A QUORUM OF CONGRESS.
Much Business Transacted Without
One-PriyiIeges of Members.

The concluding article of This Coun-
try Of Ours series by ex-President
Harrison appears in the Ladies Home
Journal" 1t completes THE Senate
and House of Representatives article.
In it General Harrison gives this inter
esting view of the workings Of Con-
gress: "A majority of each House,
under the Constitution, constitutes a
quorum for the transaction of business.
If a quorum is not present, and that
fact is disclosed by yea and nay vote,
business must stop until quorum is
secured. But the members present
are empowered by the Constitution to
adjourn from day to day and to cont
pei the attendance of absent members,
in such manner, and under such penal
ties as each house may provide. A
great deal of business is done in both the
Senate and House when quorum. is
not present, the absence of quorum
not being officially disclosed by a roll
call. The Sergeant-at-Arms is not an
infrequent attendant at social reCep-
tions and dinners, but always all un-
the attendance of truant Senators or
iiiCiiiooi9 upoh eiieh respective hoUSe@'
One-ffth of the members present may
demand vote by yeas and nays. and
the vote must be recorded in the jour
nal which each house is required to
keep of it's proceedings. This journal
does not include the debates, which
are, however published in full in the
Congressional Record
The Senators and members are priv
ileged from arrest, except for treason,
felony or breach of the peace, while III

houses. and while going to and return

member may be punished by the house
to which he belongs for disorderly be-
havior, and by two-thirds vote of the
House may be expelled"

Mrs. Josephine Polhill, of Due West,
S. c., was for years a sufferer from
this distressing complaint, and has
learned by experience its tortures.
She says:
For years was the victim of the
worst case of catarrh that I ever
heard Of I was treated by several
doctors, and took numerous medicines
claiming to cure the disease, but in
stead of being benefited my condi-
ton grew worse steadily.
The trouble became so deep-seated
that l was entirely deaf in one ear.
1t is difficult to describe my condition,
but some idea of the ravages of the
disease can be obtained when state
that all the inside of my nose, inc1ud-
ing part of the bone slougned off. It
can be readily understood how often
sive all this was, and how unbearable
my condition became When the
disease had gone this far the physi-
clan gave me up as incurable, and
told me / would never be any better.
Reading of many similar cases be-
ing cured by S. S. S., determined to
try it as last resort. soon discov-
cred that all my former treatment
had been wrong, as the disease was in
the blood, and only blood remedy
could cure 1t. / began to improve at
once, and grew better as continued
to take S. S. S. 1t seemed to get at
the seat of the disease, and after a
few weeks treatment l was entirely
cured, and for more than seven years
have had no sign of the disease"
Catarrh is one of the deep-seated
blood diseases, and only thorough
blood remedy will have any effect
upon it. S. S. S. is the only blood
remedy that is guaranteed

Deaf
From Catarrh.

The sufferer from catarrh, perhaps,
meets with more encouragement in
seeking a cure than those afflicted
with all other ailments. After ex-
hausting the skill of the best physi-
clans, and inhaling various mixtures,
paying out large sums for doctors
fees and medicines, he finds himself
either as bad off as at first or great
deal worse.
The cause of this is easily explained.
The disease is in the blood, and only a
real blood remedy can possibly have
any effect upon it. The doctors being
unable, with their stereotyped reme-
dies of potash and mercury, to cure
diseases of the blood, direct their
efforts toward treating the symp-
toms of the disease, and ignoring its
cause. The inhaling of various sprays,
and use of washes, ETC., is but SUI
perhcial and temporary treatment,
and cannot possibly effect cure.

wheel was deposited by the door. With
a sudden flood of energy and rage the
lover gave it kick, which made grace
full curves in its slender spokes. Then
he sank into chair and was asleep
Ten minutes later Eleanor arrived. She
shook her head over the bent wheel,
found its victim unconscious, smooth
ed lovingly yesterdays scar on fore
head, and, with frightened glance
around, put upon it's zig-zag line her
first kiss
The lover smiled. He was dreaming
that he was borne to the altar on a
wonderful electric bicycle, to be united
for aye to a white-robed Eleanor.
