Washington. April . With th United State In the midst of war and with th most Important war lecls latlon awaiting consideration by Con gress, th United Slates Senate ha been frittering away, day after day, valuable time la political campaign speeches. partisan vituperation and utter fool Inshnesa. Nothing convict th Senal on this charge more quickly than the Congressional Record itself. A fair Illustration of how the Senate la not helping to win the war appears In the Congressional Record of March Si. and tbe publia Itself may Judge. A collec tion la taken from this Record, typical of the proceedings of th entire day. Of the early proceeedlngs the following la reported: eaateetal Elect tea la W iseeaals. Mr. Williams Mr. President. I wish. without taking up the time of the Sen ate that the secretary read It at th desk, to request. In lieu' of that, that there be printed In tbe Record as a part Lof my remarks an editorial appearing In the Milwaukee Journal entitled As n Lenroot to Withdraw. Republican Or gans in State Ask Union on Uavles. Leading lierman-LAnguage Organ of Milwaukee Among G. o. P. Papers Now Supporting President's Choice." 1 also ask to have Inserted in the Record an article appearing In the same paper on March 21 entitled "Duty of Lenroot. Indiana Republican Organ Says It Is to Withdraw." Th President Pro Tempore Is there objection? Mr. Srooot Mr. President. I think this is absolutely unnecessary, and I object. The President Pro Tempore The Senator from Mississippi ha not con cluded. Mr. Williams I also ask that there be inserted In the Record, appearing upon page X of the same paper, nn arti cle entitled "Why Lenroot Is Unavail able. Chicago Republican Paper Calls Chairman West' Bluff. Chance Wis consin Would Take With Lenroot as Senator. Chairman West Passes the IJn and Now It I Up to Him to Show Who Is Telling a Lie." 1 ask that, upon the second column of that same paper, there be printed a communication of Chairman West de nying certain charges against Mr. Len root. so that both side of the contro versy may appear in parallel columns In the Record. The President Pro Tempore la there objection to the request of the Senator from Mississippi? Mr. Cssoot Objects. Mr. Smoot Mr. President. I object, and I ask for tbe regular order. The President Pro Tempore Objec tion Is made by the Senator from Utah to tbe request of th Senator from Mis sissippi. Mr. Williams Very welL Hand It to me. then, and I will stand here In my place and read It all. It will take about three hours. Mr. Smoot Mr. President. I demand tbe resular order. Mr. Williams Mr. President. I do not know any rule of this body that for bids a Senator who baa acquired the recognition of th chair from talking as long aa he pleases upon any subject. Mr. smoot I call for th regular or der. Mr. William I shall therefore pro ceed to talk, and talk upon this par ticular subject, by reading- these aru cl-s. Mr. Smoot Regular order. Sir. ITesi dent! The President Pro Tempore Th reg- lar order Is called for and In tpe. morn- Ins: hour the chair thinks that the reg nlar order, being demanded, must be followed. Mr. William. I understand that, hut I am within the regular order. I am now talking about the regular order, and I am going to continue to talk about the regular order. I do not know of any rule of this body I have tried to find a rule very many times that could shut a Senator off from talk ing when fa wanted to talk. I think It would be very valuable if the chair ronld find a rule of that sort, out 1 have never discovered It. and I do not think there Is any rule of tbat sort; and If I am to be mad a martyr In order that a rale of that sort msy te esiao- llhhed. I shsll be very glad of It. Mr. Smoot Regnlsr order! Mr. Kenvon Regular order! Mr. Williams Now. Mr. ITesldent. having addressed myself to the chair and having been recognised. I shall proceed. Mr. Smoot Mr. President Regalar Order Prevails. The President Pro Tempore The chair I compelled to rule that th Sen ator from Mississippi Is not In order. There la nothing before the Senate at the nreaent time. There I no report of a committee before the Senate, which a th regular order, and tne reg-uiar order I that prescribed in tne pro redure for the morning hour. Mr. William Do I understand tnai th chair haa finally ruled tbat there Is some limitation to a Senator's right to talk: because. If that Is true. I shall k. v,nr elad of It. Ths President Tro Tempore .The present occupant of the c hair will make hat ruling during the morning hour. Mr. William Very well- I am aouo- ly glad that the Senator from Delaware happen to t tne presiuing ounce m this august body. I have been waiting for years for some assertion that a ama time, aoroew here, somehow. I Senator might be cut short from talk ing indefinitely: and I am glad to wet' come th fact that I am th Senator who has been cut short. The president pro tempore Report of committee are In order. An hour later the Senate took np consideration of th Indian appropria tion bllL Senator Williams, of Missis sippi, broke Into th debate and the following appears In the Congressional Record : Mr. Williams Mr. President. I move to strike out the lsst word. No. Mr. President. 