Before congressmen could dismiss this disgraceful matter from their minds, Congressman Madden, an Illinois liej .blicar., injected partisan political matter into the proceedings, presenting a letter from ; member m the Deiiioeritir committee to another Democrat, asking for a contribution to assist in the campaign.

"I feel like getting right out there in the street and out-running any other man in town," suid J. B. Woodward, of 2G5 Rand Ave., Lexington, Ky., while telling of the remarkable benefit he derived from the use of Tanlac. "For many years," he continued, "I had sulTered terribly Trom stomach trouble, rheumatism and neuralgia. The rheumatism was so bad for two years I could not raise my hand i and to my head. Nothing I ate j agreed with me and 1 was almost if raid to try to eat anything. One hing after another Kept me miser,b!e until ] did not know what to do or myself. You know that a man an suffer until he loses hope of getinu well, ami that was almost the late i was in. "Everybody had been praising Tanac so highly and so rr.ainy people knew had been helped by it that :ere a while hack I tried it myself, n two or three weeks after I start d taking it I began to feel like a ! ill'erent man. 1 kept on using it .nd my troubles are all gone. My aomach does not bother me a bit. can eat heartily iind digest my food, and can use my arms as well as ! could before 1 began to sulTer. My amily and friends all see the change I'anlac has made in me and I ceraitily am glad to recommend it." Tanlac, the Master Medicine, is sold j by The Chesterfield Drug Co., Chesterfield, S. C.; T.

Adv >f any kind at less than $45 a month. She is now living i;i a little back bedroom off a kitchen, for which she pays $45 a month. Most of these war workers come from very good homes all over the country. They have a desire to perform a real service. Most of them are making a sac rifice, and yet they are asked to live in Washington under conditions that almost equal the conditions in the trenches in Europe. This situation ought not to exist, and these conditions ought, not to be permitted to exist. My attention this morning was called to another case, the case of three houses not very far from the Capitol, in which there are housed 100 war workers, and these three little houses yield a monthly rent of more than $2,000. Before the war the thseu houses eould be rented for v22.r>. These are just illustrations, and yet they are more or less typical of conditions that exist all over the District." It is a singular fact that Mr. Lever ontinued to yield to other congressmen until he had only four minutes left of the time that had been granted him to discuss his agricultural >i 11. He yielded that four minutes to Mr. Bankhead, of Alabama, who presented the Declaration of Independence of the C/.echo-Slovak nation. And now, like Mr. Lever, all of iur time and space is used up and we ire un..ble to publish more of the proceedings of what was a busy and . nteresting day in Washington.

The troops had been hammering it the noche all day and all night md many of them had been put out if action during the terrific fighting, * ' j nit although suffering from wounds * ,;j nnde by shrapnel, rifle bullets and >and grenades, moat of the injured ? non were consck as and many of hem able to got about with the aid >f improvised crutches. The surgeons rerc busy In tho dressing stations * ind tho waiting soldiers wanted noth- . ng so much as a good drink of ' ometliing cold und refreshing. t Then it wan that the Salvation Ar- ^ ny workers came along with several inrrels filled with sure enough lemmade. Where they got the lemons x the sugar nobody knows, but the ' ' olrilers asked no questiona as they love for the tin cups that were piled ilongsido the barrels on a huge truck. . The surgeons said afterward that lie lemonade served to keep down he temperature of many a lad whose zounds could not be dressed until ho most serious cases had been at- * ended to. And what that cupful of oo<! old Yankee drink meant to bosc boys who had Just come out of he infVrno of Chateau-Thierry, will : iever be told. , 4 It is Just that kind of service that ? making the Salvation Army organlntion with the military forces of the llios one of the nvist potent factors ri welfare work.
