the promise accorded him by Charles

Many died OF scurvy, and some fell

Always Something New

"Of making many books there is no
end" complained the preacher, and
did not perceive how highly he was
praisiug letters as an occupation,
There is no end, indeed, TO making
books or experiments, or to travel, or
to gathering wealth. Problem giyes
rise to problem. We may study for
ever, and we are never as learned as
we would. We have never made a
stature worthy Of our dreams. And
when we have discovered a continent,
or crossed n chain of mountains, it IS
only to find another ocean or another
plain upon the farther side. . Even
in a private park, or in the neighbor-
hood of a single hamlet, the weather
and the seasons keep so deftly chang
ing that although we walk there for a
lifetime there will be always some
thing new to startle and delight u.s.

SENATE READY
To RENE VI PEACE
TREATY FIGHT
Attitude on All Sides Is Con-
ciliatory
ALL WANT SETTLEMENT
General Disposition to Throw Politics
Aside and Work for Definite
Conclusion

Washington, Dec, 17.-EXpressions
that seemed to point toward a reopen
ing of the peace treaty fight within
few weeks we're voiced on the Senate
for today when the subject bobbed up
in the midst of consideration Of the
railroad bill.
The symposium of views that went
into the record during the brief de-
hate included opinions from virtually
all factions of the divided Senate
membership, but they all struck
note of Cancellation. Differing widely
in their suggestions for a solution,
thew stood together on the general
proposition that politics ought to be
forgotten and that the Senate, acting
independent Of executive opinion,
ought to do something promptly to
end suspense and establish a state OF
peace. .
Tht discussion reacted the trend OF
negotiations which have been inpro-
gress privately among Senators for an
agreement that would get the ques-
ton finally out OF the Wy There
were increased activity in that direc-
ton during the day and some OF the
leaders predicted some formal action
early in the new year.
Senator Knox OF Pennsylvania. a
leader in the irreconcilable Republi-
can group of treaty opponents and a
member of the foreign relations COM
mittee, brought the subject to the
floor by another attempt to get before
the Senate his two resolutions to es-
tablish state of peace. The effort
was blocked, but he obtained unani-
nous consent to send the measures to
the committee. where he expects to
renew his request for action

MANY FAIRIES IN GREEN ISLE
Idea That the Gnomes Have Dis
appeared ls Declared to Be
Altogether Erroneous.

There still are fairies in Ireland, de-
plains by saying: To many, perhaps,
this statement will be really news. OF
course, anyone who has never taken
any interest in the matter at all knows
that In the days gone by there were
plenty of them from one end OF the
green isle to the other-are not their
old haunts, the thorn bushes, their
Taths, forts. coves and souterraines
still TO be found in every corner Of
ireland just as they have existed
since time out of mind?
But it has been the general BELIEF
that the fairies themselves long ago,
in one fashion or another, had for
saken or been driven from their Sc
cret places, the last heglra being
placed at as modern period as the
middle of the nineteenth century-the
night of the big wind, In fact when
they were all supposed TO have been
blown into the sea with the exception
of n few that landed in Scotland.
The error of that belief, however,
has been scientifically ascertained in
series of Investigations pursued by
Miss Elizabeth Andrews, f. Il. A. l.,
for n decade or so.
The belief is general" Miss An
drews says, that these little people
were at one time very numerous
throughout the country. but have now
disappeared from many .of their for
mer haUnts. At Ballynahinch l was
told they had been, blown away so
years ago by n great storm, and the
caretaker ut Killevy said they had
gone 10 Scotland. They are, however,
supposed still to inhabit the more re-
mote parts of the country, and the old
people have many stories OF fairy Wis
itors and of what happened in their
own youth and in the time Of their
fathers and grandfathers."

Preparing for Influenza

This dread disease seems to be
creeping in again and the doctors and
nurses and health authorities are busy
making preparations to handle it.
1t Is thought that if people would
take the trouble to build themselves up
and get in good rugged, physical con-
dition they would have much better
chance of escaping this dreadful cpl
demic.
If you are weak and tired out and
rundown and unable to take the neces-
sary rest to bring yourse into first
class condition, probably you had bet
ter take Iron Lax-Tonic which seems
to be an especially effective combina-
ton for just such cases. There is the
laxative which keeps the system free
from all waste material and then there
is the invaluable iron in form easy
to be taken up fer the benefit of the
blood and general strength. There are
a good many preparations containing
iron in one fC I'M or another but only
one Iron.LaxTonic Pill The package
bears the name of the druggist who
originated it, j. T. Lantagne, and
many grateful people acknowledge its
Dement'S
For example, Mrs. Hugh Cornell,
who lives at 148 Vernon street, Wake
field, Mass, stated, 81 was troubled
with gas on the stomach indigestion
and poor appetite. I could not sleep
we'll which made me more or less
nervous. / had no strength, no color
and now after taking three bottles of
Iron-Lax- Tonic, | feel entirely differ
ent. l feel myself gaining all the
time. am telling all my friends about
Iron Lax-Tonic and what it has done
for me.
Now is the time to take Iron Lax.
Tonic and get yourself in tirst-class
condition. If you get yourself strong
and vigorous you will have a much
better chance of warding off dangerous
diseases.

