MT Rixev of Virginia has again intro duced the bill originally proposed by nun in 1898 to admt ConfedeFates into the soldiers homes established by the Unlteo States on the same terms as Union soidiors and also to extend to the States maintaining Confederate Soldiers homes the same aid that is extended to those maintaining homes for Union soldiers
 The bill encounters a good deal or op- position in the South, though 1t mas also some warm support there. MT. Richard son of Tennessee and MT. Bartlett or Georgia have led the opposition the chief objection to 1t in the South IS thds it seems too much like asking charity or the victors in the war between the States" as the sticklers for the original contention of the seeding States still like to call the civil war. The gentlemen who hold this view also maintain tna' logically there is no more reason why Confederates should be admitted to soi- diers' homes established by the United States or supported in those estaonsheu by the States in the South than there IS why the Confederates should be pen stoned by the United States. In either case the aid rendered out of the Unlted States treasury Is given because Of the service rendered to the government in the Civil War and the COnfederates did not aid, they fought, the government In reply to this MT. Rixey holds that 1t Is no ta charity at all that he demands He says 1t is the right of the South that it should share in the aid afforded from funds to which the South contributes for the support of the totally disabled in consequence of the war. Pensions, he de- clares, rest on different ground, though We cannot quite make out wherein the difference lies. It is true that pensions may be drawn by those who are not to- tally disabled, and the bill of Mir. Rixey limits the aid in the soldiers homes en- tirely to this class, but, as far as con cerns this class, the principle seems to be exactly the same.
 It is hardly to bo doubted that the op- position to the plan in the South will be

I would have never come out here for my health. ED SCHUBARTH. !. ieoo Market Street. Denver. Oct. 18th, 1901.
 There are thousands of cases just like that ef Mir. Schubarth and Mrs. Arlington. where the patients thought they had incurable con suuhption until their doctors prescribed Duffy { Pure Malt Whiskey. Duffy's Pure Malt Whis- key is absolutely pure and possesses more curative power than all other medicines Il contains no fusel oil, so common in other whis- keys. and which is a dangerous ingredient in whfskey, especially for the diseased system, when the poison takes effect
 Duny's Pure Malt whiskey not only drives out consumption germs and heals the lungs but it builds up new tissue and renovates the entire system. It aids digestion. stimulates and enriches the blood, tones up the heart. invieorates and builds up the body so that ft will throw off all disease.

DUFFY'S PURE MALT WHISKEY

tors said he would rather have Duny's Pure Mat whiskey to cure consumption, catarrh. asthma and diseases of the throat and lungs than all the Quack medicines in the world. and the doctors present agreed with him unun- inaotisly. Duny's Pure Malt whiskey is good tor old and young. It has carried the blessing of health to hundreds of thousands of poor sufferers Many have tried to int ate it. and unreliable dealers have been known to try to sell their customers some cheap substitute. So we caution our patients to be careful and see that .DufYy's Pure Malt Whskey' is on the label. and that it is our own patent bottle with the name blown in the bottle. This Is the only way Duffys Pure Malt Whiskey is sold If offered in bulk or in iasks 1t is a fraud
