"The action Of the recent convention Of the F. N
B. A. Of illinois, indorSxig the Paddock Pun Food
Bill representing the ideas of so 900 practical far
mers will have great weight with the next Congress-
An immense meeting at St. Louis recently also
endorsed the Paddock Pure Food Bill. This shows
that the farmers are waking up.
There is no question but that the breadth and
scope Of the Paddock Bill. put it far ahead OF any
similar measure which Congress has ye: discussed.
and removes the Objectionable feature OF class leg.
islation. to which the Corger Lard Bill is open.
II makes no difference whether the Bill favorr
farmer or laborer, banker or manufacturer. II 1t
favored one class to the exclusion Of others. it
should not receive the appreciation Of the people.
Another thing which commends the Paddock Bill
to the farmer is the economy OF its working. In
stead Of army Of revenue officials which the
Conger Bill calls for. the inspection OF food is put
where it belongs. in the Agricultural Department.
There is q practical common sense ring TO all the
requirements OF the ELL which points to the fact
that it originated in the Farmers Allianc ;. OF
Nebraska, and not in a Boston millionair. lard
manufacturers office. such as Is said to have

ABOUT the only meat the Bolivian In
dian INDUCES in is chalona or dried
mutton, which is prepared in this way ::
When a sheep has been killed it is laid
out fat, frozen, soaked in water and
frozen again; after which it is hung up
and dried and is then SO hard and
tough that decay is impossible and no
vermin will molest it. To render cha
Iona edible it must be cut into small
bits and boiled very long time; and
in its best estate is about as tender and
JUICY as sole leather. Bolivian Indians
rarely eat fresh meat of any kind and
have no fondness for the picanter and
peppers so priced by the Spaniards and
Cholos. Their greatest delicacy in the
line of food is frozen Hema flesh; while
coca is considered the first essential of
life, and alcohol, or its equivalent, far
more necessary than water.

there wearing the garters now in

charge of the physical instruction Of

they wear their hosiery suspended by
side elastic attachments to an under
garment at the waist, OF bv none at all.
The old STYLE, she SAYS, whether worn
above or below the knee, hinders free

is injurious. She believes healthy,

The readers Of this paper will be pleased to
learn that there Is at least one dreaded dis
ease that science has been able to cure in all
its stages, and that is Catarrh. Halls Ca
iarrh Cure is the only positive cure now
known to the medical fraternity. Catarrh
being a constitutional disease, requires a
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly up
on the blood ard mucous surfaces ofthe sys-
TEN, thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and giving the patient strength
by building up the constitution and assisting
nature in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative powers
that they offer One Hundred Dollars for any
case that it fails to cure. Send for list of tes-
timonials.

tlemen and denounced as liar and per.
jurer when he was not present. A latter
from him defending himself was read,
and the charge was repeated that he was
q liar and purjurer, this time by Mr..
Bynum alone, who intimated that Mr..
Bayne, who read tho letter, was no bet
ter. Such language, il not uuparlia.
mentary,. was certainly not gentleman.
ly and violation OF the dignity and de-
corum OF tho House.
Iii significant fact that during the
remarkable acene that followed none oil
Mr.. Bynum's party friends who opposed
the resolution to censure him, went 80
fur 40 to justify his action on any other
ground than that somebody else's Ian.
guage was also unparliamentasy. This
was in effect a confession that Mr.. BY.
