LARGE SUM OF MONEY
FOR THE NAVY.
VOTED
T IS 135,000,000
An Appropriation that Calls for Two
New Battleships and Five Tor
pedo Bort Dcctroyers.
Yv'iiidiingtoii---lixaetly ns repotted
y the committee the naval program
for the ilseal year PMn was adopted
by the house of representatives and
the ii v a I appropriation bill was
passed. The opponents of tlu nay
increase feature of the bill found
themse lves In a hopeless minor i.v.
The only vital alteration made In the
measure was Hie striking out if the
provision restoring marines to navr.l
vessels'. The aggregate amount ap
propriated by thp bill is $i::r),iM)0,tiiio.
As has been the case in the pa:t,
the incrense in the naval estimate
gave r!sn to extended and heated de
bate, in which members were afforded
an ppori unity to air their views of
the Japlanese question. The peace ad
vocates were much In evidence in op
position to such Incrense, while tli
adherents' o.f the proposition were
alive at nil times to every move mad"
to cut down the number of vessels
authorized.
Speaking in support of un iinieud
nient. by Mr. Finley (S. C.) striking
out the battleship provision, Mr. Hart
hold (Mo.) declared Ihat If there ever
was a time when such an appropria
tion was unwise and unnecessary it
was now. "It Is unnecessary," he
stiid, "because we arc at peace with
all the world and what Is more, we
have wisely niaiv.iM'd to safe-ginrd
cur pence us it lias never been sttfe
gllfrded before."
lie would have congress provide for
the necessities of the peaceful de
velopment of the country. "There is,"
he declared, "something besides Hie
big stick which secured our national
peace."
The Finley amendment was rejected.
Hy a vote of 108 to l.r8 the house
sustained the committee provision of
the bill calling for two battleships.
The house overwhelmingly refused
to strike out the provision for five
torpedo boat destroyers.
Mr. Waldo (N. Y.) advocated nnd
Mr. Hardy (Tex.) opposed naval In
crease. Chairman I'awney of the ap
propriations committee attacked the
proposition for incrense and support
ed tne Dinloy amendment, bor?us
he said, he did not believe it neces
sary nt this time to add two of the
greatest battleships simply to excel
other nations.
Mr. lawney spoke of the Jap.tnese
fit nation.
"I am getting somewhat tired," he
said, amid Inud Miplause, "of these
annually recurring wars with Japan
which c-ctir simultaneously with the
consideration of the naval appropria
tion hill."
"During every week of the year.'
said Mr. Tawney, "we hear much
about our peaceful relat'oti with Ihat
or other countries, but when wo come
to consider the n.'ivnl rpnroprlnCon
bill the newspapers Immediately are
tilled with ured'etions of whrtt is go
ing to happen."

THE CHILD'S SAVING INSTITUTE.
Engaged in the Noble Mission of
Protecting and Saving Desti
tute and Helpless Children.
The chief object cf the work of tho
Child Saving Institute is to save nnd
protect destitute and helpless chll-"
dren. For the most part it is support
ed by ihe free gifts of philanthropic
n.eii an 1 women of O.uaha. Such an
ii.stitute could not long surv.ve in a
mail community where the peoplo
are as a r de iinaiiie to make large
contributions. Experience shows that
charitable organizations of the magnl
tule and effectiveness of the Child
Saving Institute can subsist only In
large population centers, where, of
course, there is the greatest need of
Its kind olllcs. In the absence, of
such organization in the small towns
dependent children must he taken
Into the hornets of benevolent men and
women who thus assume the burden
for the community and in some cases
these good people enn ill afford to do
ro. In every town and village there
re examples of this work of humani
ty, so that everybody has come to
now nnd to realize the absolute
necessity for providing some system
atic means of caring for uiifuriunatt
children. This Is why well-to-do.

willingness to oontribtit" to the sui-
port of the Child Saving Institute.
which has from itn origin received
destitute children from many places
outside of Omaha. In every case of
this kind the Institute not only re
lieved the local community of tho
burden of caring for such children,
but it brought to tho relief of the
children a f.vstematic. efficient means
of protection nnd care as the result of
much study mil experience an equip
ment impossible to a small town.
The olllcers of the Institute do not
stop to Inquire whether the people of
any community have done their full
duty hy the dependent children re
commend d for admission to the in
stitute; they r.re taken In ard givett
the best possible care, nnd later
placed i'lJo good homes in this or
some other community. It is purely a
work of humanity, deserving of tho
sympathy nnd support of every man

Third Ave., Moline, 111., writes:
' 1 have been su ft'erinff from ca tnrrh
in (lie head for the past two months
ami tried innumerable so-called reme
dies without nvuil. No one knows how
1 have suffered not only from the dis-
ene itself, but from mortification W'hen
in company of friends or htrnngers.
1 have used two hot lies of your med
icine for a short time only, nnd it
effected a complete medlcal'cure, nnd
what is better yet, the disease lias not
returned.
"I can most emphatically recommend)
Pernntv to all sufferers from this dis
ease.
Rend This Experience-
Mr. A. Thompson, liox CI, R. R. 1,
Martcl, Ohio, writes: "When I began
your treatment my eyes were inflamed,
'hum wns s:oppcd up half of the time,
ami was wire and scabby. I could not
rest nt, night on account of continual
hawking and spitting.
'I hud tried several remedies and was
about to pive up, but thought 1 would
try Perumi.
'"After 1 had taken about one-third of
a bottle I noticed a difference, I am
now completely cured, after suffering
with catarrh for eighteen years,
'I think if those who' lire afflicted
with catarrh would try Pcruna, they
would never regret it."
