COUGHED SO HARD HE
WAS READY TO DIE
Judging from the countless prepara- |
tions and treatments which are con-
tinually being advertised for the pur-
pose of making thin people fleshy, de-
veloping arms, neck and bust, and re-
placing ugly hollows and angles by the
soft curved lines of health and beauty,
there are evidently thousands of men
and women who keenly feel their ex-
cessive thinness.
Thinness and weakness are often due
to starved nerves. Our bodies need
more phosphate than is. contained in
modern foods. Physicians claim there
is nothing that will supply this de-
ficiency so well as the organic phos-
phate known among druggists as bi-
trophosphate, which is inexpensive and
is sold by most all druggists under a
guarantee of satisfaction or money
back. By feeding the nerves directly
and by supplying the body cells with
the necessary phosphoric food elements,
bitro-phosphate should produce a wel-
come transformation in the appearance;
the increase in weight frequently being
astonishing.
Increase in weight also carries with
it a general improvement in the health.
Nervousness, sleeplessness and lack of
energy, which nearly always accom-
pany excessive thinness, should soon
disappear, dull eyes brighten and pale
cheeks glow with the bloom of per-
fect health.
CAUTION:—While Bitre Phophate
is unsurpassed for the relier of ner-
vousness, general debility, etc., those
taking it who do not desire to put on
flesh should use extra care in avoid-
ing fat-producing foods.

SICK MAN SHOOTS.
Nearly everybody knows that char-
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize its value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans-
ing purpose.
Charcoal is a remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not &
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and car-
ries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath af-
ter smoking, and after eating onions
and other odorous vegetables.
. Charcoal effectually clears and im-
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a- natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
It absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another, but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart’s Charcoal Lozenges; they
are composed of the finest powdered
Willow charcoal, and other harmless
antiseptics in tablet form or rather in
the form of large, pleasant tasting lo-
zenges, the charcoal being mixed with
honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condition
of the general health, better complex-
ion. sweeter breath and purer blood,
and the beauty of it is, that no possi-
ble harm can result from their contin-
ued use, but on the contrary, great
benefit.
A Buffalo physician, in speaking of
the benefits of charcoal, says: “I ad-
vise Stuart’s Charcoal Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stom-
ach and bowels, and to clear the com-
plexion and purify the breath, mouth
and throat; I also believe the liver is
greatly benefited by the daily use of
them; they cost but twenty-five cents
a box at drug stores, and although in
some sense a patent preparation, yet I
believe I get more and better char-
coal in Stuart’s Charcoal Lozenges than
in any of the ordinary charcoal tab-
lets.”

“Last December I caught a heavy
cold, which left me with a deep-seated
cough. I coughed so hard it would
start the blood. I thought I was a
goner, until I tried Milks Emulsion. I
used 9 bottles altogether. My cough
is gone, and I have gained nine pounds
in five weeks. If anyone doubts it,
let them write me.”—Chas. L. Walters,
147 So. 18th St., Pittsburgh, Pa.
When hundreds upon hundreds of
people tell you of just such recovery,
just such gains in weight, it must be
worth your trying, at least. A trial
costs nothing.
Milks Emulsion is a pleasant, nutri-
tive food and a corrective medicine. It
restores healthy, natural bowel action,
doing away with all need of pills and
physics. It promotes appetite and
quickly puts the digestive organs in
shape to assimilate food. As a builder
of flesh and strength. Milks Emulsion is
strongly recommended to those whom
sickness has weakened, and is a pow-
erful aid in resisting and repairing
the effects of wasting diseases. Chronic
stomach trouble and constipation are
promptly relieved—usually in one day.
It produces remarkable results in
colds, coughs and bronchial asthma.
This is the only solid emulsion made,
and so palatable that it is eaten with a
spoon like ice cream. Truly wonderful
for weak, sickly, children.
No matter how severe your case, you
are urged to try Milks Emulsion un-
der this guarantee—Take six bottles

