reverses and been adjudged bankrupt,
Zion City, H., of which he was the
founder and head, having been placed i'll
the hands of receiver The failure Of
the Zion hosts to evangelize New York
city, or at least the eX.. ense incurred by
the recent crusade on that city. is the
cause of the financial distress of the
'divine healer" Whatever may be said
of his religious fanaticism Dowie has
proven himself a remarkable industrial
organizer and promoter. Zion City,
which he established represents assets
valued at between $40, 900, 600 and $780,.
600, 900 but inability to realize on the
outlay in time to meet pressing obliga-
tons has embarrassed the city. Zion
City is tribute 10 Dowie's energy and
enterprise. The industries of the city
comprise lace factories worth $500, 900; a
bank capitalized at $500, 900; large candy
factory; builders and manufacturers

There have been several discussions in
the Senate on Cuban affairs. The latest
was a speech by Senator Carmack in
which he ridiculed the Presidents mes
sage urging the passage of an act to
render the treaty valid. HE told us that
we must ratify it to save our honor and
help our trade. 1t was an opportunity to
worship God and get your money back
to be diligent in business while serving the
Lord. He presented the Cuban treaty in
the double aspect of bargain counter
and a missionary box. You put a nickel
in the slot for sweet charity's sake and get
more than your moneys worth of chew
gum and cigars. Six months ago." he
said, there was cry raised for 'Roose-
welt, reciprocity and revision The Trim
itarian propaganda has been overwhelmed
by the Mohammedan war cry of Allah,
Allah. Roosevelt is great and the Sem
ator from Massachusetts is his prophet"
He ended with plea for tariff revision
The reactionary movement in England
derived its strength from the hostile tariff
of the United States. This would be a
staggering blow to our agricultural in
dustries, but the beginning of a more
liberal policy shown by the victory of the
democratic party in the next election in
the United States would put an end to
Mr.. Chanberlain's schemes at once"
Senator Newland's resolution asking
Cuba TO come i'll the Union was the sub
ject of several debates. The republican
Senators Lodge, Hale and o. H. Plat
opposed the resolution, arguing that an
invitation to Cuba would be looked upon
as a command and would arouse suspicion
of the motives of the United States, and
that it would weaken the hands of the
present Cuban government, which was
about to enter on difficult financial un-
dertakings. In his speech, Mr.. Plat, the
author of the Plat amendment, denied
that We exercised a protectorate over
Cuba, or that Cuba was in any way our
ward. Senator Teller said that without
wishing to enter into the debate, he
wanted to declare that Cuba was in no
way dependency of this country, and
that any international lawyer would set
such contention down as absolutely
absurd.

Consumption is a human
weed fourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it's
easily destroyed while young
when old, sometimes inn
possible.
Strengthen the lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
SCOTS Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
ton is when you begin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won't.
Don't wait until you can't
deceive yourself any longer.
DeSln WIN the TlfSC thOught
to take SCOTS Emulsion. If
it isn't really consumption SO
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
ton you can't expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat
ment you will win.
SCOTS Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that's the treatment and
that's the best treatment.
