Departments Left Without Funds.

Congress having failed to pass the legls-
lative, execptive and judicial appropriation
bill before the beginning of the fiscal year,
the executive departments viii open tomor--
row forenoon without funds for the payment
of any of their employees, under the provision
of the law which forbids any department to
expend money in excess of the appropria-
tions or to involve the government in any
contract for the future payment of money in
excess of the appropriations. 1t is ques-
tion also whether the heads of departments
have the right to accept the services of their
employees with any understanding that they
are to be compensated when the appropria-
tions shall be made However, under the
accepted legal theory, that in general Con-
gress there are no fractions of day. it is
held that no embarrassment will follow
the failure to pass the bill if the Senate, as
it probably will. tomorrow take up and
pass the emergency resolution passed by
the House today, extending the appropria-
tions of last year temporarily. In this event,
if the President approves the resolution, it
will bear the date of July 1st, and will cover
ihe services rendered during that day and
thereafter until its expiration.

Not a case of Cholera lntantum known where

The question often asked-how does MurdockS
LIQUID Food compare with other Foods and Ton
les? We refer to the State Inspector of Foods tur
Massachusetts in his annual report for 1886
Murdock's Liquid Food contains 14.10 per cent.
af albumen; all the other foods do not contain
apy Common food does not contain over one per
ssnt. that is available.
1t contains less organic matter than common
food and common food contains 1885; the other
preparations from go to 60.50 per cent.
1t contains 40 of ash, which is 1ndlgeStbe
