Every woman who suffers from such ailments should give Lydia E. Pink- j ham’s Vegetable Compound a fair trial. It is surely worth while.

I NEWS REVIEW OF CURRENTEVENTS — Congress Reconvenes and the Senate Is Confronted With Plenty of Work. PEACE TREATIES SUBMITTED Revised Tax Bill Reported But Not Before Radical “Drys” Get Into Action—Tentative Agenda for Arms Conference—Serbia and Albania Fighting. By EDWARD W. PICKARD. Congress is in session again, with j the house marking time while the sent ate tries to catch up. There is a treI mendous lot of important legislation before the senators, and President Harding, through Senator Watson of I Indiana, warned them that they must ! speed up, not only for the benefit of

I the nation but in order that Republi- : can campaign promises may be redeemed. As a starter the President submitted the treaties with Germany, Austria and Hungary, without a special message but with the understanding that they shall be ratified before the conference on limitation of armaments opens in November. The treaties were referred to the foreign relations committee and the old opposition of the irreconcilables, led by Senator Borah, developed at once. It centered on the section reserving to the United States the rt^ -- to have a representative on the reparations commission. Borah contended that if this right were exercised this country would become involved immediately in the reparations dispute that forms the crux of the present European problems. At the first session Senator Penrose reported the tax bill as revised by the finance committee and he said he would seek to keep it before the senate continuously until it is disposed of. Next day the measure was called up for consideration. It may be two weeks before a final vote is taken on it. Senator Gerry was given permission to file a minority report for the Democratic members of the committee within seven days, and Senator I.a Follette was accorded the same time to file his dissenting views. The senate calendar, in addition to this tax bill and the treaties, contains such important measures as the tariff bill, the S.“o< J.om.txlO railroad funding bill, the Borah bill to exempt American coastwise vessels from payment of Panama canal tolls and the bill authorizing the President and secretary of the treasury to refund the §11.000,000,000 owed by the allied governments to the United States. Nevertheless, in what appears to be utter disregard of the best interest of the people, the radical “drys" made an attempt to capture the right of way for the Campbell-Willis antibeer bill. Senator Sterling of South Dakota forestalled Senator Penrose as soon as a quorum was obtained and moved renewal of consideration of that measure, the conference report on it being | the issue. Senator Reed refused to ; agree to the fixing of a date for a j vote. The “wets” then renewed their ; filibustering tactics, but failed to get an adjournment. From now on there will be no lack of partisan politics in congress. This was made evident on the opening day when Pat Harrison of Mississippi en- I tertained the senate with a violent at- | tack on the administration in which he asserted it had displayed “pitiable inefficiency” and practiced “outrageous ) extravagance." He scored the Pres- j ident because he plays golf ami spends ! week ends on the Mayflower. The | immediate cause of Harrison's outburst j was the letter written by President ; Harding to Senator .McCormick of 11-' j linois recounting the achievements of j i the Republican party since March 4. I This, declared the Mississippian, was j for the purpose of influencing the New I Mexico senatorial election. Senator ! Lodg< arose to reply to Mr. Harrison, i but contented himself with reading the returns from New Mexico, showing ■.

President Harding made two diplo- | matic nominations last week. Joseph : Grew, who is now minister to Denmark, is appointed minister to Switzeriand; and Dr. John D. Prime of New Jersey Is named to fill the post in Copenhagen. Dr. Prime is a professor in Columbia university. | The conference summoned by the ’ President to devise measures to reI lieve the stress of unemployment and | business depression is now in session in Washington. The conferees, who were selected by Mr. Harding and who number forty-eight, include Secretary of Commerce Hoover as chairman and the country’s leading authorities on economics and industries. Four women are among them- Elizabeth Christman of Chicago ami Ida M. Tarbell, Mrs. Sarah Conboy and Mary Van Kleeck of New York. Monthly reports of the bureau of labor statistics show improved employ- , ment conditions in a number of indus- ! tries. In nine groups of industry there were increases in the number of per-

