81 want to know" asked Repre-
sentative Sterr, of Philadelphia
who was in a very indignant frame
of mind, "if the gentleman, Mr.
Spatz, did not propose to the Ser
geant-at-Arms to charge up mileage
for two members of the committee
who could not attend the funeral
and then divide the sum with the
Sergeant-at-Arms ?'
Mr.. Spatz replied by saying that
when he had come TO the Legisla-
ture he was very green. He was
told that it was customary 10 charge
mileage and all sorts of expenses,
When the matter of mileage was
proposed under the circumstances
he told the Scrgeant-at-Arms to GO
ahead if it was all right. Now, that
he had seen the evil of his ways, he
wanted nothing that was not right
and proper.
Full discussion on the bill reveal
ed the fact that the expenses tor the
five members of the committee on
the trip down in Fulton County, a
distance of so miles, OF more, had
been about sl2O apiece. Reprcsen-
tative Lytle, in an attack upon the
bill found fault with the chargethat
had been made. He said that about
the only person who dio not charge
for his expenses in attending the
funeral was the man that had been
buried. If he could earn money at
that rate, as the committee had
done, he would be willing to lay
aside his toga and go into the bust
ness Of attending funerals as steady
job"

ONE OF TWO WAYS.

The bladder was created for one
purpose, namely, a receptacle for the
urine, and as such it is not liable to
any form of disease except by one of
two ways. The first way is from
imperfect action of the kidneys. The
second way is from careless local
treatment of other diseases.
CHIEF CAUSE.
Unhealthy urine from unhealthy
kidneys is the chief cause of bladder
troubles. So the womb, like the
bladder, was created for one purposes,
and If not doctored too much is not
liable to weakness or disease, except
in rare cases. 1t is situated back of
and very close to the blad der, there's
fore any pain, disease or inconveni-
ence manifested in the kidneys. back,
bladder or urinary passage is often, by
mistake, attributed to female weak
ness or womb trouble of some sort.
The error is easily made and may be
as easily avoided. To find out corr
rectly, set your urine asida for twenty
four hours, II sediment or settling
indicates kidney or bladder trouble.
The mild and the extraordinary effect
of DR. Kilmer'r Swamp-Root, the
great kidney, and bladder remedy is
soon realized. If you need a medicine
you should have the best. At drug
gists fifty cents and one dollar You
