JOHN TEMPLE GRAVES, Washington. April is—Prom , white House has come a sweep- jenial of the report that Presi- . t wiison was about to issue a Tarnation declaring he favored [gland’s contention In the matter of L panama Canal tolls. Ue statement is simply that Presi- J, Wilson is not “about to issue a Tclamation on th's matter and that [has not as yet taken up the prob- n and decided it.” Th ere is no denial that the Presi- - t . s v iews are definitely understood Id that they are as I have stated it Is not likely that so wise prudent a diplomat as James »y C e would have misrepresented to ' English people the attitude of the Erican administration. Senate's Firm Stand. ■The one matter of supreme impor- L te to the American people is the itinued attitude of the American Kate toward the Panama tolls with 1 without servile regard to the ex- jtive branch of the Government, ipon this question no man is per- | ps so well authorized to speak ns mcs O'Gorman, Senator from the | a;e of New York, chairman of the Jmmittee on Interoceanic Canals, Id perhaps more potential than any Ker man in the Senate on the ulti- Ete decision of this question. ■Stnator O’Gorman, I am authorized III, to say, stands firm in his posi- „ for tolls free for American coast- „ ships operating through the ■nama Canal. , c |He says that he believes the Sen- , ; s with him on this question, no Jtterwhat the President or anybody £e might say. iThe New York Senator holds un- langeably that this is a question of J. i : ii]H.!■ tance to the nation that Ich Senator must determine for him- Ivvhen the Root bill, which provides 1st American coasting ships shall |t be exempt from paying tolls, was |fore the Interoceanic Canal Com- Ittee at the last session it was laid Jthe table by a vote of 10 to 3. Sen ior O'C.urman is chairman of the new Bnmlttee. He says that the new Immittee is as strongly In favor of e exemption of coasting ships as the ■d committee. He feels confident Et the Seriate will adhere to its liginal position, when the original leal act was pa*ed by a vote of Isonator O’Gorman and other friends 1 the canal hold resolutely that the ■ministration of that waterway is a ■ rely domestic question, in which no ■her nation is concerned so long as I Government of the United States Jeats all other nations equally. Eenator O'Gorman and many other lemocrats contend the Question of je administration of the canal is not (political question. They say it is a latter of domestic economy pure and Inple. President Wilson may have pe view or he may have another; he Is not yet definitely let it be known That his views are. ■ But when he does, these views, ■ese Senators say, will be given Areful consideration, and Senators ■ill then vote fearlessly and inde pendently for the policy their own Adgment dictates as the best policy, lit is not known that the President ■tends to* seek to influence the Sen- le on this subject. Senators are as- iming that he will not. Should the ■resident attempt to control Senators 1 this subject, it is safe to predict Iven at this early day that he will ut- *r|y fail to accomplish his purpose. |Xo time is to be lost bringing the libject to an issue. The bill of Sen ■or Root is before the committee. I Issue Up Tuesday. I Senator O’Gorman issued a call for e first meeting ot the committee to f held next Tuesday. The Root bill ■ill receive the consideration so se- ■ous a subject requires. Senator loot may ask for hearings. If he loes, reasonable hearings probably ■ill be granted. The test in commit- e, however, will come on a motion * lay the bill on the table. [This motion will prevail by a two* ■Ards or perhaps by an even greater [ote—the most emphatic of all votes. I It will require a complete reversal K opinion in the committee to reopen pe canal subject. 1 Senator O’Gorman is convinced here will be no repeal of the toll ex- nption for American ships. Get Two Lessons For Price of One. I have two pupils whose instincts are more commercial than artistic,'’ said a music teacher who lives In In man Park. "They have caused mo much amusement by a little trick with which each gets two lessons for the price of-one. They are friends st ? rted coming to me together. am giving a lesson to one the other listens, and then in turn the sec- ond listens to my criticl*ms of her friend. 1 believe each is learning fas ter than she could if she had come alone.” Used His Tobacco To Balk the Moths. ‘ Never lay In a supply of your fa vorite tobacco in the spring,”, said a confirmed smoker, whose home is in East End. Why not,” asked his friend, “doesn’t it keep well?” Not that. You may do as you please if you’re not married. But last week I stocked up with my favorite brand—the one that’s almost too costly, you know. Well, yesterday I went to fill my pouch, but never a bit of tobacco could I find. My wife heard me hunting and explained. It seems she had been putting away things for the summer and being out of moth balls had used my tobacco as a substitute. That’s why I have added a new one to my list of don’ts.” Bird in Window Attracted Crowd. A little flower store in Whitehall Street hit on a plan the other day for a window display which drew a crowd that blocked the sidewalk. The plants in the window were arranged to give the effect of a flowerstrewn bit of greensward. That wasvery pretty, but the thing that drew the crowd was a bird that hopped about picking up seeds and hunting its dinner among the plants without the slightest trace of the self-consciousness of the “dem onstrator.” HAVE YOU CATARRH?

