It is a good, wholesome medicine which I am pleased to recom- mend. REV. H. J. LYNCH, Pastor St. Peter’s ' Church Danbury, 1886-1905. And the Sisters of Mercy: It gives us pleasure to tes- tify to the healing and build- ing properties of Linonine. We have found it efficacious in cases of bronchitis and luag {roubles, also as a builder and strength restorer. We confi- dently recommend its use to others suffering from Slmllal‘ affections. SISTERS OF MERCY St. Peter’s Convent, Danbury, Conn. Both of these testimonials - were given more than ten years ago.— Linonine has been the most effective remedy for all forms of coughs, colds, bronchitls and wasting diseases for many, many year: It was best in Father Lynch’s time. it is best now. If coughs or colds threaten to bring you low, or have alrcady done so, it will bring about a rapid .improve- ment, and you will be yourself again In a very short time. Let us suggest that you give Linonine a trial. Your Sruggist has it in three sizes, 25c, 50c, HERALD ADVTS . PAY DIVIDENDS | ployment of all railway | aperating trains in | pointment RAILWAY LAWS ARF URGED BY WILSON BEFORE CONGRESS, (Continued from First Page.) ing measures of the program of set- tlement and regulation which I had cccasion to recommend to you close of your last session in view the public dangers disclosed by unaccommodated difficuities which then existed, and which still unhappily continue to exist, between the rail- roads of the country and motive engineers, conductors, | trainmen. “I then recommended: rst, immediate provision for the enlargement and administrative re- organization of the interstate com- merce commission along the lines em hodied in the bill recently passed I the house of representat and now awaiting action by the senate; in order that the commission may be enabled to deal with the many great and various duties now devolving upon it with a promptness and thor- oughness which are, with its present constitution and means aof action practically impossible. ] “Second, the establishment of an eight-hour. day as the legal basis alike of work and of wages in the em- employes who engaged in the work of interstate trans- and are actually portation. by the president of a small body of men to observe the ac | tual results in experience of the adop- tion of the eight-hour day in railway transportation alike for the men and the railroads. Increase in Frei “Fourth, explicit congre of the consideration by inte ate commerce commission an increase of freight rates to meet such additional expenditures by the railroads as may have been rendered necessary by the adoption of the eight-hour day and which have not been offset by administrative readjust- ments and economies, should the facts disclosed justify the increase. “Fifth, an amendment of the exist- ing federal statute which provides for the mediation, conciliation and arbi- tration of such controversies as the present by adding to it a provision that, in case the methods of accom- modation now provided for should fail, a full public investigation of the merits of every such dispute shall be instituted and completed before a strike or lockout may lawfully be at- tempted. ¢« “And, sixth, the lodgement in the hands of the executive of the power. in case of military necessity, to takn control of such portions and such rolling stock of the railways of the country as may be required for mili- tary use and to operate them for mili tary purposes, with authority to draft into the military service of the United States such train crews and adminis- trative officials as the circumstances require for their safe and efficient us “The second and third of these re ommendations the congy immedi- ately acted on: it established the eight-hour day as the legal basis of work and wages in train service and it authorized the appointment of a commission to observe and report upon the practical results, deeming these the measures most immediately needed; but it postponed action upon the other suggestions until an oppor- tunity should be offered for a ors deliberate consideration of them. The fourth recommendation I do not deem it necessary to renew. The power of the interstate commerce commission to grant: an increase of rates on the ground referred to is indisputably clear and a recommendation by the congress with regard to such a mat- ter might seem to draw in question the scope of the commission’s author- ity or its inclination to_ do justice when there is no reason to doubt cither. “The other suggestions,—the in- crease in the interstate commerce comm ion’s membership and in its facilities for performing its manifold duties, the provision for full public investigation and assessment ‘of in- dustrial disputes, and the grant to the executive the power to control and operate the railw when necessary in time of war or other like public necessity,—I now very earnestly re- new. “The necnscity fo such legislation is manifest and pressing. Those who have entrusted us with the responsi- bility and duty of serving and safe- guarding them in such matters would find it hard, I believe. to excuse a failure to act upon these grave mat- ters or any unnecessary postponement of action upon them. Not only does the interstate com- merce commission now find it practi- cally impossible, with its present membership and organization, to per- form its great functions promptly and thoroughly but it is not unlikely that it may be presently found advisable to add to its duties still others equal- 1y he: and exacting. It must first be perfected as an administrative in- strument. “The country cannot and should not consent to remain any longer exposed to profound industrial disturbances for lack of additional means of arbi- tration and conciliation which the congress can easily and promptly sup- ply. And all will agree that there must be no doubt as to the power of the executive to make immediate and uninterrupted use of the railroads for the concentration of military forces of the nation wherever they are needed and whenever they are needed: “This is a program of regulation, prevention and administrative effi- it Rates. approval by the the of YOUR NECK\‘VFAR ALWAYS.

