NJ K|NLEY HAS
A DAY OF REST
Free From Politicians
For a Time.
Special Dispatch to The Call

THOMASVILLE, Ca, March TX
President Mckinley rested TODAY. He
enjoyed the first complete DAYS relay
alton from the cares of office or tho
fatigues of travel that he has had in
many months. No politicians came to
see him. The residents of ThomasviI1e
respected his wish that he should be
free from callers or functions. and tho
1ew things of a personal nature which
1t was necessary for him to attend to
were dispatched through Assistant Sec
retary Cortelyou. All details of the
Governments business are being ar
tended to in Washington, and only
matters of policy that possibly NAV de-
velop will be laid before the President
here.
The opinion of the people of Thomas
vile is that Mr.. Mckinley is in actual
need of the rest he is beginning to +al.e
They remember him as he was four
years ago when in Thomasviue prior
to his nomination. They do not think
he looks sick, but all those who saw
much OF him then say his appearance
does not evidence the buoyant. alert
vigorous strength of that time. He
looks tired and tagged.
This morning Senator Hanna took
his guests on a carriage drive about
five miles from town to the country
home of Wyman Jones, the Senator's 8
brother-in-law. The weather was mild
a good breeze was stirring through the
pines and the gathering clouds that in
the afternoon resulted in a shower of
rain shielded the party from the sun.
The President enjoyed the drive and
his brightness on his return showed it
had done him good. The party was
home for lunch. and soon afterward
the President went to bed for the af
ternoon. After dinner Senator Hanna
and his guests chatted awhile and the
President retired early

STANDARD OIL IN
ENGLISH POLITICS
Petroleum Bill Beaten
in Parliament.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

LONDON, March 15.-In the House of
Commons to-day Harold James Reck-
lit, Liberal member for the Brigg di-
vision of Lincolnshire, moved the sec
ond reading of the bill raising the fash
point of petroleum from 73 to 100. In so
doing he said that it would not add ap-
preciably to the cost, as many firms
had offered to supply oil at 100 fash
point at only half cent per gallon
more than the present price.
Joseph Tullie, Irish Nationalist.
member for the South Division Of Lei
trim, called the imported American oil
murder OIL" and Alexander Use Glib
eraD, member of the Lothian Division
of Lintithgowshire, ridiculed the evil
dence of Mr.. Babcock, the Standard Oil
Companys director. before the Petro-
vertisement of the Standard OIL Com
pany as bearing out the contentious of
the supporters of the bill.
The Parliamentary Secretary of the
Home Office, Mr.. Ceilings, said the
Government was preparing bin which
il was hoped would settle the question
and carry out the recommendations of
the petroleum committee with the ex-
ception of raising the flash point to 100
which recommendation was adopted by
the committee by only bare majority.
Mr.. Ceilings disputed the assertion that
Great Britain was made the dumping
ground for oil which could not be used
in America. Continuing Mr.. Ceilings
read Foreign Office reports showing
that in many States there was no law
on the subject, while in others the
flash point was the same or lower than
in Great Britain. He then said:
''All the petroleum we are speaking of
is safe with ordinary care, and none
of il is safe without care. / question
whether accidents are due to the low
flash point But it would be ruinous to
dislocate the trade TO the extent of rs
per cent, and I am convinced that the
bill if passed will sacrifice the best in
terests of the working people and tax
them, not for the benefit of the coun-
try. but for the benefit of q CLIQUE
which is desirous of creating a monop-
oily and increasing the price of OIL"
The bill was rejected by vote of 244
to 159.

lentIy against the rejection of Mr.

ADVERTISEMENTS.

If life were one long summer day and its
Journey through garden of flowers, 1t
might be possible for people to be careless
of their health without fearing evil results.
Unfortunately, since Adam and Eve were
driven from the Garden of Eden, life has
not been toilless journey through garden
of flowers Man must earn bread by the
sweat of his brow, and woman must bring
forth children in pain and suffering.
In both cases the curse Is multiplied
many times over because both men and
women neglect their health. Mans toll IS
rendered a thousand times harder by the
added burden of ill-health. The woman IS
a still greater sufferer. She suffers in 81
lence untold agonies from weakness and
disease in a woman1y way. Motherhood
becomes to her a menace of death, and her
babes are born with the seeds of disease
already implanted in their little bodies.
There is but one unfai1ing remedy for wom-
en- who suffer in this way. tits DR.. Pierce's
