How few persons realize how many
lives are lost daily from want OF nutri-
t10n such as diseased organs need to re-
store them to healthy condition. This
we confirm by the fact that only LIZ
per cent. OF all deaths come from old
age (see Massachusetts, Reports), and the
large per cent. remaining comes chiefly
from lack OF nutrition.
In Massachusetts, the average number
OF deaths from
Consumption and Pneumonia, One for
every IS minutes.
Heart Troubles, Nine daily.
ChlOrea lafantum, Six daily.
Diphtheria, Five daily.
ApOplexy, Bronchitis. Cancer, each Four
daily.
Kidney Troubles, Paralysis. each sFOur
daily.
Murdock's Liquid Food mas restored
more Consumptiyes to health than any

President Harrison has replied to the
letter of the Cambridge Civil Service Reform
Association asking that the Indian service
be placed under civil service reform rules.
As regards the suggestions that the recent
Sioux outbreak was partly the result of the
Generalization of the Indian service the
President says that thorough inquiry has
convinced him that that service is now in
better condition than every before. AS re-
CARDS the placing Of the service under the

matter had been for some time under con.

WAsHFSsTos CTrY, Feb. 15.-The energy
displayed by congress during the past
week ID action upon the general appropri-
alton bills has had the result Of placing
the measures in a state Of forwardness
that compares favorabIy with the record Of
the preceding congress in the short ses-
sion.
The copyright bill IS unfinished business
before the Senate. Hale has stated hi. in
tenfion TO cali up the diplomatic appro-
pr'aiion bill tomorrow, but as the friends
Of the copyright bill are confident that the
measure is in such shape that il cannot
consume much more time, il will probably
be brought TO a final vote before the diplo-
matte bill is taken up.
The Republican caucus list of measures
selected tor consideration in intervals be-
tween the discussion of the appropriation
Dill, is az follows. Indian depreciation
bIH, Nicaragua canal bill, pure food and
Conger lard bills. army reorganization
bill, interstate commerce bill. land cour;
bill, bankruptcy bill. revenue marine bill.
Pacinc railroad funding bill. How far in
this programme the Senate may proceed
viii depend On the amount Of time occu-
pied by the appropriation bill.
In the House il Is confidently expected
that by the end Of the week the general de-
hciency bill will be the only one Of the
regular annual bills unacted on 1t is the
intention to finish consideration Of the
Indian bills tomorrow, and il will be ar
ranged that the postofice and agricultural
appropriation bills shall follow in the
order named. The shipping bill, which
for about two weeks has remained pending
as unfinished business, viii then be again
brought up
The silver question still remains the
most absorbing topic Of discussion among
the members Of the House, and there Is
constant fear on the part Of conservative
members that il may at some unexpected
time be sprung on the House in unlocked
for shape. The silver men are confident
the bill viii be reported 70 the House be-
fore the end Of the week, and the Repub-
lican caucus which has been called for to-
morrow may have some influence on the
course to be pursued in regard to this
measure by the majority.
