Washington, June 1s.The weeks

Saturday with another round Of state

sentative Wadsworth. Admitting his err
ror in claiming that there was made
quate provision in the Wadsworth sub
stitute for meat inspection ut all hours
of day and night, he put the blame on

inal agricultural bill rider. Forthwith
Mr.. Beveridge, who has cultivated White

The speakers friends assert that the
President has backed down. They yield
the court review, but the speaker all
along has said that was not essential.
The President, however, has insisted
that the elimination of this provision
was very essential. Instead Of the day
and month, labels on cans and carcasses
are to give only the year of the in
spection. That is concession to the

quite likely that they should receive

person who recommended DR.. Pierce's
Favorite Prescription. This is a medi-
cine specially prescribed for diseases OF
womankind. 1t does not cure eczema,
catarrh in all its forms, nor heart dis

pose Of curing diseases peculiar to-
icomea. 1t has reputation Of over o
third Of century OF cures, and has
sold more largely on this continent
than any other medicine for women.
Another point in its favor--it does not
contain single drop OF alcohol or

purely vegetable and perfectly harm
