THE EXTRA SESSION
HAS BEEN STRENUOUS ONE ALL
THE WAY THROUGH.
LAUGHTER PLEASING TO GOO
ADJOURNMENT IS AT HAND
Memorable Struggle Over Issues of
Which Reciprocity Was the
Notable Result.
Washington. Congress- will ad
journ before Tuesday, night, possibly
Monday, and the most strenuous ses
sion of recent years will pass into
political history. The net results of
the extra session, in comparison with
the ambitious program adopted at the
outset were not large.
Canadian reciprocity was brought
as near reality as the executive and
legislative departments could ad
vance it; statehood was assured for
New Mexico and Arizona; campaign
publicity legislation was enacted in a
form satisfactory to its most earnest
advocates; provision was made for
an enlarged house of representatives,
Lased on the latest census, and a few
other measures of minor Importance
were passed.
A democratic house, the first since
1895, seized on this session as a ve
hicle to convey to the country the
views of democrats on tariff revision,
but executive disapproval rendered
futile all efforts to impress those
views on the statute books.
Two tariff bills, one materially re
ducing the existing duties on wool
and woolen goods of all classes and
the other placing on the free list ar
ticles of machinery and tools used by
farmers and amended to include
many other items, were vetoed by
President Taft He based his disap
proval on the grounds that the bills
had not been "scientifically" prepared
and that tariff revision should wait
until reports on the different sche
dules had been made by the tariff
board. A cotton revision bill awaits
a similar fate.
The house, under the leadership of
Representative Underwood of Ala
bama, chairman of the ways and
means committee, and Speaker Clark,
endeavored to pass the woolen and
free list bills over the veto, but the
necessary two-thirds vote could not
be mustered. These failures to over
throw President Taft's veto were a
strong factor in determining leaders
to close the session, and it is not like
ly that congress will be in session to
receive a veto to the cotton measure.
Trust investigations without num
ber were instituted during the ses
sion, and some of them, notably those
bearing on monopolies in steel and
sugar, were prosecuted with vigor.
They still are in progress.
Constructive legislation to bear on
federal regulation of corporations is
regarded as certain to come from
these inquires. Plans already have
been instituted to revise the anti
trust laws.
General arbitration treaties with
3rcat Britain and France were sent
to the senate by President Taft, but
they received a frigid welcome, be
cause the upper house contended
that one provision of the treaties
usurped the senate's constitutional
prerogatives.
Nowhere In iblical Lore Can There
Be Found Intimation of Any
Other Idea.
We misjudge and distort the nor
mally human nature of the Savious
when we picture him going through
life, as Dante did after he had writ
ten his "Inferno," with the shadow
of perdition on his brow We may
gravely question when it was that the
cross began to darken our Lord's
pathway; there is no hint of such
a foreboding until we reach the mid
dle of his ministry. From that on
there are occasional tokens that he
saw Calvary ahead of him. and was
at times pressed down with a dread
ful sense of the inevitable agony
which awaited him at the end. But
all this is very far from affording any
reasonable ground for the conclusion
that he smiled sometimes, but never
laughed.
If God did not intend us to laugh,
on occasion why did he endow us
with the capacity to laugh, with a
sense of the humorous, with the fac
ulty to see and enjoy wit, fun and
the absurd side of life; and, further
more, why did he produce so many
things and people to laugh at?

the living room, where Mrs. Graham
was entertaining a caller from the
fashionable hotel
"Why, Greg," his mother greeted
him, "you mustn't come In here like
that, dear. Go 'straight upstairs and
take off your bathing suit first:"
A few minutes later Mrs. Graham
turned toward the door in curiosity
as to what sight there had sent her
visitor's eyebrows up so high, and in
the same moment her son's cheerful
voice rang out:
"I tooted it off. mother, like you
told me to. I'm coming in now for
some cake."

very convenient when turning stock
from one pasture to another.
When the wire support i3 used to
keep the gate from sagging, one may

