committee for questioning.
Correspondence and other data he
brought was examined by Senator
Reed, Democrat, Missouri, author Of
a pending bill TO prohibit further ad"
vances to foreign nations.
Senator Reed said he would take up
each loan in turn and ask three prin-
cipal questions in each case, the first
to ascertain the authority given Tor
credits advanced, the advances and
the purpose Of each. and the balances
and obligations against each advance.
Loans to CZecho-Slovalia were In
quired into and then the hearing ad'
journed until Monday.
The treasury secretary produced a
letter to President Wilson under date
Of October 4, 1918, asking If Czecho-
Slovallia had been recognized and
whether the treasury was authorized
to make loans 10 it, The White
House, he said approved the letter
the next day and the first committ'
ment to that nation to the amount
of s7,OOO,0O0 was authorized on April
8, 1919.
Mr.. Houston did not have all the
data which committee members in
dicated would be needed and he was
excused until the hearing is resumed

Tho Kidneys Should Receive Help.
Emmett People Recommend
DOan's Kidney Pills.


The constant strain of busy life
Is hard on the kidneys, and in later
years
The kidneys call for help.
Old Backs often ache, day in. day
out;
Urinary ills frequently add their
weight of woe,
Give the help the kidneys need.
Aid the kidneys with Doan's Kidney
Pills.
Emmett people endorse this remedy.
F. H. Vanderhoof, retired farmer, S.
Washington St., Emmett, says:
when a man gets along in years his
kidneys are liable to cause trouble; at
least l have been bothered with the
idney secretions passing too frequent
ly at times. That weakness has kept
me from getting much rest at night
and, then, l would have considerable
backache, too. Doan's Kidney Pills
are the best remedy have ever tried
for kidney trouble and they have al
ways corrected the disorder and rid
me of the pain in short time"
