nhsciiatia Throat
Is Ccmmdn Trouble
Should Be Treated in Blood
To Prevent Recurrence.
There are successful gargles that stop
Mfeness ia the throat, but to prevent their
incessant return, the blood must be put in
rder. The best remedy is S. S. S., as it
influences all the functions of the body to
neutralize " the irritants or waste products
and to stimulate their excretion through,
proper channels.
Rheumatic sore throat Is a dangerous
indication, as-it means that the blood Is
loaded with more uric acid than the kid
fltfS can excrete, and may thua lead to
serious general disturbance.
The action of S. S. S. stimulates cellular
activity. It prevents the accumulation of
irritants in local spots. It enables the
arteries to supply quickly the new red
bjood to replace worn-out tissue.
" Por this reason uric acid that finds the
throat an easy prey to its breaking-down
influence, is scattered and eliminated. In
ether words, S. S. S. prevents cnronic con
ditions by enabling all the mucous linings
at the body to secrete heaithy mucus. - Its
influence is shown in a marked Improve
ment of the bronchial tubes, whereby the
btwkiness 0f voice with thick, grayish ex
pectorations is overcome. S. S. S., well
diluted with water, means a blood bath,
since it is welcome to any stomach and at
pnee gets into the blood.
S, S. S. is free of all minerals and con
tain's ingredients wonderfully conducive to
rell-balanced health.
You can get it at any drug store, but do
net accept anything else. There is danger
hj substitutes. S. S. S. is prepared only by

THE SIXTY-THIRD CONGRESS
u r .
BRIEF SUMMARY OF WORK OP
SESSIONSAT 837 DAYS
INvTWO YEARS.
The sixty-third Congress passed
Thursday.
When gavels fell in the house ana
senate signalizing the adjournments,
they marked tne dose oi nan ui
President Wilson's administration,
the first under domination of the
Democratic party since the year
1895.
Strenuous scenes enlivened the
fading hours, devoted chiefly to com
pleting the applications for subsist
ence of the government. Two im
portant measures, the postoffice and
Indian supply bills, failed in the
iinal legislative crush after desper
ate efforts had been made to save
: them. In the emergency occasioned
I by their failure, joint resolutions
i were passed and signed by the presi-
t
I dent, continuing in force, appropri-
ations of the present year.
While tired Senators and Repre
sentatives were devoting their ener
gies to final essentials, President
Wilson spent more than an hour in
his room at the capitol, surrounded
by, his Cabinet, signing the last
fruits of legislation. The president
found time in the midst of this task,
to greet senators and representa
tives, and he made the occasion en
tirely one of congratulation, making
no reference to projects which had
failed.
Important measures which died
with the end of Congress along with
the ship purchase bill, were the
Philippine enlarged self-government
bill, rural credits legislation, the bill
to prohibit interstate commerce in
goods manufactured by child labor, !
and the conservation bills. A resolu
tion which contemplated an investi
gation into senatorial campaigns in
Pennsylvania, Illinois, and other
states, which had been recommended
by a senate' committee, also failed.
While much was proposed, very
little general legislation was carried
in the appropriation bills, most of
the measures practically being clear- i
ed of such provisions by points of
order. The postoffice bill, which
failed to pass, contained more new
legislation than any other.
Before adjournment Congress
provided for several important in
vestigations to be carried on during
recess. A committee will continue
the inquiry into alleged lobbying in
connection with the ship purchase
bill, a commission will study rural
credits legislation, and Democrats of
the senate appointed a special com
mittee to recommend revision of
senate rules with a view of estab
lishing cloture of debate to prevent
filibusters.
A mass of miscellaneous legisla
tion hurried through in the last days
included claims, public buildings,
fish cultural station and bridge bills
and minor amendments to various
federal statutes. Most of these were
put through on the initiative of the
individual members and passed
without objection.
The annual appropriation bills
which failed caused considerable
trouble. After the Indian bill had
made its devious way through the
senate opposition it reached the
house just ten minutes before final
adjournment. A filibuster immedi
ately was initiated by the Republi
cans and it forced the withdrawal of
the conference report on the bill.
Several members of the senate,
long prominent national figures,
among them Senators Root and Bur
ton, stepped back into private life
as the curtain fell. A farewell letter
from Senator Thornton, who had
been too ill for several days to be
present in the senate, was present
ed by Senator Kern. Some of the
retiring senators made, farewell ad
dresses. In the house the last hour was
devoted to tributes to Speaker
Clark, Representative Underwood
ai4 Republican Leader Mann. Rep
resentative Palmer announced the
presentation of a portrait of Mr.
Underwood to be hung in the hall of
the ways and means committee.
637 Days of Sitting.
The sixty-third Congress had been
in almost continuous session since
President Wilson's inauguration two
years ago. Beginning with an extra
session called by the president April
7, 1913, the Congress has worked
actually 63 7 days.
Much important legislation was
accomplished, but much contem
plated, some of it hard pressed by
the president and party leaders Tas
left undone. It is the present inten
tion of the president and his advis
ers to give Congress a rest. Rather
than force an extra session, they
would leave the remainder of the ad
ministration's constructive aspira
tions to a new Congress next winter,
which, although under Democratic
control, will have a greatly reduced
majority in the house.
Great Constructive Record.
Foremost in the enactments of the
sixty-third Congress were:
acTwUh the income tax. wwch Te-
j placed the payne-Aiancn lanix w
The federal reserve act, reorgan
izing the currency system.
Anti-trust laws to supplement -the
Sherman act, including the Clayton
j iaw and federal trade commission
t tri fnrmer providing for nunish-
-.1 - . ....
: ment of individuals wno violate dus-
. iness regulations and the latter es
tablishing a government institution
to aid in keeping business within
the law.
Repeal of the Panama canal tolls
exemption for American coast-wise
shipping.
Act directing the building at a
cost of $35,000,000 of a government
railroad to the mineral fields
Alaska.
of
Act to regulate cotton exchanges :
and
to penalize aeaiiugs in
mm 1 3
speculative cotton future sales.
A special internal revenue tax,

