IS II The ENDP
A Time Of Great Mortality.

Especially Noticeable in Children. - VIII
Man Cease to Exist? - Can tho
"Omega" be Averted?
Why Is 1t, with our improved sanitary
appliances, our care TO obtain fresh air,
pure food, and plenty of exercise, the OBJ
servance, in fact, of every hygicnic law,
that In spite OF every care each succeed
ing generation seems to become weaker
and shorter lived? Is it that we are now
suffering for indiscretions of our ances-
tors, or is that terrible, unknown end of
man at hand?
Whatever the cause, the existing con-
dition OF things is too apparent. Especi.
ally Is this noticeable with the babies.
Instead of the mothers life-giving milk,
they are compelled to begin a struggle for
existence with the bottle. The result in
many cases is disastrous. The little one,
failing to obtain necessary nourishment,
grows weaker daily, until death ends the
struggle. The end in these cases is
Simply Starvation.
With this termination so often the case,
the best physicians of the day have re-
sorted to the use Of BOyinine, that great
and original raw food product, as a means
to save the babies
In this connection DIR. A. b. Robinson,
6l Dudley St., Boston, after commenting
Bovinine most highly for various compli-
cations where the waste of disease must
be checked, and new blood, flesh, and
strength created to effect cure. says
concerning this life-creating preparation,
~ yNttl, fnahl. hot g.. 4,
amount added to the milk has in my
practice saved many children"
Bovinine is not medicine, but a
life-maintaining, flesh, bone, and blood,
making preparation that contains the
greatest amount of nourishment in the
least possible bulk.
Give 1t to the little ones while there is
still hope. Your physician, if you ask
him, will recommend it, and you will
bless the results obtained forever.

appropriation Bills All in Favor
able Condition for Early Passage.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-With but four
weeks of the session Of congress re-
naming from noon today, glance at
the condition of the regular annual ap-
preparation bills is interesting. A COM
parlson with that at the same time in
the short session OF the Fifty second
congress is much more favorable to the
present congress, and justifies the be-
lief that unless unforeseen difficulties
arise, all the bills will have been pre-
scented to the president for his approval
before II o'clock on March 4. A dit
ficulty that has been suggested to the
successful consummation of such pro
gram is the possible tackiug on to one
Of the bills of a provision embodying
some financial legislation in the failure
Of action upon separate measure.
This action might delay the bill so that
it would not reach the president in time.
All the appropriation bills have been
completed by the house committees hav-
ing them In charge except the general
deficiency bill, the preparation of which
is always deferred so as to include, if
desirable, all the estimates that may be
submitted to congress by the executive
departments of the government up to
the latest date it is safe to wait. The
legislative bill, though prepared, has not
yet been formally passed upon by the
appropriation committee. but this will
to be done today and the measure will be
reported. The military academy is the
only one of the regular annual appro-
prlation bills that has received the exec
utive's approval. but the conference
report on the army bill has been agreed
to by both branches Of congress and will
soon be seut to the president. The
Notifications and pension bills are in
the hands of conference committees.
The diplomatic bill and the District of

WincheIi Says the Altamonte
Canal scheme is Not Feasible.
Special to the Globe.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.-The house
judiciary committee was today flooded
with copies of a circular letter from
State Geologist Winchell i'll which he
pronounces the Altamonte canal scheme
not feasible. He figures that at the
most the number of horse power that
might be developed. after the loss by
transmission is deducted. will be less
than 10000. The letter was procured
by c. n. Nelson, one OF the opponents
OF the measure. Coming. as it does,
from the state geologist, it Will have
great weight. A few months ago Prof.
Wincheli robbed Duluth OF an assay
office by letter declaring that there
was no demand for it. The director OF
the mint was ready to make the recon-
mendation, but could not after this adj
verse report. Prof. Winchell is becom-
ing known as a very successful lobbyist
in congressional circles.

NEGROES HAVE RIGHTS.
Kentucky Jury Decides Against
the Separate Coach Law.


LOUISVILLE, KY. Feb. A special
to the Courier-Journal from Greensboro,
KY. says: Under peremptory instruc-
lions from Judge Barr today the jury in
the federal court found a verdict for one
cent and costs against the Louisville IL
Nashville Railroad company in the
separate coach case. The suit was
brought by Rev. w. II. Anderson, col
ored, Of Evansville, Ind, for $4,000.
but was really to test the separate coach
law of Kentucky. Judge Barr decided
last summer that the law was unconsti-
tutional because it affected interstate
commerce. The railroad company then
contended that it had a Iule requiring
separation Of white and colored pas
sengers aside from this law, and as
serted that the rule was reasonable
one. Upon this the issue was joined
and the verdict rendered.
Judge Bars Instructions left the
jury only to determine the amount of
damages. The jury at first disagreed,
nine standing for cent, one for 81, 500.
one for $1,000 and one for $500.
Immediately upon filing of the ver-
dict the attorneys for the railroad COM
pany gave notice OF an appeal to the SUI
preme court of the United States. A
writ of error will be prepared at once
Oh the judges instruction and also on
the ruling declaring the Kentucky law
unconstitutional. Attorneys Browder
and Miller, who have charge of the case,
express confidence in the reversal OF
Judge Barr by the supreme court.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 4. - An attempt

for stores and supplies cOnfiScated from
loyal people in the South during the
much opposition, and especially from
Pennsylvania members interested in
Pennsylvania war claims amounting to

measure was defeated, 95 to 14S. A rule
was then adopted for the consideration
