ATTENTION NOW OR RIVER AND HARBOR Recent Floods Cause Interest in Preservation of Navigation.
COMMITTEES ACTIVE Congress Will Consider Legislation To Prevent Recurrence. (Palladium Special) WASHINGTON, D. C, April 7. With torrential floods pouring from the water sheds of the great inland streams of the country, bringing ruin and desolation in their wake, interest In the preservation of navigation and of the. integrity of the channels of the great streams themselves has naturally greatly increased. It is already evident from present discusssion that I Congress will take up the flood-control BUbject and it will necessarily be con sidered in connection with river navigation improvement. Disaster so widespread and appalling as has afflicted the Ohio Valley cannot be averted by any work of construction born of theory; the best that can be done in the opinion of practical men is to provide against dangers that ordinarily recur In the shifting seasons. This, in expert opinion, should be undertaken along with the perfecting of a comprehensive system of national waterway improvement. For the first time in eighteen years the Democrats are in control of both houses of Congress, and consequently have a ; majority in their important standing committees. So far the first time in eighteen years they control both the committees having to deal with appropriations for rivers and harbors, the Senate committee on Commerce and the House Committee on RiverB and Harbors. But no legisla tion in Congress, it should be remark ed, has been as little tainted with par tisan conduct as that pertaining to river and harbor improvement. For that very reason perhaps, more than any other, no Bchemes of legislation have developed a broader, more progressive scope than those emanating from these two committees. Leaders of both the great parties, as well as heads of the different administrations, responsive to enlightened public conviction, have united in the establishment of practical annual appropriations commensurate with existing needs and the obvious demands of the xiear future. The committees of the two houses having to deal with the question of water transportation through improvement of the navigation of streams and harbors has of late years been composed of the foremost men of Congress. The personnel of the committees in the present Congress promises to prove well up to that high mark. Clark Is Chairman. The senate committee on Commerce has been appointed while that of the House is yet to be named. The change of political complexion of the Senate changed the chairmanship and shifted the majority. The new chairman is James P. Clarke of Arkansas, "with the rest of the Democrats, Duncan U. Fletcher of Florida, George E. Chamberlain of Oregon, Joseph E. Ransdell of Louisiana, Morris Sheppard of Texas, James K. Vardman of Mississippi, John K. Shields of Tennessee, Thomas S. Martin of Virginia, John H. Bankhead of Alabama and ;Furnifold M. Simmons of North Carolina. The Republicans are Knute Nelson of Minnesota, former chairman; George C. Perkins of California, William Alden Smith of Michigan, Theodore E. Burton of Ohio, Isaac Stephenson of Wisconsin, Coe I. Crawford of .South Dakota and Geo. T. Oliver of Pennsylvania. Every part of the country Is represented from the Atlantic to the Pacific and from the lakes to the gulf, and by men who have had experience in both houses on one or the other of the committees dealing with navigation improvement, except In cases of Messrs. Clarke, Sheppard, Yardman and Shields. Chairman A UPSET STOMACH. Pape's Diapepsin" regulates your stomach and ends Indigestion in Five Minutes.
SOUR
GASSY
Wonder what upset your stomach which portion of the food did the damage do you? Well, don't brother. If your stomach is in a revolt; if sour, gassy and upset, and what you just ate has fermented into stubborn lumps; your head dizzy and aches; belch gases and acids and eructate undigested food; breath foul, tongue coated just take a little Diapepsin and in five minutes you truly will wonder what became of the indigestion and distress. Millions cf men and women today know that it is needless to have a bad stomach. A little Diapepsin occasionally keeps this delicate organ regulated and they eat their favorite foods without fear. If your stomach doesn't take care of your liberal limit without rebellion; If your food is a damage instead of a help, remember the quickest, surest, most harmless relief is Pape's Diapepsin wr.ich costs only fifty cents for a large case at drug stores. It' truly wonderful it digests food and sets things straight, so gently and easily that it is really astonishing. Please, for your sake, don't go on and on with a weak, disordered stomach; It's so unnecessary. UdTWtlMBMt).

