ON LONG SESSION
ANTI TRUST LEGISLATION LOOMS
as b:g business at this
SESSION OF CONGRESS.
SUPPLY MEASURE PASSED
The Ar.ti-Trust Experts Are at Work
m Both Houses —A Period of
Great Activity Begun.
Washington.—Congress settled down
to its long regular session after a
recess dating from the passage of the
currency hill just before Christmas.
The coming administrate anti-trust
legislation loomed up as the big busi
ness of the winter; but with the pros
pect of waiting until the president’s
message both houses turned actively
to other matters.
In the house return to work was
celebrated by prompt passage or the
■first of tlie annual supply measures,
the District of Columbia appropriation
bill, and the introduction of the usual
opening day batch of miscellaneous
measures. The senate began debate
on the Alaskan government railroad
bill.
Anti-trust experts in both houses
began a period of extraordinary activ
ity. to end when the anti trust pro
gram is written into law before the
close of the session.
Chairman Clayton and Representa
tives Carlin and Floyd of the house
committee, are reviewing the long list
of anti trust measures already before
the committee. It is not probable that
any of these bills will be accepted as
a part of the administration plan, but
all ttie ideas embodied in them will
he considered. Senator Newlands of
the senate commerce committee ex
pects to take up the anti-trust pro
gram soon.
Representative Webb of North Car
olina Introduced his bil Ito strengthen
the Sherman iaw by declaring illegal
every contract, combination or con
spiracy in restrain of “any part” of
trade and designed to reacli so-called
gentlemen's agreements or understand
ings. His hill would put the burden
of proof of reasonableness upon the
defendants.
SEISMIC SHOCKS IN JAPAN
Volcanic Eruption Follows Shocks and
People Are in Panic.
Tokio, Japan. -A series of 350 slight
earthquakes shook the town og Kago
shima at the southern end of the island
of Kiushin. They were followed by the
eruption of a volcano on Sakurn, a
small island in the Gulf or Kagoshi
ma, where two villages were burled
in ashes.
The earthquakes continue incessantly
and the work of rescuing the inhabi
tants of Sakura by boats across the in
tervening three miles of water from
Kagoshima is extremely difficult.
Warships have been dispatched to
Kagoshima with doctors and supplies.
Railroad and telegraph lines are now
broken.
The town of Kagoshima is in great
danger, according to the latest reports.
Earth shocks and violent volcanic
eruptions continue. Inhabitants are
fleeing for their lives. The popula
tion of the Island of Sakura is about
35,000. and it is impossible to estimate
the casualties. It is feared many have
perished.
The volcanic eruption on Sakura be
gan with thunderous explosions and
the volcano became a roaring furnace.
Burning rock and ashes set fire to
several villages.
Two Negroes Lynched.
Tampa/! JPla.—News was received
here of a - double lynching between
here and Mulberry, when a mob is
alleged to have captured two negroes
charged with assault on a white man
named Collins, and strung them up to
a tree. According to meager details
of the crime brought here, Lewis Peck
and an unknown negro assaulted Col
lins, supposedly in the belief that he
was the man who had testified against
them in a court prosecution. The
lynching has stirred the large number
of negroes engaged in the phosphate
fields at Mulberry to a high state of
excitement.
Trust in God, Says Marshall.
Washington.—lnfidelity and discus
sion from the pulpit of the latest bits
of scandal were scored by Vice Pres
ident Marshall, in an address to the
Woman's Missionary Society here. He
declared he would rather have the
American people bow down before an
image than acknowledge no God at all,
adding that if the republic is to en
dure “We must go back and place our
faith in God.” “What this country
needs,” said the vice president, “is
not laws, police nor large armies. It
needs men with backbone.”

U. S. ARMY IS UNPREPARED
UNITED STATES SHY OF FIELD
GUNS AND ALSO OF
AMMUNITION.
General Wood Paints Doleful Picture
of Army to Congressional
Committees.
Washington.—Explaining that his
judgment was not influenced by the
Mexican situation, Major Genera!
Wood, chief of staff of the army, lias
advised committees of congress that
they should appropriate $3,000,000 for
field guns and ammunition
“If you sent our troops into war as
they are now, without guns or ammu
nition, it would be absolute slaugh
ter,” the general told the house mili
tary committee. “If called into the
field suddenly, we should have to go
with a small allowance of ammunition,
and we should have neither guns nor
ammunition enough for our field artil
lery forces.”
General Wood, in a written state
ment, said;
"We neither have guns nor ammuni
tion sufficient to give any general com
manding an army in the field any as
surance of success if attacked by an
army of equal size which is supplied
with its proper quota of field artil
lery.
“It is my belief that no modern war
between first class powers will last
for one year, and unless private manu
facturers are encouraged to manufac
ture ammunition for our guns, after
war is declared, they will not be in a
condition to do so until after the war
is finished.
“The war department believes after
extended study that, in cases of war
with a first class power, an army of
500,000 men will be needed to give
this country any chance of success
against invasion, and that this force
will be needed at once.”
The general suggested that the
United States regular mobile army
should be organized into three infan
try and two cavalry divisions with
an aggregate war strength of about
75,000, requiring 54 batteries, or 216
guns.

