Keep the system in good , . order, take plenty of exercise in the fresh air and practice cleanliness Remember a clean mouth, a clean skin and clean bowels are a protect ing armor against disease. To keep the liver and bowels regular and to carry away the poisons within, it is best tc take a vegetable pill every j other day. made up of May-apple, aloes, jalap, and sugar-coated, to be had at most drug stores, known as Dr. Pierce's Pieasant Pellets. If there in a sudden onset of what ap pears like a hard cold, one should go to bed, wrap warm, take a hot mustard foot-bath and drink copi ously of hot lemonade. If pain devel ops In head or back, ask the drug- Btat for Anuric (anti-uric) tablets. These will flush the bladder and lddneys and carry' off poisonous germs. To control the pains and aches take one Anuric tablet every two hours, with frequent drinks of lemonade. Tho pneumonia appears In a most treacherous way, when the Influenza victim la apparently recovering and anxious to leave his bed. In recovering from a bad at tack of lnfluensa or pneumonia the system should be built up with a good herbal tonic, such as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery, made without alcohol from the roots and barks of American forest trees, or his Irontic (Iron tonic) tablets, which can be obtained at most drug stores, or send 10c to Dr. Plorce's Invalids' Hotel, Buffalo, N.

BEURY REPUBLICANS ARE IN ANGRY MOOD [Continued from First Pago.] reconstruction." While no specific "unseramblin" measures were in.- "that the Congress shali assert its dorsed it was understood that in dividual members of the conference will offer a series of bills at an early date to abolish the war powers of the administration. Abuse Wur Powers After the conference had ad j urnc-d Senator Sherman, of Illi nois, gave out an interview in whicji he characterized the taking over of the marine cable five days after the j virtual er ( > of the war as "an arro-j Kant abuse of war powers." The I Soiu t declared that the public' shoulu immediately associate the seizure of tho cables with the de clared purpose of the President to attend the peace conference with a retinue of pubhci.. agents. "The President is going abroad," said , Senator Sherman "and I see he is going to take Creel with him. With the newly acquired power; Creel will pinch' the cables and I hold them. The President will have j 3000 miles of salt water between] him and the United States. And | the cables will be under exclusive! control of the government and the I transmission of information about the peace discussions will be entirely in the hands of the President and Creel. "There is only one autocrat left and he heads the world's oldest and greatest republic. Tho press will be tied, bound, gagged and hobbled by this seizure of the cables. "From a domestic point of view the seizure of the cables is in line with the administration's Socialistic policy of taking everything it can lay its hands on. It is, an arrogant abuse of the war powers conferred upon the administration by Congress for use only during the present emergency.' Publicity For Wilson Senator Watson, of Indiana, voiced vigorous protest in the conference against the taking over of the cables. He expects to make a speech elab orating his views in the Senate on. Thursday. He said that he would point out to the Senate that the chief purpose of the seizure of the cables after the cessation of hostil ities is to give Creel control of all the publicity in connection with the President's visit abruad. It has been announced that Creel and a number of employes of the Bureau of Public Information will accom pany the President to take charge of the publicity. No arrangements have been made for the accommo dation of regular newspapermen, al though no obstacles will be placed in their way, it is .ted. Having made a favorable report on the amendment to the Weeks reconstruction resolution whereby the appointment of six committees is prov'ded for instead of one, the Republican plans for demobilizing the forces of the country from a war basts to the new conditions of peace appeared to be entirely harmonious. The six committee plan was pro posed by Senator Cummins of lowa, of the so-called progressive wing, of Lhe party, and indicates that the Senators are working together on the plans for handling reconstruc tion work. THe joint committees will deal with the demobilization of the army and navy; foreign trade and commerce; interstate transpor tation, domestic business; em ployers and employes' national re sources.' Penrose to Head Finance Although there has been some talk on the of |/estern Sena tors of opposition to Senator Pen rose of Pennsylvania as chairman of the Senate Finance Committee, at the conference there was no indi cation that any such movement would develop. It was conceded by the rank and file that Senator Penrose is the man for the job, be cause of his lon# experience on the committee and because he iu adj mitted to be an authority on the subject of taxation. Any opposition on the part of western senators is likely to meet with an untimely end, for the senti ment of the party is strongly in favor of rewarding tho Republican leaders who. have established records in the Senate and the seniority rule on the committees will continue to stand.
