friend. GEORGE e. GRAY. who departed
this life one year ago today. March IL.
There are some who miss you sadly,
And find the time long since you went.
There are some who think of you always,
And try to be- brave and content.
Gone is the face we liked so we'll,
Silent the voice we liked to hear:
'Tis sad, but true, we wonder why
The best are always the first to die.

If you feel sour and sunk and the world looks punk, don't swallow lot of salts, mineral water, oil, laxative candy or chewing gum and expect them to make you suddenly sweet and buoyart and full of sunshine
 For they can't do it. They only move the bowels and a mere movement doesn't get at the cause. The reason for your down-a1d-ou- feeling is your liver. It should pour out two pounds of liquid bile into your bowels daily.
 If this bile is not flowing freely, your food doesn't digest. It just decays in the bowels Gas bloats up your stomach. You have thick, bad taste and your breath is foul, skin often breaks out in blemishes. Your head aches and you feel down and out Your whole system is poisoned.
 It takes those good, old CHAPTERS LITTLE LIVER PILLS to get these two pounds of bile flowing freely and make you feel up and up." They contain wonderful, harmless, gentle vegetable extracts, amazing when it comes to making the bile flow freely.

Mount Vernon.

Although no definite action was
taken by the House Committee on
Public Lands at the conclusion of a
hearing just held on the Treadway
resolution looking to the purchase of
Mount Vernon by the Government, it
is quite evident that the measure will
not be reported favorably to the House
This is gratifying. The resolution Is
not direct proposal for the acquisi-
ton Of the shrine, but merely an in
struction to the Secretary of the In
terror to determine on what terms and
conditions Mount Vernon might be ac-
quired. Its adoption, however, would
be tantamount to an expression by
Congress that this end should be ac-
complished. 1t is best that any move
in this direction should De averted.
Mount Vernon stands today virtually
as it stood when George Washington
occupied 1t. This Is the result of the
devoted services of a group of women
representing all the States who have
not only maintained it intact, but have
from time to time recovered pieces of
the original furnishings and restored
them to their setting. They have, with
the funds supplied by the small fees
charged for admission to the grounds,
restored the mansion. replaced worn

parts, strengthened the structure to
withstand the severe strains incident
to its crowding by visitors, installed
fireproofing and established fire-hght-
ing measures, maintained the grounds
in beauty and otherwise rendered the
historic establishment an object OF
perpetual interest and a source Of in
spiration to the American people.
1t is by no means assured that under
Government ownership and control-if
that could be effected, which is doybt-
ful in view of the terms of the prcSer-.
title of the Mount Vernon Lac =
Association, even with the assent of the
asSociation-Mount Vernon would be
maintained in the manner in which 1t
has been preserved during the long
period Of its present management. The
spirit of the women who, through more
than two generations, have discharged
this trust could not be replaced by
Federal agencies, hired under annual
appropriations. Mount Vernon is to-
day the place of beauty, the authentic
souvenir of the personality and the
character of George Washington and
the inspiring token of his life and the
scene Of his death because of the man
ner in which the association has dis
charged its trust.
The small fee charged for admission
is trif1e compared with the privilege
which is afforded at Mount Vernon to
great numbers of people to stand in the
place where Washington lived and
where he died 1t is not burden. 1t
is gladly paid by those who make the
pilgrimage to the shrine 1t causes
those who pass through the gates to
feel that they are participating in the
upkeep OF the mansion and the grounds.
The only point that may be pressed
with propriety is whether the gates
should be opened on Sunday, when the
greatest number of persons are able to
make the journey to Mount Vernon
Against such an opening it is urged
that, with all the safeguards that have
been adopted, the mansion is even now
taxed severely by the crowds that enter
it, and the addition of the great num-
bers who would flock to it on Sundays
might prove dangerous to it. That is
an engineering matter. which may
eventually be determined by examina-
ton and tests. If the structure is
capable of withstanding the additional
burden of many thousand more visi-
tors it might with propriety be opened
at the week end for their accommo-
dation.
