Don't Scratch, You Can Get Cu-tl-clajr at

A well-known Chicago dentist. Dr. 8. E.
A . while extracting a tooth, scratched his
finger. Boon the arm was frightfully
swollen to his. shoulder. Several swollen
glands formed and it looked like blood
poisoning. In about an hour after he ap
plied Cu-tl-clay all pain, swelling and
fever were gone. It is simply marvelous.
The physician in charge of the Ha Is ted
Street dispensary has nut Cu-ti-clay to
many trying tests. In his district work
ine people rush in with all sorts of burns,
cuts, bruises and akin diseases. I)r. Has
kell says: "I have put Cu-ti-rlay to very
•evere teats and in every case nm pleased,
■atisflefl and surprised; and in cutaneous
lesions (erxet^a, etc.>. its action was quick
an,i derided " Doctors recommend Cu-ti-
clay and publicly endorse it because it Is
not a patent medicine but a pure, atrange
product of nature—nothing added or taken
from it. A. D. P.. a wealthy manufacturer
In Chicago, cured his eczema of the hands
by Cu-ti-clay. Another prominent man
cured his little daughter'* scalp of a pe-
culiar eruption. The doctors had nothing
that even relieved it. Cu-ti-clay is cer-
tainly a grand discovery. Nsture la a
profound mystery in forming such a
■trance and extraordinary cure.
You can get a package of Cti-ti-clay
at any drug store for 23 cent*, or will be
mallei upon receipt of price. If you wish
to first demonstrate what the wonderful
rn-ti-clny will do for you send your drug-

three new tariff schedules are ready. If
tariff differences should arise between
the new Houso and Senate, the session
wiquestlonably would bo u long one In
this connection, however, the interesting
fact was developed today tne President
has a constitutional right to bring the
'< ssi >n t.> mi 11<i in case the two houses
-f Congress cannot agree upon a time for
adjournment. Such action, it. is admitted,
would be revolutionary and there is
thought to bo little likelihood that any
President would care to invokp the pov^r
ves e<i in him by section 3, article 2 of the
Constitution.
HIOTOL'S SCENES AT CDOSE.
The old Congress ended amid scenes of
extraordinary excitement and uncertain-
ty. In the House the disorder at times
during the closing hours, when the suc-
* ■ i ful filibuster against the tariff board
bill was in progress, became almost a
riot.
Representative Johnson of Kentucky,
glaring angrily at Speaker Cannon,
shouted above the general roar of eon-
fusion, that but for the Speaker's gray
hairs he might carry the wordv disagree-
ment to a more serious conclusion.
The F*peakerf his sjmrse gray hair
bristling with rage, asserted with a
vicious blow of the gavel on the desk,
that no member need let his gray hair
be a bar to anything they had to offer.
The House stood up and cheered.
in tin- Senate, a filibuster, conducted by
Senator Owen of Oklahoma threatened
the final approval of four of the great
appropriation measures up to within half
an hour of adjournment. Senators of
both parties appealed in vain to Senator
dwen to stop talking and let the supply
bills go through. The Senator said he
had set out to talk to death the resolution
approving the Constitution of New Mex-
ico and conferring upon that Territory
the last rites of Statehood.
So it was that when President Taft ar-
rived at 10:30 o'clock to sign the last of
the bills rushed through In the closing
hours, he found Statehold holding the
Senate to a standstill, and the tariff
board bill absolutely blockading ths prog-
ress of the House.
The President was appealed to by the
Senate leaders to use whatever Influence
he might have with Mr. Owen. The Sen-
ator declined to see the President. He
said Arizona must come in Jointly with
New Mexico and have her "referendum
and recall" Constitution approved at the
same time or the appropriation bills
would fall.
Doth filibusters accomplished their 1m- i
mediate purpose. The Senate did not ap- I
prove tho Constitution of New Mexico
and the House did not pass the tariff
board bill.
CLOCK TURNED BACK.
When the filibusters had been brought
to a close the time remaining was too
short and the time-honored custom of
turning back the clock was resorted to.
Thrice in the House the hands of the two
clocks were set back, each time fifteen
minutes. The Senate resorted to this
parliamentary device but once, the hands
being pushed back a full half hour. The
Senate adjourned at 12:20, the House at
12:3T.
All the big appropriation bills finally
managed to squeeze through In time for
approval by the President. 1 he work of
whipping these measures into final shape
and engrossing them upon parchment
as the permanent laws of the land taxed
to their utmost the wonderful systems at
the Capitol and at the Government print-
ing office. Eight of the bills, carrying
more than $700,000.00) were rushed through
in the last forty-eight hours of the ses-
sion.
When the excitement and uncertsinty
as to the fate of ths appropriation bill
had died away and the Vice President's
gavel had fallen in adjournment of the
Senate, the news flew through the corrl
dors Senator Bailey of Texas had r«*-
plgned. It was said he was "miffed" over
the action of his Democratic colleagues
in not following his leadership in the
past few days. The rumor was discred-
ited at first, but **s confirmed by the
Senator himself Tie sensation in the
Senste wing soon spread to the House,
and for a time the vicissitudes of the old
seeMon and the speculation as to the new
were lost sight of entirely in the discus-
sion of this new development. The tumult
of the dosing hours of the eeeslon, fol-
lowing all nicfet sittings ^th la the 0en-
ate and House, died away as the last of
the appropriation bills had been disposed
of, and in both branches there were the
usual scenes of nonpartisan felicitations.
Galleries crowded to the doors watched
the quick transition from snarls and
heated words to smiles and handshakes
and expressions of good will.
DEMOCRATS TAIvE CHARGE.
The end of the Rlxty-first Congress held
a far deeper significance than the surface
scenes of wrangling and wild disorder. In
the House it meant the turning over of
(ci.trol to the Democrats after sixteen
years of Republican supremacy. It meant
the stepplug down of 1'ncle Joe Cannon
fr< m his position of power at the Speak
er'a desk to a more humble place in the
ranks of the minority. It meant the re-
tirement to private life of a small army
of Republican members who, throughout
the session, had borne the taunts of the
Dcrrocrats and the sobriquet uf "lame
ducks."
Some hopped out with mournful mien,
while others, loyal to the Administration,
Jauntily hurried away to comfortable
berths In tho public service.
There will lie new rules In tho House
of the Sixty-second Congress and new men
In charge of the committees. The work
of framing supply hills and of initiating
legislation affecting the revenues and th-?
general conduct of the Government will ho
switched from the left hand section of the
chamber to that on the Speaker's right.
The Democratic phalanx will encroach
heavily upon the Republican side of the
chamber. For many years the House lias
been in the hands of a small coterie of
lie publican leaders men like Payne of
New York, Dalsell of Pennsylvania and
Sneaker Cannon, who have dominated the
chamber. All that remain in the Demo
cratlc House and their course as members
of the minority will be followed keenly
It was the Democratic vote that passed
the McCall bill embodying the reciprocity
agreement with CannfTa through that bod v.
Mr Taft feels confident such a bill will
be put through again.
While the terms of only thirty Senators
expired today and many of these have
been returned the revolution in the upper
branch of the National Legislature as to
leadership 1s almost as violent as In the
House. Aldrlch of Rhode Island, who
for years was recognized as holding
practically supreme direction of the af-
fair* of the Senate; Hale of Maine, Rur-
rows of Michigan, Depew of New York,
< arter of Montana, Kean of New Jersev
an<^ West Virginia, all commis-
sioned officers of the old guard of Re-
publicans and all stalwart to the core
closed their desks ami walked out of the
A FAT WOMAN
HATES SOCIETY
Fat people have to get Into clothes that
are designed for people of normal phy
slque. The men wear dress suits and look
like comic pictures. The women wear low
necked dresses to their evident humilla
tlon. This is why it fs often said that
a fat woman hates society. Fat is as mu<m
the mistake of poor health as anything
else The things thst make fat should be
making good blood, bone and nerves. The
secret Is that the digestive mschinery Is
out of gesr. The Juices make fat In too
large quantities. This fst Impedes circu-
lation, cramps the heart, suppresses the
liver, crowds the lungs snd interferes with
the stomsch. Marmots Tablets are harm-
less. They sre taken after each meal.
They help digest that meal as nature in-
tended it should be digested. They re-
move the fat already made at the rate of
from 12 to IS ounces a day and thev leave
no flabby skin or wrinkles. They are sold
wherever drugs are sold, or in the same
category with harmful patent fat reducers.
They contain Marmola. Cascara Aromatic
snd Peppermint water. If you do not care
to call upon your drugslst, send 75 cents

