is the hardest work that the average
congressman does for his people.
There are 357 members of the ma
tional house of representa- tives, and
not more than 25 or 30 of them have
ANYTHING to do with legislation. The
others are mere followers. Wherever
their party leaders tell them to 60
they go. They do not initiate legisla-
ton of any kind. They leave all things
to committees appointed by the speak
er, and they vote as they are told to
vote on the passage of bills. Because
of this condition of affairs the govern
ment has been growing less worthy dur
ing the last quarter of a century, and
extravaganza has grown until it has
become reprehensible. 1t is not an ex-
travagant statement that hundreds
of millions of money have been taken
from the people by taxation, and ap-
propriated unwisely. 1t would not be
fair to say that the government has
grown corrupt because of it's unwise
appropriations of the peoples money.
Samuel J. Randall, of Pennsylvania,
was for many years the leading demo-
cratic member of the national house
of representatives. He was chairman
of the committee on appropriations,
and in that position he welded so much
power that he was able to prevent tar
if legislation; and he did prevent the
party from enacting free trade meas
ures several times, although he was
one of small minority of that party
In order to take from Mr.. Randall that
power, the committee on appropria-
tons was deprived of control over the
appropriations for pensions, the army
the navy, rivers and harbors, public
buildings and grounds, and other i'm
portant government affairs. The bills
making appropriations for these va,
rious purposes were given to separate
committees, and there began the era
of extravaganza in appropriations.
So long as all appropriations were
controlled by one committee the tota
expenditures of the government were
kept down to about $500. oo0,o 900 annual

RIVE ms Food for Pigs,

In Germany they tested rye as food
for pigs in comparison with barley
In some cases the pigs refused it al
together, and when given in large
amounts it was not eaten readily. AS
a single ration it should not be con
timed long, and it ought in all cases
to be soaked or carefully ground. 1t

ly, because the ommittee kept "the to.
tai" before them all the time. But
when separate committees were given
power to make appropriations, each
committee looked at its own week as
Of excessive Importance, and immedi-
ately the total appropriation began
to increase. With this example OF ex'
travagance before them the senators
divided their great committee on ap
preparations in like manner only a
few years ago, and this, added to the
folly of the house of representatives,
instead of curtailing the total annual
expenditures for the government. The

New WAY to Catch Flies.

A newly patented fly trap consists Of
a cage and couple of rollers under
meath, the latter being coated with
some sugary stuff and caused to re-
volve by clockwork. Flies that altssht
upon the rollers are gently conveyed
into compartment from which there
is only one obvious exit; namely, into
the cage above. They promptly fly
up because the cage is light, and thus
are captured, to be e''ehecuently
drowned miserably in scalding water.

NERVOUS DYSPEPSIA.
A Cure for AII-NOt a Patent Cure-An. Nor
"a Modern Miracle. but Simply "A Ha-
tIonaI Cure for Dyspepsia.

In these days of humbuggery and
deception the manufacturers of pat
ent medicines, as a rule. seem to think
their medicine will not sell unless
they claim that it will cure every dis
ease under the sun. And they never
think of leaving out dyspepsia and
stomach troubles. They are sure to
claim that their nostrum is absolute
ly certain to cure every dyspeptic and
he need look no further.
In the face of these absurd claims
it is refreshing to note that the pro-
prietors of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets.
have carefully refrained from making
any undue claims or false representa-
tions regarding the merits of this
most excellent remedy for dyspepsia
and stomach troubles. They make
but one claim for it, and that is. tina
for Indigestion and various stomach
troubles Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is
radical cure. They go no farther
than this, and any man or woman suf-
fering from Indigestion, chronic or
nervous dyspepsia, who will give the
remedy Il trial, will find that nothing
is claimed for il that the facts will
not fully sustain.
1t is a modern discovery, composed
of harmless vegetable ingredients ac-
ceptable to the weakest of most deli
cate stomach. Its great success in
curing stomach troubles is due to the
fact that the medical properties are
such that it will digest whatever
wholesome food is taken into the
stomach. no matter whether the
stomach is in good working order or
not 1t rests the overworked organ
and replenishes the body, the blood,
the nerves, creating a healthy appe-
tite, gives refreshing sleep and the
| blessings which always accompany Il
good digestion and proper assimila-
tion of food.
In using Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets
no dieting is required. Simply eat
plenty of wholesome food and take
these tablets at each meal, thus as
sisting and resting the stomach which
rapidly regains its proper digestive
power, when me tablets will be no
longer required.
Nervous dyspepsia is simply a con
dition in which some portion or por-
tions of the nervous system are not
properly nourished. Good digestion
invigorates the nervous system and
every organ in the body.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by all druggists at so cents per pack
| age.