18 or 20 feet.
Tuberculosis Patients Neglected.
Out of more than 225 public hos
pitals for the insane, with a popula
tion of fully 150,000, only 70, or less
than one-third, make any provision
for their tuberculous inmates, and
this, too, in spite of the fact that the
percentage of deaths from this dis
ease is very high among this class of
people. Such is the substance of a
statement made recently by the Na
tional Association for the Study and
Prevention of Tuberculosis. Seventy
hospitals in 28 states, providing all
told about 3,350 beds for tuberculous
insane patients, sums up the provision
made for this class of sufferers, al
though the percentage of deaths from
tuberculosis among the insane ranges
from 50 to 200 per cent, higher than
among the general population.

Poor fuel makes a poor fire and a
poor fire is not a good steam producer.
"From not knowing how to select
the right food to fit my needs, I suf
fered grievously for a long time from
stomach troubles," writes a lady from
a little town in Missouri.
"It seemed as if I would never be
able to find out the sort of food that
was best for me hardly anything that
I could eat would stay on my stomach.
Every attempt gave me heartburn and
filled my stomach with gas. I got
thinner and thinner until I literally
became a living skeleton, and in time
was compelled to keep to my bed.
A few months ago I was persuaded
to try Grape-Nuts food, and it had such
good effect from the very beginning
that I have kept up its use ever since.
I was surprised at the ease with which
1 digested It. It proved to be just
what I needed.
"All my unpleasant symptoms, 'the
heartburn, the inflated feeling which

PROPER TIME TO CUT GRASS
Haste Makes Waste When Crop Is
Hurried to Barn Not Fully Cured
Thorough Drying Needed.
(By "WALTER LEUTZ.)
As to the best time for cutting
grass, it does not pay to be In too big
a hurry. When the grass is young
and tender and seemingly succulent
in the fresh state. It Is harder to cure,
dries and shrinks more, and has not
nearly the food value of the more ma
ture crop.'
While the opposite extreme should
be avoided, cutting before the seed Is
so ripe as to scatter, there is much
more nourishment in the matured
stalk, and one farmer who was com
plimented for bringing his cattle
through the winter on a minimum
amount of grain and yet keeping them
in good flesh, attributes his success
largely to this fact.
Haste makes waste when the crop
Is hurried to the barn not fully cured.
Hay cut green requires more thorough
drying than that almost overripe.
Young uucks.
The cause of mortality among young
ducks may be traced to overheat,
dampness, getting wet, lack of grit,
grayhead lice, sudden showers, de
layed hatches, exposure to sun, lack of
fresh water, drinking vessels too shal
low, breeding stock out of condition.
Ducks kept on land must be sup
plied witfc fresh water three times a
day.

LAWYER CURED OF ECZEMA
"While attending school at Lebanon,
Ohio, in 1882, I became afflicted with
boils, which lasted for about two
years, when the affliction assumed tha
form of an eczema on my face, the
lower part of my face being inflamed
most of the time. There would be
water-blisters rise up and open, and
wherever the water would touch it
would burn, and cause another one to
rise. After the blister would oDen.
the place would scab over, and would
burn and Itch so as to be almost un
bearable at times. In this way the
sores would spread from one place to
another, back and forth over the
whole of my upper lip and chin, and
at times the whole lower part of my
face would be a solid sore. This con
dition continued for four or five years,
without getting any better, and in fact
got worse all the time, so much so
that my wife became alarmed lest It
prove fatal.
"During all this time of bolls and
eczema, I doctored with the best phy
sicians of this part of the country, but
to no avail. Finally I decided to Try
Cutlcura Remedies, which I did, tak
ing the Cutlcura Resolvent, applying
the Cutlcura Ointment to the sores,
and using the Cutlcura Soap for wash
ing. In a very short time I began to
notice improvement, and continued to
use the Cutlcura Remedies until I was
well again, and have not bad a re
currence of the trouble since, which Is
over twenty years. I have recom
mended Cutlcura Remedies to others
ever since, and have great faith in
them' as remedies for skin diseases."
