URGENT DEFICIENCY BILL.
House Enters Upon Consideration Of
the Measure.

Washington, Jan. 21.-The house,
Immediately after it met, went into
committee of the whole and entered
upon consideration of the urgent def
cheney appropriation bill, which was
reported to the house on Saturday.
Mr.. Cannon, who was in charge of
the measure, explained that the bill
provided for the government service
for the current fiscal year where exist
Ing appropriations were not sufficient.
The bill carried s16,704,230. He an
swered many inquiries about various
items in the bill.
In semi-humorous speech Champ
Clark (Mo.) wanted to know who was
going to pay the expenses of "the ex-
traordinary aggregation of talent con-
sisting of Whitelaw Reid, Captain
Clark and General Wilson, Young

"see his sacred majesty, King Edward,
crowned" He said we were paying
Prince Henry's expenses and it was a
poor rule that would not work both
ways. He was glad to entertain Prince
Henry because it would give the lie
to the Anglomaniacs who were trying
to foster the idea that we were in
league with England against Germany.

WHAT'S IN A NAME?
(Bsnsons Plaster Is Pains Master,)

In the days of wild cat money in the
West, the Ames shovels were used as cur.
rency. They were as stable as gold; their
price did not vary cent in twenty years,
The very name of Oliver Ames & Son. was
a synonym for honesty. It was current all
over the world.
On the same principle Benson's Porous
Plaster is the universal standard external
remedy. To say it is ssgood" plaster does
not describe it; it is the best possible plaster.
For every disease in which an external rem
edy is available, Benson's Plaster is used
almost as matter of course.
BensonAs Plaster quickly relieves and
cures where other modes of treatment ara
either exasperatingly slow or have no good
effect whatever. Coughs, colds, lumbago,
kidney trouble, rheumatism, lame back,
etc., are at once benefited and soon cured.
Capsicum, Strengthening and Belladonna
plasters have none of the curative virtues
of Benson's. More than 5000 physicians
and druggists have commended Benson's
Plaster as remedy in which the public
may have implicit confidence; while, in a
comparative test with other plasters, Ben

Sickness.

There has been a whole lot of sense
less hysteria manifest in this city, and
a great deal more outside OF 1t,
relative to the conditions existing in
the city pertaining to Infectious dis
eases. The conditions have been, and
are, simply these: A couple of weeks
ago five cases of small pox, of the
lightest possible type, broke out in
this city simultaneously-all traceable
to the same origin, a party held in the
country north of town-and all five
cases were promptly quarantined-
No other cases have developed, and
all are convalescent, nearly ready to
be released. There Is absolutely no
danger from this visitation.
On Saturday morning diphtheria de-
veloped in three families in this city,
simultaneously, and there was one
de ath in each family, all three children
of the same grade in the public school.
This certainly was alarming, but the
health officer promptly quarantined
the families, and there has been no
S pread of the disease, although addi-
tional cases occurred in two OF the
families, and in the third the quaran-
tine has been raised.
There is not the slightest cause for
alarm, and with reasonable precau-
ton, no danger whatever.

Valley Forge.

My impression had been that Valley
Forge was wild glen high among the
mountains, where winter frosts and
SHOWS held unrelaxing sway for many
long, dark months every year. But
really its situation is neither lofty nor
remote, and the rigors Of the cold are
not nearly what they would be in our
more northerIy states. Comparatively
little snow falls, and often there is not
a weeks sleighing the winter through.
The valley is only twenty-three miles
from Philadelphia, with which it has
direct communication by a railroad

Washington, Jan. 21.-The senate
committee on Philippines has agreed to
report the house bill on the Philip.
pines with amendments. The report
was ordered by a strict party vote.
The bill was amended as heretofore
agreed upon, being a reduction of rs
per cent on goods coming from the
Philippines to the United States with
an additional reduction of the export
tax charged in the Philippines on
products sent out of the islands to the
United States. The Democrats pre-
sented a substitute which will be re-
ported to the senate. It provides that
there shall be temporary free trade be-
tween. the United States and the isl
ands; that the United States shall con-
tinue to occupy and govern the islands
until stable government has been
organized, when the president shall
direct the withdrawal from the islands,

HOW BROS. e 90.
A THRILLING FIRE.
The Hub Restaurant Reduced
to CinderS.

