SUNDAY NIGHT. I
oNh OF the preachers.
PREACHED A sermon.
IN WHICH he mentioned.
SOME OF the things.
THAT WE'RE necessary.
TO MAKE homes happy.
AND HE called attention.
TO THE fact.
THAT THE husbands.
SHOULD BE mselfsh.
AND COURTEOUS.
AND GOOD natured.
AND A lot of other things.
AND THEN he said.
THAT THE home life.
OF CIVILIZED nations.
HAD CHANGED considerably.
AND DOWN in Africa.
WHERE FOLKS don't have.
FLlVVER CARS.
AND SO-CENT eggs.
THINGS ARE different
AND DOWN there.
THE WIFE gets up first.
IN THE morning.
AND COOKS breakfast.
AND CHOPS the wood.
AND MINDS the children.
AND PLANTS the garden.

AND HAS to make.

AND WHEN he said that.
LOOKED around.
AND WATCHED the expression.
ON SOME of the faces.
OF THE married men.
IN MY vicinity.
OF THE church.
AND THEY looked.

OF SOMETHING.
THOUSANDS OF miles away.
AND I don't know.

 Finally, it is said, the labor board is given power to prevent any pay increases for railroad employees. re. gardless of what circumstances may be by the provision permitting the board to review and modify any agreement likely to necessitate sub stantial readjustment of the rates of carrier
 Charges by Representative San ders, republican, of Indiana, that members of congress had been call ed into "caucus" to be dictated to by union labor on the railroad reorgani- zation bills almost broke up an in- formal conference tonight between congressman friendly to labor and labor leaders.
 Mr. Sanders said he had received an Invitation to attend a "caucus" in the house office building and found instead "an assembly at which labor leaders were prepared to pre- sent their commands to the legisla- tors"
 "l charge that this meeting was called to defeat the railroad bill," he should, Gin order to foist government ownership upon the country"
 MT. Sanders bitterly arraigned President Gompers of the American Federation of Labor, who was seated nearby, for having "unjustifiably and indiscriminatingly insulted the present congress-"
 Turning about to face the mur- murs of isapprobation which had arisen at his unexpected remark, MT. Sanders shook a belligerent fore finger in the air at the labor leaders and said:
 "You can't have your own way sbout everything"
 Immediately Representative Mead. democrat, of New York arose and declared "the man who will say this meeting was surreptitously called is a liar"
 A dozen congressman present, in- cluding MT. Sanders, jumped to their feet and turmoil reigned until the chairman had called the meeting to order. Representative Mead con- sented to withdraw his assertion in so far as it might have been con strued to include Mir. Sanders.

WHEN YOUR CON-
 PLEx|ON BEGINS
 TO FADE WITH AGE
You Can Preserve That Clear,
 Smooth Tint of Youth
By the Occasional Use of the Black and White Beauty
 Treatment.

As the years go by women lose that baby-like softness and the rosy tint which they possessed fin their girlhood days. Fact powders, rouge and toilet creams all help and serve as a mask for their faded, sallow complexion-but such results serve only for few hours.
 The Black and White Beauty Treatment will restore that bloom of youth so much desired = make mothers ad daughters appear to be sisters-and it's use both safe and delightful. Before retiring, you bathe your face with Black and White Soap, then apply the creamy Ointment and wash off the next morning. You'll be so well pleased with this home beauty treatment that a package of both Black ana White Ointment and Soap will al- ways have place on your dressing table.
 Your druggist sells both Black and White Ointment and Black and White Soap at 25c each, or the man. ufacturehs will send both on receipt of Soc.
 A sample, literature and Black and White Birthday and Dream Book will be sent you free if you clip and mail this advertisement to Black and WHITE, Box s13, Memphis, Tenn.

Wants Cabinet to Determine When
 President is HI

Washington, Feb. 19.--Another bill to deal with a situation arising from the inability of a president to transact his duties was introduced today in the house. Representative Madden, republican of Illinois, offer. ed measure empowering the cabinet to determine when a president is dis abled. Like other similar measures introduced yesterday, it would not be applicable to President Wilson, as it would not become effective until next March 4.
 Mir. Madden's measure proposes that after g president had been un- able for six weeks, through physical disability or absence from the coun- try, to perform his duties, the cabi- net could declare the disability and call upon the vice president to act. The vice president would remain in the office until the cabinet should declare the presidents disability ended.
 Mr.t Madden. said he was moved to introduce his bill because Mir. Will son had established precedent in contending that cabinet meetings could not be held without his order and that definite laws on the sub feet were desirable.

 The point is: You're no older than your vitality.
 If a man is strong, vigor- ous, mentally alert, fine and fit at 50 he has a better chance of living up to 30 than a man of 30 who is weak and rundown has of living up to 60.
