Washington.--When congress came together immediately following the holiday recess it found itself con­ fronted with a stupendous amount of work which It was necessary to ac­ complish within a time limit of eight weeks. It is true that the appropri­ ation bills are in pretty good shape for early passage, but there are other matters of legislation which t£e Re­ publican majority Is determined to at­ tend to before losing control of the house, and then there are the Lorimer and the Ballinger-Pinchot matters to be disposed of, both of which are like­ ly to be provocative of acrimonious and long drawn out debate. The Republicans are determined ap­ parently to secure quickly the enact­ ment of the Longworth tariff commis­ sion bill. The present majority party hopes by means of a tariff commission law to cause trouble for the Demo­ crats when they are laying plans for tarifT revision next winter. The Re­ publicans hold that the country will object to tariff revision of any kind except in accordance with the rec­ ommendations of the tariff experts and that the Democrats if they at­ tempt such revision will meet with rebuke. Democrats Will Be Cautious. It is perhaps needless to say that the Democrats do not show any great fear that there is likely to be a ful­ fillment of the Republican prophecy, but nevertheless they are going to approach tariff revision with a great deal of caution and It is known that they have made up their minds not to do anything until harmony has been secured and every plan has been given the most careful consideration The debate on the Longworth bill promises to be one of the most Inter­ esting which has held the attention of congress for many years. Of course In a measure it will be a tariff de­ bate, but it will have an interest apart from the customs because of the known direct bearing which the enactment of the measure will have upon the future. The Republicans are banking on the creation of a gen­ uine tariff commission to help them win the presidency in 1912, while the Democrats are banking on the^ir abil­ ity to show that the contemplated legislation is only a late day effort of the Republicans to "save their ba­ con." Army Wants to Learn to Fly. Congress will be urged in the army appropriation bill to provide money to give the signal service corps of the United States an opportunity to ex­ periment with the aeroplane as an en­ gine of warfare. Every other great nation of the earth has a large fund at the service of the army for use in flying experiments. The United States officers complain that they are deprived of the means to keep abreast of the officers of other countries and that if the time of need should come and find them unprepared blame would be put upon their shoulders which properly should belong to con­ gress. The army has an aeroplane, but It has only one, and It has no funds by which properly to use the single fly­ ing.machine which it holds in posses­ sion. One or two army officers have resigned from the service because they were denied opportunity to con­ tinue a line of aerial experimentation and investigation in which their inter­ est was deep. These officers who have left the service were consider those best equipped by experience to develop the aeroplane as an instru­ ment of warfare. It seems probable that the iawmak ers will provide an appropriation this year to enable the signal corps to go ahead with its aeroplane work but if it does it will break a record' be cause the history of the pa8t shows that In all matters pertaining to war like preparations the United States congress has been a laggard. Democrats Are Perturbed. The non-partisan observer who comes to Washington at the pres­ ent time ought to have some lit­ tle enjoyment because nf tho per­ turbation manifested by 8ome of the Democrats over the senatorial situa­ tion in some of the states where the party has succeeded In electing legls latures. Candid Republicans admit that the Democracy In the lower house of congress thus far has mads valiant and seemingly successful at­ tempts to secure harmony in the ranks, with a fair prospect of having the compact of peace continued In force when full control of the bouse passes into the Democratic keeping. Th«re are so-called radical Demo­ crats and conservative Democrats in congress, just m there are radical and conservative Republicans, and the line of separation between them is very much like the line which sepa­ rates their opponents, the Republic­ ans. The radicals and conservatives of the present minority party have been affiliating receuil* with every evi­ dence of good fellowship and of well- giounded intention to go head on tfye road of accomplishment arm in arm. What the Democrats here fear is that the Democracy of the states of New York, New Jersey, Ohio and West Vir­ ginia will select men as United States senators who are known for their re­ actionary tendencies. Fear Effect on Next Campaign. For t'i>e sake of adding strength to the next national campaign, the Dem­ ocrats now in official iife here would prefer that men known neither as rampant radicals not yet as reaction­ ary conservatives should be sent to the senate from the four states named. The Democrats have declared them­ selves in congress as being members of the real party of progress. On oc­ casion many of them have Joined with the insurgent Republicans to secure what they consider to be salutary changes in the rules, and, in one or two cases, salutary changes in legisla­ tive measures. These leaders say that the country looks upon the Democratic party as really progressive, but that if four re­ actionary Democrats are sent from four great states of the Union to rep­ resent the party in the upper house of congress the effect will be exceedingly bad and that even with the impetus given by the recent victory the party may have trouble in winning in 1912. Democrats in the Washington service say freely and publicly that the state leaders ought to be guided to some e*tent by the national events of the last few years and should not allow themselves to pledge allegiance to men of a type which thinks that the "clock ought to he set hack." Weeks May Manage Taft Campaign. It seems to have been accepted as a fact by some of the politicians of both parties that John W. Weeks, a representative In congress from Massachusetts, Is to be the next chairman of the Republican na­ tional committee, succeeding Frank H. Hitchcock. Why Mr. Weeks' succession to the chairmanship of the great Republican party should be accepted as a fact it is hard to say, for as yet there is