The committee lop- ped off nearly $2,000,000 from the es- timates submitted by the various de- | partments, cutting salary.allowances all along the line, and brought in a measure appropriating $38,744,753.50. The bill provides for more than 16,000 salaries of government employes. The total of the bill shows an in- crease of $1,128,843" over last’ year's measure. But this year’s measure in- <ludes a special appropriation for 1,000 additional employeys for taking the agricultural census authorized by the law covering the last regular census in 1910, , The cqmmlttee in its report says that tm( ig an, exmmrdl.nary ex: penditure which' wm come-onge évery ten years and 'maintains, “therefore, that this year's measure is materially Iess tpan the last appropriation. The bill contains the usual provi-|t sion cutting down the mileage allow- ance of members of congress from 20 cents a mile to 5 cents a mile. The fight to eut down the mileage al- lowance has been on for years and al- though ‘thé’ committee each year re- ports the reduction in thé' bill it is [efeated either’ on -the - floor of ‘the use or in the senate. The committee cut $102,260 from the estimates of the secretary of com- merce for the work of the bureau of foreign and domestic commerce, al- though an increase'of' $25,000 over last year's appropriation was allowed for promoting commerce with South and Central America.

Washington, Dec. 15.—Further in- -vestigation of governmental owner—' ship of telephone and telegraph sys- tems in this country is embodied in the postofice appropriation bill, just | prepared.

The officers of supervision in first class offices will be postmaster, super- intendent of finance and superintend- ent of malls. The bill raises the maximum bal- ances acceptable in the postal sav- ings banks from $500 to $2,000, with interest payable' on amounts only up’| to $1,000.

He adds that the greatest losses are sustainéd in coal mining and petro- leum operations, and that the bureau of mines will ‘investigate and make an'’ effort to. check the wnste RUSSIANS. HEPURT et ‘GEHMANS CHECKED Petrograd, Dec. 15.-—The Russians defendfng the linein the Lowicz re- gion have inflicted such serious losses upon the attacking army of General Mackensen that his lines will have to be reformed before another general offense can be attempted. Reports reaching here make this claim and assert the Germans have been held in check all along the thir- ty-mile front over which the engage- ment has been raging. The German attack continues day and night, but the force of. their as- sault has greatly diminished, it is stated, Thousands of men have been thrown forward in a vain attempt to break through the Russian defense. A half million Germans are declared to be massed on this front, which is on the line of their main advance. The latest official statement from the war office claims that the forces to the north' of the Vistula have met with complete success in repulsing the German advance from the direction of Mlawa. This movement has been com- pletely crushed. It had for its object an advance upon Warsaw from the northwest. The Germans were attempting to make a wide detour through Przasnysz, but are now declared to be in retreat. * After three years continuous work a five-mile tunnel recently was pierced through the Jura mountains to shorten railroad routes from Paris to Berne and Milan. . A remarkable series of subterran- ean caves in German East Africa has been discovered and partly explored‘ by a missionary and a government official. A PVPLY 1 leples are ‘Tmpurities Seekmg : an Outlet Through Skin Pores. Pimples, sores and boils usually re- sult from toxins, poisons and impurities which are generated in the bowels and then absorbed into the blood through the very ducts which should absorb only nourishment to sustain_the body. It is the function of the kidneys to filter - impurities from the blood and cast them .out in the form of urine, but in many instances the bowels create more toxins and impurities than the kidneys can eliminate, then the blood uses the skin pores as the next best means of getting rid of these impurities which often break out all over the skin in the form of pimples. The surest way to clear the skin of these eruptions, says a noted authority, is to get from any pharmacy about four ounces of Jad Salts and take : tablespoonful in a glass of hot wate: each morning before breakfast for one week. This will prevent the formation of toxins in the bowels. It also lates the kidneys to normal acti thus coaxing them to filter the blood of impurities and clearing the skin of pimples. Jad Salts is inexpensive, harmless and is made from the acid of grapes and lemon juice, combined with lithia. Here you have a pleasant, effervescent drink which usually makes pimples disappear; cleanses the blood and is excellent for the kidneys as well. PUT SULPHUR ON AN ITCHING SKIN AND END EGZEMA: Ss'yl this old-time Eczema rem- edy is applied like cold cream, Any u'ntatlon or breaking out on the face, arms, legs or body when accom- panied by itching, or when the skin is dry and feverish, can be readily over- come by applymg a little bold-sulphur, says a noted dermatologist. He states that bold-sulphur instantly allays the angry itching and . irritation and soothes and heals the Ecaema right up leaving the skin clear and smooth. Bold-sulphur has oceupied & secure posi- tion for many years in the treatment of cutaneous disorders because of its parasite-destroying property. Nothing has ever been found to take its place in treating the irritable and inflam- matory skin affections. While not al- ways establishing a permanent cure it never fails to subdue the itching irri- tation and drive the Eczema away and it is often years later before any erup- tion again appears on the skin. Those troubled should obtain at any drug store an ounce of bold- sulphur which is applied to the affected parts in the same mauner as an ordinary cold cream. CREAM FOR CATARRH !
