SOME PLAIN BUT NEEDED
WORDS

Senator Overman, Of North Caro-
lima, in charge of the bill to give the
President authority to re-orgAnizc
government departments, did som :
very plain, but needed talking to Ser =
aiors when putting his bill through.
Senator Hoke Smith, of Gcorgi :,
had asked if Senator'S were obliged
to trust the President with the Fed
eral Reserve Board and the Inter
State Commerce Commission. Sena-
tor Overman replied:
"No Senators do not trust him, but
implicit trust in Woodrow Wilson.
You may get up on the floor and de-
nounce him and denounce the mis-
takes of the administration, but it
goes into deaf ears, because the people
of this country know him, they know
his patriotism, they know he is try
ing to do right, and when he asks this
authority from Congress they know
you ought to give it to him. They
are standing behind him, and the
Senate is going to stand behind him."
Notwithstanding the varioui
amendments offered to the bill it wa
passed without change and as pro-
posed by North Cardinals able Sena-
tor.
On the final passage only one De-
mocrat mustered sufficient courage to
vote agains. the bill. That vote was
cast by Senator Reed of Missouri.
Like the typical Missourian, he
wanted to be shown" and as there
were only twelve Republicans voting
AS did Senator Reed, making an un-
lucky thirteen, Mr.. Reed got his
showing and that is all he did get.
Even the two Georgia Senators
who opposed the bill, voted for it or
the final passage, Senators Smith and
Hardwick coming across reluctantly,
but coming all the same.

is 1T YOUR KIDNEYS7
Don't Mistake The Cause OF Your
Troubles.

Many people never suspect their
kidneys. If suffering from lame,
weak or aching back they think that
it is only a muscular weakness; when
urinary troubles set in they thing it
will soon correct tself. And SO it is
with all the other symptoms of kid
ney disorders. That is where the
danger often lies. You should rea-.
ize that these troubles often lead to
dropsy or Bright's disease. An effec-
tive remedy for weak or diseased kid
neys is Doan's Kidney Pills. Resi-
dents Of this vicinity are testifying.
Mrs. Rebecca Weatherly, Fleet St.,
Bennettsville. s. c., says: II had
dull pains across my back and was
very sore and lame. I tired easily
and didn't feel like doing my house
work. was distressed by dizzy
spells and my kidneys acted irregu-
larly. Doan's Kidney Pills soon re-
lieved the backache and other kidney
disorders"

ROGERS WAS UNABLE TO
MOVE WITHOUT HELP
GIVES TANLAC CREDIT FOR
WORKING GREAT CHANGE
FOR HIM
SPEAKS TO THE PUBLIC
Declares He Quickly Was Changed
From Almost an Invalid to a
Vigorous Man

From a condition from which he
suffered so that he had to be helped
around, Ora H. Rogers, of 1909 Kos
suth St., New York, was changed into
vigorous man who could walk miles
without having pains.
Because of this remarkable bcne-
it, Mr.. Rogers said, 81 praise Tan!ac
,bovc all other medicines, because"
IS he publicly stated, "Tanlac worked
the change"
Mr.. Rogers statement is so int r
esting and hold such encourag ament
sor others that it is given wo d for
word.
81 suffered from rheumatism and
pains so bad that l often had to be
helped when I walked across the
room," he declared. "That was only
few weeks ago, and now I can
walk miles without suffering any
pains.
81 will say right here" he continu-
ed, that rheumatism and stomach
trouble are about the worst things a
man can have. had pains down my
legs and through my body. had to
sit down for hours, but this only gave
me little relief.
81 tried many medicines, but not
| one of them seemed to do ME a par
ticle of good. I kept hearing such
good reports from people of what
| Tanlac was doing for others that I
decided to give it a trial. The first
| bottle gave me some relief from those
dreadful pains in my legs and back.
"As l kept on with Tanlac began
to feel like a new man. The pains
passed away, could go anywhere I
wanted, and, as I said, travel miles
by myself. You can imagine how I
felt to finally find a medicine with
such merit as this onderful Tanlac.

TRYING HIM OUT

81 gave that youngster of mine a
toy printing press, steam engine, u
xylophone. a box of paints, and some
other things to find out whether his
tastes were artistic, mechanical, liter
ary, or what-but the test didn't
work"
"Why, what did he do with them?"
Smashed them all up"
"Why, man, it's as clear as day
he's going to be a furniture mover"

Why do we call one-third Of yard
foot?
We inherited the foot measure
from the English. The ancient fore
fathers of the human race, it seems,
were not very careful people. They
were satisfied to measure with their
feet, although all human feet were
not Of one length then any more
han now. King Henry | tried to
standardize measurements by pro-
claiming that the yard measure
should be the length Of his own arm
md that the foot should be one
bird Of that length. That helped
1 little; but the English system Of
measurements is very poor compared
20 the modern French metric system.

FLED FROM ARMoRED CARS
Bedouins in Wild Confusion When
the British Forces Made Use
of Tanks" In Desert.

