TO CUT BUDGET.
Estimates Totaling Over 4 II Il; Bill
lions Must be Pruned, Says
Warren

The enormous budget estimates
totaling ,s4,s5s, 1856, 755e presented to
Congress yesterday viii be. pruned
approximately one4third, according to
Senator Francis E. Warren, chair
man Of the Senate Appro priations
Committee iwhs;oh will pass upon all
appropriations.
Senator Warren indicated that the
situation only can BE renaedied by a
Sow process Of adjustment.
at would Be committing hari-kari
to cut the appropriations in half as
has been suggested. said Senator
Warren, who is recognized as ons
eff the leading authorities on nation
al finance
"Ws have obligations that must
be met. The seriousness of condi-
tons is revealed by the continual is
suance of 6 per cent treasury obi
cations of the government. The banks
alreaGy have about as much CT this
paper as they can carry and soon new
methods will have to be devised.
1.-The nation must be resigned to
the fact that material rsGuction in
taxes cannot be secured for at ieast
two years. Real relief, however, can
be obtained by readjusting and equal
izing; the present grossly ireqnitable
METHODS by, which taxes are levied"
Other. leaders in Congress Go mo-
bel!eEe that the estimates, which arc
81 100000, 900 lin excess of appropria-
lions for the present year, can be re-
duced to the extent. Senator Warren
believes: Most of them are traceab!e'
in. large part, to the war.
The interest on the public debt
alone amounts to $s22,S5O.000. In ad-
dition, estimates for the war deot sink
i.y fund amounting TO S265,754.S6i
were submitted. These two items alone
are largely. in excess of pre-war es-
Inmates.

DOWN IN BED

Lady Suffered Terribly for Eight Weeks But Her Case Showed Wonderful Improvement
 After Taking Cardui.

Johnson City, Tenn.-Mrs. M. R, Scott, living near this town, states: About three years ago was down in bed | : < terrible and so weak couldn't bear the sight of food. This condition continued for about eight weeks < t thought I was going to die, and knew must get something to do me some good. I had heard all my life of Cardui and the good results ob- tained from its use. So I decided to try it.
 After about half bottle of Cardui my appetite improved, then I was less nervous. kept it up until I had taken five bottles-and such an now am the picture fhealthhcouch. improvement! I gained flesh and now am the picture of health, due, l believe. solely to the use of Cardui. I am the mother of ten children and feel we'll and strong"
 Cardui is mild, medicinal tonic for women. It has stood the most severe of all tests--the test of time, having been in use for over forty years. It is composed of purely vegetsble ingredients, which have been found to help build up the vi tality, tone up the nerves, and strengthen the womanly constitution.

Persons Who Catch Cold Eas- ily and Who Are Weak and Run Down Are Earliest Victims.
DANGER IS TOO GREAT TO TAKE ANY CHANGES
Build Up Your Bodily Pow CTS or Resistance by Talk ing Tanlac and FOrtifying Against Attack.

Much of the difficulty experienced by health authorities in checking the spread of Influenza lies in the fact that it spreads with olmost lightning rapidity. Although state and city authorities have succeeded in keeping it under control in some sections, the disease has gotten en- tirely beyond control in others.
 It is universally agreed by all we'll informed persons that the surest pre- ventive is to get the sysem into the best possible physical condition, in order to be able to throw off the in- lection. It has been stated that it is possible to perfect the powers of human resistance so that it can throw off almost any infection, not excepting Spanish Influenza, which is generally supposed to be one of the most contagious diseases known
 Medical authorities agree that peo- pie who are weak and rundown are the earliest victims of the influenza epidemic. If you find yourself weak and losing flesh, or if you are in a generally run n-down condition you are really in danger if you should come in contact with the Influenza germ.

and system builder Tanlac is with out an equal. This is a statement of fact and is fully supported by recognized authorities. According to all accepted reference works. includ ing the U. s. Dispensatory, Encyclo- pedia Britannica, and the leading textbooks used in the schools of medicine, the principle ingredients of Tanlac possess the most power ful reconstructive properties known to. science. This statement is fur ther proven by the fact that millions of persons who have actually taken Tanlac have testified to it's extraor- idinary powers as medicine. A Tanlac restores health and strength to the weak and rundown system by enabling every organ of the body to perform it's proper function in the way nature intend ed. Ii creates a good, healthy appe- tite for wholesome. nourishing food, and is an ideal strengthening tonic for persons who are in a rundown condition and who are suffering from the after-effects of hard win ter colds, grippe, or bronchila trou bles.
 Irrefutable evidence of the recon structive powers of Tanlac is shown by the fact that it was used by tens of thousands during last years epi- demic with splendid results. One well-known Texas physician stated that he had never found anything to equal Tanlac for building up his patients who had had influenza, and that he had treated over fourteen hundred cases in one month.
 In connection with the Tanlac Treatment. keep the bowels open by taking Tanlac Laxative Tablets. samples of which are enclosed with every bottle of Tanlac.
 The Central Pharmacy and all other druggists sell Tanlac.-Advt.

Are 'Independent.'