rections and if not satisfied with the
results, your money will be promptly

London, Feb. 24.—Sir William Orpen,
the distinguished artist, has refused an

“It is quite true the offer of £1,000,-

Denver, Colo., Feb. 24.—Nursed by
the wife of the man he killed, Charles

at a local hotel seriously ill of in-
fluenza.
The killing came when Edward Bell
Rodgers of Green River, Wyo., entered
the room where Brown and Mrs. Rodgers
admit they have been living several
months as man and wife. Rodgers
reached for his pistol. It caught in his
pocked and Brown drew a. gun from be-
neath his pillow and shot.
“I am not sorry,” Brown said last
night. “I shot to defend myself and
the little woman who has nursed and
cared for me.”
After shooting Rodgers three times
in the heart, Brown calmly lay back on
his bed and awaited the coming of offi-
cers. He was too ill to be removed to
jail or to a hospital and a guard was
placed over him.

Paris, Feb. 24.-—Socialists of the most

jority of the delegates sent from Seine
federation to the national congress to
be held at Strasbourg this week. The
conservative wing of the party is
greatly in the minority as the result of
an election of delegates held by the
federation on Sunday. Of the 24 dele-
gates fifteen will be under the leader-
ship of M. Loriot, who is in favor of
the immediate seizure of capitalistic
power and its replacement by soviets
or something similar to them. The re-
construction socialists led by Paul
Faure, will have nine delegates while
the conservatives will have but one.

Amsterdam, Feb. 24.—A tour of soviet
Russia has been made by a staff corre-
spondent of the Handelsblad, who is
writing a series of articles describing
conditions throughout the country and
in the army as coming under his per-
sonal observation. He deals with the
morale of the soviet armies, the com-
pulsory military system, the ridicule of'
atrocities reported in the foreign press,
divisions in the red army over bolshe-
vism and the well to do, as well as the
poor in the soviet regime.
“Russia has been completely mobil-
ized,” he says, “with all the able bodied
men of the country from the minimum
fighting age up to 35 years and with
officers regardless of age. There is no
alternative and they are obliged to
fight under the general administration
of the commissionaries who are bolshe-
vist to the backbone. This operates

New York, Feb. 24.—Theater-going
passengers on an express bound up

fumed and fretted last afternoon while
the train ran at quarter speed with fre-

curtains to rise on matinees came
perilously near, a self-constituted com-
mittee called on the motorman for an
explanation. He was peering anxious-
ly out of his cab window at a bewil-
dered brown and white terrier running
between the rails.
"The pup can’t run any faster,” the,
motorman explained, “and I ain’t going
to run over him. That stands if we
don’t get to Times square till night.”
At Times square the terrier still was
ahead of the train, but going at a
greatly reduced pace.

