RECORD IN LEGISLATION.
House Got Very Busy and Passed 325
Bills.

House Got Very Busy and Passed 1926
Washington, Feb. 1.-THE House to-
day passed the sundry civil bill, which
has been under consideration since
Tuesday and then broke all previous
records in the matter of private PEN
sion legislation. 1t was the last OPP
pOrtunity of passing pension bills at
this session, and the calendar was
cleared, not only of House, but of Sen
ate bills. 1926 in all being passed. Three
hundred and twelve is the highest pre-
vious record, made in the Fifty-first
Congress.
Among them was bill to grant a
pension of $50 a month to the widow
of the late Representative Rumple of
Iowa, who died about two weeks ago.
Mr.. Rumple had a gallant war record,
having taken part in over thirty bat
ties and having risen from private to
the rank of captain.
The House also passed a Senate bill
to authorize the President to place Ed
ward L. Bailey on the retired list of
the army as a colonel. After serving
over thirty-nine years in the regular
army, Col. Bailey resigned his COM
mission.
The House adjourned until Monday.

ONLY A SUGGESTION,
But 1t Has Proven of Interest and
Value to Thousands.

Nalue 10 1nOuSAn0Ss
Common sense would suggest that If
one wishes to become fieshy and plump
it can only result from the food we eat
and digest and that food should be al
luminous or flesh forming food, like
eggs, beefsteak and cereals; in other
words the kinds of food that make
flesh are the foods which form the
greater part of our daily bills of fare.
But the trouble is that while we eat
enough and generally too much, the
stomach, from abuse and overwork,
does not properly digest and assimilate
it, which is the reason so many peo-
pie remain thin and under weight; the
digestive organs do not completely di-
gest the flesh forming beef steak and
eggs and similar wholesome food.
There are thousands of such who are
really confirmed dyspeptics, although
they may have no particular pain or
inconvenience from their stomachs.
If such persons would lay their pre-
tudices aside and make a regular prac-
tice of taking, after each meal one or
two of Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets the
food would be quickly and thoroughly
digested, because these tablets con-
tain the natural peptones and diastase
which every weak stomach lacks, and
by supplying this want the stomach is
soon enabled to regain its natural tone
and vigor.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets digest
every form of flesh forming food, meat,
eggs, bread and potatoes, and this is
the reason they so quickly build up,
strengthen and invigorate thin, dyspep-
tic men, women and children.
InvaIids and children, even the most
delicate, use them with marked bene-
fit as they contain no strong, irritat-
ing drugs. no cathartic nor any harm
full ingredient.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets is the
most successful and most widely
known of any remedy for stomach
troubles because it is the most reason
able and scientific Of modern medi-
cines.
Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold
by every druggist in the United States
and Canada as well as in Great Britain
at 50 cents for complete treatment.
Nothing further is required 10 cure

SWING ON TO PHILIPPINES.
Foraker Says United States VIII
Hold Them For Years.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE Senate
to-day listened to the reading of the
Indian appropriation bill. and spent
some time in the consideration of that
measure. 1t was not, however, final
ly disposed of. and will be taken up
again Monday. The greater part of
the remainder of the day was given
over to eulogies of late members of
the House of Representatives, includ-
ing Charles o. Russell of Connecticut,
Joshua S. Salmon of New Jersey, Amos
]. Cummings of New York, and R. o.
Crump of Michigan.
During the day Senator Aldrich
sought to secure consideration of his
national bank securities bill, and Sen
ator Lodge of the House bill amending
the Philippine tariff law. Both meas
ures went over under objection, but
incidentally there was a short, though
sharp, controversy over the conditions
in the Philippines in connection with
the tariff bill.
Early in the day Senator Quay pre-
sented a resolution expressing the
sense of the Senate to be that a vote
should be taken on the statehood bill
before March 2, next, but the resolu-
ton went over without consideration
until Monday.
The Philippine tariff bill, as passed
by the House, fixed the rate on Philip
pine products coming into this coun-
try, at rs per cent. on the Dingley
rates, instead of IS per cent, as at
present.
The Senate committee amended the
bill by granting free trade in all prod
ucts, except sugar and tobacco, and
upon these products levying a duty of
so per cent. of the Dingley rates.
Senator Foraker said he would OBJ
ject to the adoption of the amendment,
as he believed that any action less lib
eral than that proposed by the House
would result disastrously. He said
that we should treat the people of our
dependencies as our own people. "If,"
Senator Foraker said, I'VE can't treat
our own as we should, / propose to
move for free trade with them"
Senator Patterson called attention to
the fact that the Philippines are cap
able of producing large enough quanti
ties of sugar to destroy the beet sugar
industry. Referring to Senator Fora
ker's general statement, Senator Pat
terSon asked If it was to be understood
tnat IL is now MS opinion that we
should hold the Philippines forever or
until they are ready for self-govern-
ment, as he had said last session. Sem
ator Foraker replied:
1--WE should hold those islands until
they are capable of self-government,
but that is so far in the future that we
need not consider it here. The islands
will be in our possession for years to
come, and it is idle to talk now of
parting with them"
Senator Carmack said he had no oh
lection to the pending bill, but it's pas
sage would be of no benefit to the Phil
ippines. The measure had not been re-
ported, he said. until Mr.. OXnard, the
sugar beet manufacturer had express
ed his willingness, thinking it would do
him no harm. and the Filipinos no
good.
The Senate adjourned until Monday.

THE VALUE OfCHARCOAL
Few People Know How Useful 1t is
in Preserving Health and Beauty.

Nearly everybody knows that char
coal is the safest and most efficient
disinfectant and purifier in nature, but
few realize it's value when taken into
the human system for the same cleans
ing purpose.
Charcoal is . remedy that the more
you take of it the better; it is not
drug at all, but simply absorbs the
gases and impurities always present
in the stomach and intestines and
carries them out of the system.
Charcoal sweetens the breath after
smoking, drinking or after eating on
ions and other odorous vegetables.
Charcoal effectually clears and i'm
proves the complexion, it whitens the
teeth and further acts as a natural
and eminently safe cathartic.
1t absorbs the injurious gases which
collect in the stomach and bowels; it
disinfects the mouth and throat from
the poison of catarrh.
All druggists sell charcoal in one
form or another. but probably the best
charcoal and the most for the money
is in Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges;
they are composed of the finest pow
dered Willow charcoal. and other
harmless antiseptics in tablet form or
rather in the form OF large, pleasant
tasting lozenges. the charcoal being
mixed with honey.
The daily use of these lozenges will
soon tell in a much improved condi-
ton of the general health. better COM
plexion, sweeter breath and purer
blood, and the beauty of 1t is that no
possible harm can result from their
continued use, but, on the contrary,
great benefit.
A Buffalo physician in speaking OF
the benefits of charcoal, says: II adj
wise Stuart's Absorbent Lozenges to all
patients suffering from gas in stomach
and bowels, and to clear the complex
ion and purify the breath. mouth and
throat; l also believe the liver Is great

they cost but twenty-five cents box
at drug stores, and although in some
sense a patent preparation, yet ] be-
lieve / get more and better charcoal

IN any Of the ordinary charcoal tab
