on the proposed widening of Central avenue.

SPRING SUGGESTIONS.

Avoid draughts and sudden changes of
temperature.
Do not discard your warm winter clothing
too soon. 1t is better to suffer little incon-
venience than to take cold.
Remember that one is especially liable to
contract bad cold or chilli at this season of
the year.
A cough or cold contracted between the
seasons is the most annoying kind, and may
last through the summer.
If you feel a cough or cold coming on,
take drink OF pure whiskey at once. 1t will
keep the blood in circulation and is The best
preventive against the diseases of the season.
Remember that only PURE whskey should
be taken. Duffy's Pure Malt Whiskey has the
strongest recommendations from the leading
scientists and medical men, 1t is the only
standard medicinal whiskey Take no othel

MI. George gave notice that he
woulu tomorrow insist that the senate
nave Doth the facts and the law before
~ ana ought to proceed at once to seat
Eali, the legally elected senator from
Inc state OF Florida. Both the cre-
uentlals were then placed on file. The
credentials of Brice, the senator
elect from Ohio, having been pre-
said: '''''A
before oath of office is admins
tered to Brice, desire to say that n
large portion of the citizens of Ohio
contend that he was not an inhabitant
OF the state at the time of his election,

cedents (of which there are several in

fled that Brice is entitled to be sworn
Ill on the prima facia case of the Gre
dentials which are regular in form,
ana simply give this notice. how
ever, SO that his swearing in may not
be considered any waiver.n
The swearing in of the new senators
was then proceeded with. They
were sworn in in groups, in the first
group being Brice, escorted by Kenna.
In the next group were Chiffon of
Texas, Dubois of Idaho, FELTON, of Cal
ifornia, and Gallinger of New Hamp-
shire. Hoar said that as to Chiffon
there was a question as to whether the
governor of Texas had the power to
appoint before the vacancy had actu-
ally occurred. He would make no
objection to the oath being admins
tered to Chiffon now, but should after
wards move to refer the case to the
committee on privileges and elections.
On motion of Hale, Dubois creden-
tails were held over. The name of
Hill, senator elect from New York,
was not printed on the list of senators
nor were his credentials presented.
But four members of the senate were
not in their seats, those being Jones
Of Arkansas, Jones of Nevada, Stan
ford of California, and Vance of North
Carolina. Hoar submitted a motion
that Call be admitted to take the oath
as the senator from the state of Flor

motion, but would LIT it go over until
tomorrow. Cullum made q like mo.

agreed to, and Sherman and Harris
were appointed.
Hoar moved that the committee or

inquire into ard report upon the Cir
cumstances and validity of the ap

to fixing noon as the daily hour o

A FARMER RELEASED,
FROM ENTIRE LOSS OF VOICE
Catarrhal Aphonio the Result of Chronic
Catarrh.

ohELLSbU kG, BeuIOru Co., Ia.

head and throat. | doctored with
one of the best physicians in our place

Loss of voice in cases of catarrh is due
to an extension of the disease to the
larynX. In the progress of catarrh on
its way from the throat to tho lungs
the first prominent symptom is
hoarseness, which shows that the dis
ease has reached the larynx and vocal
chords.
Symptoms Of catarrh of the respira-
tory tract differ according to the part
affected, If the catarrh is confined to
the nose the symptoms will be sneez-
ing and mucous discharges, or the for
nation of dry scabs corresponding TO
the stage of the disease. When in
the pharynx it caused hawking, en-
larged follicles and tonsils, and
sometimes deafness; in the
larynx it produces hoarseness,
and often entire loss of
voice, as in the above case. AS soon
as the catarrh reaches the trachea
and bronchial tubes, cough, with
abundant mucous eXpectoration, en-
sues. Upon reaching the lungs ca
tarrh speedily causes consumption
and all of the symptoms of that dread
disease follow sooner OF later. Ca
tarrh also attacks the urinary tract,
producing in the kidneys "Bright's
disease" in the bladder chronic cys-
tits, and in the uretha small, frequent
and painful urinary passages. Peru
ma is specific for catarl h wherever
located and in all stages.