nothing yet but gossip and rumor and a trifling bit of activity back of the report Mr. Weeks conducted an able campaign on behalf of himself In Mas­ sachusetts at the recent election and he succeeded in winning a contest the outcome of which was admitted In advance to be extremely doubtful. Ths Massachusetts man, however, has had no wide experience in national politi­ cal affairs and this, combined with some other things which are sharply pertinent to the present situation, makes it seem doubtful to some of the more acute party leaders whether or not the congressman will be called to the helm of the party ship. Taft Will Rely on Crane. It can be taken for granted that from now on Senator W. Murray Crane of Massachusetts will be one of the close. If not the closest, political ad­ visers of President Taft, who as the country knows Is In the field definitely as a candidate for re-election. Mr. Crane has peculiar political capabili­ ties. He never was able to make a speech which would direct more than passing attention, but he is an organ­ izer and a bringer together of factions of surpassing ability. There are men who say that there Is no other Republican In the country who knows political conditions In all the sections so well as does the junior senator from Massachusetts. The president always baa consulted Senator Crane and if John W. Weeks Is made chairman of the Republican national committee it will be on the advice of his fellow Massachusetts irian, the junior senator. Mr. Crane holds the key to the situation, but there is a good deal of doubt as to whether or not he will finally give his adherence to Mr. Weeks. } Murray Crane, who will looin large in the next Republican campaign, probably as a "manager without cam­ paign office," is known as "the Great Compromiser," a title which was given to the dead and gone Henry Clay. Mr. Crane, however, is no Clay, and perhaps if he is modest be will not pretend to be, but he Is one of the shrewdest politicians In the Re­ publican party and it is a man of his stamp rather than a great statesman whose services are required by a par­ ty that wants to win victories and es­ pecially by a party which must forge to the front handicapped by a recent and, as some people declare it, a crushing defeat. In Colorado they propose a law ma­ king It an offense for doctors to cut out patients' appendices unless it is , necessary. The enactment of such a Statute would enable us to foresee the time when professional ethics would require every dotftor to testify that all his brother practitioners' appendix- pruning was positively required.

Graustein Had a Forerunner In the Late Arioch Wentworth a Decade Ago. William A. Graustein, the milk con­ tractor, who recently attracted much attention all over the country through his advocacy of sand taken internally In teaspoonful doses as a remedy for dyspepsia, is by no means the first ad­ vocate of the treatment. He had a forerunner In the late Arioch Went worth a decade or more ago. During the Wentworth will contest in the probate court in July, 1903, Wil- loughby H. Stuart, Jr., Mr. Went- worth's grandson, testified that his grand lather used frequently to swal- ul of sand, Just as Mr. :ates doing. He cred- orth with saying: I have dyspepsia, and r it? I us^paud; and i. the chicfcfns take i"Od and wWy should ' Do you^tuke it? troubled ^vith dyg. the on pepsia come to me and I will give you some sand." Mrs. A. W. Erickson, wife of an­ other grandson, testified at the hear- ing that she also had been introduced to ttte sand treatment by the old gen­ tleman. "He prescribed sand for me, to be taken In water," she said. "It was what I should call regular beach sand, and he used to say that it was good for chickens and therefore ought to be good for human beings also. He told me to take a teaspoonful of sand every morning with water, and it would be a good thing for me." According to Mrs. Erlckson's testi­ mony, Mr. Wentworth did not limit his use of sand to these Internal doses. She stated that he used to sandpaper* his skin and say that his skin was "like ivory" as a result; He sometimes rubbed sand into his hair to clean the scalp, reoomoiending this as an excellent means -ot sham­ pooing the head. & REBELS DIE GANGRENE, 8UN8TROKE AND SUFFOCATION CARRY OFF 45 MUTINEER8. DUE TO FREIGHT RATES DEMISE OF ALL IS SUDDEN Riots Due to Political Dissatisfaction Reported In State of Para--Gov­ ernment Exercises Rigid Censor­ ship Over All Dispatches. Rio Janeiro.--Forty-four members of ths recent naval revolt, iuciutliug Joao Candido, their leader, have "died budtienly" in prison, according to the Journal do Commercio in Its Issue Friday. , Candida succumbed to gangrene while a prisoner, twenty-six of his as sociates died from sunstroke while engaged In repairing the fortress on Cobras Island and eighteen others were suffocated in their cells In the prison on Villegainon Island. When the latter of the two recent naval revolts in Braail was put down, three weeks ago, it was announced that the mutinous sailors had been sent to states remote from Rio Ja­ neiro, where they would be employed in the construction of highways and railroads. The mutineers had surren­ dered, and it was officially announced that the disorders were at an end. There are persistent rumors of dis­ turbances in the State of Para, on the north coast, due to political dissatis­ faction. Rioting is said to have oc­ curred at Para. Nictheroy, the capital of the State of Rio Janeiro, and situated across the harbor from the federal capital, is un­ der martial law, and the troops oc­ cupy all the public buildings. The rigid censorship maintained by the government since the revolt In the navy was put down mkkes It im­ possible to confirm officially these rumors of rioting at Para and else­ where in the republic. The censor­ ship Includes the newspapers here. Washington.--The report from Rio Janeiro that the forty-five ringleaders in the recent revolt in the Brazilian navy had "died suddenly" aroused in­ terest, but caused no surprise in this city. The recent naval revolts at Rio were particularly humiliating to the Brazilian government, and the sudden demise of Candido and his associates has been looked for. These men cap­ tured two of the n«ist powerful of modern battleships, dominated the city with the 13-inch guns and forced the government to grant the reforms the mutineers demanded. It is feared here that the "sudden death" of these sailors may yet cause serious trouble to the big South American republic IT IS RE8PON8IBLE FOR THE HIGH COST OF LIVING.