The appearance of armored cars in
the desert struck terror in Senussi
hearts, and the whole country was soon
covered with men and camets trek
king off to the southwest. On getting
through the camp the cars went on in
dependently, shooting all loaded camels
and men within reach. Two of these
camels carried mixed loads Of petrol
and high explosive shell. The per-
forated petrol cans caught fire, and the
shells exploded, which made the camp
followers fall on their knees, beat the
ground with their foreheads, and call
on Allah's aid.
1.-THE Turkish gunners stuck to their
guns like good men. When we passed
them without killing them they turned
round and continued firing at US, so
that we had to go back and finish
them," one of the officers told me. The
cars collected three mountain guns and
nine machine guns with a quarter mil
lion rounds of small-arm ammunition
and several boxes of shell. Two OF
the cars stood by all night to protect
the captures, and the remainder re.
traced their tracks to Sollum, to find
our infantry in occupation. The Sc,

cency. He was courageous enough to
analyze his reasons and he did not
conceal the result from himself.
He wanted Eleanor with all the pent-
up longing Of the denied years In the

passion that he had ever felt, and yet,
strangely for man of his years, 1t had

Twice Cited for Bravery.

To have been cited by the French
for bravery twice since his arrival in
France In January is the record Of
Professor Stephen 81. Rush of the
University of Iowa. In the wake Of
the first official announcement came a
lengthy cablegram with the details of
his second citation. Courage and ten
acity in bringing in wounded over ex-
posed places" were conspicuous on the
part of Professor Bush, who is work
ing for the Y. NJ. G. A. with the Mo-
roccan divisions.
The cablegram further declares that
the French are devoted to Professor
Bush and the other 7. NJ. G. A. work
ers in his division and are gaining a
high opinion of Americans through con-
tact with them" Professor Bush is

and he had found the desert more COM
panionable.
One night he felt at the end of his
powers. That was after u grilling day
In the war Office, one of those days
that sometimes come In Washington
toward the middle of September, when
everything is as sticky as the asphalt
sidewalks.
1t had been a day of evil portent be-
sides. Colonel Howard, who had
seemed of late to reflect Eleanor's
coolness in some measure, had greeted
him with a wry face when he came in.
''The DEVILS to pay. Mark" he said.
Draw up your chair. There's a leak
age in the department"
"What?" cried Mark.
Things are getting known-for in
stance, our dealings with the shipping
people. They've found the exact num-
ber of ships we've requisitioned. You
know whom mean by they"
Mark nodded. The cosmopolitan in
fiuences in Washington, whose ramif-
cations extended to the ends of the
earth, or, at least, across the Atlantic,
were busy in every drawing room ex.
tracing news, the tiniest and least re
liable of which was not despised, since
muny such single items make up a CO
herent story.
"The Brigadier's wild about it." con.
tlnued the Colonel, pulling at his mus
tache. "And 1t seems impossible to
detect how the leakage occurred. II
must have been through the shipping
companies, Of course yet they couldn't
have pieced the thing together without
concerted action, which is out of the
question. Let's go through the pa
pers."
They opened the safe and went
through them one by one, but nothing
was missing.

-Four years since I've seen her." he
mumbled. 'I didn't want money. Only
the word. God knows wouldn't have
taken money from her as he said, the
cur"
"Was she your wife?" asked Mark,
thinking that he saw light.
GOD Forbid" CALCULATED the man
with convincing spontaneity. "Who
are you, anyway" he demanded, look
ing at him directly for the first time.
What were you doing in that placer"
He grasped Mark by the arm. "Are
you another friend Of hers?" he asked.
"Or didn't you know that it's the SWELL
est gambling house In Washington?
Mark took him sby the shoulders.
Whats your name and where do you

waste on you, but Tn ready to help
you If can."

fool like me for her? Where the car

Mark drew the mans arm through
his and led him away. Presently a
cab came crawling up. He hailed ii
and gave his address.
He took him home and played the

subsided into a state of frightened 81
lence. He looked dubiously at Mark
all the while he was receiving his min
istrations, and would say nothing.
"Now; please understand" said
Mark, I've brought you here because
you seem to me to be up against it.
The doors unlocked. And I'm trusting
you with my things. Those cups are
silver, Hartley won them at West
Point. That little picture Is by Griffin
and worth about seven hundred. That's
about all, think-but ] vant you to
understand you're free, and I'll help
you if I can"
Hartley flushed rather oddly, Mark
thoughc, but said not word. 1t was
foolish act, he thought repeatedly
before he fell asleep; but he must win
the mans confidence IL he was to learn
the mystery. And he was satisfied
that his interest in Eleanor's move
ment boded no harm to her.
In the morning, Hartley was gone,
as he expected. But he had taken nei-
ther the cups nor the picture.

Coal and its products were not al
ways so popular as they are today,
Alexander Findlay, Welsh chemist,
reminds US in his book, ''The Treas

'"The introduction of coal, especially
as domestic fuel, was for a long
time regarded with disfavor," he
writes. "Even in the seventeenth CEN

the part of the nice danes of London
who would not come into any house or
rooms where sea-coales were burned,
nor willingly eat of meat that was Ell

of the atmosphere by smoke and Of the

to discover 1t. It's outside; it isn't
our business to locate it. We're doing
our part-what more can we do?"
"Come along and tell the Brigadier

Mark, nothing loath, accompanied
him to the Generals room. But the