After the caucus some democrats stated that their action was an as- sertion of their independence" in the belief they knew the sentiment of the country better than either the president or the party leaders.
 Reading of the presidents letter virtually opened the business before the caucus and almost immediately Representative Caldwell sought to block action by moving adjournment. His proposal was lost by an over whelming vote. General debate was precipitated by Representative Ay- CTS, Kansas, offering the resolution recording democrats against univer- sal training. Speakers did not dis criminate between universal training and service and as adopted the reso- luton was so changed as to declare opposition to both.
 References to MT. Wilson and Sec retary Baker were infected into the debate Representative Kitchin de- clared 'with all due deference" to them. he believed there could be no objection to the house stating it's position, especially since both offi- cials had "put the party on record" oE ahHouHClHS tnelr aLtltuQe.
 Mr. Kitchin said that Mr. Wilson's illness had "unfortunately" remov- ed the executive from an intimate touch with national affairs and sen- timent. He read a telegram from Representative Ferris, Oklahoma. chairman of the democratic congress sicnal campaign committee, who de- clared the country is opposed to universal training" Mr Ferris oninion was cited by Mir. Kitchin as that of one who "knows the feel ing of ever vdistrict in the country" which prompted response from the floor ives, Ferris is running for the senate"
 Representative Flood declared it was ''all right" to talk of waiting for the national convention. but he added that the convention might get the idea we are for training" by the silence of house members.
 Representative Caldwell declared every post of the American Legion by the action today at Indianapolis. had gone on record in favor of uni versal training.

 Nevertheless it is anticipated that both houses will have a vote on the universal training proposal, for it is included in the senate bill and Chair man Kahn of the house military committee, which is framing the house bill. reiterated tonight his intention of pressing adoption of the plan.
 President Wilson, in his letter. pre- sented at the caucus after being made public today, declared any ac- tion that would make the proposal party issue would be unfortunate
 Debate in the caucus by those fa- voring universal training. reflected the presidents stand. Representa- tives Kitchin, North Carolina, Flood Virginia and Dent, Alabama, were among speakers opposing acceptance of his argument. Though urging rejection of the presidents stand. these and other democrats offered no personal criticism of either the pres ident or Secretary Baker. who re- ceItlv announced his support of uni yersal training.

Barker's Statement.

"The orders have gone out" Allan E. Barker, grand president, said, land we would require two or three days to cancel them"
 "The strike, in addition to wage increases, requested that summer is to secure uniform rate from coast to coast. It would affect store house employees, stationary firemen; stationary engineers, steel bridge workers, cinder pit men and oilers and other members of the brother hood
 A committee of 10 left tonight for Washington. The committee will re- main in Washington until the time set for the strike. It has authority to enter into negotiations with the director general, Mir. Barker said With departure of. the committee. the conference of the general chair man ended. In explaining the de- cision "that this strike call is not something decided upon precipitate- lv, but dates back to last July. Wage demands were presented to the rail road administration at that time and brotherhood membership authorized strike to enforce them. We held strike in abeyance, however. upon President Wilson's request that he be permitted an opportunity to bring about reduction in living costs. He asked for "a reasonable time" which he fixed at 60 or 90 days. We have waited six months and there has been no reduction in the cost of living.
 There are more than 100000 of our members who receive less than S3 day. More than 100000 me chanics, consisting of carpenters, ma sons and painters, are receiving an average of 55 cents an hour, which is about one-half the wage received by the same class of labor in build ing trades"

MAY SOON LAUNCH COMMUNITY CHEST
 DRIVE FOR S84,3OO
Would Obtain Fund in Single Campaign; the
 AppOrtiOn

The community chest drive for ss4.3O0 may be launched here with nthe next 30 days, according to a decision reached at a conference held in the Citizens Bank building yes terday afternoon. The idea advanced is one of economy, in order to do away with number of drives in the course of year. The fund would be raised in a single campaign and then dispensed as needed.
 The community chest plan was ad- vocated several weeks ago by the Pine Bluff Ad club and since this time it has been variously discussed in several different meetings here. The plan has been adopted in Cleve- land, O., and in other cities.
 An inquiry was made into the ac- tivities of the various organizations of this city for which drives are made yearly, dependent on the sub- scriptions of citizens.
 The table of amounts that could be raised in one big drive is as fol- lows:
 Relief work, $6,000.
 For Associated Charities, $6,00O.
 Juvenile court, $10,000.
 Library association, $20,OO0.
 Y. M. c. A., S12.OOO.
 Y. w. c. A., s1O,00O.
 Public health, $6,SOO.
 Children's hospital, $18,000.
 General clinic, $6,O0O.
 1lliteracy commission, $5,5O0. The complete total of these amounts is $1O1, 300.
 From this total there will be de- ducted, so far as the present year is concerned:
 Fund already pledged for the Y. M. c. A., $12,0OO.
 Fund already pledged for the Pub lie Health association, $5,000.
 This leaves balance to be raised of S83,aOO.
 The budget for the Library asso- citation of s20,000 includes $11 ,5O0. with which to pay off the present in- debtedness on the library property. When this is done, the Library asso- citation, it is hoped, will be able to secure funds from the Cargenie com mission with which to build and equip q new building commensurate with the needs of this city along public library lines. This, of course. would not again be included in the budget for 1921; s2,5OO would be used for removing the present build ing to the rear of the lot and re- pairing it so that it could be used as temporary library while the new building is under construction. The remainder of $6.0O0 would be the an- nual sum in the budget for books maintenance and other items.
 Among those attending the confer ence yesterday were Rev. H. A. Stow ell of the Associated Charities, who presided: Mesdames A. w. Troupe Cora Gillespie and W. D. Jones of the Y. w. c. A.: c. w. Pettigrew, ard A. L. Drevfus of the library; Jack Bernhardt and o. c. Hauber of the Ad club. Another conference will be held at the same time and he same place mex Thursday afternoon.
