Congressman Good, chairman of the Important house committee on appropriations, was the first one of the Iowa delegation to return to Washington and take up the preliminary work of preparing for active operation. Mr. Good spent most of last week in conferences with officials of the various government departments who are besieging congress for early passago of appropriations bills in order not to seriously interfere with the continued operation of these departments. Mr. Good Is carefully scrutinizing estimates for funds, and is personally conferring with the responsible heads of the various departments to ascertain the necessity for every dollar sought.

While the new chairman of the house "spending" committee does not desire to be niggardly, he nevertheless has determined to know specifically the uses to which the funds sought of congress are to be put. He is of the opinion that many of the departments, how that the war emergency has practically ceased, will be able to Inaugurate economies that were not possible during the fevered days of actual hostilities. To carry out his Intention to watch the dollars asked for, Mr. Good is demanding of all the de partments detailed information in substantiation of the appropriations Ihev seek Prepare For I.ona: Session All the other members of the Iowa delegation arrived last week I MA.y SALE Council Bluffs, May 19.

The State i Federation of Labor will hold its (annual convention at Sioux City starting Tuesday of this week, with labor conditions more or less upset in various parts of the state. Serious strikes have been on in Des Moines and Sioux City for weeks.

At Cedar Rapids the mol-ders are out and at Burlington the recruiting of new members on the part of the unions is reported to be the cause of some agitation, altho there have been no strikes. In Des Moines more, than 5,000 members of the building trades have been out since early in April and all important, building is tied up. It is rumored daily, however, that an agreement is about to be reached thru which the men will return to work. Fred Canfield of Cedar Tiaptds, president of the State Federation of Iabor, is a candidate for re-election and it is thought he will be elected. K.

B. Menton, Boone, and J. W. Scott, Des Moines, are also candidates for the presidency. The matter of starting a labor paper, possibly daily, possibly weekly, will be discussed at the meeting.

This question has been in the minds of a number of the leaders for some time. Labor leaders declare that except for the enactment of the workmen's compensation act, which was really passed because its friends outma- neuvered its opponents, there was little encouragement given to labor by the last general assembly. The bankers and the insurance companies got everything they wanted apparently, but not so wtth laws touching on the interests of the raTfor VoTen Vhlch prev in people in general. The nine-hour manv states failed of passage. Even the lawyers in the legislature, who! were in fact not asking for any-1 thtnn- nf ecnecial Interest to their profession as were the bankers and insurance interests, could pas laws which were not sanctioned by the bankers.

Legislation to be proposed to the coming general assembly will be considered at the Sioux City meeting. TUI0 II IIIIJ II Tells How Lydia E. Pink-ham's Vegetable Compound Restored Her Health. Philndelphla. Ta.

"I was very weak, always tired, my back ached, end I felt sickly most of the time.

Cedar Rapids, May 19 "Who died last?" (hat is the question that is puzzling members of the Haines, Chamberlain Ai llatulik law firm of this city, In a that promises to be us weird and as complicated us any that has ever arisen iu this state In many years.

There are few who do not remember the terrible tragedy that occurred at Oxtord Junction during the influenza epidemic, when the lilaut'k family, mother, father and throe children, all ill, died in their home as it burned to the ground. From that awful fatality has sprung a law case which Is the first, ot its kind to appear iu this state lor a period of 20 jears. Oxford Junction is a small town lying on the main line of the C. M. At St.

P. and not far far from this city. The lilasek family lived on a farm close to the Junction and each member was 111, from the intlueiiza, when, from some unknown cause, the farm house caught tire and burned to the ground, result ins iu the death of the entire family. As Blasek was possessed of much land and left a considerable amount of money there has arisen a dispute over who the rightful heir to the property might be. According to law, the disposal of the estate depends upon knowing which member of the tamily died last.

Provided the father was the last to survive the estate would go to his heirs; provided the mother was the last to survive, the property would go to her heirs and in case the children were the last to die the estate would he divided eonallv between the father's and the mother's heirs. An administrator for the father and also for the mother was appointed and now the case lies between the two parties. The work i of the lawyers is to try and deter-jmine which member of the ill-fated family was the last to die. Attorney Don Barnes pointed out that this was a gruesome task and that the verdict would necessarily be based upon the position In which the bodies were found following the fire and also in the matter of proximity of the chaired remains to the origination of the blaze. It was also pointed out that the mother and father were found in the spot which had been the kitchen and that the children were found over the ruins in different rooms, supposedly the bedrooms.

The essential fact is that the father and mother were the nearest to the or- Happiness kiz Perfect Of Utmoat Importance That She Hav Every Care.