1 ask. In support of the motion I have Just made, not wishing to take up the time of the Sen ate unnecessarily, to have Inserted in the Record, wlthont reading, an edi torial appearing upon page S of the Milwaukee Journal of March !S en titled "Why Lenroot la Unavailable." Then I ask that there be Inserted In th Record following that. Chairman West's tatement headed "Who Is Tell ing a Lie?" so that the two statements may appear, on correcting the other as far a possible. The Presiding Officer Is there ob jection to th request of the Senator from Mississippi? Mr. Smith, of Arlsona Let us hare a rote on the pending MIL Miserable Twaddle Denounced. Mr. Ashnrst There 1 no request the Senator from Mississippi could make of me that I would object to; but. Mr. President, let me say now that we could have passed the Indian appro priation bill In 10 minutes yesterday had It not been for the miserable twad dle that Senator Indulged In respect ing politics. Let us in this great crisis show that we ars men. and act as be comes men. Let us do the business of the country. Instead of talking about something that has no relation to tbe subject. Now, I civ warning that If any mora of this political twaddle is brought Into this chamber while the bill which I have In charge 1 under consideration. I will move to adjourn In rder that th country may know that th Senate of the United States has de graded to such a low estate that it cannot do It own routine business. Mr. Williams-Mr. President, I have only to state that the Senate' "routine business" Is a very contemptible thing in comparison with the war situation and the world situation aa we are faced with It today, and wbat I am proposing to put In the record has something to do with th war situation and th world situation. I am. of course, sorry to receive a lecture from the Senator from Arlsona. and I feel absolutely reduced to Insignificance by the power and force of it: but, at the same time. I be liove I know something about ray duties aa an American citisen and something about my duties as a mem ber of the Senate, and I am pursuing those duties to th best of my ability. I have not brought any politics upon this floor; I have not been guilty, of any "political twaddle, aa the Senator from Arlsona haa appeared to say. am merely answering certain things that cam out In the debate of March Si. when the troops of the allies were fighting like heroes in Europe and when we were being criticised here. Mr. Wllllasaa Net Meaat. Mr. Ashurst Mr. President, If the Senator will yield for Just a moment. when I characterised the performance of yesterday as "miserable twaddle" I did not have in mind the Senator. The Senator know I would not characterise anything he could say In that way. There was no reference to him. I was humiliated, as were all true Americans, by the spectacle of yesterday; and, so far as In me lies. It 1 not going to be repeated again today. Mr. Williams Mr. President. I ask consent that there also be published In tbe Record an article appearing In the first column of the Milwaukee Journal, dated Monday, March 2i, en titled "Ask Lenroot to Withdraw. Re publican Organs in State Ask Union on Iiavies. leading German Language Organ of Milwaukee Among G. O. P. Papers Now Supporting the President's Choice." The Presiding Officer Is there ob jection? Mr. Smoot Mr. President. I ask the Senstor from Mississippi to make all of his requests at once. Mr. Williams I do not understand the Senator. Mr. Smoot I ask the Senator from Mississippi to make all of the requests for the insertion of matter In the Record at one time, so that the whole matter may be before the Senate at once. I understand that he has a num ber of articles for insertion. Mr. William I choose to select my own course of procedure without very much suggestion from the Senator from Utah. Ordinarily, of course, I would be very glad to receive sugges tions from htm, but I have proffered that request and I should like to know what has become of It. because if not granted, of course I will have to read the articles. The Presiding Officer Is there ob jection to the request of the Senator from Mississippi? Williams Forced to Read. Mr. McCumber Mr. President, 'I do not believe that In the United States Senste we should thrash out the po litical question which is now being fought out in Wisconsin. This Is not the proper forum to try that question, and to attempt to do so is to take ad vantage of the candidates, because neither of them Is on the floor to an swer for himself. For these reasons I feel that I ought to do what I can to prevent such a proceeding. All I can do Is to object to this discussion In the shape of editorial and writings being placed In the Record. I do not think they ought to be in the Record, and, therefore, I object. I appreciate the fact that the Senator from Mis sissippi can himself read the articles. The Presiding Officer Objection is made. Mr. Williams The Senator having objected. In my own time I will read what follows the headings I have al ready Indicated. (Laughter In the gal leries.) Mr. McCumber I wish that -the reading could 4e a little louder. Evi dently from their response, tbe gal leries can hear, but Senators cannot hear. Mr. Williams I do not understand the Senator. Mr. McCumber I have stated that. of course, the Senator can read the articles; no one can prevent that; but I hope that they will be read loud enough so that we can hear them. Mr. Williams Mr. President, I will attempt, in accordance with the de mand of my friend -from North Da kota, to raise my voice so loud that even tbe angels in heaven can hear If they want to listen. (Laughter in the galleries.) Mr. McCumber The angels In heaven evidently have heard. (Laughter.) The Presiding Officer Let there be order In the galleries. Mr. Williams There is at least one angel In heaven very much Indisposed to hear, and that Is the Senator from North Dakota. (Laughter.) Mr. McCumber No; the Senator from North Dakota hopes to hear the reading. Senator Williams then proceeded to read newspaper clippings and Interpo late the bitterest kind of partisan ut terances, speaking solely with a view to having his speech printed and cir culated In Wisconsin prior to the sen atorlal election. It's not what you tiiink. It's not what you say. It is what you do that counts in this war. Your acts are the measure of your citizenship. ; , True Americans save and buy Liberty Bonds. It is your duty to huy Liberty Bonds. The third issue of Liberty Bonds pay 414 per cent interest. That is . more than banlc interest.

