How a Little Boy Was Saved.

Washington, D. c." When our
boy was about 16 months old he broke
out with a rash which was thought to
be measles. In few days he had a
swelling on the left side of his neck
and it was decided to be mumps. He
was given medical attendance for
about three weeks when the doctor
said it was scrofula and ordered a
salve. lie wanted TO lance the sore,
but l would not let him and continued
giving him medicine for about four
months when the bunch broke in two
places and became a running sore.
Three doctors said il was scrofula and
each ordered a blood medicine. A
neighbor told me of a case somewhat
like our baby's which was cured by
Hoods Sarsaparilla. l decided TO
give it to my boy and in short while
his health improved and his neck
healed so nicely that stopped giving
him the medicine. The sore broke
out again, however, whereupon again

Farmers have long understood and
appreciated the fact that snow is a
great fertilizer, but just why this is so
they have probably been unable to
say. Science has demonstrated that
snow in falling serves a double pur-
pose. The soft, damp fakes cleanse
the atmosphere of a very large amount
of impurities, carrying them to the
earth. The amount of solid matter car
ried down in an ordinary snowstorm
and the cleanliness of the atmosphere
afterwards are best appreciated by
chemical analysis of the snow melted
into water and examined. Small par
ticles of SCOT, free ammonia and solid
matter are all taken from the atmos-
phere and precipitated upon the earth.

HOUSE TARIFF STANDS
So Decided Republican Caucus Conn
mlttee On Porto Rico Bill.

The Republican caucus committee
of the senate at meeting Friday au-
thorized Senator Foraker, in definite
terms, to propose the separation ofthe
tariff feature from the Porto Rican
governmental bill and to attempt to
pass the house tariff bill without
amendment. The program is to vote
down all amendments if possible to do
so, and pass the bill as it is came from
the house without any changes what
ever.
The committee went over the situa-
ton in detail concerning all the points
at issue. There were suggestions as
to the necessity of amending the bill
so as to suit the demands of the Re-
publican free trade element, but these
were considered IS more than Offset by
the situation in the house and neces-
sity of maintaining the party tariff
principle.
There was, however, a disposition
manifested to placate the free traders
by making various amendments to the
governmental bill. The tariff advo-
Gates have gone so far as to draft
amendments to that measure which
are intended both to correct admins
tratiye defects in the house bill and
also to meet many of the objections to
the house tariff measure.
One of these amendments looks to
the enlargement of the free trade list
80 as to include most of the articles OF
export in which the constituents OF the
free trade senators are Interested.
There is also one looking to the re-
moval of the duty on articles from the
United States going to Porto Rico.
