The firm Of Moorhead and fillmore,

stated that 1t is his opinion that the
firm will pay off its Indebtedness
100 cents on the dollar, and this
statement is concurred in by 4.
Robert Elmore, senior member OF
the firm.
II is felt in financial circles that
the assignment is due to the in
ability Of the firm to acquire ad-
ditional necessary capital to sustain
the enormous increase in their bust
ness, and that the bankruptcy pro-
Ceedings were really the outgrOwth
Of definite plans to protect the best
interests OF their clients which. it
is stated, will be done as soon as
assets OF slow liquidity can be
realized upon.
Building Valued ut sI5O,O0O.
Up to last Friday it was expected
that the firm Of Moorhead and Ell
more would consolidate with Good
body and Company, members of the
New York Stock Exchange. and
that Elmore was to remain in
Washington as the head OF the
Washington branch. This consoli-
dation would have effected the nee
essary increase in capital to take
care OF the business and at the
same time would have provided
funds TO hold the situation intact
until such time when certain as

Goodbody and Company withdrew
from this arrangement it was de-
termined that unless additional
capital could be obtained from an
other source the firm would make
an assignment without sacrificing

REPUBLICANS WILL NOT PASS SOLDIERS RTJJ,

Washington, February 19-(Speciall- As previously indicated, nothing is more embarrassing to the republican party than ts unwtlfingness and inability to legis- late iu some beneficial fashion for the American soldiers who fought the war
 They urged as a reason for the calling o1 an extra session last year the neces- slty of voting favors and honors to the victorious here. They introduced a flood or bills. promised much and talked more. They have done nothing
 And now Franklin D'Olier of Washing ton, commander of the American Legion, has pinned them to the cross. In a pub lie statement, he declares that the repro- licans explained delay by expressions of desire that the legion say what it would have Congress do. The legion expressed itself, and still Congress refuses to act, D'Olier continues.
 Tt is only fair play for which the soldier asks says the commancer, While the soldier was in France fight ing the battles of the republic. an ap- preeiative Congress voted a bonus to gov ernnIent clerks, and an appreeiatiye gov ernment rewarded workmen with the highest wages ever paid workmen.
 It is only fair play that the soldier asks. Can't the government be as gener- ous to it's fighting men as to it's clerks and it's workmen?'' ?''
 But it is known that nothing will be done The republican leaders have ordered that nothing be done, and though a num- Der of republican "revolutionists'' have threatened revolt, it is expected that they will walk back into line when their bosses crack their whips.

CHAMP CLARK NOT
 READY TO STATE PLANS

Washington, February 1s.-tSpecial. l- Champ Clark, former speaker of the
 House of Representatives and now demo- from Missouri, where he went to help out a democratic candidate for Congress, who vas elected, and to consult his friends re- garding his own future political course.
 When MT. Clark entered the House he was greeted by applause in ~hich all democrats and a majority Of the repab- licans joined. The applause Interrupted
 Representative Walsh of Massachusetts, republican, who was speaking. He said:
 MT. Speaker, lest this tremendous out
 burst of enthusiasm should appear in the record as an expression of approval of
 the remarks I have made, I desire to
 ncte that the distinguished gentleman from Missouri is back from Elba, and that the applause is by way of a greeting to him. Mir. Clark, later in conference with
 newspaper men, declared that he had
 practically made up his mind as to his po-
 litical future, but that he would not de-
 clare himself within a week. As pre- viously reported. MT. Clark would like to become candidate for the presidency,
 and will unless he understands that his chance for the nomination would not be a big chance. Many democrats are urg-
 ing him to run for the Senate against Senator Spencer who slipped in follow
 ing the death of former Senator William J. Stone as result of split in the democratic ranks. Both democratic factions in Missouri favor Clark, and it is held that he could
 be elected to the Senate without material difficulty

CUMMINGS THINKS
 TIDE HAS TURNED

Washington, February 19-(Specia..)- Political savants of the republican party pretend to see disaster for the democratic party in it's attempt to write platform in view of the dissimilar views of demo- cratic leaders With Bryan preaching rad- Iicalsm, with Wilson holding in contempt | the doctrines of Jefferson and Madison.
 and the vice president insisting that the
 party must return to the teachings of the party, and to a basis of political Sln- | ity," clash which means permanent di-
 vision and overwhelming defeat is inevi- l able, according to the publicity of the republican organization.
 Chairman Cummings of the executive committee of the democratic party, on
 the other hand sees in the varying view points of leaders the certainty that a middle ground or conservative platform, of great appeal to the people, will be de- vised Indeed, Chairman Cummings is most sanguine in his hope of success. To Washington correspondents he speaks as follows:
 "Everything is all right in the demo- cratic party. and occasional expressions of criticism mean nothing; certainly not the existence of a desire or tendency to cause disruption. The tide has turned, in my opinion, and the turning point was the recent election in Missouri of Capt Jacob Milligan, democrat, to succeed Secretary Alexander, recently elevated to the cab met.
 "In that campaign the issue was the League of Nations. The democrat es- poused the league. His opponent fought it The republican candidate had the assistance of all the big guns of the republican party But the democrat was elected by majority larger than the nor nal majority polled in that district. .The tide has turned and it is all derSS cratic henceforth.

 Years

You were taught at school that your body undergoes a complete change of structure every seven years.
 This tearing down and build ing up process of body tissue continues without a moments s pause throughout life.
 And when a man gets into a physical condition that the tis- sues keep breaking down and wasting away faster than Na- ture can replace them, right then he begins to grow 4'old".
 This doesn't necessarily mean, however, that he has reached an advanced age. Thousands upon thousands of people begin to break down, their vital organs giving evil dence of fast approaching de- cay, long before they reach middle age simply because they fail to give Nature, at the proper time, the needed help to rebuild.
 If you are beginning to show the slightest sign of a physical 'let-down''-if you are losing your old time 'pep" vim and vigor-if high tension energy and nervous strain are begin ming to tell on you-it's a sure -ign that you are growing "old" ~too oldforyouryears. You've reached that stage where your vital forces need rebuilding. Don't make the serious mistake