About two o'clock on Saturday
morning the city was aroused by an
alarm of fire, the occasion being a
right lively blaze in the interior OF the
Hub restaurant on Third-st., just west
of the Hanson & Emerson drug store.
Although the department responded
promptly the interior was a mass OF
flame, and there was delay in getting
any water. The hydrant on the Kel-
Ter corner was crippled, and scarcely
had a coupling been made with that
on the Miller corner when an accident
happened to it. The firemen, as
speedily as possible, made connection
with the one at the Bank OF Sank
Centre corner, and soon two very
effective streams were doing their
work. 1t was too late to save the
building, a mere wooden shell, but
the good work was shown in saving
the Hendry store which adjoined it on
the west. Fortunately a.little breeze
was blowing away from that structure,
which is of wood, and it was damaged
but a trifle, and that by water and
smoke. A hundred dollars will cover
Mr.. Hendry's loss. The Hilsdale
building presented heavy brick wall
to the fire. 1t was intensely hot, and
and some of the bricks crumbled and
the windows on that side, which are
of wire-glass, while cracked, were not
broken out. His loss was about $3.50.
The Hub building is owned by Jacob
Kiebert of Little sFalls, and it is a
complete wreck. Loss probably
SlOOO-insured. The restaurant was
operated and occupied by Berkness &
Dahl, who occupied rooms on the
second floor. They lose all their
furniture-probably $500, covered by
insurance. They woreDousted by the
smoke, and are unable to give the
cause Of the fire. but it was probably
due to defective fue.
The fire removes one of the very old
buildings in that row, and cleans a
good lot of a very inferior building
1t is not public loss.

SALT AND PEPPER.
Many Think They Are Only of Value
In Seasoning Food.

Salt and pepper, as generally consid.
flavor Of the food to which they are
added. That they have any value from
health standpoint is not so generally
recognized. You may know that a
lump of salt is good for horse, but
you do not stop to consider how impor-
tant salt is for your own well being.
In eastern countries the condiments.
such as pepper, are used to profusion!
in all foods. Gastric troubles common
enough in other countries are conspic-
uously absent, and the free use Of
pepper has much to do with that fact.
Salt and pepper work against fermen-I
tation. When the stomach is out OF or
der, or, as the common saying is, upset,
it is in state Of fermentation.
A certain very wise physician who
has advanced to the point where drugs
seem the unimportant thing and COM
mon sense the important in making the
sick well is advocating the use of pep
per and salt even in a glass Of milk.
1t improves the flavor to a remarkable
degree, fact you can prove to your
own satisfaction by taking two glasses
of milk, one in it's original simplicity.
the other changed by the addition Of a
pinch Of salt and dash Of pepper,
then sip little of each. The chances
are that you will prefer>the, seasoned
milk. Besides improving the flavor
and overcoming the tendency toward
fermentation the pepper will practi-
cally disable any microbes that may
be floating in the fluids. Thus the gas
trio juices will perform their perfect
work of changing microbes to food.
One of the best remedies for a dis
turbed digestion is hot water to which
have been added salt and paprika. If
taken a full hour and a half before
breakfast, a cupful Of this very palata-
BILE drink will completely cleanse the
stomach and leave it in good condition.
Out of a hundred persons selected at
random it is no exaggeration to say
that eighty eat too much and also that
these same eighty fail of proper masti-
cation. Weakened digestions are Of
course the direct result Of overeating
and insufficient mastication, and weak
ened digestion means undermined syS-
TENS. At the extremes Of life, youth
and old age, it, is wisdom to make the
diet much the same. A child's nourish-
ment should be very simple, so in old
age it should grow palmer and palmer.