Didn’t Know Himself After Losing Beard. “I’ve heard of absent minded per sons,” said a barber, “but the strang est case I ever know of happened in this shop to-day. "A customer who has been wearing a beard for years, and has come in once or twice a month to have it trimmed, came in this morning and had it taken off. After the operation I wouldn’t have known him if I’d met him in the street. “But a stranger thing was that he didn’t know himself. When he got out of the chair and looked at his face in the mirror he turned around to see who the strange chap was whose face he saw in the glass." Feed Their Appetites Through Their Eyes. "Did- you ever watch the crowd that gathers in front of a window „f a cafe or restaurant where tempting eatables are displayed?” asked a woman. "It certainly affords an opportunity for thought. The other day an old woman with a faded shawl stood and gazed longingly at the tempting delicacies. She moved away and her place was taken by a man whose ap pearance indicated that he spent much time on the benches in the park. As I watched these two walk away with unsatisfied appetites. I wish I could have taken them inside and giv en them what they would like, but I didn’t have the price.” How HP Got Rid of “Rush Orders.” "Several times in the past few weeks we have been called to the phone by some woman who was trying to get a meat market," said a bachelor who keeps house with several other men. "Apparently this woman had a way of giving the butcher shop's num ber so that is sounded like ours. The voice was always the same and the woman invariably had a rush order. It was amusing at first, but it be came tiresome. So last week I did something.” "What did you do?” "I took her order for a dozen chops to be sent around at once and she hasn't given me an order since.” CLEAN UP HOSTS OVERRUN CITY Thousands of School Children Enlist Recruits for the Annual Beautifying Campaign. "Let nol a house escape!" was the order given to-day when an attack ing army of school children was turned loose upon the householders of the city, The forces were organized, equipped and instructed by the City Federation of Women’s Clubs and the Chamber of Commerce for .the annual engage ment against the winter’s accumula tions of dirt and refuse. The foray into the enemy’s country to-day is only a preliminary skirmish The real battle will come to-morrow when the householders, properly subdued, will join with the children and give the city the most thorough cleaning- up it ever has received. Each of the youngsters was armed with a card. On it was a blank for the householder's name. A signature indicated that the owner or occupant of the house pledged himself to assist in the big clean-up tp-morrow; to clean the sidewalks, paint his build ings, plant flowers in the front yard, remove the refuse from the back yard or perform any other task that was greatly needed about his home. Children Asked to Insist. The children were instructed not to leave any home until they had the signature. Forty thousand of these cards were in the hands of the children when the campaign began to-day, more than enough to go Into every home In the city. The young people will turn them back to their teachers Monday and the teachers will give them to representatives of the City Federa tion of Women’s Clubs. The schools which produce the largest number of signed cards in proportion to the at tendance will be given prizes. When the suggestion was made that many of the persons who were persuaded to sign the cards might proceed to forget all about their promise, Mrs. Charles J. Haden, president of the federation, said: Pledges Nearly All Fulfilled. “It is a remarkable fact that last year practically all of the pledges were fulfilled. The people owning and occupying houses appeared to be as enthusiastic about “clean-up day” as the children themselves. They took a pride in having their own yards and buildings as spotless as those of their neighbors. s “But we are going to see how it works out this year. Those who fail to keep their pledges will he discov ered, for the women of the federa tion are going to make a trip about town in about a week to see just what has been accomplished. “The last of the cards were distrib uted yesterday. More children are in- erested in the 'clean-up day’ than last year. All are moro eager and enthusiastic. I think that it will be even a greater success than last year.” “Chicken Pie To-day” Stirs Up Whole Street. Flapping his arms to right and left, raising them over his head, describing eccentric orbits with his hands, a sailor in the uniform of the U. S. Navy crossed the Forsyth Street viaduct yesterday at about 1 o’clock. Such unusual conduct was enough to draw the attention of every one in the street. Some stopped to watch him, with amused smiies. As the "Jackie ’ approached a superstitious negro dodged. The sailor seemed not to notice what a stir he was making. He kept his eyes skyward. "Crazy as a loon,’’ remarked one pe destrian with a grin. "Oh! I guess not,’’ answered his companion. "Look up there.’’ In the window of the recruiting sta tion stood a petty officer watching in- tently. , , . "He’s wig-wagging, explained a by stander. "I was in the signal corps once myself. What he telegraphed was that the lunch room on the corner has chicken pie to-day.” negroTugilist seeks home in society section CHICAGO, April 18.—Word has been received in Chicago that Jack Johnson, negro pugilist, was negotlat. ing for an estate in Rutherford, N.

