They emphasise the Import ance of rest in the treatment of tuber culoaia, but also insist that properly regulated exercise is very necessary. They state their Conclusions thus: "Exercise when properly .regulated and systematically graded is an im portant factor in the treatment of Pulmonary tuberculosis. Through It the patient is in many caseei^turned t*> home and family, with lessened chances of future relapse. At toe same time part of-bis earning capa-* city is restored and he Is consequent ly financially leas dependent upon otherf, relieving; him of much worry expense and hardahlp." Dr. Pratt, who was founder of the first Tuberculosis Class la the Unlt-< ed States in the Emmanual Church to Boston, claims that In the treat* ment of tuberculosis absolute rest, often In bed. must be extended over a period of months, before the con sumptive ahould tike any exercise. He says, "Prolonged rest In bed o\it 6f doors yields better results than any other method of treating pulmo nary tuberculosis.

Tbe disclosure was made 7 when Chairman Hamlin asked him If be bad made any further attempt since bis examination a few days ago to discover bow tbe missing voucher came to be on tbe floor of his of fice The serious view taken of the mat ter by state department officials was reflected in a' copy of a letter from Okas. Denby, Consul General at Vien na, Austria, former chief clerk of the state department under Secretary Root when the first investigation Into the mystery of {he 9 1,480 voucher for IS50 portrait was made. Secretary Kncx submitted thla letter, dated Vienna. May SO. 1011, and a cable gram previously received.

Careful preliminary investigation fall ed to convince department that clrm inal carges could be sustained." Reporting by mall Mr. Denby ex plained that the voucher discrepancy was discovered In 1906 when the de partment negotiated for a portrait of Secretary Hay and that prior tc the Root regime it was customary to Include In one voucher smaller sums paid for a number of expenses out of the appropriation allotted to the department to be expended at the ! secretary's discretion. As to tbe result of the luvestlga- 1 tlon conducted by the department In | 1 1904, which Mr. Denby says wits nev er known outside of the department,! the former chief clerk teproted: "How far |he alleged lrergularlty jln the use of the partlculfir-fund In question were within the knowledge of Secretary Hay could not be ascer tained, as he died In 1905, In which Syear also Mr. Michael went as consul to Calcutta.. Such practices were not Continued under Secretary Root, but reports were brought to my. knowl edge while chief clerk that the prac tice had existed. "In view of the entire lack of re liable proof of misappropriation of funds, the inevitable unpleasant crit icism of the administration of an honeet man, which would result In public action, the incident was passed over, and no official action was tak en." Mr. Morrison explained to the com mittee further that on the day he paid the 9t,4?0 In cash to former Chief Clerk Michael, on June 18, 1904, he had ordered his cletk to Insert tbe words "two hundred and fifty gpllahs" In the printed voucher, and that half an hour afterward he had paid the money to Michael he Inquired what the payment was for, ?and was tokl la Michael's office that I It was for Day's portrait, f Notations on the back,' which ap peared later, referring to emergency payments of diplomatic bustnees, Mr. Morrison declared were met on the voucher that day. / _ W*H Norwood L.

Jlepreaentatlve Underwood, chaif-| manof the ways and means commit tee in charge of the bill, kept his forces well together in their oppo sition to all amendments. While tome democrats proposed amend ments with one exceptfoh, they voted with the psrty when the bill came to its passage. Representative Gray, of Indiana, offered an amendment to place raw wool on the free list, Insteid of 20 per cent ad valorem as the bill pro vides. and to recommit the bill to the oommittee with instruction that manufactures would be reduoed to 20 per cent ad valorem. This was lost. Representative Murdock, one of the insurgent republicans, who Anal ly voted for the bill, proposed sever al amendments placing certain grad es of wool on the free list His pur pose In these amendments, he said, was to give the American people pro tection from the worsted trust by making free "thoee articles which enter Into the manufacture of trust controlled woolen products.* Mr. Murdoc)^ appealed te Repre- j sentatlve Harrison of New York, democratic member of the ways and means committee, and to others of the party who had favored placing wool on the free list, to support him.

