WASHINGTON, April St.-Tlio house resolution, appropriating $ax,0i to bring Aincrlonns In- Mexico back Jo' tho United States, was favorably uctitl on by the se.nate appropriations committee today, Senator Hcrah In his sptech declared that the "policy ue are urMiIng will Inevltablj lend to our taklnK every foot of tcrrltor to the I'nr.nnw canal, though I would regard tliHt ns a crime and h na tional ralamlty.'t Senator t.udge, who followed Senator Borah, criticised tho majority for refus- Ing to- nccupt an nmenitmcnt to the Justification resolution broadening its scope so as to refer to all Indignities suffered In Mexico In addition to lh In cldents at Tami'lco and Vera Cruz. I.orfgr nnd IlllrlicurW Tilt, Senator Hitchcock said that to have arcrpted the amendment would have shown discourtesy nnd tl arcsKcl to tho president.

"A to wo sent here to bn told thHt wc are discourteous because wo crltlclso the policy of h lcsnlutlon be cause It was offered by some ono or comes from the White House? Wo will not be held down like that. Wo cannot be charged with luck of manners. Presi dents and policies have always been criti cised hern and ol'wnys will be." Senator Lodge charged that the admin istration leaders sought to restrict the scope of the resolution for the reason thnt they hoped to keep Carranza and Villa from any alliance with Huerta.

Senator Lewis said that if Carranza spoke now In warlike tones It must be laid at tho door of senators who sought to have congress pass a resolution which would have been tantamount to a declaration of war, when the presi dent of the United States had made It clear that ho wanted peace. "Shall wo vote tho president of the United States a hypocrite? Shall wo vote to say that when he spoko to us he had !n his heart a lie?" asked the sen ator.

The intoxicating action of the small quantity of alcohol (in beer) is neutralized by the carbonic acid and the malt extract. Hops in small quantities stimulates the appetite and promotes evacuation, (or acts as a laxative.) Beer is very nutritious when consumed with meat, cheese and bread and it is greatly undervalued as promoting health and robustness, DR.