CHICAGO SWITCHMEN AND RAILROADS COMPROMISE LONDON FASHION “Maiden’s Blush” and “Hitchy Koo” Are Names Given to Other Late Styles. LONDON, April 18.—Half of fem inine London crowded the show-1 rooms of a dressmaker, who by a Ju dicious use of a title, combined with artistic sense, has succeededin mak ing for herself a special place among the costumers of ihe world. Dainty frocks for debutantes were distinguished by quaint titles. ‘ ly Best Girl” was a delicate blue tus sore calling dress; "Maiden’s Blush” was a dance dress in rose-petal satin; “Hitchy Koo” was a pale blue serge coat and skirt; “First Kiss” was a calling suit In pink charmeuse; while "Cutest Little Thing” was a del icate mauve pink crepe tussore dress, with ivory lace. Every evening corsage was slight and diaphanous. Most were of chif fon with embroidered edges and ki mono sleeves. *A success was achieved by the "Eldorado,” a white satin din ner gown with a high black velvet belt, from which iong wide streamers depended to form the train. An original ball dress named “L’Heure Supreme” was made with folded draperies of hydrangea blue chiffon from the waist, with glimpses of blue and green satin. This gown eclipsed the delicate radiance of “Aphrodite," a bright rose charmeuse dance frock with a wide scarf to match. Altogether nearly 100 dresses for the 1913 season were shown. They make it clear that draperies narrow at the feet and ample at the hips, with the waist in the natural position, but hign in front and slightly over hung by the bodice at the back, and the belted coat and V-shaped opening at the throat will characterize the fashions of to-morrow. Psychology Bureau For U. S. Advocated Professor Munsterberg Would Test Workers’ Mental Capacity for Their Occupatidn. WASHINGTON, April 18.—“A Government bureau in the Depart ment of Labor, it seems to me—a bureau of psychology, if you please— ought to be established for the ex amination of persons who are en gaged in the industries,” declared Hugo Munsterberg, professor of psy chology in Harvard University, who spent some time with President Wil son yesterday. "I have long advocated Federal ex amination of persons in the indus tries,” continued Professor Munster berg. "My plan would be to have a corps of experts in psychology make a study of persons engaged in all kinds of industrial work, with a view to de termining their fitness for the employ ment they select. The mental capac ity of men and women is just as im portant as their physical soundness. ’ CHICAGO, April 18.—Railroad switchmen and general managers of Western railroads entering Chicago to-day have settled their difficulties. A compromise was reached under which the switchmen agreed not to push their demand for time and one- half for overtime and the railroads granted an increase in pay.

Some undigested food is left n the stomach daily, which the liver should clear away. A heavy or un usual diet, or a change in water, may cause the liver to leave a few particles to press and clog, and the next day more are left over. So this waste accumulates, clogging stomach and Intestines, and caus ing constipation. That is not all. If the waste is not eliminated it ferments and generates uric acid, a poinson which gets into the blood and through the system.

It effer vesces agreeably. Take it before breakfast and in an hour you’ll feel splendid. Don’t take an inferior substitute; some closely imitate the name, but none produces the same result.