frcm White House Since
Last May
READY FOR ALL OPINIONS

Washington, Dec. 1S.-President VIII
sons mind is still open on the Ques-
ton of returning the railroads to pri-
vate control, Secretary Tumulty yes
terday told a delegation representing
union labor and some farmers organ
izations which called at the White
House to present a letter asking the
executive tc delay return of the roads
for two years
This was the first authoritative ex-
preston on the subject which had
come from administration quarters
snice the President informed Congress
last May that he planned 10 relinquish
federal control by January l. The
President. Mr. Tumulty said, would
be glad to get the views of the labor
and farmer representatives who insist
ed that fair test of government oper-
alton in peace time should be given.
While the delegation was at the
White House, the Senate was speeding
up consideration Of the Cummins rail
road bill and apparently was nearing a
vote after more than a week of de-
bate. Under the measure the roads
would be returned to their owners
within thirty days after the bill be-
came a law, but there was no prospect
that final enactment of any railroad
legislation would be completed until

PERFUME is COMING BACK.
Toilet Accessory of Cave Woman-she
Extracted It from Flowers

Perfume, so essential to mylady's
toilet, which in many cases was en-
tire dispensed with during the war,
is now coming again into vogue more
than ever. and in Paris. London and
New York perfume dealers have in
preparation many new and exquisite
perfumes.
The making of perfume Is almost as
old as the wcrld itself for even the
cave woman in her crude way found
means to extract the perfume from
flowers which she found growing
near her humble abode.
1t was in Persia, however. that per-
fume making received its first real
development Later the priests in
Egypt. who were the sole repositories
of science in ancient days. and who
knew the secret of aromatic substan-
ces devoted a great deal of time to
the snanufacture of perfume. These
perfumes acquired great celebrity, es-
pecialy those made in Alexandria.
They were at first reserved for re-
ligious rites and ceremonies only but
subsequently became of current use
among the wealthy classes.
Cleopatra was an artist in the use Of
perfumes and each room in her pal
ace had it sown individual perfume
During banquets the perfume was di-
fused through the halls and burnt
in profusion.
The Israelites, during their sojurn in
Egypt adopted the use of aromatic
substances, primarily for religious
purposes, and afterward for personal
use The Greeks, who loved elegance,
We're very fond Of perfumes and they
taught tn secret Of manufacture to the
Romans In the days Ct their de
cadence the Romans committed
thousand tolies with perfumes, and
they went so far as to scent the coats
of their dogs.
The women Of Rome used it pro-
fusely, and Poppaec Amounted her fea
lures with a paste formed of barley
flour diluted with perfumed oils. The
Romans were not content to use mere
ly the perfumes of the orient-aloes,
myrrh incense and nard-they also
made perfumes similar to those of the
present day-secnts Of lilies, laven-
der, roses and thyme,
In the Middle Ages the Arabs, Vene-
tians, Genoese and Florentines be-
came famous fer their preparation of
understanding essences. France did
not become acquainted with perfume
until after the Crusades and it was
Marie de Medicis who especially
brought them into favor Makers of
perfumes quickly recognized thir good
or bad medicinal influences
1t was remarked in PaBs and Lon
don during the cholera epidemic in the
last century, that no one engaged in
the making Of perfumes was ever at
tackled by the disease. On the other
hand, it is claimed that the scent of
flowers had a marked action on the
vocal chords.
While London and Paris have here
tofore led in the manufacture of ex-
quisite essences, New York is fast
looming up, and there is every indl-
cation that American manufacturers
VIII soon lead the world in the pre-
paration of the finest perfumes that
can be made.

A plan was presented to distillers
here today by representatives OF
steamship line operating service out

to Cuba, and America and Europe. 1t
contemplates immediate shipment or
liquor stocks in Kentucky, estimated
at 39,s999 99 gallons in bonded ware
houses, largely to Cuban ports for
storage and subsequent resale in
Cuba, or shipment to other foreign
countries
The freedom of southern ports from

nearness to Cuba and the large num-
Der of steamship lines operating to
the islands were pointed TO as eY''
dence that railroads and the United
States Shipping board re-operating

fore January 16, the time limit that
the internal revenue department has
placed on export shipments
Southern ports, it was declared,
are from 600 to 800 mics nearer
Cuba than any north Atlantic port,
thus effecting a considerable saving
in time which is regarded as a vital
element,
The railroads are depended upon,
according to the plan presented today,
to furnish the cars necessary to move
the whiskey to the seaboard and the
shipping board is expected to allocate
to southern points sufficient ship
ments before the time limit expires.

New York. Dec. 1S.-William H. An
derson state superintendent OF the
Anti-Saloon league replied last night
to Lieutenant Maynard's charges that
his original statement in regard to the
use of alcoholic liquors by army avia'
tors was "juggled" by the league. Mr..
Anderson's statement fol.ows:
The Anti-Saloon league refuses to
be made the goat by Lieutenant May

make to his accusation that the lea
que 'juggled his statement is the fact
that we still have in our possession,

or any other person who has any valid
interest in the matter, the original
typewriter statement covered and
identifyed by letter signed by Lieut.
enant Maynard and sent by him to us
in response TO our request for state
ment for publicity purposes.
Lieutenant Maynard complains that
the league robbed it of is introduce
tory paragraph The only words left
out were:
In response to your request, | am
very g ad to give you synopsis of
my observations in regard to the use
of alcoholic beverages in the air ser.

These words were omitted because
they were obviously surplusage and
&c not in the slightest degree change
the meaning. Save 1or this single ex-

Applicants for Insurance Often

Judging from reports from drug.

An examining physician for one of
