The following letter written by Mr..
John Cummings of Wetaskiwin, Alder
ia, Canada, formerly of Washington, to
a friend in the United States, is only
one Of hundred similar cases, and what
was done by Mr.. Cummings can more

and Industrious farmer who chooses to
make his home in the Dominion:

four stables, 1Sx20 inside, so that we

You eat too much and wash the good
things down with too much drink.
The good time ends in a muddled condi-
ton, and the stomach is worse muddled than
the head.
Think Of mixing up the various lots Of
food you eat at q dinner, from soup to nuts
in one receptacle, and adding half dozen
different kinds Of drinks, alcoholic and
otherwise. Stir the mixture up well and
imagine what sickening mess it would
make
Yet that is what you do in your stomach,
and your digestive apparatus can't handle
1t. SO the horrible stuff takes a nights
lodging in your Oyer-burdened interior and
sours there.
An this fermentation of undigestel food
with its evil consequences can be easily
avoided. All that IS necessary is to take
a tablet of Cascarets Candy CathaFtic be-
fore going to bed, and you'll feel all right
III the morning.
You don't need to forego the pleasures Of
jolly companionship if you will take this

RURAL FREE DELIVERY.

Mr.. Cannon Explains the Deficiency An.
preparation for That Purpose.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 17.-Immediately
after the reading of the journal, the
house went into committee of the whole
and took up the consideration of the
urgent deficiency bill. Mr.. Cannon,
chairman Of the appropriations COM
mittee opened the debate with q gen.
eral explanation of the items in the
bill. MIR. Cannon was asked by Mr..
Loud (Cal.) about the item of $3.50, 900
for rural free delivery, and replied that
it had been found that $500, 600 had
been appropriated for the present fiscal
year. That money had been largely
expended and unless this appropriation
were made much Of lhe service now in
operation would have to be discon-
tinued. MI. Cannon frankly confessed
that the manner of the expenditure Of
this money did not meet his approval.
He believed it the duty of the execu-
tive to cut the garment according to
the legislative appropriation.
