WASHINGTON", April 3. The Senate
committee on Judiciary spent some
hours considering the various bills in
tended to relieve prohibition states
from Federal Interference In dealing
with liquor traffic within the borders
of Kin-h states, but no agreement was
rpached. It was determined, however,
to vote on the measures on Monday.
From th discussion today there ap
peared to be a chance for the reporting
of some measure dealing with a part
of the question, at least tha ". have been
agitated in a number rf Southern
State, which have been prevented b ;
Supreme Court ruling from exercising1
their pollre powers for the control of
intoxicants.
-VboHsh C. O. I. Business.
There is a substantial agreement
among" memhern of the committee that
aJl bills that attempt to define what
a.r the police powers of a state will be
laid aside as unconstitutional. Sena
tor Knox declared that the police pow
prs of a state are ftomethlng the Fed
eral Government has no authority to
add to or take from.
It is believed a majority of the
committee, however, will support a
measure which will require that pack-SR-e
containing liquors to be shipped
from one state or territory to another
must have marks to Indicate the con
tents, which will abolish the "collect
on delivery" feature connected with
interstate commerce and will provide
that the consignee must be definite.
Remove Chief Grrevaiice.
The purpose is to put an end to "col
lect on delivery" shipments of liquors
to fictitious parties and the delivery
of liquors by railroads or express com
panies to any person who will pay the
charges. This system has been one of
the causes of much complaint by the
states and it was asserted before the
committee that It has permitted the
transportation companies to act as the
agents of liquor dealers or to make
the companies actual dealers them
selves in intoxicants.
IVTERESTINO POINT IS RAISED

Stout Women Wear W. B. Reduso Corsets
to Secure the Correct Form
If there is any inclination toward undue stoutness
the W. B. Reduso corset is the one to wear. The
Reduso corset makes the clothes fit properly giv
ing the long tapering effect to the hips which fash
ion has decreed for the new gown. The require
ments of fashion are much more of a problem to
a woman inclined to embonpoint than to her sister
of slender physique, but the Reduso corset puts her
on the same level.
The Reduso is a hygienic corset, holding the abdo
men in and keeping the chest up, so that the func
tion of breathing is exercised naturally.
The surprising result of wearing Reduso corsets is
that all excess of flesh on the abdomen rapidly
disappears.
The waist line lessens several inches through wearing this corset. It works
with nature, not against it; consequently is perfectly comfortable and a help to
good health as well as a boon to the modiste. Another good point is that these
corsets are made of strong materials and give good service.