Municipal University "The municipal university is comparatively new in this country, and its development will be watched with interest," said Dr. P. P. Claxton, United States Commissioner ef Education, in discussing the University of Cincinnati. "There are certain significant things about this city university that tend to show how valuable such an institution may be to a community. "Consider the student body. Seventy-nine per cent of those in the College of Liberal Arts are residents of the city, and they have lived In Cincinnati an average of 13 years. Nearly half of the students were born in Cincinnati. A recent inquiry elicited the information that 61 per cent, of the students lacked the means to attend a university outside the city. Th'is the university is providing higher education to residents of the municipality who could secure it in no other way. "Something like 22 per cent of the students are fatherless. Of the fathi ers of the others, less than one-fourth jare in the so-called professions. Over I three-fourths are in non-professional, j commercial, or mechanical pursuits. Clarke comes from a state of the Mississippi Valley vitally concerned in navigation and levee construction, as do Messrs. Ransdall and Vardaman. Mr. Ransdell is the most notable ac- ; quisition to the Senate committee on account both of the distinguished service he rendered in an official capac- ! ity as a member of the House commitj tee in recent congresses, and as Presi ident, since its present organization, of the National Rivers and Harbors Congress. The character of the cmomittee from top to bottom is an earnest of high capacity and an assurance of wise legislation. The elimination fro mthe last Congress are Messrs. Bourne of Oregon, Burnham of New Hampshire, Crane of Massachusetts, Republicans and Percy of Mississippi and Reed of Missouri, Democrats. The House committee will, with the exception of vacancies to be filled probably remain the same, with Stephen M. Sparkman of Florida, chairman, and Mrs. Burgess of Texas, Humphreys of Mississippi, Taylor of Alabama, Edwards of Georgia, Small of ' North Carolina, Booher of Missouri, Galagher of Illinois, Driscoll of New York, Donohue of Pennsylvania and Scully of New Jersey, containing mem bers of the majority, with Young of Michigan, Humphrey of Washington, Kennedy of Iowa and Barchfeld of Pennsylvania holdover Republicans. To Fill Vacancies, i The Ways and Means Committee, as Committee on Committees, will nominate members to fill the vacancies. It is understood that there will be a considerable number of aspirants to fill the vacancies, among them being ! William Kettner, of Santiago, Cal.; J ; H. Garland Dupre of New Orleans, La; W. S. Goodwin of Warren. Ark.; S. M. j i Taylor, of Pine Bluff, Ark.; Kenneth; D. McKellar, of Memphis, Tenn., and three Democrats from Ohio W. B. ' Francis of Martins Ferry; E. R. Bathrick, of Akron, and W. G. Sharpe of Elyria. The three Republican vacani cies left by Messrs. George P. Lawj rence of Massachusetts, Jas, H. DavI idson of Wisconsin and Wm. A. Rodenberg, of Illinois, will more than i likely be filled by the appointment of members representing those states. Water Bills Due April 1st. 31-10t Amusements At the Gennett.

ComparativelyNew As a further indication of the class reached by the university, 85.5 per cent of the male students have followed gainful occupations before coming to college, and 74 per cent of them work regularly during the year for a part of the time. It is to men and women such as these that the University of Cincinnati is extending its opportunities, by co-operative courseB, by day and evening classes, and In many other ways. "Although the municipal university may be more or less of a novelty In this country. It is by no means so rare abroad. Anyone who has studied at Leipzig knows that the university in that city is not merely a great German university, but is first and foremost the University of Leipzig a municipal institution. The city of Hamburg has just completed plans for a city university on a large scale. Likewise many of the newer English universities, while national in their aims, nevertheless endeavor to meet very directly the special needs of the industrial centers in which they are located, and j are to that extent municipal univer-! sities." ing.

SIGHTSEERS THRONG STREETS Of DAYTON Stricken Ohio City is Rapidly Assuming a Better Aspect.
CLEARING THE DEBRIS More Militiamen Than Are Needed-Public Utilities Operate. (Staff Correspondent.) DAYTON. O., April 7 Under the able supervision of the Relief Committee of Dayton conditions are rapidly assuming a better aspect and indications at present are that within a few months Dayton will be built up better and more beautiful than ever. The work of tearing down the walls of the structures which burned was in process all day yesterday. Church services were held in only a few of the churches and all business men were busy cleaning their stores from tha mud and debris deposited from the waters of the Miami. The streets were thronged with sightseers despite the efforts of the Dayton officials to keep them out. Passes to get through the lines are obtained on many false pretenses. Street Car Service. Street car lines are partially in operation and the service will be opened on many lines tomorrow according to the officials of the company. The steam cars owned by the National Cash Register company are still in operation on the main street of the city hauling flat cars of mud and debris to the outskirts of the city or to points where it can be taken out of the city. Very few of the houses In the business section are habitable and the board of health will permit no one to occupy a house which has not been inspected by a city official. The Elks' club rooms are being maintained as an office of the relief workers and hundreds of sufferers are being fed there. No water reachI ed the rooms and sanitary conditions 1 there are excellent. Too Many Soldiers. More militia men are now in the city than can properly be used and possibly some may be ordered to return to Toledo. Company 11 of the militia which has always been stationed at Dayton has been on duty since the flood started. Many boys and young men in Dayton View have enlisted in the company which is now stationed at Dayton. That streets other than brick streets are impracticable has been demonstrated in Dayton. Cement and asphalt streets are greatly impaired while the brick streets were hot damaged by the flood. The greatest mystery of the flood is tne presence of a tank of crude oil at the corner of Fourth and Jefferson streets. The tank is made of galvanized iron and weighs 125,000 pounds. It was situated three miles north of Dayton and belongs to the Standard I uu company, ine iorce or me nooa stitute east of the National Cash Register Co. The school is not damaged. r Some Streets Lighted. Some of the cluster lights are now affording some of the streets light at night! Many of the houses have electrie lights now.

