Aged Woman Rides a Bicycle

Probably the oldest living bicyclst is
woman in County Essex, England, aged 90,
who is an adept rider and whose spright-
illness is astonishing. Most people could
enjoy health until very old age if they took
proper precautions to prevent diseases of
the digestive organs by taking an occa-
sional dose of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters.
Even after dyspepsia, indigestion. bilious
ness and constipation have secured a foot
hold and become chronic, the Bitters will
afford speedy relief.

There is close analogy between the
effects of the Mauser bullet and the
grip. The Mauser bullet makes an APP
parently insignificant wound. The hole
Of exit and entrance is very small. The
terrible velocity of the bullet produces
shock rather than pain.
But the after-effects Of such wound
are very serious. The rapid rotary mo-
ton of this slim, small Mauser bullet
destroys large areas of tissue on every
side of its passage. If the victim lives
through it at all it will take many
months TO recover completely.
Exactly like this is the history of Ia
grippe. Its onset is sudden, unexpected,
but many times seemingly TRIVIAL. 1t
produces symptoms Something like a
cold; little more aching of the bones
and muscles, perhaps, than cold, but
generally it does not produce any great
concern. The whole matter often seems
insignificant. But this is right where
SO many people commit serious blum
der.
Even slight attack of Is grippe sows
the seeds of discord and degeneration all
through the system. Recovery seems
impossible. The strength does not re-
turn. The whole system seems de-
ranged. Every function is disturbed.
Appetite and digestion demoralized.
Creeping rigors, hot flashes, cold sweats
and f1tful sleep linger 10 make life al
most unbearable.
1t is this condition that DR.. Hartman
calls systemic catarrh. The whole sys-
tenn is saturated with catarrh. This dis
covery marked an important advance in
the history of medical science. The
medical profession had lonabeen crop
ing to discover the meaning of the stub
born and distressing after-effects of Ia

The Senate After a Memorable
Contest
THE VOTE WAS IS TO -
Germans Amendment Was Accepted
With Slight Notifications
Vest Makes a Speech

Washington, Feb. 27.-After a contest
that will be memorable in the history Of
the senate, the compromise army reor-
ganization bill was passed this evening
at 7:10. When the senate convened at II
o'clock this morning it seemed more than
likely that the bill might be passed dur
ing the day.
Mr.. German insisted that his amend
ment providing the army should not be
increased permanently or beyond July
l, 1901, be incorporated in the measure.
For several hours it appeared probable
that his insistance at least would throw
the bill over until tomorrow and per-
haps defeat it. An agreement was
reached, however, and Mr.. Gorman's
amendment, in a slightly modified form,
was accepted.
The notable speech Of the day against
the measure was delivered by Mr.. Vest,
but his brilliant %eloquence awaited
nothing against the measure as finally
agreed upon. Tonight the senate took
up the sundry civil bill and completed
It's reading, all the committee amend
ments being agreed to except those re-
lating to the District of Columbia. The
bill was then laid aside to be completed
tomorrow.

ed to visit our establishment. When they
came found the elder woman high-bred
and highly cultured, but rather plain in
appearance; the daughter was a charm
ing, bright young woman of eighteen.
The inspector, asked that these women
might be allowed to accompany him to
see the native school-a request, of course,
instantly and gladly granted. l INTRODUCE

Arab girls. Every pupil over nine years
