained in
modern foods. Physicians claim there
is nothing that will supply this defi-
cheney so well as the organic phosphate
known among druggists as bitro-phos-
phate, which is inexpensive and is sold
by most all druggists under a guaran-
tee of satisfaction or money back. BY
feeding the nerves directly and by
supplying the body cells with the nee
esary ph0sphorie food elements, bitro-
phosphate quickly produces a welcome
transformation in the appearance; the
increase in weight frequently being
astonishing.
This increase in weight also carries
with it general improvement in the
health. Nervousness, sleeplessness and
lack of energy which nearly always
accompany excessive thinness, soon
disappear, dull eyes become bright, and
pale cheeks glow with the bloom of
perfect health.
CAUTION = Although, bitro-phos-

nervousness, sleeplessness and general
weakness it should not. owing to its
remarkable flesh growing properties, be
used by anyone who does not desire to
put ON flesh.

Hot Water for
Sick Headaches
Tells why everyone should drink
hot water with phosphate
In It before breakfast.

Headache OF any kind, is caused by
auto-intoxication--w which means self
poisoning. Liver and bowel poisons
called toxins sucked into the blood,
through the lymph duets, excite the
heart which pumps the blood SO fast
that il congests in the smaller arteries
and veins of the head producing yio-
lent, throbbing pain and distress, called
headache. You become nervous, de-
spondent, sick, feverish and miserable,
your meals sour and almost nauseate
you Then you resort TO acentanilide,
aspirin or the bromiaes which temper
arily relieve but do not rid the blood
of these irritating toxins.
A glass of hot water with teaspoon
ful Of limestone phosphate in it, drank
before breakfast for awhile, win not
only wash these poisons from your sys
tom and cure you OF headache but will
cleanse, purify and freshen the entire
ahmentary canal.
Ask your pharmacist for a quarter
pound Of limestone phosphate. 1t is in
expensive, harmless as sugar, and al
most tasteless, except for sourish
twinge which is not unpleasant.
If you aren I feeling your best, if
tongue is coated or you wake up with
Aad taste foul breath or have colds,
Indigestion, biliousness, constipation
or sour, acid stomach, begin the phos-
phated hot water cure TO rid your sys-
tenn of toxins and poisons.
Results are quick and 1t is claimed
that those who continue to flush out
the stomach, liver aud bowels every
never have any headache or
know a miserable moment.

STRUGGLE FOR VENICE

Austro Hungarians, Hindenburg will
risk even more if he does not come to
the assistance of the Hapsburgs at this
critical time.
Failure of the Austro- Hungarian of.
fensive TO capture Venice would have
so serious an influence upon the anti.
German movement in the dual monarchy
that Hindenburg is once more involved
in a major crisis.
No military system has discovered the
secret of perpetual motion. Yet, that
is what Hindenburg is trying, first in
France, then in Italy, soon, perhaps,
to revert to France again. If he rests
his war machine too long il will fly
to pieces. Yet, rest must come sooner
or later, through exhaustion.
