Mo Tariff rinkerinn.

From the St. Louis Globe-Democrat.
says Congressman DalzeM. one Of the
leaders OF his chamber after a visit 10
he Nhite House: There Will be no tariff
legislation either at the extra session or
he regular session Of Congress This
may be presumed TO expfess the purpose
)f not only the Republican majority IN
congress, but to voice the wish Of the
Presl ieri. The extra session win have
something 20 do IN getting the Cuban
reciprocity treaty adopted. Possibly thc
Chinese and the isthmian canal aues-
lions Will be discussed little IN that
session. Reciprocity. however will very
likely sum up all the work which Con.
gress win finish IN that session. This IS
an right. There is no real need for an,

HEALr,4 LESSONS.

A set Of tables was presented to the
recent congress of actuaries which in
dicates that taking the period of the
last thirty years medical science has
reduced deaths from certain diseases
in "a very substantial manner while the
fatalities from others have increased.
There has been progress in battling
with typhoid fever. consumption and
liver troubles. but deaths from heart
disease. apoplexy cancer and pneumo-
MIA have increased by a large percent
ago. There are also more suicides than
formerly.
It would appear that those diseases
which are contagious have been re-
duced, and the decrease is undoubtedly
due to science which has learned how
to deal with them. II is just possible
that certain OF them may eventually
disappear. But medical science is pow
erless to arrest diseases Of the organs
that have been brought about by in
temperate or abnormal living Thus
consumption is an infectious disease
and by proper treatment it may be
checked, but pneumonia. while il is
also a lung affection is frequently due
TO exposure when The person attacked
has not sufficient vitality TO resist it,
There is no doubt, too. that heart dis
ease and apoplexy are frequently the
result Of high living drinking to excess
and a lack Of proper exercise. The
reduction of the number Of such dis
eases will be impossible unless men live
more sensibly
II is the assumption that pneumonia
is the result OF exposure, yet it is on
the increase despite the fact that now
men are better clothed and better
housed than ever before. The conclu-
sion we must reach is that we are less
prepared when subjected TO exposure
TO resist 1t than our fathers We're. Sci
ence has told us how to live. what tC
eat. how to conduct our living and how
important il is to exercise. But W,
don't do il. Perhaps luxury produces
race OF weaklings. ana there Is "a
denying thatcompared with living a hal
century ago y enjoy uxufy- W

urious and lns, u ydsive. and Il thing
continue as they are We shall nrobabl'
cease to walk. The things which wer'
once done by the muscle Of man arr
now done by the finest machinery. 1
needs only the brain Of man to produc'
results. No wonder then that our or
gans are decadent and subject to col
lapse. And no wonder that with thu
mental strabismus which succeed
j. physical break downs. suicides are OF
the increase.

The coffee drinker who has suffered
and then been completely cured by
changing from coffee to Postum Food
Coffee knows something valuable.
He or she has no doubt about il. A
California lady says: Il learned the
truth about coffee in a peculiar way.
My husband who has for years been a
very bilious temperament decided to
leave off coffee and give Postum a trial
and as I did not want the trouble Of
making two beverages for meals l con-
cluded to try Postum too and the re-
suits have been that while my husband
has been greatly benefited, / have my
self received even greaterbenefit. When
began to drink Postum I was thin in
flesh and very nervous and now l act
ually weigh 16 pounds more than I did
at that time and I am stronger physi-
cally and i'm my nerves while husband
is cured of all his ails.
I'VE have learned our little lesson
about coffee and we know something
about Postum too for we have used
Postum now steadily for the last three
years and we shall always continue tC
do so. We have no more use foi
confee-the drug drink. We prefer

ELECTION euEssEs.

Election predictions and election re-
turns don't always tally but they are
interesting anyway. The elections in
several large cities and a number Of
states take place next Tuesday, There
may be surprises. for there is a large
independent vote to be polled. and il
Is Impossible to learn much about that
until the returns are read.
The contest IN New York city prom
ises to be very close. A few days since
the Fusionists had the odds in the bet
ting but it is now slightly the other
way. We think that Tammany with
the kind Of vote Il polls is able to esti-
mate its strength pretty accurately
while the Fusionists relying on the in
dependent vote are not able to make
very definite estimates. It seems safe
10 say that most Of the vote that is
considered doubtfui will go to Low. and
the probability is that he win be elect
cd.
iowa will elect Albert d. cummins
Governor without doubt. as the Re
pubncans are enthusiasts and pre-
pared for one Of their old-tim9 vicso-
rios.
James X. vardnan viii be elected
Governor OF Mississippi as matter
OF course. and the vote may be very
heavy. as his rabid negro platform
seems popular.
In Massachusetts John l.. Bates will
be reelected Governor without ques-
ton. The Democrats are putting up o
stin fight. and there are several tickets
in the fold intended to draw frorn tn,
Republicans. but all that the Demo.
rrats hope for is to cut down the Re
