WHERE THE REAL CREDIT BELONGS

Great credit has been given the allied
generals in China for prompt action in
saving the Americans at Pekin, but the
credit of saving thousands of American
citizens dragged down in health 10
deaths door by the long trying months
of the hot weather belongs to the prompt
action of Dandenon Bitters. The quick
est acting and most satisfactory gen.
eral system tonic ever made.
Indigestion. liver and kidney troubles,
low malarial fevers, dizziness, fainting
spells, melancholy. poor appetite, sleep
lessness, all indicate a dangerous condi-
ton of the system, which requires an
immediate toning up to prevent some Of
the contagious diseases. Dandeiion Bit
tiers dieests your food, and is the best
tonic known. Especially recommended
for all female troubles and for mothers
worn out with the care of nursing baby
1t makes sick people well Try 1t now and
be convinced. ]. P. Allen, Dockum &
Higginson, George Van Werden.

Mr.. James Allison gave lecture last
night at the First NJ. E. church on
"Glimpses of our Travels" for the oene-
fit OF the Children's Home. The attend
ance was very good and the lecture
very interesting one. Mr.. Allison, be-
cause OF the fact that he has just re-
turned from Europe. was enabled to pre-
sent many things Of interest to the au-
dience.
Some of his remarks on the manner Of
living OF the nations OF Europe were very
interesting and yet at the same time
gave a better idea Of the advancement
of our own nation.

Election In Canada.

Although the complete returns of the
dominion general elections are not yet
available at this writing, enough is
known to make it perfectly clear that
the liberal party under Sir Wilfrid
Laurier, which was returned in 1896
for the first time in Is years, has again
secured a splendid majority which will
probably reach so in house of 213
members. Ontario has given the con-
servatives majority but every one of
the other eight provinces give liberal
majorities All of Laurier's liberal
colleagues in the cabinet are elected,
whilst five members of the late conser>
vative cabinet, including the leader,
Sir Charles Upper, are among the de-
feated.

McKinley.s Trip to the white House

President McKinley's trip from Can
ton toward the national capitol on the
nth was one continuous ovation to the
twice-elected head of the nation. AT
every stop there were great outpour-
ings of the people, business was sus-
pended and many factories along the
line added their thousands of workers
men and women-to those who joined
in enthusiastic greetings. The Presi-
dent appeared at each stop, shaking
hands from the rear platform and
making short speeches at the more inn
portant towns. Mrs Mckinley re-
ceived her share of the popular tribute,
men and women struggling to present
her with flowers.

where authorized the use of assess

which claimed authority under section

In the preface to the bulletin of the
American congress of tuberculosis, DIR.
II. Il. Baker is quoted as saying that
in 1893 the state board of health
adopted resolution requiring that
consumption and other diseases due to
the bacillus tuberculosis be included
in the list Of diseases which the law
requires physicians and householders
to report % the local health officer.
The requirement has not been fully
complied with throughout the entire
state, tlut 49, 20 COD eileNe
tissst lily in consequence o-.s.his ac-
ton, the death rate from the disease
in Michigan has been reduced by rather
more than one-tenth, and that the
sickness from the disease has been de-
creased by larger proportion. DIR.
Baker has declared that if the reduc-
ton in the mortality from consump-
ton continues to diminish at the same
rate as under the present imperfect
operation of the law, the mortality
from that disease will almost entirely
disappear within the next so years.