Washington, Feb. 24.—Possibilities
of a substantial break in the Demo-
cratic peace treaty ranks in the senate
impelled influential Democratic sena-
tors to move for a caucus to discuss a
possible change in party policy and re-
vived the hopes of the Republicans that
the treaty might be ratified with the
Republican reservation adopted at the
last session of congress.
On the Republican side, it was as-
serted that the twenty-two Democrats,
only a few short of the number re-
quired to insure ratification, had signi-
fied a willingness to quit the lead of
President Wilson and take the Republi-
can reservation program as it is. This
total, the administration chiefs de-
clared exaggerated, but they conceded
that were a vote taken at once on the
Republican ratification it would com-
mand more than the seven Democratic
votes it got last November.
The movement for a Democratic cau-
cus may bring- into the open, its spon-
sors believe, the dissatisfaction that
has smouldered in some Democratic
quarters since the president sent his
memorable letter to the caucus of Nov.
29, asking that-the senators of his
party vote against ratification on the
basis of the Republican reservations.
The seven senators who disregarded his
advice have been active constantly in
their effort to dissuade others from the
stand then taken, and it has been an
open secret that their move, coupled
with current political developments,
has met with some success.
SIXTY-FOUR VOTES . REQUIRED.
But among both Democrats and Re-
publicans it is realized that the en-
deavor to break down Democratic re-
sistance still has a long way to go if
it is to succeed. Sixty-four votes are
required to ratify the treaty and al-
though 34 Republicans voted for rati-
fication in November, the party leaders
are sure now of the support of only
30. That leaves 34 to be delivered by
the Democrats, a dozen more than the
figure which represented the peak of
Republican claims today.
In the belief that time is fighting on
their side, the plan of the Republican
leaders is to first clear away collateral
issues of the treaty disagreement when
the subject comes again before the sen-
ate. The next reservation to be con-
sidered in the revision being under-
taken on the senate floor is the trou-
bleseme qualification of article ten,
against which the president has di-
rected his principal criticism; but the
.Republicans expect to ask that it be
laid aside until all the others have been
acted on.
Meantime, it is pointed out, a Demo-
cratic caucus may have developed the
real strength of the movement among
Democratic senators to break away
from past policy of resistance and put
the treaty through. Should a majority
of the 47 Democrats vote in the caucus
to make such a move, it is expected by
the Republicans that the effect would
be to bring over the votes needed for
ratification.
In these calculations, however, neither
side loses sight of the possibility that
the White House may again use its in-
fluence to stiffen the backs of the ad-
ministration senators, or that the pres-
ident may, if an unacceptable ratifica-
tion impends, withdraw the treaty from
senate consideration. He might take
the latetr course, it is suggested, to
express at the same time his dis-
pleasure with the senate reservations
and his unwillingness to have the na-
tion become a party or any terms in
the Adriatic settlement.
PARTISAN POLICY.
Neither is it concealed that broad f
questions of party policy are involved 1
in the problem of ratification, now |
generally admitted by leaders to have 1
been thr.ust into the political campaign. ’
Privately, the senators pressing for
acceptance of the Republican reserva-
tions confess themselves out of accord
with the president’s Jackson day
declaration for a “solemn referendum,”
and they are seeking to disassociate
senate Democrats from any appearance
of indorsing that proposal.
In the caucus, therefore, this group
is prepared to plead that the treaty be ।
ratificed on the Republican specifica- |
tions so that the president, if he then I
Southern Agricultural
Workers Confer.
By Associated Press.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 24.—Extension of
agricultural development and means for
bringing about closer co-operation
among the farmers of the South are
the principal objects to be discussed in
addresses in the 21st annual conven-
tion of the Association of Southern Ag-
ricultural Workers which began here
today. The convention will last three
days.
The program for today provides for
addresses of welcome to the delegates
of Dr. Tait Butler of Memphis, Tenn.,
president of the association; J. J.
Brown, commissioner of agriculture of
Georgia, and Mayor Candler of Atlanta.
This was followed on the progam by
an address by Dr. Bradford Knapp,
dean of the Agricultural college and di-
rector of the experiment station of
Fayetteville, Ark., outlining a policy to
be followed for the extension of agri-
cultural work in developing larger
farms through local and state Organiza-
tion of the farmers.
At tomorrow morning’s session, Dr.
H. A. Morgan, president of the Uni-
versity of Tennessee, will speak on
an agricultural policy for the guidance
of producers in the Southern states.
Reports on the co-ordination of inves-
tigational work conducted by the vari-
ous experimental stations will be pre-
sented by the Agronomy committee,
headed by C. A. Mooers of Knoxville,
Tenn.
The afternoon and evening session
of tomorrow and Thursday will be tak-
en up with sectional meetings, includ-
ing the following: Field Crops and
Fertilizer Section, Animal Husbandry
and Livestock Section, Extension Sec-
tion, Horticultural Section and the
Psychopathological Section. In these
meetings detailed reports will be pre-
sented on a wide variety of subjects.
Some of them are:
Reports of L. O. Watson, cotton ex-
pert, United States Department of Ag-
riculture, on co-operating cotton breed-
ing for wilt resistance; Professor Geo.
Roberts, University of Kentucky, on co-
ordination of soil fertility work; Dr. H.
B. Brown, Mississippi Agricultural col-
lege, increasing of corn production by
selection and hybridization; R. Y. Win-
ters, North Carolina experimental sta-
tion co-ordinating farm crops work.
Livestock questions coming under
the Animal Husbandry and Livestock
section, to be presented, will take in
the feeding of beef cattle in the South,
rations for wintering steers; discontin-
uance of movement of tick—infested
cattle, and the results obtained through
investigational work by the livestock
committee.
E. R. Miller, field agent of the De-
partment of Agriculture, will address
the delegates of the extension section
tomorrow, according to the program,
and will urge adoption of a program to
create more intense interest among the
farmers in agricultural betterments.
What the extension workers of the
South may do to solve marketing prob-
lems, authority for which is limited by
the Smith-Lever Act, will be discussed
by J. A. Evans, chief of the office of
extension work in the South, United
States Department of Agriculture.
Horticulturists and pathologists rep-
resenting their respective sections will
discuss at a union meeting Thursday
matters relating to the agreement
reached at a meeting in Birmingham
on methods of co-operation.
Dr. W. M. Riggs, president of Clem-
son college, South Carolina, will bring
the convention to a close Thursday
morning with an address on European
work with the American army.
Officers of the association aside from

