The Quaker Doctors will close
their present stay in the city of
Lewistown on next Saturday eve
ming and will leave on Monday for
Fort Benton. The manager made a
compromise with the city dads
which enabled them to move dow n
on Little's corner where they have
been entertaining large crowds each
evening. This organization has
transacted considerable business
during their stay, but their prepare
tons certainly must possess merit
or they could not stay so long and
transact the business they do.

There is a growing belief
among prominent members of
Congress that the President
will call Congress to meet in
extraordinary session this fall,
probably early in October.
The questions which will come
before the next Congress for
settlement include the DISPOSE
ton of the islands acquired in
the war with Spain, currency
reform legislation, the Mica
ragua canal and the merchant
marine. They are of such
great Importance that the
President is inclined to re-
gard it as advisable that Con-
gress should meet earlier than
the regular session in Decem-
Der in order to get the work
under way.

Eang IN Won Tells of the Needs of the
Chinese Empire.
Vancouver. B. c., April 14.-Kang
Yu Won, the fugitive Chinese states
man. has arrived here from Victoria,
accompanied by a retinue Of Chinese
and japanese sympathizers. From
here Kang will proceed to London,
which place he expects to make his
home until at least part of the re-
forms advocated by himself have been
brought to pass in China. He said 1T
Is only matter OF time before China
will have to put into operation these
reforms which say she needs, or else
internal discussions or possibly for
eign aggression will result in the dis
memberment of the empire"
The reforms which Kang is anxious
to establish for his native country
are Representative party govern
ment. q system of national banks
state ownership of mines and railroads
free education, both elementary and
advanced, and including the establish
ment OF the technical schools and gov
eminent seminaries for military and
naval training. He also thinks that
the silver basis of the Chinese none
tary system has been the means of i'm
poverishing the empire to the advant-
age of countries that trade there, sell
ing for gold and buying for silver.

The doctors inform us that alum is
a poison, and that alum baking pow
ders should be avoided because they
make the food unwholesome. Promi-
nent hygienists, who have given the
matter most study, regard these pow
ders as an evil that should be sup
pressed by State action. In Minnesota
and Wisconsin alum powders are not
permitted to be sold unless they are
branded to warn consumers of their
true character, while in the District OF
Columbia the authorities have under
the direction of Congress adopted reg
ulations to prohibit the use of alum in
bread altogether.
Are not the people of other States
as we'll as those of Minnesota and Wis
consin, entitled to warning of danger
which is apparently menacing them al
close hand, and is not the whole coun,
try entitled to absolute protection, as
the people of District of Columbia are
prooecteds by legislation which is en-
tirely prohibitive?
Until we can have protection in the
form of a statute, how can our State
boards of health. State analysis or food
commissions better serve the public
than by publishing in the newspapers
from time to time the names of the
baking powders which they find to be
made from alum?
Meantime, it will aid the housewife
| in designating the alum powders to re-
member that all powders sold at 2s
cents or less per pound are of this dan.
gerous class. Pure cream of tartar
to so cents pound.

HOW is YOUR TONGUE?
Why the Doctor Examines 1t When
You Consult Him.

One of the first things a physician
son, is to ask to see the tongue. He
does this to-day, perhaps, more through
following the tradition of the past
than because he expects to learn a
great deal by such an inspection. For
merly the means of arriving at dag
nosis were fewer and less precise than
they now are, and the aspect OF the
tongue was held to be of great import
ance. Now we have learned that the
tongue is changed in appearance by
many trivial causes, and can be relied
upon only in a limited sense Never
theless, there are some valuable indi-
cations which such an inspection fur
nishes.
The tongue is always rendered less
moist than usual by fevers or infam-
nations. This dryness may amount
merely to little sickness of the sur
face, or there may be total absence
of moisture, the tongue being dry as
parchment, cracked, and dark in color.
A furred tongue almost always indi-
Gates that something is wrong with the
digestion, although smokers often have
a thin coating, even when they have no
stomach trouble, and in the inflamma-
tory diseases of the stomach there is
little or no fur on the tongue
A broad, fattened tongue, showing
indentations at the sides from the pres
sure of the teeth and a thick fur OF
whitish or brownish color. points to
simple indigestion and loss Of tone in
the stomach. 1t calls for laxative, a
very plain diet for few days, chiefly
of milk and lime water of Vichy, and