It is based upon the very different principle that the concerted action of poweful bodies of mea shall not be permitted to stop the industrial pro- cesses of the nation. at any rate be- fore the nation shall have had an op- portunity to acquaint itself with the merits of the case as between employe and employer, time to form its opinion upon an impartial statement of the merits, and opportunity to consider all practicable means of conciliation or I'can see nothing in that but the justifiable safe- guarding by society of the necessary processes of its very life. There is nothing arbitrary or unjust in it un- less it be arbitrarily and unjustly done. It can and should be done with a full and scrupulous regard for the interests and liberties of all concern- ed as well as for the permanent inter- ests of society itself. “Three matters of capital import- ance await the action of the senate which have already been acted upon by the house of representatives: the bill which seeks to extend greater freedom of combination to those en- gaged in promoting the foreign com- merce of the country than is now thought to be legal under the terms of the laws against monopoly; the bill amending the present organic law of Porto Rico; and the bill proposing a more thorough and systematic regu- lation of the expenditure of money in elections, commonly called the corrupt practices act. I need not labor my advice that these measures be enacted into law. Their urgency lies in the manifest circumstances which render their adoption at this time not only opportune but necessary. Even delay would seriously jeopard the inter- ests of the country and of the govern- ment. “Immediate passage of the bill to regulate the expenditure of money in elections may seem to- be less neces- sary than the immetiiate enactment of the other measures to which I refer; because at least two years will elapse before another election in which fed- eral offices are to be fille but it would greatly relieve the public mind if this important matter were dwelt with while the circumstanc dangers to the public mo present method of obtaining and spending campaign funds stand clear under recent observation and the metheds of expenditure can be frank- ly studied in the light of present ex- perience; and a delay would have the further very serious disadvantage of postponing action until another elec- tion was at hand and some special object connected with it might be '\ntl who urged it. Action can be taken now with facts for guidance and with- out suspicion of partisan purpose. “I shall not argue at length the desirability of giving a freer hand in the matter of combined and concerted effort to those who shall undertake the essential enterprise of building up our export trade. That enterprise will presently, will immediately as- sume, has indeed already assumed, a magnitude unprecedented in our ex- perience. We have not the necessary instrumentalities for its prosecution; it is deemed doubtful whether they could be created upon an adequate scale under our present laws. We should clear away all legal obstacles and create a basis of undoubted law for it which will give freedom without permitting unregulated license. The thing must be done now, because the opportunity is here and may escape us if we hestitate or delay. “The argument for the proposed amendments of the organic law of Porto Rico is brief and conclusive. The present law governing the island and regulating the rights and privileges of its people are not just. We have created expectations of extended privilege which we have not satisfled. There is uneasiness among the people of the island and even a suspicious doubt with regard to our intentions concerning them which the adoption of the pending measure would happily remove. We do not doubt what we wish to do in any essential particu- lar. We ought to do it at once. “At the last sesslon of the congress a bill was passed by the senate which provides for the promotion of voca- tional and industrail education which is of vital importance to the whole thought to be in the mind of those | country because it concerns a matter, too long neglected, upon which the thorough industrial preparation of the country for the critical years of economic development immediately ahead of us in very large measure depends. May 1 not urge its early and favorable consideration by the house of representatives and its early enactment into law? It contains plans which would effect all interests and all parts of the country, and I am sure that there is no legislation now pending before the congress whose passage the country awaits with more thoughtful approval or greater impa- tience to see a great and admirable thing set in the way of being done. “There are other matters already advanced to the stage of conference between the two houses of which it is not necessary that I should speak. Some practicable basis of agreement concerning them will no doubt be found and action taken upon them. “Inasmuch as this is, Gentlemen, probably the last occasion I shall have to address the sixty-fourth congress, I hope that you will permit me to say | with what genuine pleasure and sat- | isfaction I have co-operated with you in the many policy with which you have enriched ! the legislative annals of the country. | It has been a privilege to labor in | such company. I take the liberty of | cohgratulating you upon the comple- | tion of a record of rare serviceableness | and distinetion.” WOMAN’S COLUB MEETING. Husband of Famous Opera Singer Heard in Recital This Afternoon. Members of the Woman's club en- joyed ‘“an afternoon with Grieg” at the home of Mrs. J. B. Talcott on Grove Hill this afternoon at 3 o'clock. Harry L. Brainard, well known vocal teacher of New York, presided at the piano and the soloist was Maurice Peck. John Spencer Camp of Hartford gave a talk on the life of Grieg, the musician. There was considerable interest at- tached to the visit of Mr. Brainard to this city. He was formerly a resident of Hartford where he taught music for a number of years. His father was the late Lewis Brainard, an offi- cial of the Connecticut Safe and De- posit company. His wife was Olive Fremstadt, the celebrated grand op- era singer, and Mr. Brainard was married to her last month at her summer camp in Maine. Mrs. Brain- ard was divorced from E. W. Stuphen in 1911, after having been married five years.

Use Grandmoth- ers’ recipe of Sage Tea and Sul- phur and nobody will know. are not in The use of Sage and Sulphur for re- storing faded, gray hair to its natural color dates back to grandmother's time. She used it to keep her hair beautifully dark, glossy and attractive. Whenever her hair took on that dull, faded or streaked appearance, this simple mixture was applied with won- derful effect. But brewing at home is mussy and out-of-date. Nowadays, by asking at any drug store for a 50 cent bottle of eth’s Sage and Sulphur Com- pound,” vou will get this famous ola preparation, improved by the addition of other ingredients, which can be de- rended upon to restore natural color and beauty to the hair. A well-known downtown druggist says it darkens the hair so naturally and evenly that nobody can tell it has been applied. You simply dampen a sponge or soft brush with it and draw this through your hair, taking one strand at a ttme. By morning the gray Pair disappears, and after another ap- plication or two, it becomes beautityl- ly dark and glossy.
