WASHINGTON, Jan. 31.-Senator
Beveridge occupied the attention of the
senate during: the day with a continua
tion of his argument in behalf of the
child labor bill. He had only reached
the legal and constitutional phases of
the question, after speaking for more
than-four hours, and an arrangement
was made whereby he will conclude to
morrow. In taking the position as to
power, congress could exercise any re
straint it saw fit on interstate com
merce, Mr. Beveridge met a fusillade
of questions by his colleagues and his
progress In argument was slow. While
he said the power to regulate was ab
solute he maintained that t:ie question
of policy would always restrain any
hurtful regulations.
The senate adopted a resolution di
recting the interstate commerce com
mission to report as to the commis
sion in Its employ held by C. S. Hanks
who recently stated before th? Boston
chamber of commerce that railroad
rates could be reduced 10 per cent
without Impairing dividends. The reso
lutions also asked for th- facts' on
which this statement was based. Botii
houses today adopted a joint resolu
tion continuing the Joint postal com
mission until its affairs can be wound
up.
South Opposed to the Bill.
r- Beveridge ,n hls address stated
that three-fourths of the cotton fac-
KiV.eS5f thl south were Ping the
Din, that the railroads rr th

were opposing it. and that the coal
mine operators of the south were op.
posing it. He said he would set forth
evidence of these conditions in the form
ei ainaavus.
Senator Tillman acknowledged the
very great evil of child labor in his
state, but he believed the question one

retorted Mr. Tillman, "I wouid to God

Colloquy With Spooner.
A spirited colloquy resulted between
Senators Spooner and RevprM err tvnon
the former asked if it was the position
vi ine inaiana senator that congress
had power to enact, under the com
merce clause of the constitution, a law
wnicn would prevent child labor in the
states. Mr. Beveridge replied that he
to held. Mr. Spooner indicated that
ne should later have something to say
aealnst that position, whereuoon Mr
Eeveridge retorted that the senator
could issue a "flat" If he saw fit, in
dicating at the same time that this flat
would be from the senate judiciary
committee.
"I issue the fiat for myself," retorted
Mr. Spooner.
"You did give a flat yourself," con
tinued Mr. lieveridge. "when you in
troduced a resolution directing the
Judiciary committee to advise the sen
ate on the constitutionality of the ques
tion involved." He then said that the
effect of the resolution was to make
Senator Spooner chairman of the sub
committee which would report on the
matter.
Mr. Spooner replied that he had bet-n
a member of tho enale for some time
somewhat longer than th senator
from Indiana, but he added ho did not
expect to b? a senator a.i Jong a.i th
senator from Indianaand that it was
not an unusual thins for the senate to

tee to report as to the potver of c in
gress to net on a given matter. "Th
fat lay in the adoption of that reso
lution," he concluded.

Mrs. Mary Meyer, Thomson avenue,
near Shell Road, Winfield, L. Y., N. Y.,
writes:
"I have been annoyed with a cough
for years.
"Often it was so bad that I could not
sleep half the
of Peruna. Two or three times a year I
am troubled with my throat.
"I always had to have the services of
my physician two or three times In
each cape.
"Although a user of Peruna, I never
thought of taking it foi my throat until
about two years ago.
"I tried Peruna to check it, and to my
great delight I was not troubled with
the smothered and choked feeling and
never have since.
"I can check it every time with
Peruna.
"I certainly would not be without
Peruna one minute."
The fight against consumption is be
coming a national problem.
Everywhere we hear of sanitariums
established at the expense of the state
for the treatment of the vast army of
consumptives.
The open air treatment, fresh air and
sunlight, are recognized by the medical
profession generally as being the great
est necessities in the treatment of con
sumption in all of its stages.
Dr. Hartman has for many years ad
vocated the fresh air treatment for con
sumption. At the same time he has
recognized Peruna as a useful palliative
for the many distressing symp.oms
which accompaci the white pHgun.

ple thought I had
consumption.
"A woman recommended Peruna to
me two years ago. I began to take
Peruna and now 1 am perfectly free
from a cough.
"I am glad to say that Peruna cured
me entirely. I take Peruna occasion
ally when 1 do not feel well and I also
give it to my children.
"Peruna is the best medicine for
coughs and colds. I have told many
people how much Peruna ha3 helped
me."
Peruna tends to lessen the cough, de
creases the expectoration, strengthens
the patient, increases the appetite and
in many cases procures sound, refresh

But the value of Peruna in the treat
ment of a case of consumption is not so
great as it is in the prevention of con
sumption. Since it is well known that consump
tion begins with a common cold or ca
tarrh, any medicine that can be relied
upon to relieve these must be regarded
as a preventive of consumption.
Thousands of cases of incipient con
sumption, or chronic coughs, or settled
colds, have reported Peruna as being a
safe and reliable remedy for thee ailments.
Mrs.Frances "Wilson, S2 Nelson street,
Clinton, Mass., writes :
"Had you seen me at the time of my
illness and now, you would not wonder
that 1 take delight in sounding the
praises of Peruna.
"My ailment was a severe cold which
at tacked tbebronchial tubes and lungs.
"I followed your special direct ions and
after using 6ix bottles of Peruna I was
on my feet again.
"I think Peruna a wonderful medi
cine." The promptness with which Peruna
relieves a fresh cold, and even removes
chronic colds, that have become
thoroughly established, is well-
known through-

out the entire
country. This
ranks Peruna aa a
reliable prophylactic against consump
tion. Mr. Wm. Swain, 4245 Stiles street, W.
Philadelphia, Pa., writes:
"Before I commenced taking Peruna
1 had used almost everything I could
think of for catarrh.
"I felt so tired when getting up in the
morning and my lungs felt dry aud
sore. No one who has not experienced
it can imagine how I suffered.
"I tried nearly everything recom
mended, but nothing did me any per
manent good.
"The first bottle of Peruna did me so
much good that I continued taking it
until completely cured.
"I cannot praise Peruna high enough.
I wish every one could know of it."
Those suffering from colds can do
nothing better than to procure a bottle
cf Peruna and give it a fair trial.

committee would be glad to get in
formation from the senator on the
question and that he would be glad to
do so.
"Of course," retorted Mr. Beveridg",
"I cannot give the senator Information,
nor can anybody else."
He then added: "Well. I might, but
tho senator does not think so."
Mr. Beveridge closed the Incident by
remarking that it rnicht be well to
postpone action until the supreme tourt
had pronounced on the subject.
"But there seems to be here." ho
added, "a junior supreme court with
