NJ DONALD A. CRAIG.

January 9, 1ss6.-The Democratic ma
ticnal committee met this morning, ac-
cordins to the call published through
out the country some time since. at the
National Hotel In this city, every State
being represented. The Hon. Robert
M. MeLane Of Maryland was in the
chair
The only business whatever ap-
preached by the committee was the
question Of the best time for the meet
ing of the next Democratic national
convention ut Cincinnati. Many sug-
gestions were made and conversational
debate took place. Some members IA
vored as early period as the last week
In March, while others desired the time
Of the assembling Of the convention to
be put on until July.
Finally, the frst Monday In June
next at IA m. was agreed upon unani-
mously. The committee then adjourned
"senator Broadhead COT Pennsylva-
MAJ deserves the thanks Of the coun-
try" says The Evening Star today, "for
the earnestness and businesslike man.
ner with which he has undertaken to
less abuses that grow out Of the habit
of putting on the final passage Of the
general appropriation bill until the ex-
piring moments Of the session.
"As Mr.. Toombs (Senator from Geor-
s1a) yesterday truly remarked, nine
tenths Of all the unjustifiable and perni-
eious special legislation, jobbing. etc,
embraced In amendments to such hOls,
are brought forward very shortly before
their final passage, many Of them in
dorSed with departmental recommended
tons at the earnest solicitation of mem
bere Of one or the other house of Con-
gress. The remedy of Mr.. Toombs, our
experience teaches, will prove q capital
one-that Is. the enactment Of q law or
rule forbidding the consideration Of any
Amendments 10 such bills, proposed
within . given time Of the end Of the
session.
This will insure that there shall be
ample time 10 criticize closely and dis
cuss fully every such amendment before
either house shall be called upon to dis
pose OF it finally. The Senate. we are
happy to say. seems unanimously dis
posed to second the praiseworthy effort
Of Mr.. Broadhead to put stop to this
most enormous abuse existing under the
Government"
Bells and belles-of every size and
quality-abound on Pennsylvania ave-
nue. this morning. The sleighing was
excellent and the weather delicious; for
the sun shone, yet did not make the
1cicles trickle.

Hair Problems.

Many Q young mother has been
shocked to and that her hair. which
formerly was glossy and luxur1ant,
seems to lose all Of It's life and beauty
after childbirth. Some who have had
lovely wavy hair have even had the
disappointing experience of having 1t
become straight and straggly.
IN the first place the young mother
must try to build UP her own physical
condition. It Is impossible to have
head of luxuriant hair when ones bodily
health is at a low ebb. Young mothers
often find 1t almost impossible to get
sufficiert rest and sleep, and lack OF
these are never conducive to any sue
cessful beauty program. For the sake
of herself as we'll as her child 1t be-
hooves every young mother to make u
her business to take excellent care Of
herself-seeing that she desn't allow
herself to become overfatigued ana also
that she eats plenty Of simple, whole
some foods. It Is always good plan TO
consult ones physician and md out
II there is some very definite cause for
an unhealthy condition of ones hair.
Anemia Is one of the most frequent
reasons for this trouble, and unless 1t
is checked 1t will cause hair to turn
prematurely gray.
After making sure that her health
is being properly cared for, the next
step for the young mother is to give
her hair and scalp some very defnne
attention. AS the most important
single factor In the health Of the hair

splendid tonic for falling hair.
Many women are so troubled with
falling hair after childbirth that they
fear they are to become permanently
bald. However. In the majority Of cases
this should not cause too much worry,
as the hair Is always falling more or
less. and new hair keeps coming In.
Scientists tell us that every ones hair
is completely replaced every two to six
years.
Most young mothers will ind II ad-

ments regularly. Before the shampoo
brush the hair thoroughly, divide into
strands and with q small toothbrush
or a piece of absorbent Gotten apply
warm olive oil or mineral oil to every
part Of the scalp and hair. Apply two
or three hot towels in succession, bind
ing each In turn around the head like
a turban. Leave the oil on for about
an hour and then shampoo with plenty
of warm water and good soap 1ather.
Rinse in several tepid waters and

David was greatly distressed but
David encouraged himself In the Lord

At the time David was perhaps At

they had taken away his cattle, his
wives and children Mutiny had
broken out among his own followers
and they were threatening to stone
him.
No wonder David was greatly dis
tressed. Who would not be under such
circumstances?
But IL Is one thing to be distressed
and quite another thing TO be dis
couraged. When things 70 badly fee
us 1t Is natural that we should be dis
turbed We can scarcely avoid feeling
oppressed when misfortune sweeps upon
US. But whatever befalls US, no matter
how greatly distressed we may be, It
behooveS US 30 hold on 10 our courage.
To become discouraged and give no
| Is worse thing than any disaster we
may suffer.
But David encouraged himself in
the Lord his God" At the moment he
had no earthly possession, except his
body and his clothes. Everything was
gone. But God was not gone. He
could no longer say. MY house. my
city. my property" But he could say
MY God" And herein he ENCOURAGED
| himself
Whatever we may lose, We have more
than enough TO fall back on, more than
enough TO sustain US. as long a. we
have God. As long as We have God
there Is no reason FOR discourag cement,
no occasion to surrender to any trouble
or misfortune.
The man who can say, Thou art
with me" can also say Though walk

AS a result the House had on It's

Tilson explained the dilemma TO the
House, and asked unanimous consent,
as the best way out Of the difnculty,
that the action Of the House In passing

It was a situation Garner long had
been waiting for. He had no serious
objection TO Tilson's request, but he did

Tilson the object.
The majority leader, probably sensing
that Garner was out to give him rtde
very carefully explained the whole
thing to him. Garner was unconvinced
Us the gentleman afraid the Senate
will pass the House bill and send II to
the President also?" he asked.
No. Tilson wasn't afraid Of that, but
ne didn't think the House should send
two bills to the Senate covering the
same ground. T1lson showed his i'm
patience. But Garner queried sarcas-
tically:
"Can the gentleman not trust the
Senate to at least refrain from passing
q House bill which has been sent over
there?"

trust the Senate. but he saw no need
