Many of you here were born in Lithuania or are children ot Lithuanian parents who migrated to this country to establish new homes. 1 You have adopted this country as your country, yet what is more natural than that your thoughts should turn back to the land where you were born. We, born in other countries, respect you for your love of the older country.

Take a Look at Your Tongue

If you aren't feeling just right, go to the mirror and look at your tongue. If it's coated, your stom- ach, liver or bowels aren't working properly. That's a bad sign. Better get a bottle of Tanlac right away and give your system a thorough toning up. Many thousands of suf- ferers from all kinds of digestive ail- ments have written us that Tanlac has revitalized them.
 Mir. William Martell, of 15 liar riet St.. Pawtucket, R. l., says: My digestion was so poor that I had to live on toasts and eggs for six months. Tanlac made a continuous improvement and I've gained 22 lbs"
 That coated tongue tells you why the least exertion tires you out, why you have pains in the bowels, gas. sour stomach and dizzy spells; why you have no appetite and can't sleep. Try Tanlac and see how much the first bottle helps you. The cost is less than Pc a dose.
 Tanlac contains no mineral drugs: it is made of barks. herbs and roots -nature's own medicines for the sick. Get bottle from your drug. gist today. Your money back if it doesn't help you.

THAT NEW RECORD IN THE AIR

Endurance flights in the air have practical value. They show to the world that airplanes can remain aloft for long periods during fav- orable weather. Travelling in circle while aloft requires just as much mechanical effort as travelling to some destination. Consequently, in addition to winning the sustained flight record away from the Ger mans, George Haldeman and Eddie stinson achieved something well worth while.
 It will not be long, however, be- fore the sustained flight record again is broken. Such flights have become longer and longer, the record since 1921 being broken" five times. There may be limit to such flights, but it is more likely to be reached through inability of aviators to re- main awake rather than the failure of constantly improving aviation mechanics.

SENATOR WILLIS

Senator Frank B. Willis ol Ohio was a sincere and conscientious pub lie servant. No one was ever left in doubt as to his stand on public ques- tions. In this particular he WAS slightly different from the majority Of candidates for public office. Pros hibition was q case in point. Senator Willis was bone dry; he did not angle for wet votes,
 His strength in Ohio was based primarily upon his sincerity in such matters. Voters could take him or leave him; all agreed that to be for or against Willis was not trouble some as there was never doubt as to just what he stood for.
 His sudden death in the midst Of campaign for the presidential nomination will be regretted by po- iitical friend and foe alike Secretary Hoover, his opponent in the primary, was one of the first to eulogize the high merits of DhiO's fayorite son.

GEORGE RI.NiUS SANE
 AS EVER

Of course, George Remus of Cin- ctnnati, potent bootlegger and mill Iionaire, was not insane when they sent him to an insane asylum. That merely was a technical subterfuge to justify his acquittal after he had slain his wife. It appears that some- thing had to be done about 1t and the most sensible action was the seizure Of his corpulent body and its transportation to the state hos pital for observation and possible cure.
 / The public never took the insanity game of Remus very seriously, ex- cept that some thoughtful souls con- cluded that he was at least suffer- ing some punishment for his crime. But even such punishment could not be made to stick. and when Remus through {, writ got himself thorough ly examined he naturally was found as sane as he eyer was. It being illegal to keep 6 sane man in such an institution, he obtained his freedom. Everything was done with speed and despatch, as the law provided.
 Thus ends one of the most out standing farces of American juris- prudence. Ones sense of justice may be outraged, but it should not be overlooked that Remus was found not guilty by q jury Of his peers, twelve good men and women who were well enough convinced that he should not be punished for the death Of his wife. It may be difficult to understand how such things occur, but luries mix q good deal of human nature with their delibera- tons. Now Kemus, like Harry Thaw, is free: both went through the same technic. except that Remus attained his end much quicker.

Thus far the skirmishing has been

Thus far the skirmishing has been
 rather mild. Messrs, Paonessa and
 Bartlett have appeared at several
 rallies and have explained the prin-
 ciples on which they appeal for of-
 flee. Neither has made any radical statementA Mr. Bartlett standing on
 his record as councilman and ex-Mayor Paonessa explaining that he would be opposed to carrying out the policies of the republican ad- ministration if he succeeded in win- ming on election day. But the com- ing week there should be plenty Of activity at the crossroads.
 It is no secret that the democrats expect to poll large vote in the fourth ward on election day. Paon- essa nearly carried the district one year when he was running for may or and it is possible that the intense rivalry of the republican slates, which was settled at the primaries yesterday, may show it's scares on April 10. Democratic leaders are confident that the fourth will not be strongly against them even if it isn't with them. The fact that Bob Johnson is running for office in that ward on the democratic ticket should mean something and the TOW between the factions headed by AL derman Gustaye Johnson and Coun- cilman John \. Larson is not eA- pected to end with q handshake.
 The fifth ward will be shell strewn battlefield when the last voter chimes his preference on the machines. The republicans are Wag- ing a strong effort to make the ward safe for the party and the democrats are just as eager to make 1t safe for democracy. The large number of new voters made in the ward indicates joy for someone and a headache for someone else, but just at this moment We are not at liberty to reveal which will win the leadache.
 In the sixth ward the democrats have had d contest for the nomina- ion for alderman. Whether that will cave unhealed wounds on election lay only time will tell. The demo- 'ratlc party is supremely confident hat the Old Sixth will give Paonessa md his associates a healthy plural ty, enough perhaps to counterbal- lnce any of the republican margins Il the lower wards.
 This IS our prediction prediction its all going to be very interest ng.

PUTTING ON A RACKET IN THE SENATE

The Senate of these United States now needs little recreation. After
 having passed the huge Mississippi flood control bill following only an hours debate it is in a mood for some light entertainment. Thus, during the past few days. Senator Robinson Of Indiana has "edified" his colleagues with bedtime stories about the iniquities of the Wilson administrations, his "slanderous" re- marks being promptly disclaimcd by Senator Walsh Of Montana and Senator Glass of Virginia. Finally Senator Caraway of Arkansas, who got wind of some unruly conduct by Secretary Work to war veteran from Texas who called on a matter Of business for Governor Dan
 Moody. found himself in excellent form for bast of red hot oratory. Senator Caraway does not believe in mincing words. nor in depending upon senatorial privileges to say anything he pleases; thus he dubbed Secretary Work as coward" And if all that Senator Caraway said was true there is scarcely any other word in the language more fitting. It is well not to come to final con- clusions. however. before Secretary Work is heard from in detail.
 There is no gainsaying the fact that the Senate is the most power- full and most entertaining body of lawmakers on earth. Some critics are inclined to find fault with 1t, citing the endless debates" as evil dence that the body is behind the times: but it has its good points The country would not be the same without it. Senators not only have their say, but they say it with bat tering rams, and not flowers. The House is quite a Sunday school in
