A LIFE SAVED.
E. Druggists Timely and Straight
Forward Advice Saves the Life
of Prominent Citizen.

Chicago, Ill, Dec. 10, 1900 (SpeciaD.
Among the Catholic Foresters in this
city, none is better known or more uni
versally esteemed than Mr.. S. P. Rush,
Conductor (President) of Holy Name
Court, Number &c.
His many friends, inside the Order
and outside Of it's ranks, were, there
fore, much startled to learn that his
life was in danger, he having Bright's
Disease, that most terrible and fatal
disease.
Mr.. Rush, however, made a grand
struggle for his life, taking prescrip-
tons, and pills, and powders, until his
stomach refused food. AT last. his
local druggist, guided by the numer-
Gus inquiries being made at his store
for Dodd's Kidney Pills, advised Mr..
Rush to buy and try some. This he
did, and to his delight he was restored
TO health and strength.
Mr.. Rush says that after commence
ing the use of Dodd's Kidney Pills, he
felt much better, but it took two
months to effect cure.
II took nothing else but Dodd's
Kidney Pills during that time, so
know that I owe life and health to
them
What this wonderful remedy has
done for Mr.. Rush, it will certainly do
for anyone. 1t is the only remedy that
has never failed to cure Bright's Dis
ease.
Mr.. Rush is just now receiving the
congra tula tons Of his friends, but
always finds time to say a good word
for the Medicine that saved his life.

UNDER FIRE.
Lord Chamberlain Is Attacked in
House of Commensurate Tar
get for Abuse.

London. Dec. 1.-THE fifteenth parlia-
ment of the reign of Queen Victoria
opened Thursday. Before the lights
went out in the ancient chambers al
most every leading politician had
spoken. Such fierce, personal animos-
ity and such bitter invective had scarce
ly ever before marked the proceedings
at Westminster. Mr.. Joseph Chamber
lain, secretary of state for the colonies,
was the center of the storm. The pol
icy of the empire regarding South At
RIGA and China, the action of the gov
eminent in causing a dissolution when
it did, the conduct of the war against
the Beers. and, in fact, all the ques-
tons vitality affecting the empire, were
gravely discussed and explained. but
dominating all was the opposition's
hatred of the colonial secretary. From
Lord Rosebery's yelled illusions in the
house of lords. when he assumed what
many took to be the practical leader
ship of the liberal party, to the out
spoken comment in the house of COM
mons, criticism of Mr. Chamberlain
permeated almost every utterance
from the liberal benches

ANTI-CANTEEN LAW PASSED.
House Adopts the Measure by Good
MajOrity-Tax on OleOmar-
garine Raised.

Washington, Dec. THE house OF
sitting, passed the army reorganlza-
ton bill by vote of 166 to 1873. Three
democrats, Messrs. Hall (Pa.) and I'm
derhil1 and Clayton In. ", voted with
the republicans for the bill, and Mr..
Mccall (rep., Mass.) with the demo
Gratis against it. Otherwise it was a
strict party vote. The proposition
which some of the democrats attempt
ed to commit their side to in caucus,
army until July 1, 1908, which was
voted upon indirectly on a motion to
recommit, commanded the votes OF
only about half the opposition and OF
two republicans, Mr.. Mccall and Mr..
Mann GiD Many of the democrats,
however. voted against the motion be-
cause they were opposed not only to
the reorganization bill, but also to
continuing the temporary army at its
present strength.
Quite a number of amendments
were placed upon the bill before it
was passed The liveliest fight was
made upon a substitute offered by Mr..
Littlefield (Me.), for the canteen Sec
ton. The substitute absolutely pro-
hibited the sale of intoxicants at mil
itary posts.
Washington, Dec. S.-The house on
Friday passed the Grout oleomargarine
bill by a vote of 1913 to 90. The substi-
tute offered by the minority of the
committee on agriculture, which i'm
posed additional restrictions on the
sale of oleomargarine to prevent its
fraudulent sale as butter and increased
the penalties for violators, was defeat
ed by a vote of 113 to IT'S.
The bill as passed makes all articles
known as oleomargarine, butterlne,
imitation butter or imitation cheese
transported into any state or territory
for consumption or sale subject to the
police power of such state or territory,
but prevents any state or territory
from forbidding the transportation or
sale of such product when produced
and sold free from coloration in imita-
ton of butter. The bill increases the
tax on oleomargarine colored in imi-
tation of butter from two to ten cents
per pound, and decreases the tax on
oleomargarine, uncolored, from two
cents to one-quarter of a cent per
pound.
Washington, Dec. s.-The develop
ments in the senate in executive ses-
sion Friday in connection with the
Hay-Pauncefote treaty were: An
agreement on the part of the senate
to vote on the amendment offered by
the committee on foreign relations
providing for the policing of the
canal on next Thursday at three
o'clock. An amendment was offered
by Senator Teller striking out the
treaty prohibition against the fortifi-
cation of the Nicaragua canal when
constructed; the conclusion of Sen
ator Morgan's speech; a speech by
Senator Teller in opposition to the
treaty.

How gladly would men fly to wo-

Those things are known only to

is not at his command.

sary to know all about it, and full
information, many times, cannot be