commonly canea me wcti tax. ;
A government war risk insurance
bureau to insure American ships j
against the hazards of war, and an i
act providing for the transfer of
foreign-owned or built ships to
American registry.
Of these measures which failed of
enactment or could not be consider
ed for lack of time, the following
are regarded by Democratic leaders
as paramount:
Bill for government purchase or
charter of transoceanic ships for the
establishment of an American mer
chant marine which encountered the
most stubborn filibuster in the his
tory of the senate, created an insur
gent movement in the Democratic
ranks and held up general legisla
tion for weeks of the last session.
The immigration bill, including a
literacy test for admission of aliens,
which
passed both houses, was
vetoed by President Wilson and fail
ed by a margin to repass the house
on a motion to overturn the veto.
Conservation measures urged by
the nresident to Drovide a new sys-
tern for leasing of water power sites i Coble's Croup and Pneumonia
and a leasing system to open the Remedy should be in every home. It
mineral resources of the country. is the new liquid treatment for chil
Bill to enlarge the measure of ( dren and adults for croup, pneumo-
Philippine self-government and to ex- ;
tend promise of ultimate independ- j
ence to Filipino people, a measure .
which passed the house and was ap-j
proved by a senate committee.
Regulation by the interstate com- i
merce commission of the issue of
railroad securities, originally a part
I of the administration's anti-trust
. program. j
I Rural credits legislation contem
! plating the establishment of a sys- j
tem of farm mortgage loan, banks,
persistently urged throughout the
Congress.
In addition to the foregoing,
scores of eeneral legislative bills
i covering a wide range of subjects
died with the end of the Congress,
among them, measures for federal
road improvement, general water
way development, reorganization of
the civil service, to prohibit-impor-tation
of convict-made goods, and
several measures for reorganization
of the army.
The last session of the Congress
was notable, too, for the failure of
two great issues national prohibition
and woman suffrage. Proposed con
stitutional amendments precipitated
two of the most exciting legislative
battles in the history of the house
of representatives, both measures
failing to receive a necessary two
thirds vcte. j
Foreign Relations to Fore. !
Foreign relations of the nation '
were constantly to the fore almost
from the beginning of the Congress.
The Mexican situation required close ;
attention from the outset as has the j
European war. Throughout the ses-
sion, the president and the senate 1
foreign relations commit tee were in !
frequent conferences, and much was
done to restrain unusual demonstra
tions which might have disturbed in
ternational tranquility. Early in the
session, general arbitration treaties
with several great foreign powers
were renewed for five-year periods,
and twenty-six peace commission
treaties providing for investigation
of international disputes before re
sort to arms were negotiated and
ratified. A treaty to enforce the reg
ulations adopted by the London Saf-ety-at-Sea
Conference was ratified
last December, but with an amend
ment making reservations which
came too late for other powers to
consider, thus preventing enforce
ment of the convention. A treaty
with Nicaragua providing for ac
quirement of the Nicaraguan canal
route and naval stations for $3,000,
000 was left unratified by the sen
ate and the pending treaty with Co
lombia, directing payment of $25,
000,000 for the Panama canal strip
was held in by the foreign relations
committee.
The closing session of the Con
gress was almost wholly devoted to
appropriation bills, the ship pur
chase bill fight, and a few .general
measures. Aside from appropria
tions, about the only important legis
lative enactments included the crea
tion of the coast guard by consolida
tion of the life-saving and revenue

investigation of the preparedness of
the nation for war all failed. House
naval and military committees, how
ever, conducted public hearings on
the subject in connection with the
military supply bills.
Some Party Differences.
The Congress also was marked by
differences between President Wil-
; son ana some Democratic senators
'over patronage; a spirited ""contest
over confirmation Of nominees of !
, the federal reserve board; two sue
cessful filibusters one in the sum
mer session against the rivers and
narbors appropriation bill, and the

and Democratic allies against the

'bate; institution of a special in

j against the ship purchase bill; a
general lobby investigation which
, extended for many months, and pro
posal of an inquiry into senatorial
campaign contributions.
With the fall of the gavel, many
senators and congressmen, long na
tional figures, passed into private
)ife. Senators who retire are Root,
of New York; Burton, Ohio; Per
j kins, California; Thornton, Louisi
ana; Bristow, Kansas; Stephenson,