sons on the payroll in August as compared to the July payroll and in five a decrease. Presumably all the powers Invited to the conference on limitation of armaments and Far East questions have indicated their approval of the tentative agenda submitted by Secretary of State Hughes, for an outline of the proposed outline has been made public in Washington. It is as follows: Limitation of naval armament. B;i.. mi tarion, fultilfiuem of cont!?' tions. Rules for control of new agencies of warfare. Limitation of land armament. Questions relating to China, principles to be applied. Application to subjects: (A) Territorial integrity; (B) Administrative integrity; (C) Open door. Equality of administrative and industrial opportunity; (D) Concessions, monopolies and other economic privileges; (E) Development of railways; (E) Preferential railroad rates; (G) Status of existing commitments. Questions relating to Siberia. Similar questions relating to China. Mandated islands. From London comes the regrettable news that Premier Lloyd George and Foreign Minister Curzon will not be able to come to the conference. Their constant attention will be required by Great Britain’s domestic problems. The prohibition unit of the treasury department gave the home brewers an awful jolt last week. To dispose of unfounded reports that permits were being issued for home manufacture of wine and beer, it issued a statement in which the following things were declared illegal: 1. The manufacture of any intoxicating beer, wine or spirits in the home, even for strictly private home consumption. 2. The manufacture of any beer or wine of any alcoholic content without a permit, which permits are not issued to home brewers and wine makers. 3. The sale of any hops or other । “makings" to a person without a j permit, which permits are not issued to home brewers. Only nonintoxicating fruit juices may be made without a permit, to the extent of 200 gallons. The railways are facing the prospect ! of another big strike, with the probj ability of disorder and the open shop as results. The six federated shop ; crafts unions haw voted to strike • against the general railroad wage re- . duction of July 1, last, but have dej ferred action until the United States i railway labor board promulgates the i working rules It has been eonsidering. The men are bitterly opposed to many ' of the decisions already made by the , board. They believe the railroads ' want them to strike so that the open , shop may be instituted.

The Serb commander on the frotier ordered the Albanians to evacuate sr..towns in that territory, ami twenty-foir hours later began hostilities. Bi^op San Noli, Albanian delegate to the League of Nations, reported the affiir to that body, and later it was secetly consulered by the council of the hague. The Serb delegate was quoed as saying Serbia would not pennt the league to intrude into the Albanian question; that the supreme eonm'l of the allies must fix the frontiers of Albania and thus Jugoslavia would b protected ami guaranteed by Gre/ Britain and France. TimuglL the acnual war In this case may be^'ompar/ively trifling, the matter is fraught with serious complications. Serbia, it is said, plans to cut through to the Adriatic byway of Tirana, splittin; Albania in two, and hopes eventual!” to absorb the northern half of tint country. Greece is

credited with a: ambition to grab the lower half. Inly stands ready to seize the naval base and port of Valona, which wo Id make the Adriatic an Italian lake.^ind this is vigorously opposed by Grett Britain.

Intervention in the Greco-Turkish war was suggested by several delegates and probably it would be welcomed by Greece, for her army In Asia has met with another setback. The Salt desert again proved itself an efficient guard for Angora on the west and the Greeks have once more retired to the Saka ria river with the Kemalists in hot pursuit. Gs writing many notes there is no end. apparently, in the Irish affair. De Valera wants the proposed conference with the British cabinet, but he wants it on his own terms—that the Irish delegates enter it as representatives of a sovereign state. From this attitude he dare not back down, for his own “official” status depends on his firmness. Lloyd George is equally intent in denying this demand, and is fully supported by the cabinet, whose members returned to Scotland whore the premier was somewhat under the weather at Gairloch. In one of his latest notes De Valera suggested that Britain and Ireland conclude a “treaty of accommodation and asso(iation," expressing the belief that this would end the dispute forever and enable the two nations to settle down in peace. The British official announcement, several weeks ago, that the Moslem : revolt on the Malabar coast of India had been suppressed was premature. The trouble is about as acute as ever, the rebels control large districts and, except where troops are stationed, the lives and property of non-Moslems are not sale. The British authorities In India have obtained a document calling on all Mussulmans in India to proclaim complete independence from Great Britain and set up a republic in the event that the British take action against the Angora government of Turkey.

PRIMARY TOPIC — Paul a Loving , Friend and Minister. JUNIOR TOPIC—PauI and the Silversmiths. INTERMEDIATE AND SENIOR TOPIC — Experience in Ephesus. YOUNG PEOPLE AND ADULT TOPIC | — Planting the Gospel m a Center of Paganism. I. John’s Disciples Become Christians (vv. 1-7). These twelve disciples had only j been taught the baptism of repentance as a preparation for the kingdom of God. Paul taught them to believe in Christ, that is, to receive Him as : the One who hail on the cross pro ; vlded redemption for them. When they received Christ, Paul laid Imnds upon them and they received the Holy Spirit. 11. Paul Preaching in Ephesus (vv. 8-10). 1. In the .Jewish synagogue (v. 8). His message is characterized by: (1) boldness. He realized that God had sent Him and that His authority was back of Him. (2) Reason. He reasoned with them. God’s message is never sentimental nor arbitrary, but in accord witli the highest reason. (3) Persuasion. It is not enough to come boldly with a reasonable message; it must be accompanied by persuasion. (4) Concerning the kingdom of God. He did not discourse on current events, literature, or philosophy, but upon the message of salvation through Christ. 2. In the schoolhouse of Tyrannus (vv. 9, 10). Paul’s earnest preaching only hardened the Jews. When they came out and spoke openly against this way of salvation in Christ, Paul separated the disciples from them and retired to the schoolhouse of Tyrannus. 111. God Working Miracles by Paul

