Would Cambridge people recon-

like the following must carry con-

year ago 1 began to suffer from a
dreadful aching across my back. I

something for my kidneys. 1 used

All Engagements Cancelled BY Or
ders of Doctor.
Washington, July 22.-President
Wilson was confined to his bed by a
severe attack of intestinal trouble.
He suffered considerable pain and
was compelled, on the orders Of his
physician, Rear Admiral Cary T.
Grayson, to cancel all appointments.
Doctor Grayson said the president
was suffering with dysentery.
The tremendous amount Of work
which the president has had on his
hands since his arrival from France,
coupled with the humidity Of the
weather here recently is believed by
Doctor Grayson to have constituted
the combination of circumstances
which made him i'll.
The president was taken sick short
Iy after he started on a trip down
the Potomac river on board the yacht
Mayf1ower, and Immediately upon his
return to the White House he was or
aered to bed.

Are You One of Them2

There are a great many people
who would be very much benefited
by taking Chamberlain's Tablets for
a weak or disordered stomach. Are
you one of them? Mrs. M. r. Searl,
Baldinsyflle, N. Y, relates her ex-
perience in the use of these tablets:
IT had bad spell with my stomach
about six months ago. and was trou-
bled for two or three weeks with gas
and severe pains in the pit of my
stomach. Our druggist advised me
to take Chamberlain's Tablets. I
took a bottle home and the first dose
relieved me wonderfully, and 1 kept
on taking them until was cured" 4"
These tablets do not relieve pain, but
after the pain has been relieved may
prevent its recurrence.-Adv.

HOME. BOOZE STOCK
SAVED BY BIG VOTE
House Retains Provision Per-
! mittIng Personal Supply.

Washington, July pa motion to
strike from the prohibition enforce
mert bill the provision permitting the
storage of liquor in the home for
personal use was defeated in the
6ouse, 107 to 3.
The motion, by Representative Ra-
ker, Democrat, California, was oppos-
ed by Representative Volstead, Mime
sofa, chairman of the judiciary COM
mittee. Voting for it were Raker,
Blanton, Texas, and Upshaw, all Dem
Ocrats. The house previously had
defeated overwhelmingly an amend
ment to limit home possession to $50
worth of liquor.
Some members were GLAD to feel
that the drys had gone about as far
as it was wise to go, as to make the
legislation too drastic would only
bring it into contempt and thereby
defeat the ends to which the prohibit
tionists were working. Still others
objected to the action Of the majority
in rushing through the bill as they
saw no need for haste in view of the
delay that is bound to ensue before
the senate is ready to take up the
bill.
By a vote of SO to 26. the house
eliminated the section Of the bill
which would have authorized the
courts at their discretion to send to
Jail persons convicted Of violating
the law who could not furnish bond
that they would not again violate it
within a year.
Representative Gard, Democrat,
Ohio, author of the amendment to
strike out the section declared it af-
forded, "a unique method of double
punishment for poor men, who were
unable to give bond"
In some states the mere possession
of more than GALLON or two of
whisky, or other beverage, is treated
as prima facie evidence that it is
kept for illegal purposes, and the pos
SCISSOR can be. arrested, while his
stocks are conflscated.
