Harding Was Figure To At- tract Attention In Any
 Crowd

WASHINGTON, August 2.-By Asst ciated ss.)-Massive in frame and feature, a figure to attract a second look in any crowd, that was Warren G. Harding, the man.
 Although slightly less than six feet in height, he carried his 210 and his unusually broad and high forehead and heavy, square jaw rounded out at impression of force and distinction
 Contrasting sharply with his all mC st silver gray hair were markedly thick black eyebrows which almost masked a pair of calm, grey eyes. In repose, his face took on the aspect of severity so often seen in his pho tographs, but when he talked or lis tened the lines were broken by a smile that radiated coTdiality.
 MT Harding was both. good con- versatiGnalist and good listener and he loved to rub elbows with his fellow man His first official order was that the gates to the White House grounds be thrown open and at the start he received visitors at almost any hour of the day. This took up so much of his time, how ever, that the establishment of fixed hour for this purpose was de- cided upon.
 Received Many Visitors.
 Each day after he had cleared his desk and was ready for lunch he re- ceived groups of visitors in the eX- ecutive offices, shaking hands and exchanging a smile and a word with each individual. White House off cers estimated that an average of 1000 perstns called upon him daily; He revived also the more formal functions, such as the New Year re- ce0tions and the state and diplomatic dinners.
 Mir Harding was very fond of children, though he had none of his own, and Easter egg rolling on the White House lawn was made an an nual event.
 MT. and Mrs. Harding mingled freely with the little tots and ap- watching them play.
 Had Many Friends.
 In his rest hours, MT. Harding liked tC have around him his per sonal friends and intimates. in whose company he could put aside the dig nifty and the cares of state and with whom he could swap stories and "reminiscences. It was not surprising, then, that, like Cleveland before him, he frequently slipped away from the White House in the evening to- pay informal calls upon former asso- ciates in the Senate and other close friends.
 Gtlf was MT. Hardng's favorite recreation and whenever public af- fairs permitted he sought the links of 8 Washington Country club. His friends of the Senate frequently were his opponents and in such matches they always developed keen. though friendly rivalry. By virtue of his position as an editor and pub fisher, he participated also in the an nual golf tournaments Of the Wash ingtpn correspondents.

Thousands Have Kidney
Trouble and Never
Suspect 1t
Applicants for Insurance Often
Rejected. -, q,

Judging from reports from druggists
who are constantly in direct touch with
the public, there is one preparation that
has been very successful in overcoming
these conditions. The mild and healing
influence of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp Root II
soon realized. It stands the highest for
its remarkable record of success.
An examining physician for one of the
prominent Life Insurance Companies, in
an interview on the subject, made the a.
tonishing statement that one reason why
90 many applicants for insurance are re-
jected is because kidney trouble il 90
common to the American people, and the
large majority of those whose applications
are declined do not even suspect that they
have the disease. Dr.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root Is on sale at all drug stores in bottles
Of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to test this
great preparation send ten cents to DR..
Kilmer & Co., Binghamton, N. Y, for q
sample bottle. When writing be sure and
mention this paper.-Advertisement.

c. WEIGH, raising the rate from to
10 per cent, was lost by vote Of As
to SO, but one by N. T. Moen, raising
the rate to per cent, was carried.

to 46. The debate on the rules com
mittee report including this item was
marked by exchanges Of personalities
Representative c. NJ. Iverson was
the member against whom threats
were directed for his persistent refus
al to vote on the motion to adopt the
report, although his name was repeat
eddy called after refusal Of the house
to excuse him from voting. When he
did vote in favor of the adoption, ex
planning he was against the principle
of procession conference but that he
favored reimbursement of members
who attended them in good faith. Rep
resentative S. A. Stockwell was so in
censed that he apologized to the house
for having seconded Mr.. VERSIONS
nomination for speaker.

port.

On Mr.. Norton's subse luent motion
to authorize. reimbursement on the

point that Mr.. VERSIONS refusal to vote
almost blocked proceedings. Mr.. Mel

sentative ]. B. Hompe moved that he

NO CHANGE IN PRIMARY
Members from Rural Districts Vote
Solid In Opposition.

st. Paul-The Girling- bill
to change primary elections from May
to September was defeated in the
House of Representatives when rural
members formed a solid opposition to
It. The vote was AZ for passage and
81 against.
Thomas H. Girling put up the only
defense for the bill, and the protests
from a dozen legislators representing
farming communities swept away all
chance Of its passage. Their arguments
were that the farmers are too busy in
September to take time OFF from their
threshing to go to the polls. They be-
lieved that the change would benefit
only the candidates, and would work
q hardship on the country workers.
The bill had run the gauntlet Of the
elections committee and consideration
by the committee of the whole with
out any determined effort having been
made to beat It. The committee report
Cd 1t back to the House without rec
-mmendation, and when considered in
ommittee of the whole the first ink
Ing Of opposition appeared. Efforts
rere made to amend 1t by changing
he time for the primary to July, but
" agreement the bill went over to the
alendar for final passage. While
waiting final roll call the rural mem
>ers assembled their forces and were
II set for the killing.
