DISTRIBUTION OF SEEDS.
This Furnishes Food for Much Ora
torlcaI Discussion.
(By the Associated Press. )

Washington, Feb. 2.-The Senate
spent much of the day in discussing
the policy of distributing ordinary
farm and garden seeds by the Agri-
cultural Department. The controversy
arose in connection with the consider
alton ofthe Agricultural Appropriation
I3ill and from an attack upon the seed
distribution custom made by Mr..
Lodge. He and those who stood with
him contended that the seeds sent out
were of the common varities to be
bought of dealers everywhere and
urged that only rare varieties should
be supplied free to the people of the
country. Their opponents contended
that much good was accomplished by
the work OF the department. Mr..
Pettus, the venerable Alabama Sena-
tor. stood with the latter class and he
appealed to his fellow "youthfuf'
Senator's not to forget the days when
they enjoyed the violets that grew in
the flower box on the front porch.
The Senator's participating in the
debate were Messrs. Proctor. Lodge,
Platt (Conn), Spooner. Hansbrough.

NEW DISCOVERIES IN
CHEMISTRY.
Recent Experiments.

A pin prick and a drop Of blood on a
glass slide will tell whether your blood
is In q healthy condition or not. Every
healthy man should have five million
red blood corpuscles to every square
milIimeter of blood. If there are too
many white blood corpuscles the person
IA said to be anemic and run down. A
chemical test Of the water from the
human body will tell whether the kid
news are in good health or not. These
tests Of health are conducted by expert
physicians and chemists every day.
Such examinations are made without
cost. This Is only a very small part OF
the work Of the staff Of physicians and
surgeons under the direction Of DR.. R.N.