The Marketing
(By I. I TOTTEN.) The producing and marketing of farm products are two disUnct propositions. Of the two it is difficult to determine which is the mere important. It is true, of course, that before a product can be sold one must have the product to sell, and it is also true that the lower the eoBt of production the greater will be the profit. In onlv a few cases does the farmer fix the price on the produce he has ; to sell. In this resoect his business ! differs considerably from that of the manufacturer. When a farmer has anything to sell he cannot say, "I must have this price or that price, he must take what Is offered. The nrices which he usually receives ! may be fair and then again they may i not. But the system breeds dissatis- i faction. A farmer says to himself, "when I buy anything they tell me , ,, i , -j i .oii th tell me what I must take." The farmer afrima to think that the city man is farming the farmer more than the farmer farms his farm. In many instances the price which the consumer pays for food products is from two to three times as much as what the farmer receives for producing it. This does not set very well, especially when the farmers are urged to produce more so that the high cost of living may be reduced, and all the time he la aware of the fact that those who handle his products, by various means of juggling, make more on a thousand dollar investment than the farmer makes from a ten thousand dollar investment. In this, I have in mind the facts brought out in the investigation of the money trust which revealed the fact that certain Wall Street financiers have made about 1172,000 on each thousand dollars of original capital put into their business shortly after ine civil war. cso mrnier can uiu i that much profit no matter how set-! entifically he farms. It does not seem just to lay the blame for the high cost of living at the door of the farmer. He may be to blame in one way, and that Is because he is not keenly alive to the marketing of his products. There should be a concerted effort to eliminate the needless middleman. I say 'needless' advisedly, because I believe there is a need of some of them. Up in Michigan the farmers are getting together to look more closely into the selling end of their business. Sixty-eight counties of Michigan have formed federations which makes !

She kept her hair beautifully darkened, glossy and abundant with a brew of Sage Tea and Sulphur. Whenever her hair fell out or took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance this simple mixture was applied with wonderful effect. But the brewing at home is mussy and out-of date. Nowadays skilled chemists do this better than ourselves. By asking at any drug store for the ready-to-use product called "Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur Hair Remedy"

quite a formidable combination. These farmers established a clearing house at Detroit in 190S through which they handle their produce. By
so doing they have eliminated the ex- light, pense of a large army of middlemen. The Indiana legisttures in the past One of the principal causes In have practically Ignored the fcleas for bringing about the federation, and the liberal appropriations for the agricnlclearins: house, was the distrust in the tural schools. They have kept our
j commission men. There have been so ; many commission men uno nave resorted to all kinds of trickery in dealing with the farmer that the farmers now have no confidence In any of them, even though they get a square deal. ! When the farmers started the clear-' lng house at Detroit, all kinds of trickery was resorted to by the outside commission houses. All kinds of discouraging literature was sent to the farmers to make them dissatisfied with the venture, but only in a few Instances did this literature have weight. The frmr uvin frmnrf nut in thJr 1 .. ,, ..., .... .i Th hiiclnosa nf lh rlearinz hnna in 1909 was double that of 1908. In 1910 it was double that of 1909. and In 1911 It was double that of 1910 and in 1912 it was double that of 1911. This clearing house is conducted on the same basis of a sales organization of a large manufacturing institution. From this main office are issued bulletins regarding markets, etc. When a farmer has anything to sell he gets in touch with the main office and he is advised where to ship and If it la advisable to ship at --ertain times. Many farmers of northern Indiana j sold produce during this last season j through the Detroit clearing house and received better returns than they ! could have obtained elsewhere I Two counties in the northern part of Indiana have already formed federation St. Joe and Starke. The good that can be accomplished by farmers getting together is incalcul able, not only in the marketing of ; thelr cropB Dut alao In other 1Jnes. I do not believe in arraying the farming class against the city class as I a whole; because city organizations j have done more for the farmers In jsome places than the farmers have idone for themselves. j What can be accomplished by con-! ; certed effort along right lines was shown In the passage of the liberal CASTOR I A For Infants and Children.