4 United States Seamen Drown.
Norfolk, Va. The capsizing in
Hampton Roads of a motor cutter from
the battleship Wyoming, flagship of
the Atlantic fleet, resulted in the loss
of the lives of four seamen of the
Wyoming’s crew. The accident occur
red near the very spot where a launch
from the battleship Minnesota went
down in 1907 with the loss of eleven
lives, mostly young midshipmen re
turning to the Minnesota in a storm
after midnight following a social af
fair at the Jamestown Exposition
grounds.
Three Dead and 25 Hurt.
Macon, Ga.—Three lives were lost
and more than twenty-five persons in

The wreck was on Gum Creek trestle.
After the locomotive and baggage cars
passed over a broken rail, the day
coach appeared to have been lifted
skyward, then over the embankmant
and a heavy Pullman plowed into the
rear of it.
Good Bowels Are
An Aid to Growth
Growing Children Need a Mild
Laxative to Foster Regular
Bowel Movement.
As a child grows older it requires
more and more personal attention
from the mother, and as the func
tions of the bowels are of the utmost
importance to health, great attention
should be paid to them.
Diet is of great importance, and the
mother should watch the effect of cer
tain foods. A food will constipate one
i and not another, and so we have a
. healthy food like eggs causing bilious
ness to thousands, and a wholesome
fruit like bananas constipating many-
It is also to be considered that the
child is growing, and great changes
are taking place in the young man or
young woman. The system has not yet
settled itself to its later routine.
A very valuable remedy at this
stage, and one which every growing
boy and girl should be given often or
occasionally, according to the individ
ual circumstances, is Dr. Caldwell s
! Syrup Pepsin. This is a laxative and
tonic combined, so mild that it is
given to little babies, and yet equally
effective in the most robust constitu
tion. At the first sign of a tendency
to constipation give a small dose of
Syrup Pepsin at night on retiring, and
prompt action will follow in the morn
| ing. It not only acts on the stomach
and bowels but its tonic properties
build up and strengthen the system
generally, which is an opinion shared
by Mr. John Dey of Bloomfield. N. J

How He Made It Out.
Mrs. Jones and Johnny had only a
few minutes ago boarded the train
when the conductor called for "tick

duced hers.
“How old Is your boy, madam?”
Quick as a flash Johnny was down
between the seats on his head and the
mother replied, “Six years old.” As
this procedure was not understood, and
as Johnny looked too large for six
years, the conductor said, “I did not
understand you, madam.” Johnny
grinned and spoke out proudly, “Don’t
you know that nine turned upside
down is six?”
Calumet the Secret of Economy
The high cost of living nowadays, and
the way prices are steadily climbing sky
wards, is making economy in the kitchen
even more important than it was in the
good old days of our thrifty ancestors.
But how to achieve economy? There’s
the rub!
In many lines, it depends almost en
tirely on the housewife’s knowledge of
foods and on her watchfulness—but for
tunately, in one lirfe, baking, economy
can be made almost automatic by the use
of the famous Calumet Baking Powder.
Economy in baking, as every good cook
knows, depends not so much on economy
in buying the materials as on the success
of her bakings. Failures mean waste—
bigger losses by far than the savings she ■
makes in buying. And the fact that Caiu- !
met absolutely prevents failures and !
makes every baking successful has made |
it the favorite of every cook that seeks
to be economical. In other words, Calu- !
met is the secret of economy in baking.
It is the purest, too—attested by hun- ;
dreds of leading physicians—and as for
its general quality, it is enough to say ;
that Calumet has received the highest i
awards at two World’s Pure Food Exposi- 1
tions—one in Chicago, 111., and the other
in Paris, France, in March, 1912. Adv.

The Secret of Health
is Elimination of Waste
Every business man knows how difficult it is to keep the pigeon holes and drawers
of his desk free from the accumulation of useless papers. Every housewife knows
how difficult it is to keep her home free from the accumulation of all manner
of useless things. So it is with the body. It is difficult to keep it free from the
accumulation of waste matter. Unless the waste is promptly eliminated the machin
ery of the body soon becomes clogged. This is the beginning of most human ills.

MAKES AIM ALMOST CERTAIN
Invention Said to Guarantee Every
Shot a Bullscye, Even in
the Dark.
Charles Pechard. a police official of
Paris, has invented an attachment
that enables one to shoot a revolver
more accurately in the dark than in
broad daylight, the New York Inde
pendent states. .
This attachment consists of a metal
lic tube with a lens at one end and a
tiny electric lamp at the other. By
means of mirrors the light is directed
Gut through the lens as a slender cone,
and is sufficiently strong at a distance
of some four rods for all practical pur
poses. In the middle of the illumina
ted field there is a small dark spot
which coincides with the line of the
bullet's flight. This enables the inex
perienced shooter to hit a selected
part of the burglar’s anatomy with
more certainty than he could display
in ordinary target practice.
The electric current is supplied by a
small dry battery or a storage battery,
which the officer can carry in his pock
et or which the defender of the home
can place under his pillow. The light
tube can be attached to an ordinary
pistol, and it may be used as a flash
with peaceful intent or merely as a
show of force.