Why has the government been unable to con trol the tr While thj^^^stlon haa not as yet been deflnitBNfftnswered. the house Investigating committees are bring ing out testlmonfe which tends to throw light on the subject at least to the end of showing that the great trusts of the country have at some time or another had most of the government prosecutors on their pay -rolls. United 8tates Attorney General Wickersham heads the list. Under oath he admitted that the last thing he did before * taking charge of the prosecuting machinery of the nation was to draw down his share of a $26, 000 fee from the sugar trust as a meifi?#r of the New York law firm of Strong and Cadwallader. Henry P. Taft a brother of the president, is still' a member of this firm whose speciality is to show the sugar trust and other great*. Indus trial corporations"hotr to evade the law and escape prosecution. That Frank B. Kellogg, special counsel to the United 8tates and widely advertised by the republicans as the great trust buster, has receiv-j Injm^the^ government at the same time fhfct he1 was receiving big fees for acting as attorney for subsidiary concerns of the str>el trust, was deroloped in tes timony before the Stanley commu te?. ? It ar pears that Mr. Kellogg, besid es pocketing the $30,000 recently pale him by the government for serv ing a8 "trust buster" under Roose velt, also received from the stee! trust $15,000 as extra compensation for legal services rendered their cor porations. On Oct. 29, 1907, Mr. Kellogg was proven by his own testimony and doc umentary evidence is possesion of the committee to have received a second $15,000, for extra services. Thesd, sums were received by him In addlt^m to the regular salary re ceived by his firm from the trusts for many years past, and the last payment was made In the midst of the panic and only two or three days before the famous confer^jxce of Gray and H. C. Frlck (ruling spirits of steel trust, with President Roosevelt, whereby they gained the permission of tho ''president to commit criminal violation of the laws of the United States by absorbing the Tennetse Coal, Iron & Rallway??ompanv, there by exterminating their principal com petitor. This situation becomes still more remarkable when It is recalled that the man who appointed Kellogg ? Philander C. Knox, now secretary of state ? waa the man who went from the employ of the steel trust to the office of the attorney general and who refused In 1901 to prosecute the ?teel trust when convincing evidence of Ita violations of law were laid be fore him by the anti-trust league. Bribstow Leads Reactionaries Senator Brlatow of Kansas, assist ed by the aolld delegation of 'special privilege senators, succeeded In tack ing an amendment to the resolution providing (or the direct election of senator*, which greatly endangers and may defeat that measure. h Bristow pretended the amendment, which retains federal control over the elections would strengthen the probability of tte final passage, when the fact Is Bristow knew, as did ev ery other senator In the chamber, that the amendment would the resolution b y ths nximry three fourths of ths iutM The Brlstow amendment la the name used by Sutherland of Utah and the ring of Wall street bucca neera In the senate In the last aeaalon to Ulia direct Mutorlal .1?cUom The men who worked hardest for the Brlatow amendment were LorJ mer of Illinois, Guggenheim of Col orado, Cummin*, of Iowa, Llppltt of Rhode Ialand, Clapp of Mlnneaota. Smoot of Utah and Stephenson of Wiaconaln. The Brlatow amendment wis fought by La Follette, Gronna, Borah Polndexter and Works, republicans, and every democrat In the aenate, save one. Lloyd a Hard Worker Victory In the house has brought hard work and reaponalblllty to the democratic leaders as well as htfn ora. As an' example of the exacting du ties of a congressman of democratic faith, take the caBe of Hon. James T. Lloyd ot the First Missouri dis trict. Mr. Lloyd la chairman of the democratic congressional committee and aa such assumes general super vlalon of the campaign In every dis trict In the United States. He la alao chairman c? the standing com mittee on acounts and cloaely scrutin izes every Item of expenditure In the lower house. r He is alao chairman of , the apecial committee on orsnnlzi tlon, or clerical force, a Job with a world of detail. In addition to all these and his onerous duties as a , congressman, Mr. Lloyd deliver* numerous addresses before socletlua, , schools, etc., and is always to be found In his seat when the house Is , called to order. Speaker Clark Against Gag Rule Speaker Champ Clark is opposed . to the gag being applied to govern- , ment employees. President Taft Is 1 endeavoring to enforce a Roosevelt i rule which prohibits government em- ] ployeoB from. giving information ev- ? en to members of congress. The ] employees are alao prohibited from ] calling attention of members to any , grievances. Speaker Clark denounc- | cb thla rule as un-American, and de- 1 dares that he will listen to grlev- * ancee to employees when they desire 1 to come to him and he defies any- 1 one to Interfere. 1 Bread Traat Ha* Kasy Bailing A 126,000, dOO bread trust which 1 will operate, to start with In 21 large ' cities, has been formed In New York 1 under the name df the General Bak ing Company. The alleged object of ' the new octopus is to "educate the ' public to a high standard of qual- \ ity of bread." Inquiry at the offlre 1 of Attorney General Wlckeraham elicited the Information that abso- 1 lutely nothing was known there of ' the formation of any "bread trust." ' The reply was not unusual, as the 1 Attorney General's office is the last 1 place in Washington to go for Infor- 1 matlon which might be construed to ' admit the existence of any trust. Taft Will Have Opposition If the Taft republicans are really under the Impression that the Pres ident will have no opposition for a rencmlantion, tliey are laboring un der a hallucination. Senator LaFollette of Wisconsin is in the field, and progressive repub lican leaders In practically every state in the union are working for La Follette delegates. "Taft and sure defeat, or La Fol lette with a chancfr-to win," Is the battle cry of the La Follette forces.