Senate today after serving long terms In
that deliberative body. S#iator Aid-
rich's departure was figurative.. He has
long been In the South becausA of fail-
ing health.
President Taft, In his proclamation
convening Congress, April 4, mentions,
as a reason therefor, only Canadian reci-
procity. There were many persons who
held to the hope to the very last tho
McCall bill might be rushed through
the Senate and an extra session
avoided.
Ah a matter of fact, however, the ex-
tra session proclamation has been drawn
up for several days, only the date for the
session being left vacant. Following the
adjournment of Congress the President
held a series of conferences with House
and Senate leaders of both parties as to
the date that would best suit all.
Many of the Senators and Representa-
tives were desirous of going homo for a
brief rest before taking up the tasks of
the new session, while others argued it
would bo the better part uf wisdom for
the President to consult primarily the
wishes of the Democrats and to defer to
their debtee for time in which to out-
line their organization in the new House.
The President himself Is anxious for a
little rest.

CENTER, Tex., March 4.-»SIjc persons
were killed and five Injured here this
morning about 2 o'clock by the falling
of a burning building:
The dead:
MRS. C. C. LOCKE.
WILL BOOTH.
JOHN MULL.
CLJFTON GOODflON.
JACK DAVIS.
J. L. Crawford was so seriously In-
jured that he died about 11 o'clock fhls
morning.
The following were seriously hurt:
W. Q. Carnahan, a scalp wound on
head.
Ben Hearrce, a broken leg.
Marlon Davis, broken foot and sprain-
ed back.

iously bruised but no broken bones.
The fire was discovered about 1 o'clock
In a two-story brick occupied by W. E.
Fltre. C. C. Locke occupied the building
Immediately east of the Fltze building.
While men were engaged in removing
the stock of goods from the lyicke build-
ing, tho second story of tlie Fltze build-
ing fell on the roof of the Ix>cke build-
ing, crushing it and burying all the vic-
tims exeept Carnahan under the debris.
For some time the heat and smoke were
so Intense that no assistance could be
rendered those Injured by the fall and It
looked as If they would be slowly burned
to death.
During this time their cries for help
could be heard by their friends and rela-
tives. After twenty minutes the flames
were checked sufficiently to permit a
party of rescuers to enter the burned
building. It took about two hours to re-
move the injured and dead from the
ruins.
Mrs. C. C. Locke's body will be taken
to Mariln for Interment. The bodies of
Ooodson and Mull will be carried to
their homes in the country. The others