(vv. 11-16). So wonderfully did he manifest His • power that handkerchiefs and aprons brought from Paul’s body healed the | sick and east out evil spirits from those whose lives had been made wretched by them. IV. A Glorious Awakening (vv. 1741). 1. Fear fell upon all (v. 17). News of the casting out of these evil spirits j created impressions favorable to Christianity. • — - 2. It brought to the front those who professed faith In Ci rist while not living right lives (v. IS), They believed, bur had not broken from sin. Great blessing would come to the church if some awakening could come ' to those whose lives are in keeping with their profession, and cause them to openly confess and make a new ■ start. 3. Gave up the practice of black arts (v. 19). This means forms of jugglery by use of charms and magical words. All such are in opposition to the will of God; therefore no one can have fellowship with God and practice them. They proved the genuineness of their actions by publicly burning their books. Though this was an expensive thing—valued at about 812.3P0—-they did not try to sell the books and get their money back. When you find you have been in a wrong business, make a clean sweep of things; burn up your books on Spiritualism, Christian Science, etc.; empty your whisky and beer into the sewer, ami have a tobacco party similar to the Boston tea party. j 4. Uproar of the Silversmiths at Ephesus (vv. 23-41). (1) The occasion (vv. 23, 24). This was the power of the gospel in destroying the infamous business of Demetrius and his fellows. It was clear to them that Idolatry was tottering before the power of the gospel. They were not interested particularly in the matter ! from a religious standpoint, but be- ' cause it was undermining the principal business of the city. (2) The method (vv. 25-29). Demetrius, a ■ leading business man, whose business

I was the stay of others of a similar i nature, called a meeting and stated i that much people had turned from idolatry and that the market for their wares was materially weakening. He ■ appealed to his fellows (a) on the ground of business, saying ‘‘This, our craft, is in danger of being set at naught,” (v. 27). (b) On the ground lof religious prejudice. He said "The temple of the great goddess Diana I should be despised” (v, 27). He became quite religious when he saw that his business was being interfered with. His speech gained his end; the whole crowd was enraged ami yelled in unison, "Greal is Diana of the . Ephesians.” The mob was quieted hy the tact ami go<,d judgment of the ■ town clerk: first, he reproved them for yelling for two hours to prove a point which everybody admiued (vw ■ 25, 2d); se ond. he showed that Paul and his company were m>i guilty of ■ any criminal act (vv. 27-39) ; th rd. he ■ showed that the people were in danger of being called to t for lb's riot, should it come to 'he ears of (Tesar (vv. 40, 41).

HONORS RESTED WITH CHOATE Possibly Because He Had the Last W'ord in Witty Duel With Chauncey M. Depew. New Yorkers agree that either Joseph Choate or Chauncey M. Depew was the finest after-dinner speaker on earth. Some one says: “At an annual dinner of the St. Nicholas so- । ciety Choate was down for the toast I ‘The Navy,’ while Depew was to respond to ‘The Army.’ Depew began by saying: ‘lt's well to have a specialist; that's why Choate is here to speak about the navy. We met at the wharf once and I never saw him again until we reached Liverpool. When I asked how he felt he said he thought he would have enjoyed the trip over If he had had any ocean air. Yes, you want to hear Choate on the navy.’ “Choate responded: ‘l've heard Dej pew hailed as the greatest after-din-ner speaker.

WATER FROM ARTESIAN WELL Why Method of Bringing It to Surface Is Only Successful in Certain Localities. Artesian wells are possible only in certain localities. When there are j pervious strata lying between imi pervious beds the water percolating i through will be imprisoned; lying upon the lowest, and rising to^ s^ne point in the highest, when a previous stratum brings it to the surface and ,it escapes in the form of spring. If. however, a shaft can be sunk to the i lowest point, the water of the whole basin will pass upward for escape and will rise to a level corresponding to the greatest height to which the imprisoned strata reaches. The wells were named from one at Artois, France, which was the first sunk with full knowledge of the principle involved. The Chinese from time immemorial have used these wells, and they have also been used for cen- , turies in the neighborhood of Vienna. The artesian well at Grenoble, near Paris, throws water to a height of 32 feet above the surface at the rate of more than 500 gallons a minute. — Boston Globe. Heard It Before.
