cured me of a bad attack of pneumonia
and surprised DR.. Boyd, my physician,
who said your medicine was all right
and ought to be in every family.
Physicians prescribe it, and have for
years. No opium, morphine or Other
poisonous drugs. This old remedy de-
rived it's name from having been pre-
scribed by an eminent specialist for
the late Rev. FIR John OBrien of Low
ell, Mass, over SO years ago, by whom
it was recommended. 1t is food
medicine and body builder-nourish-
ing the system and driving out the i'm
purit;es. 1t cures colds and all throat
and lung troubles. Its gentle laxative
effect strengthens the stomach and
starts the whole system working right
then you have vital force to drive
off colds and visiting disease.

FOR ONE YEAR.
House Ways and Means Committee
Would Remove the Coal Duty.

Washington, Jan. 13.-The ways and
means committee of the House decided
today, to report a bill providing for a
rebate equal to the duty now imposed
on all kinds of coal and coming from
all countries for period of one year
This bill is substitute for the one in
troduced by Representative Hill OF
Connecticut, which provided for a re-
bate until June 80 next. 1t is expected
that one bill will be called up in the
House at once.
The bill adopted provides that the
secretary of the treasury is hereby au-
thorized and required to make full re-
bate of duties imposed by law on all
coal of every form and description i'm
ported into the United States from for
Elm countries for the period Of one

which was voted down. He then pro-
posed an amendment placing all Goals

voted down. The final vote on the
iIOpllOii Oh the Dill WAS uIldili1l1OuS.
Representatives Payne, Dalzell and
GrosvenOr held a conference with the
President, this morning, relative to the
action which had been taken by the
committee.
The committee reported the bill will
not be called up in the House for con-
sideration, today, as originally con
templated, a decision having been
reached to bring it up under a rule,
tomorrow.
The report of the committee, submitted
to the House by Chairman Payne, after
recommending the passage of the bill
says: This is an emergency measure
demanded because of the scarcity and
high price of coal resulting from the re-
cent prolonged strike in the anthracite
mines.
"Precedents for such legislation are
found in the Chicago fire and the fire at
Eastport, Me. In these cases Congress
RELATED the duty on lumber used in re-
building in the burned districts. Whether
the legislation will increase the importa-
lions or reduce the price of coal is Il
question on which men differ but it is
all Congress can do in the premises and
will satisfy the demand of many of our
citizens. While there is a threatened coal
famine in every part of the country We
cannot tIrn deaf ear to the cry of the
people.
The committee did not consider it best
to make any changes in the tariff on
coal after the period of one year had ex-
PRED preferring to bring in this as a
purely emergency measure and not desir.
ing to go into the question of tariff re-
vision even upon this one article. If any

SMALL SILVER COIN.
Director Roberts of the MINIS Tells
Senate of Public Need.

Washington, Jan. 13.-The Senate
committee on finance heard an argu-
ment by Director of the MINIS Roberts,
today, in favor of the House bill au-
thorizing the coinage of the silver in
the treasury into subsidiary coin and
repeating the law for the coinage of sill
yer dollars. Mr.. Roberts said there was
great demand for more small coin. The
bill was not acted on because of objec-
lions made by some of the members of
the committee to the provision prohib-
iting the further coinage of silver dol
lars. The DIRECTORS held that it would
be unwise and inconsistent to reduce
the volume of the currency at a time
when there is very strenuous demand
for money.

A great many so-called illnesses are
probably the result of boredom-that
is, the lack of some mental stimulus
sufficiently strong to overcome the
frequent disquieting symptoms to
which humanity is heir and which I'M

bona fide ailments by mental sugges-
ton. This is certainly true Of three
fourths of milady's indispositions, says

pear as II by magic under the skillful

than a constant dwelling on the one

was nothing wrong, but she actually
