AIDS NATURES WORK
EFFECT OF ACETvLENE RAYS ON
GROWTH OF PLANTS.
Grow to Twice Actual Weight Of
Those Exposed to Sunlight Only
Latest Victory for This New and
Beautiful iIiuminant.

The experiments recently made at
Cornell University prove that the
beautiful rays from the gas. acetylene,
are as effective as sunlight on the
growth of plants, and this may soon
become subject for serious consider
alton by all progressive cultivators Of
the soil.
The results of the experiments are
astonishing. inasmuch as they show
conclusively the great increase OF
growth attained by supplementing

Light Of Acetylene" during the hours
in which the plants would otherwise be

A woman says:
"My husband had dyspepsia when
we were married and had suffered
from 1t for several years. 1t was al
most impossible to find anything he
could eat without bad results.
81 thought this was largely due to
the use of coffee and persuaded him
to discontinue it. He did so. and be-
gan to drink Postum Food Coffee. The
change did him good from the begin
ming, his digestion improved; he suf-
fered much less from his nervousness,
and when he added Grape-Nuts food
to his diet he was soon entirely cured.
my friend, Mrs. - -, of Vicks-
burg (my former home) had become a
nervous wreck also from dyspepsia.
Medicines had no effect, neither did
travel help her. On my last visit home,
some months ago, I persuaded her to
use Grape-Nuts food. She was in de-
spair, and consented. She stuck to it
until II restored her health so CON-

A Former Pronounced Dyspeptic He Now
Rejoices in Perfect Freedom from
Miseries Of indigestion.

Rejoices I'm Perfect Freedom from
Miseries Of Indigestion.
Thousands of sufferers know that the
reason why they are irritable and de-
pressed and nervous and sleepless is be-
cause their food does not digest, but how
to get rid of the difficulty is the pnzzling
question.
Good digestion calls for strong diges-
tive organs, aud strength comes from a
supply of good. rich blood. For this
reason Mr.. Baysson took DR.. Williams
Pink Pills for the cure Of indigestion.
"They have been my best doctor, he
says. IT was suffering from dyspepsia.
The pains in my stomach after meals
were almost unbearable. My sleep was
very irregular and my complexion was
sallow. AS the result Of using eight
boxes of DIR. Williams Pink Pills, about
the merits of which / learned from
friends in France, I have escaped all
these troubles, and am able again to take
pleasure in eating"
A very simple story, but il it had not
been for DR.. Williams Pink Pills it
might have been a tragic one. When dis
comfort begins with eating, fills up the
intervals between meals with pain, and
prevents sleep at night, there certainly
cannot be much pleasure in living. A
final general breaking down must be
merely question Of time.
Mr.. Joseph Baysson is a native OF
Aix-les- Bains, France, but now resides
at No. 2439 Larkin street, San Francisco,
Cal. He is one of great number who
can testify to the remarkable efficacy of
DR.. Williams Pink Pills i'll the treatment
of obstinate disorders of the stomach.
If you would get rid Of nausea. pain or
burning in the stomach, vertigo, ner-
vousness, insomnia, or any of the other,
miseries Of dyspeptic, get rid of the
weakness Of the digestive organs by the
use Of DIR. Williams Pink Pills. They
are sold by druggists everywhere.
Proper diet is, of course, great aid in
forwarding recovery once begun, aud a
little book, "What to Eat and How to
Eat" may be obtained by any one who
makes request for it by writing to the
DR.. Williams Medical Co., Schenectady,

Discussion Over Make
Up Of Committee.
Question As to Whether COnferees
Shall be From Rank of Support
ers or Opponents of the Bill in
the Senate.
BY Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Feb. Whether
the senate conference committee on
the statehood bill will represent the
party that defeated joint staten ,od
bill for Arizona and New Mexico, or
the party that fought for the reten-
tion of that provision, was debated at
length in the senate today, but no de-
cision was reached. The usual manner
was to name as conferees two of the
ranking majority members and one of
the ranking minority members of the
committee having the bill in charge.
In the present case it was contended
by Senators German and Teller that
the conferees is so named as not to re-
present the sentiment for the bill as
PISSED by senate. The arguments we're
interrupted by the converting of the
senate as a court to hear the Swayne
impeachment charges, hut it will be
continued tomorrow.
The house managers in the Swayne
trial rested their case today and the
defense opened.

The House Of Repre-
SentatiVeS
Nearly One Hundred Millions Appro-
priated For It-Representative
Baker of New York Makes Exhi-
bitiOn of Himself.
BY Associated Press.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 20. The house
today after a seven hours session pass
ed the naval appropriation bill carry
ing a total of 500, GA, 359. The provls-
ion for the two battleships, as reported
by the committee on naval affairs was
retained. Both the majority and mi
nority were badly divided over the
proposition at least forty members of
the latter going over to the republi-
cans, while about an equal number of
republicans voted with the opposition.
Several important changes in the
bill were adopted. The proposed in
crease of twelve hundred men and
officers for the marine corps was
stricken out and several times during
the debate the assassination of Grand
Duke Sergius was referred to, subject
being brought up by Baker, of New
York, who condemned the action of
the president in sending a message of
coincidence to Russia, expressing a
sentiment that the government and
the American people view the act with
adherence.
The people, he declared, did view
with adherence the massacre in st.
Petersburg on January 22d, but the
president, he said had not seen fit to
send a message of coincidence on that
occasion.
He was replied to by Grosvenor of
Ohio, who took the ground that, re
gardless of the character of the de-
ceased or the right or wrong of Rus
sia's policy toward her subjects, the
president in sending the message as
he did, had done exactly what civili-
cation recognized as his duty.
The climax came later when Baker
read resolution on the subject which
he subsequently introduced and which
was a reiteration of his remarks, pre-
viously made. He explained that it
had been suggested that in the event
of his offering such a resolution, a
resolution would be made to expel
him.
He shouted defiance at any member
of the house to max g such motion,
as he deposited the resolution and
took his seat amid the confusion
which the incident had created.