Duluth, Minn.--William Muzzary and Algot Johnson, each nineteen years old, bellboy and night porter of the Hotel McKay, turned bandits Fri­ day, killed a policeman, held up a car and are being sought for by the police. The two men held up and shot at the night clerk, bound and gagged two other men in the hotel basement and escaped with $50 belonging to the ho­ tel. They were arrested and placed on a street car after a chase through the Interstate bridge district.* While being tyken back to the city they asked that they be allowed to go inside the car. When the request was granted one of the youthful bandits drew a revolver from a i>ocket that had escaped the attention of Police­ man Harry Chesmore, who had made the arrest, opened fire on that officer and killed him. Chesmore was shot twice in the lungs and once in the forehead. The robbers then held up the passengers and crew of the car and escaped. As the bandits are heavily armed. It is feared that when their place of concealment is discovered there will be a battle.

New York.--The establishment of a commercial court for the voluntary set­ tlement of business disputes among merchants was decided upon Thurs­ day by the New York Chamber of Commerce ) Millionaire Says That People Are Bled to Pay Dividends on Nine Bil­ lions of V/atered Stock. Akron, O.--Declaring that excessive freight rates are responsible for the high cost of living, Ohio C. Barber, the iiiillioiiaii'6 match magnate, has sent a letter to every member of con­ gress demanding reforms. In addition to the regulation of freight rates, he demands that laws be passed that will effectually limit railroad and industrial capitalization. He declares the freight business of the railroads costs each family $87 a year. This latter, coupled with the other earnings of the railroads, he as­ serts, has boosted the average rall- rf^ad cost per family to $127 annually. Barber starts his letter to the con­ gressmen with these three demands: "What Is the matter with America? "What Is the matter with congress? "Why has the seat of government been transferred to Wall street?" Continuing, he says: "Personally, I appreciate fully the Importance of stability of vested rights in property, corporate or personal. "But I vigorously contend that the commission of excesses in the capital­ ization of corporate companies for­ feits Instantly the right to claim face value for such capitalization in the levying of a tax upon the American public for the payment of dividends upon this watered stock. And in this offense the railroads always have set the pace. "Conceived In the master minds of Huntington, Morgan, Hill and Harri- r an, this policy has been worked out to a nicety. These clothed the scheme in the pretty catch phrase of a 'com­ munity of interests' and cleverly set about to grab all the through trunk lines of railroad from coasfc to coast. "They argued plausibly, and with truth, that these trunk lines were the great arteries which maintained the life of commerce; that they were a ne­ cessity for quick transportation. "Approximately nine billions of this 18 billions of railroad capitaliza­ tion Is fictitious; purely and simply watered stock, upon which the people of the United States are taxed in rail­ road rates to maintain the annual div­ idends. "Despite this tremendous stock wa­ tering, the railway net earnings have advancbd steadily and the average div­ idend rate has more than doubled in the last 15 years. "In 1894 the dividend rate was 1.66 per cent. Last year it averaged 3.68 per cent, and the railroads earned a net Income of $852,153,280. "And the people paid the freight! "Railroad presidents indignantly deny that freight rates affect the cost of existence. James J. Hill and W. C. Browne declare low acreage produc­ tion by the farmer Is responsible for high prices. "Trust magnates disagree. All seek to shift the responsibility. S. R. Gug­ genheim s&ys It Is extravagance on the part of the laborer. Ogden Ar­ mour says It Is the law of nature. "This one problem of railroad freight rates is the great economio question of the age. Were it fairly solved all other lines of commerce and trade would soon adjust them­ selves and a more equitable distribu­ tion of the products of business would result.