If you haven't the cash the bank will help you buy a bond on time. The bank profits nothing.

Shake Off That Grip When Spring comes, with its changeable weather and your exposure, it is best to clear away all the symptoms left after an attack of grip. That evil disease leaves you weakened, and when its victim attempts to "do his bit" he exposes himself to the risk of a second attack, for which he is less prepared, and which may have graver consequences. There's Danger in Delay April and May are pneumonia months. In this time a weakened system is a constant source of danger, for the pneumonia and grip infections are in the air, and after a long Winter the body is so clogged with waste it cannot resist them. Fortify the health, remove the catarrh, and improve the digestion. FREUEFCK PERUNA This reliable tonic is recommended to remove the waste from tthe body, counteract the catarrhal poisons and allay the inflammation that is catarrh, restore the regular ap petite and tone up the entire system to resist disease.

For a few cents yon can get small bottle of the magic freezone discovered by Cincinnati chemist. Just ask at any drug store for a small bottle of freezone. Apply a few drops upon a tender, aching corn and in stantly that old bothersome corn stops hurting, then shortly yon can lift it out, root and all, with the fingers. Just think! Not one bit of pain before applying freezone or afterwards. It doesn't even irritate the surround ing skin. Hard eoras, soft corns, ob corns between the toes, also hardened calluses on bottom of feet ehrivel np and fall off without hurting a particle. Ladies! Keep freezone handy en your dresser. Wonderful! Which Do You Prefer; A Quick Get-Away Or a Sure Start? OF THE TWO, which do you preferin a motor car? YOU -CAN HAVE ONE but it is impossible to have both in the same car.

Reo starts on. the touch of the starter-button, while others start only after long, minutes of grind- . ing or exhaust their batteries and have to be hand-cranked or towed. JUST WATCH , THIS on a cold night when all makes of cars are engaged in an impromptu starting contest. REOS ALWAYS WIN in that test mainly; because of the low compression Reo motors. EXCESSIVE ACCELERATION is achieved by the adoption of high compression. Exces sive power and speed too beyond the needs or the desires of most owners. BUT LOW' UPKEEP economy in operation and in maintenance over a long period of years as found in Reos is one of the results of adhering to the low compression principle.' 55 POUNDS per square inch is the Reo rule some engineers double that. LONG LIFE of bearings is another Reo quality due to the use of "over size" bearings and the lesser strains to which they are subjected in the low-compression Reo motor. DOES IT MATTER .whether you reach the next street corner a second or even three . . seconds later? OR DO YOU PREFER a car that is certain to, start and save the time that way. IT IS A FACT that in a race from a zero motor to the next street crossing, a Reo will wnr every time. AN,D1N THE LONG RUN there's simply no comparison in the durability, the dependability and the general upkeep of Reos and the high compression kind.

THfi OOLD STAXUARO OV VALUES WHFf vm.n waa mm i a o-s aw i a iimmm M a LliCrLUMPS OF LEAD f When you wake up with backache and dull misery In tbe kidney region it generally means you have been eating too much meat, says a well-known authority. Meat forms urld acid, which overworks the kidneys in their effort to filter it from the blood and they become sort of paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys get sluggish and clog you must relieve them, like you relieve your Dowels, removing au we body's urinous waste, else you have backache, sick headache, dizzy spells: your stomach sours, tongue is coated. and when the weather is bad you have rheumatic twinges. The urine is cloudy, full of sediment, channels often get sore, water scalds and you are obliged to seek relief two or three times dur ing the night. Either consult a good, reliable physi cian at once or get. from your pharma cist about four ounces of Jad Salts; take a tablespoonful in a glass of wa ter before breakfast for a few days and your kidneys will then act fine. This famous salts Is made from tho acid of grapes and lemon Juice, com bined with lithia. and has been used for generations to clean and stimulate sluggish kidjieys, also to neutralize acids In the urine so it no longer irri tates, thus ending bladder weakness. Jad Salts is a life saver for regular meat eaters. It is inexpensive, cannot injure and mak a delightful, effer vescent lithia-water drink. Adv. 1 ' fGTlioe.o