“The soldiers,” he says, “are polite
and there seems to be quiet and agree-

a month for the soldier, 3,20-0 for a
company leader and 4,200 for a regi-

the czar’s army, six of whom are serv-
ing on Trotzky’s staff, get 6,000 rubles
a month. Nobody in Russia receives a
larger salary with the exception of
Lenine, who now gets 8,000 rubles a
month.

the suggestion that it might throw
over the president’s advice or show a
majority against the past in the present

that the caucus proposal apparently
had grown out of a stiffening in the
Republican ranks, which, in turn, re-
sulted from the action, of the senate
Saturday when the irreconcilable oppo-
nents of ratification seized the balance
of power and used it to prevent any
modification of the Republican reser-
vations, it was argued, the mild reser-
vation Republicans were shown that
modification in the interests of com-
promise would be impossible and that
the whole reservation group, including
article ten, must stand or fall together.
Bearing out this contention, mild
reservationists who heretofore have
predicted the article ten provision could
be modified if necessary, said yester-
day that the only chance of ratification
now seemed to rest in the possibility
that enogh Democrats would accept the
provision unchanged.
Who initiated the movement for a
Democratic get-together conference
was not apparent, but the move was
understood to have the indorsement of
Senator Underwood of Alabama, a can-
didate for the Democratic leadership,
and other influential senators who have
been urging that every effort be made
to bring about ratification. Senator
Hitchcock of Nebraska, thea cting party
leader, was not in Washington, but will
return today.

he considered a lack of co-operation :
between the legislative and executive I
branches of the government.
“It is the prime business of the gov-
ernment to solve these problems,” he
said, “it is safe to say that we should
have been much further along the road
to their solution, if, since the armistice,
the legislative and executive branches
of the government had been of one ।
mind with respect to the principles |
which must guide in their solution. It |
can no longer be denied that the execu- I
tive branch of the government has been
handicapped by a hostile and barren
congress. Not only has it refused to
support the president in his plans, but
it has failed to offer any plans of its
own.”
The attorney general cited the recom-
mendations of President Wilson last
summer concerning living costs and
taxes and declared that all of them had
been ignored.
“In view of this abdication of all re-
sponsibility by the congress, because
dominated by a political party hostile
to the administration, the wonder is
not that we have done so little, but
that we have accomplished so much in
solving after-war problems,” he said.
