WATER DRINKING.-To keep in
health person should drink from two
to four quarts of water each day.
The system requires to be cleansed
and it's organs flooded with water.
Besides its cleansing efficacy, water
absorbs effete matter and carries it
through the system. The purer the
water the greater the power of absorp.
ton. Some diseases Of the kidneys
have been known to yield to generous
drinking of pure spring water. Beer,
tonics or alchoholic drinks cannot
take the place of pure water. In
many cases kidney and liver troubles
have been traced to the use of beer or
alcoholic drinks. 1t has been ascer-
tanned by the medical experts that
rheumatism, local heart trouble, indi-
gestion, painful swelling, eruptions,
liver and kidney disorders are caused
mainly by general or local impeded
circulation. The best tonic and blood
purifier is natures own medium-pure
spring water.-Rural World.

TALBERT AND The PENSION GRABBERS.
The Lone Fight Against Private Bills
Grows Exciting.

The Lone Fight Against Private Billt
Grows Exciting.
The proceedings of the house during
the consideration of private pension
bills, last Friday, were sensational
The following report is from the Asso'
ciated Press:
Mr.. Talbert, of South Carolina, sent
to the clerks desk and had read some
letters from old soldiers in various
parts of the country protesting against
the special acts "ground out by the
congressional bureau" One of them
said the old soldiers were very "sore. u
Mr.. Talbert said the letters read were
simply as samples of hundreds he had
received. Later on Mr.. Talbert, who
was demanding the reading of the re.
port in each case and who several
times made points of no quorum, be-
came involved in a controversy with
Mr.. Shattuc, of Ohio, who expressed
the opinion that opposition to pensions
came with ill-grace from former Con
federate soldier. Mr.. Sibley, of Penn
sylvania, said simple calculation
would show that it cost $36, 900 day
for session of the house or 81 900 ar
hour. Time frittered away by MIR
Talbert since he came to congress, h'
said, would more than pay all th'
special pension bills passed during tina
period.
Mr.. Norton, of Ohio, protested
against Mr.. Talbert's course. If b.
found an unjust bill and could demon
strate that it was unjust be (Norton)
and many members on the floor woul'
join him in defeating it. He appealed
to Mr.. Talbert to abandon his opposl
ton.
Mr.. Lamb, of Virginia, Joined in tn
rppeal, and his remarks drew forth
scathing dununciation from Mr.. Tai
bert. He said that the trouble wa

claims before the house he desired t
get through. The same was true o

combine. They dared not fight thes

When he went into the Confederat
army, he said, he and his had stake
everything and had lost it. The.
were not passing the hat around no"
Mr.. Fordney attacked Mr.. Talbert
little later. He said that when MI
Talbert said he was friend OF tn
soldier he would not believe him Oh
oath.
Mr.. Talbert, with great show Q
wrath, replied that when the gentle
man imputed untruthfulness to him b
hurled it back, and "crammed it dow
his rotten throat" He grew so excite'
that the chair was obliged to call bin
to order. When quiet had been re
stored, Mr.. Fordney raised a roar @
laughter by remarking quietly ; Il be
lieve in the Biblical promise that W
shall be born again. 1 hope to Co.
that when Mr.. Talbert's time come
he will be stillborn."

USES OF COAL OLA noted physi
clan relates this little incident of his
early practice. A lady brought her
little boy suffering from heat and in
|judicious feeding. He prescribed cool
ing drinks, bath and sleep. The
mother, indignant, went TO another
doctor and got some pills; child all
right next morning, but spill doctor"
got credit for the cure. We are often
rich in resources we know not of, as
they are too common to be appreciated.
Common sense works wonders in using
what we have on hand. Try the virtue
of coal oil !; a few drops on cloth,
moistened first with water, polishes
windows and mirrors, removes dust
from paint and furniture. Equal parts
of linseed oil (Loiled) and coal oil pol
ishes oiled furniture and floors. A
tablespoonful in a boiler of clothes is
equal TO the best washing compound.
Two.thirds milk and onc-third oil!
we'll shaken, is the best remedy for
rose bugs. Kerosene removes lice
from poultry and cures scaly legs.
Wash perches with it now and then.
Sometimes it is quite effectual in the
family for sore throat, rubbing OIL
outside with the hand. This, howev-
er, is only for sore throat from cold, as
sore throat with fever and pain needs
physician every time. Best medical
authority advises coal oil for hair tonic,
rubbing in scalp thoroughly with ends
of fingers, applying at least once a
month. The odor quickly passes
away. Nothing better for cleaning
zinc and tins. B. Bawerman.

DON'T ABUSE THE EYEs.-Don't It
think because you have good eyes they
will bear all kinds of abuse.
Don't use the eyes continuously at
close work, without occasionally rest
ing them by looking off in the distance.
Don't hold the book nearer than is
necessary for clear, sharp vision.
Don't make q practice of reading
type too small to be seen readily at
Is inches.
Don't attempt to read in car or
other jolting vehicles. 1t is strain
on the directing muscles.
Don't read when very sleepy, as the
accommodation and conveyance are
naturally relaxed, and the extra efforts
necessary to force the unruly members
to work may be shown by conges-
ton of the blood vessels of the eye
ball.
Don't read facing the light.
Don't read in the twilight or in
badly lighted rooms.-Pacifc Health
