TOM WATsoN's PASSING.
There May be Some Slight Differences in
the Committee on Unessential
Matters

the C0mmlttee on UneSSentlAl
Matters.
Washington. Feb. 10.-There is possi-
bility that two reports may be made TO
the House on the Watson Black election
contest from Georgia, when the question
of the right to the seat comes before the
House. Mr.. Bartlett (Dem., Georgia. is
preparing the majority report which was
agreed upon at the last meeting of the
Elections committee which, declares that
Mr. Black is entitled to the seat; con-
clusion which was reached by the com
mittee unanimously. This report will be
submitted to the other members of the
committee before it as presented to the
House. 1T is possible that some of the
Republican members may not endorse the
view of the special election and the
methods incidental thereto which have
led to the contest. If this should be the
case there may be another report, which,
while declaring that Black is entitled TO
the seat, takes exception to certain parts
of Mr. Bartlett's views. The case may
be brought before the House this week.

TONSILITIS!!

For a long time my son was troubled
with scme bronchial trouble, which,
every time he took cold, settled in his
throat and produced something like
tonsilitis. The tonsils would enlarge
and swell so that he had great trouble
to swallow anything, and could take no
solid food. Last spring he took half
dozen bottles of Mrs. Joe Persons Rem
edy, and gargled his throat with the
