CUBAN HOUSE
LACKS QUORUM
Daily Attempt to Meet
Baked by Members.
AMERICAN BODY AS MODEL
Senior Pierra Argues That Lower
Branch Acts as Judiciary
in Disputed Election.

HAVANA, April 13. - The house Of
representatives makes daily attempt 20
meet, but the Gisgrunt-eG members do
not appear. and the house still lacks
eight Of having a quorum. The Liberals
insist that the house should decide the
question OF the election of its members
without regard to whether or not the
provincial boards of canVasse-s have
certified the elections. The Republicans
hold that the house cannot dccid,. any
thing beyond the legality of the electiOl
OF those whom the boards have declared
elected.
Senior FideI Pierra argues that the
Cuban constitution is based on that Of
the United States. and quotes American
authors 70 prove that the American
House Of Representative acts as "a
judicial body in disputed elections, the
boards Of canVassers being merely ex-
ecutive bodies TO count the votes. They
do not decide as to the validity Of cleo
tiUus.
The Cuban house should therefore fol
low the lead Of the American House ana
decide which candidates have been
elected.

Brief Poets of Japan.


Japan is IL land of poets as well rs of
artists and soldiers. but the Japanese
poets have the great merit of brevity.
They almost invariably adopt the form
of poem known as the "hokka." which
always consists of exactly thirty one
syllables. arranged In five Or six lines.
These poems are usually devoted to
an exposition of some delicate beauty
In nature. One called "Kokoro ate ni''

The Japanese poets seldom rhyme.
and they do not often write love songs.
One of the latter, "Akenureba," is
reminiscent of Shelley's Good Night"

That the night will come again.

RYDALE'S TONIC
a REAL CURE FOR

Ii has recently been discovered that
the germs that produce Malaria. breed
and multiply in the intestines and from
there spread throughout the system
by means of the blood. This fact ex-
plains why Malaria is hard to cure by
the old method of treatment. Quinine.
Iron. ETC., stimulate the nerves and
build up the blood. but do not destroy
the germs that cause the disease.
Rydale's Tonic has a specific effect
upon the intestines and bowels. freeing
them from all disease breeding mi

infest the veins and arteries. 1t drives
from the blood all poisonous matter
and makes it rich and healthy.
