FLED Up.
Senator Morgan Objects to Sending a
Minister to Panama.

Washington, December 19.-In the
executive session Of the Senate today,
Mr.. Morgan moved to reconsider the
motion by which the OF
w. l. Buchanan to be minister to PaTx
ANA was confirmed on Thursday LAST
and the motion was discussed for half
an hour without being acte>1 upon.
Senators Morgan and BacCn both said
the. had intended to Oppose the con-
firBcatiOn of Mr.. BuCnanan's nominal
ton, but had not Observed when il was
taken UP III the Senate and therefore
had been unprepared for the an
nOuncement Of his confirmation. They
were not even aware of the fact that
the nomination LAD been reported
from the committee on foreign rela-
ions.
Senator Morgan said he had been
present at last Wednesdays meeting
Of the committee when the nominal
tons were supposed to have been
taken up; that he was the only Dem
ocratic member in attendance and
that he had not noticed when the
nomination was brought to h atten-
ton Of the committed. Both he and
Senator Bacon stated that SO far as
they are now advised there is no per
sonal objection to Mr.. Buchanan, and
both based their opposition to III act
of sending n representative to Pan
anna at this time.
No vote was taken on Mr.. Morgap's
motion, but it has the effect of tyiDg
the matter up, as notice Of the Sem
ate'S action had not been sent to the
President before the motion was en-
tered.

The excessive and indiscriminate use Of
medicines, in these days, cannot be too strongly
condemned. The food you eat. If properly
digested. is all the tonic you need.
Only common sense is needed. The food
must be digested and the bowels mast not be
allowed to clog. Preserve your health by
preventing these conditions.
Constipation surely leads to indigestion, bill
iousness. etc, and these conditions when
neglected affect the condition OF the blood,
debilitate the system. rendering it susceptible
to more serious ailments, and less able TO
resist such attacks.

eating, weakened by drugs or sickness. you
