Tlie opening day was characterized t>y the usual enthusiasm, greeting of ^ friends on the floors of the Mouse and Senate, congratulations for those who v'ere re-el oo'?d and a good word <*01 those who foil b\ the wayside. Musi\ ness was resumed where it was dropped on the adjournment in October. In the opinion of th.e leaders of both parties this session will bo devoted largely to the passage of the appro nrintion nwisi^-oc "n<i ?" . . . ? V,. , %v*?. 1 >? I 1 I l\V V | ? '?mb H^'""'s worHny full time in order to dispose of them by the time Congress automatically ends March 4th. Democratic leaders are not inclined to give any sanction to talk of an extra session, saying that all matters deman ling attention will bp considered within the next three months, hut Republican leaders and some of the Democrats have matters they intend to press and i? may be, owing to the short time at their disposal, that an extra session will be necessary. The Philipine bill, looking to the ultimate independence of the islands, and the immigration bill, including the literacy test, both of which have bee" passed by the H uiso. will be pressed by their friends but they may not ho reached. Conservation/ measures, in-1 eluding the go^oyal wter novoy pp,l land leasing hills will probablv receive some attention. Representative Leycr is again calling attention to his cotton warehouse bill, saving that the President is in favor cf ?t and is very hopeful that it will pass. Representative Gardner of Massachusetts submitted a resolution calling for an investigation of our pre- j paredness for war. This resolution.' supported bv others in i>oth Houses,! is causing lively discussion. Administration leaders are opposing it on the ground that it is wholly unnecessary as all data and facts are now fully known to the Committee on military affairs and an investigation at this time could reveal no new facts, President Wilson in his interview with Representative Gardner expressed the opinion that it would he very unwise to handle at this time "a question which might create very unfavor able international impressions." It is the evident intention of the Government to cut expenses and economize, as is shown by the estimate Secretary McAdoo submitted to Congress for the running expenses for the year 191G. This estimate cuts off about $17,000,000 from the one of a year ago and the various departmental heads will have to keep their ex- ] penditures at the lowest possible minimum. The River and Harbor bill which was curtailed at the last session will be brought up and some of its friends are hopeful of securing larger appropriations, but it is likely they will be disappointed as the estimate only makes provisions for the continuance of exinsting projects. The onlv denartment? ropoivimr . ? "''"I propriations are the Army and Navy, i The champions of increased Naval appropriations are urging a three or four battleship program, more sub- j marines and torpedo boats. The weak-, ness of our aviation corps is causing many to demand that a substantial increase be made, asking that aeroplanes, hydroplanes and dirigibles be I purchased. It is more than probable 1 this will be another billion dollar Congress in spite of all efforts to econo-' mnize. The necessity for increased approipriations was seldom greater than "now despite the fact that the Administration is anxious to lessen the ex-| penditures the necessities must be cared for. j The President's message was delivered in person to a joint session of the House and Senates in the Hall of the House of Representatives on Tuesday. The President therein outlined to Congress the legislation he considered essential at this time and pointed out the need for careful action. Early indications are that the stand patters are planning tQw age a relentless war fare against the President Snd the Democratic Party. Senator Simmons charges that some of thi : manufactures of the country are not' taking proper advantage of the foreign trade opportunities at this time but are holding back in the hope that the return of some of the standpatters like Cannon and MgKinley to pow ?r, foreshadow another wall for their .protection.

The demand, during the five davs that had passed when business was closed at that office late SatuHay for the emergency tax Stamps had caused accumulation of many orders. The officials and attaches of the office were unable to make the sales of stamps Lo persons appearing in person to fill the "rush" mail orders for the stickers of numerous denominations, and to give attention to the hundreds of inquiries relative to construction of the law that were received. Collector Hey ward made it lain ta newspaper men that his office was making every possible effort to meet j the demands of the occasion. He j stated that during the first two days 1 of full effectiveness of the lay his t office attaches had worked about 18 hours per day, and had each day work od long past the usual ' suspending hour. The collect :r related his office had received on one day in excels of 1,000 letters containing inquiries of an imperative nature relative to provisions of the statute. Answering these letters would have alone required extra work of his office force, regardless of the demand for stamps, which in itsself, required the full service of his assistants to meet.

Sutherlln, Pittsylvania Co., Va., writes: "For the past twelve months I have been a sufferer from catarrh of the head. Since taking four bottles of your Peruna I feel like a different person altogether. The severe pains in my head have disappeared, and my entire system has been greatly strengthened. "This is my first testimonial to the curative qualities of any patent medicine. I feel it a duty to mankind to let them know of Peruna. In my estimation it is the greatest medicine on earth for catarrh." We have thousands of testimonials like Mr. Chaney's.
