|GEARY LAW EXPIRES MAY 5.
House Will Accept Senate Substi-
tute to Head off Cinnamon.
EXTENDS TO OUR ISLANDS.

Washington, April 19.-The members
of the house who have been chiefly in
terested in the Chinese exclusion bill,
after formal conferences, decided to
accept the senate substitute, continu-
ing in force the present laws and
applying them to our insular posses
sions.
Representative Kahn (Cali.) who in
PRODUCED the drastic exclusion bill in
the house, and Representative Coombs
CALI who aided in perfecting it, both
expressed the view that the senate
measure should be accepted as the best
measure obtainable within the few
DAYS remaining before the Geary law
expires by Limitation. This view was
made known TO Representative Per-
kins, of New York, who reported the
house exclusion bill from the foreign
affairs committee, and an informal
understanding was reached that, if the
California members were willing to &C
cept the senate substitute, this course
undoubtedly would be taken by the
committee and the house.
1.-The senate substitute, as finally
amended, really gives us all we want
except in emitting the sailors clause, ;"
SAID Mr.. Kahn, land it is much more
drastic than is generally understood.
1t goes much further than the original
Platt substitute. and by re-enacting the
present law and the law of 1888, ex-
tending them to our island possessions
and continuing these laws indefinitely,
we get almost, if not quite, as much as
we did by the original bill. But, in
any event, as the present exclusion
law runs out on May 5, it would be
desirable to accept the senate substi-
tutc, for, if we were a single day
without an exclusion law, thousands
of Cinnamon would cross the border
from Canada"

IA PASTORS WIFE p, SS95 a'4 a
She Suffered for Years and
Felt Her Case Was Hope
less Cured by
Peruna.

MRS. ANNA B. FLEHARTY, recent
lNl Superintendent of the W. c. T. U.
headquarters, at Galesburg, Ill. was
for ten years one of the leading women
there. Her husband, when living, was
first President of the Nebraska Wesleyan
University, at Lincoln, Neb.
In a letter written from 401 Sixty seventh
street, W, Chicago, Ill, Mrs. Fleharty
says the following in regard to Peruna:
Having lived very active life as wife
and working partner of a busy minister.
my health failed me a few years ago l
lost my husband about the same time,
and gradually l seemed to lose health
and spirit. My daughter is confirmed
invalid, and we both felt great need of an
invigorator.
"One of my neighb0rs advised me
to try Peruna. A bottle was Immediate
place IN my daughters as well as in
my own health. Our appetifes i'm
proved very greatly, the digestion
seemed much helped, and resffui sleep
soon improved us, so that we seemed
like new women.
al would not be without Peruna for
ten times its cost. Mrs. Anna B.
Ffeharfy.
What used to be called female diseases
by the medical profession is now called
pelvic catarrh. 1t has been found by
experience lndI ulSSdScS VA luc
pelvic organs are the cause of most cases OF
female disease.
DIR. Hartman was among the first of
Americas. great physicians to make this
discovery. For forty years he has been
treating diseases peculiar tc women, and
long ago he reached the conclusion that
a woman entirely free from catarrhal
affection of these organs would not he
subject to female disease. He therefore
began using Peruna for these cases and
found it so admirably adapted to their
permanent cure that Peruns has now be-
come the most famous remedy for female
diseases ever known. Everywhere the
women are using it and praising it.
Peruna is not a palliative simply; it
cures by removing the cause of female
disease
DR.. Hartman has probably cured more
women of female ailments than any other
living physician. He makes these cures
simply by using and recommending Peruna.

A Postmaster. Discorerr.

Lancaster, n. Y, April 21st.-Mr.
John Remers, postmaster of this vii
lage, was taken with Diabetes four
years ago. For two years he doctored
with local physicians as well as sew
eral specialists from Buffalo, but got
no better. Indeed he was gradually
growing worse.
He stopped taking the doctors medi-
cine and commenced a treatment of
Dodd's Kidney Pills. He used in all
about ten boxes and is as strong and
well to-day as ever he was.
He attributes his recovery to moth
ing but Dodd's Kidney Pills, and says:
IF l could only talk five minutes to
every one who has Diabetes I am sure
l could convince them that they need
MT suffer a moment longer when
Dodd's Kidney Pills are on sale in ev-
cry drug store.
II will cheerfully answer any letters
from sick men or women, as l think
every Diabetes sufferer should be told
of Dodd's Kidney Pills, the remedy
that saved my life"

To the housewife who has not yet
become acquainted with the new things
of everyday use in the market and who
is reasonably satisfied with the old, we
would suggest that trial of Defiance
Cold Water Starch be made at once.
Not alone because it is guaranteed by
the manufacturers to be superior to
any other brand, but because each 10c
package contains 16 ozs., while all the
other kinds codtain but 10 ozs. 1t is
safe to say that the lady who once uses
Defiance Starch will use no other.
