DISTRICT IN CONGRESS
Farmers Market Bill Killed and Eek

ingtOn r.. r. Extension Reported.
The House District Committee yesterday
morning had an unusually long and lively
session, andt the ne Observation-Disclosures killing
of the Farmer S Market bill and the favorable
reporting Of the lexington and Belt Line
extension bill
The market bill was overwhelming gly de-
feated anG there is nothing now pending

gardeners but the Linton resolution direct
ing n inquiry into the order Of the Com
miSSiOner> Ior their removal from b street.
The lexington and Belt Line extension

well loaded down with amendments The
length OF time In which experiments may be
be made with compressed air as a motive

wonder that the digestion of both gets out
of order.
Nature works as hard as she can but
there are some things she cannot stand. If
a man gets some foreign substance into the
works of his watch, he doesn't expect the
watch to run until the impcdirnent is re-
moved. His own digestive system Is
much more wonderful and delicate mechan-
ism than that of his watch, and yet he neg
lects il and abuses it. He lets it get out of
order, and refuses to help it. In the end
his neglect reacts with terrible force upon
himself. The reaction comes on gradually,
however, so that sometimes he scarcely sus-
poets the cause.
The cause of nine-tenths Of the sickness
of the world is constipation condition
so common that four people out of five take
it as a matter of course. From this one
cause come indigestion disorders of the
stomach, liver and kidneys biliousness,
headaches, hatulence, heartburn, impurity
of the blood and tho serious complications
that follow. To begin with, constipation is
little thing. and little thing will cure it.
DR.. Pierce's Pleasant Pellets are tiny, sugar.
coated granules. They give to nature just
the little help she needs. They are as
gentle as they are efficient, and will per.
fectly cure the worst cases of constipation.
There is nothing in the world like them, so
there can be nothing "just as good" The
druggist who tries to sell you something
else has his own interest in view and not
yours.