LOVE AND THE AEROPLANE Some Good Advice for Those Daring Mortals Who Would Do Their Courting Aloft. Secure a nice roomy aeroplane, and place in it an old-fashioned sofa or armchair. Then put the girl in, get in yourself and turn on the power. Do not be in any hurry. Get far enough up so that you can be preoc­ cupied for a few moments without landing. It is Just as well to strap the girl in. She can't get away, of course, but you can kiss a girl in an aeroplane much easier if she Is firmly secured. Always keep one hand on the steer­ ing apparatus and the other on the girl; but if worst comes to worst, let go the steering apparatus. The following schedule, if adhered to, will prevent ordinary accidents: Five hundred feet up, hold girl's hand. Six hundred feet up, arm around her waist. Seven hundred feet, d^op everything and hold girl, working eteering appa­ ratus with both feet. Be careful when you alight, not to come down near a church. In the ex­ citement of the occasion you may for­ get yourself and marry the girl. Many fatal accidents have resulted ia this manner.--Puck. STUBBORN ECZEMA ON HANDS "Some nine years ago I noticed small pimples breaking outCSin the back of my hands. They becaia •) very irritating, and gradually became worse, so that I could not sleep at night. I consulted a physician who treated me a long time, but it got worse, and I could not put my hands in water. I was treated at the hos­ pital, and It was just the same. I was told that it was a very bad case of eczema. Well, I just kept on using everything that I could for nearly eight years until I was advised to try Cuticura Ointment. I did so, and I found after a few applications and by bandaging my hands well up that the burning sensations were disappearing, I could sleep well, and did not have any itching during the night. I began after a while to use Cuticura Soap for a wash for them, and } think by using the Soap and Ointment I was much benefited. I stuck to the Cuticora treatment, and thought If I could use other remedies for over seven years with no result, and after only having a few applications and finding ease from Cuticura Ointment, I thought it deserved a fair trial with a severe and stubborn case. I used the OinV ment and Soap for nearly six months, and I am glad to say that I have hands as clear as anyone. "It is my wish that you publish this letter to all the world, and if anyone doubts it, let them write me and I will give them the name of my physi­ cian, also the hospital I was treated at."

Based on reports from all parts of the United States the National Aa elation for the Study and Prevention of Tuberculosis has Issued a statement which shows that In 1910 nearly $15,- 000,000 was spent In the fight against tuberculosis, as opposed to $8,000,000 spent in 1909. The largest item of ex­ pense In 1910 was for treatment in sanatoria and hospitals, $11,376,500 be­ ing expended for that purpose, or more than double the amountior 19p9. The anti-tuberculosis associations spent $760,500, and the tuberculosis dispensaries $889,000. The special mu> nicipal and state expenditures aggre­ gate $1,750,000. The statement declares that the most significant fact In the survey of the year's work Is the Increase In the percentage of public money spent. While In 1909 BS 5 per cent of the total expenditure was from federal, state, municipal or county funds, 62.6 per cent, came from public appropria­ tions In 1910. The actual amount of public money spent in tuberculosis work this past year was $9,267,900, or more than double the amount from this same source In 1909. This fact indicates, the national association de­ clares, that anti-tuberculosis associa­ tions are gaining ground, by securing increased appropriations from public money. Due Precautions. In a town In Georgia there was an old preacher whose knowledge of the world was not wide nor deep, but wtio conceived it to be a place where, If one should trust his fellow men, he should at the same time keep an eye on bis own Interests. One hot day he pulled off his coat and preached a vigorous sermon, un­ der the pines, in his shirt sleeves. At the close of the open-air service one of his admirers approached him and said, regretfully: "I don't suppose that you knew that the editor of one of the big New York Sunday papers was here when you pulled off your coat." "I reckon I knew it well for I'd been told of It," said the preacher, calmly. I don't believe he's as bad as he might be, and anyway, I put my coat on the chair close by and had it right under my eye all the time."-- Youth's Companion. OLD COMMON SENSE. Change Food When You Feel Out «f Sorts. "A great deal depends upon yourself and the kind of food you eat," the wise old doctor said to a man who came to him sick with stomach trou­ ble and sick headache once or twice a week, and who had been taking pills different medicines for three or four years. He was induced to stop eating any sort of fried food or meat for break­ fast, and was put on Grape-Nuts and cream, leaving off all medicines. In a few days he began to get bet­ ter, and now he has entirely recover­ ed and writes that he 'is in better health than he has been before In twenty years. This man is 58 years old and says he feels "like a new man all the time." Read "The Road to Wellville," In pkgs. "There's a Reason." Mr*!" iiu.
