815 Dawson street, waived exami-
nation Wednesday morning on
charges of possessing and trans

U. S. Commissioner W. A. Wylie,
who ordered him held for the Octo-
Der Is term of Federal court.
He was freed under $500 bond.

ton rendered by the Ladies' Con-
cordia society for members,
friends, men and women in the
armed forces, will follow imme-
diately after the service.
The Thursday morning service
will begin at II o'clock. The rab-
bi will deliver a sermon. Follow
ing the morning service the fruits,
vegetables and flowers used in
connection with the Sukah will
be distributed to the sick, poor and
needy of the community. The
Temple of Israel services are al
ways open to the public.
Sukos, the Feast of Taber
nacles, has twofold significance
Primarily it was a harvest festi
val, the character of which wa:
| for ancient Israel much what oul
national Thanksgiving Day is tt
us. Then, too, it was intended tt
remind the Jewish people of the
providence of God, in that during
their march into the Holy Lane
they were protected from every
danger, even though they were
compelled to dwell in frail huts
Reform Jews celebrate the Fes
tival for period of eight days
while their more Orthodox breth
rem observe the Festival for {
ninth day. Involved in the cele
bration of Sukos this year is thu
reminder of the obligation O.
prosperous peoples to care fol

campaign ends.
You will be interested in know
ing that as of October 6, the States
total sales were STA, 10000 which
is '120 per cent of our quota. The
Treasury department also gave us
a quota of sales to individuals on
ly, which is included in the States
quota, of course, and which they
arbitrarily set up as 70 million dol
lars. We had, as of October S. re.
ported sales to individuals totaling
S62, 100000, which is nearly 80 per
cent of our quota.
Another very interesting thing
is the fact that in the Second War
Loan the total sales of f bonds
was SIG, 452,0 900 and up to October
6, the total E bond sales amount
ed to q million, ,1early a 40 per
cent increase, and this will go still
higher by the time the final tabu-
lations are made.

Do you feel neutrality-suspicious.
-tired-due to sluggish, consti-
pated condition? Do you want faster and
more effective all-around relief than you
can get from an ordinary simple laxative
alone? Then, as medical science proves.
YOU should do two things:
l. Get liver bile flowing freely.
2. Clear out the intestinal tract. =
To do both, take double-acting Carter's
Little Liver Pills tonight. The first thing
Carter's usually do while you're COM
fortably asleep is to increase the flow Of
liver bile-a vital digestive juice. This
helps to digest your food properly. This
first Carter action alone may make you
feel much better when you wake up!
Then, Carter's second action helps re-
lieve the sluggish condition that may cas-
ily be at the bottom of all your headachy,
depressed, tired feeling.
Carriers double action is due to their
special formula. Thousands know how
well they work. Get Carriers Little Liver
Pills today-only 25e at any druggists.
Take as directed. You'll be glad you did.

production of food will play an

in the fact that the American
people pay only half as much for
maintaining Congress, which makes
all our laws and is the people
main check on the executive and
judicial branches, as they pay for
maintaining the Bureau of Indian
Affairs.
The annual appropriation for
Congress, including salaries, cler-
zeal hire and all other expenditures
is about $13,0O0,00O This is, Mon
roney says, no slap at the Indian
Bureau. It's just one fact that DEM
onstrates there's something wrong
in our government structure.
Another example is the hard
working House Interstate and For
eign Commerce Committee, that
handles all our laws regulating
transportation and trade 1t has to
deal every year with thousands OF
attorneys, yet doesn't have one on
its staff. Only rarely do the COM
mittees have funds to hire ex-
perts.
Whether the present bill will get
anywhere remains to be seen, but
Monroney, who has been studying
the matter for a year and a half
and Senator Maloney who, Mon
roney says, really wrote the bill,
think it will, especially since its
bipartisan.
The authors already have antici-
pated opponents by saying that
somebody will probably dub it the
Maloney- Monroney- Baloney bill but
already a lot of serious minded
members of Congress think it's far
from that.

came as Knox and ranking Naval
officers unfolded a program for
building up the personnel strength
to 100000 men by July, 1914.
The House subcommittee laid be-
fore Congress supplemental Ma