trious Immigrants.
SAVAN'XAH, Ga.. April 3. The feature
of the celebration of the 2Prh anniversary
rn the Savannah Board of Trade today
was a largely attended banquet tonipht,
at which Secretary Straus, of the Depart
ment of Commerce and Labor, was a
guest and speaker.
After a few words In praise of Georgia
and Its founders. Mr. Straus spoke of
the work of commerce among nations
as a promoter of peace, and continued:
Appreciating all thin as I do, and ap
preciating a'so that the Ideal condition for
all cations would be to save th millions
that tve are now pending on armies and
navies and u them In promoting the eco
nomic welfare of the masses, yet bo long
u other nations, though progressing toward
that ldal. are far from its realization, a
great country such as ours, with such a
trvmend.Tus seacoast and with grr-at Inter
national Interests, can best serve the cause
of peace and hasten the Ideal condition by
a Navy adequate In strength and efficiency
to give It the proper weight in the promo
tion of peace, in the council of nations.
Extend Power Over Kali roads.
He went on to speak of railroad ex
tension throughout the country, saying:
This has necessitated a wider Interpreta
tion of the commerce clauses of the Consti
tution than was required or foreseen by
those who carried on the Infant Industries
of the in original states. To restrict those
clauses to the conditions that existed when
the Constitution was adopted would dis
credit not only the wise statesmanship of
our day. but the spirit and prophetic vision
of the founders of our Republic, who boldly
led the way In expanding our National do
main, by reason of which we have grown
from a Nation of S,OOo.onft to a Nation of
fM.00O.OfO In the curse of four generations
Speaks for Ship Subsidy.
After giving a few figures showing the
Industrial development of the South, he
said a few words for ship subpidy. call
ing it "postal subsidy." He argued that
all great' commercial nations th subsi
dize steamship lines and that such sub
sumes, first granted in this country un
der I'rvsident Polk, were re-established
In t'l. He continued:
What is demanded now is that that postal
la,w be extended so that your commerce and
your passengers will not be compelled to
go to the markets on ttris continent by the
way of Europe, and by twice crossing the
Atlantic Ocean. There Is bill now be
fore Congress. the purpose of which Is to
extenl this subvention so as to make it
effective in reaching the markets on this
continent and along; the Pacific Ocean,
namely, to g!ve the same postal subvention
that Is fovi.led for under the law of Isot
and adapt It to ships that ply In those
waters
He aaid that the cost of mail service
to foreign countries, other than Canada
and Mexico, was about J3.O0O.00O a year
and the postal receipts therefrom were
a little over $6,000,000, and It was asked
that the J3.000.000 profit "be devoted to
extending the commerce of the country
In American bottoms under the Ameri
can flag."
Good Word for Immigrants.
He also pointed out the need of auxil
iary vessels for the Navy. He denied
that this was' a party question.
After a few words on the National
Council of Commerce which he has es
tablished, he said a good word for the
Immigrants, thus:
It la rather the vogue now to speak
against the immigrant and immigration,
forgetting what we are and what we owe
to the 25,000.000 workers that have come
to us in the past 100 years to develop the
great possibilities of this country and make
us the grea.t Nation that we are. All honor
to the descendants oX the Puritan and Pil
grim fathers, but In honoring them let us
not 'withhold our high appreciation and
meed of praise for the immigrants who
have come to us in the succeeding decades,
to them and to their children, who in peace
and In war have proved jio less true and
coble Americans than those who preceded
them in time, but did not surpass them in
the love of our common country. Tes, we
welcome the immigrant to our country, the
self -roe pee ting and honest-minded alien, no
matter from what country he comes, wrto is
willing to share with us not only the bless
ings but also the duties and responsibilities
of our great country ; but they, as well as
all df our people, must understand that in
this land of liberty, equality and justice
there is no room frr eoclalism, communism,
collectivism or any other form of "ism"
than Americanism, which rsts upon the
Ten Commandments, the Declaration of In
dependence and the Constitution of the
United States.

ties is to be chosen. The Regenerators

Progressists 59, the Republicans 86, the

issued orders insisting upon fair elec
tions, the two old 'rotative" parties are
in full control of the election machinery.
The Republicans claim that they will
sweep Lisbon, Oporto, Draga, Aveiro and
other cities, even under a restricted suf
frage, if there is an honest count of the
ballots. Disorders are anticipated if ef
forts toward repression are made. There
is still persistent talk of the existence

Hood's Sarsaparilla
Is Peculiar to Itself
IN MERIT AND IN CURES, WHY?
The ingredients actually used in successful medieioM an, im
general, weH-known.
Bat the exact proportions, and methods of eombiniDg them, are
important secrets discovered only by the wisdom of experienced
physicians and the fine discriminating skill of educated pharmacists.
Physicians Generally Know, for instance, what the ingredient
are which give Hood's Sarsaparilla the peculiar merit by whk it
effects so many remarkable cures, and they prescribe similar reme
dies in practice, but they do not know the exact combanatton nor the
proportions which make Hood's Sarsaparilla pecnliar to itself.
In Scrofulous- Cases and for other diseases of the blood, the
physician 's prescription is Kkely to call for one or more of the very
articles used to give Hood's Sarsaparilla'its curative power.
To Restore Lost Appetite and as strenpth-buildera, he wiH pre
scribe some of the tonic remedies combined in this medicine.
But, the Proprietors of Hood's Sarsaparilla claim, and they
think very properly, that this medicine, orifrinatinp in the prescrip
tion of an eminent physician, and being tested and perfected during
its long use by physicians and draggists, embodies a peculiar combi
nation of vegetable remedies, which, together with the peculiar
process by which it is prepared, gives ft far greater merit than can
possibly be found in the occasional prescription. ,
That It Does Possess this pecnliar merit is shown by its extra
ordinary rnres, 40,366 testimonials in two years while no other
prescription or formula has achieved anything like similar success.
Under the Pure Food and Drags Law, no change was necessary
in Hood's Sarsaparilla to conform to the law or to public sentiment.
It is perfectly safe, pure, genuine and reliable.
Another point which appeals to many in these troublous tftnes,
when every penny of expense must carefnlly be watched, is the fact
that dose for dose it is the most economical medicine the only one
of which can truly be said "100 Doses One Dollar.'
