During the terrific gale of Satur-
day afternoon the fire whistle put
fear in the hearts of many, but the
blaze was found to be confined in a
bath-house on south Mesaba avenue,

fire without great damage. With
the high wind at the time it is more

CONGRESS is OPPOSED
TO MODIFYING THE ACT
Objects to More Liberal Provisions in
Chinese Exclusion Laws-Finan-
cial Secretary Resigns.

| At the regular meeting of the Tri-
City Labor congress last evening, the
delegates instructed the secretary, f.
| w. Herges to write to the representa-
tives and senators urging them to OPP
pose the passage of the proposed bill
modifying the Chinese exclusion act.
| The proposed notifications are so eX-
| tensive that a protest is being made
| by labor organizations generally, the
stand being taken that the proposed
| bill will make possible the immigration
| of all classes of Chinese except the
| coolies, and even those under certain
conditions. The congress instructed
the secretary to telegraph to President
| Roosevelt expressing the disapproval
of the congress of the urgent deficien-
| cy bill, which abrogates the S-hour rule
| on construction work on the Panama
canal AS the bill has already been
signed, the action is late, but the pres
| idGnt was wired today in accordance
with the instructions of the congress.

Consumption Increasing
Average Now is Four Hundred Deaths
Per Day.

Does the reader of this paper realize
that this very day, in this country alone
400 homes are each made sad by the
, death of victim of consumption? To
morrow will be repetition of today S
calamity, and so it will go on until the
people come to realize the fact that a
very large number of these deaths are
entirely unnecessary.
Consumption is both a contagious,
! and durable disease in its first stages.
Yet many intelligent people do not
realize this fact.
AS our druggist, II. O. Roifs says,
drugs and cough syrups for bronchial
and lung troubles are only palliative
and do no permanent good; they may
deaden the cough and stimulate the
patient for time. but they do not
cure, and they usually upset the stom-
ach and have a bad after effect"
Eminent physicians. however, agree
that when the symptoms of lung
trouble appear, if the patient will
obtain all the sunshine by day. and
fresh air by night possible, eat sound
bread stuffs. good meat. eggs and
milk in abundance. and take the best
cod liver preparation to be found
they will employ the surest means
known for a cure.
The undersigned will guarantee
Vinol to be the best cod liver prep

centrated form all of the curative.

II. o. Rolls Guarantees to Cure BY
Hyomei or Will Refund the Money.
Until very recent years, it was
bought that catarrh was a disease of
the blood, but now modern science has
proved that catarrh is a germ disease,
and can be cured only by a treatment
that will kill the germ and heal the
mucuous membrane of the nose and
throat.
Therefore, when you have catarrh,
you can readily see that if you want
to cure it, you should use Hyomei,
which medicates the air you breathe.
thus killing the catarrhal germs and
healing the smarting and raw mem
brane of the passages through the
nose and throat.
The complete Hyomei outfit. consist
ing of an inhaler, a bottle of Hyomei,
and a medicine dropper, costs only 81,
while extra bottles can be obtained for
80 cents.
H. o. Rolls has sold a great many
Hyomei outfits. and the more he sells.
the more convinced he is that he is
perfectly safe in guaranteeing to re-
fund the money if Hyomei does not
cure

sadly upon the dignity of the press.
Give the ground hog decent show.
Was "a Conflict
Now, to begin with it must be re-
called that there was a conflict in the
prognostications of the ground hog the
second day of last month. The Taylor
Ridge Ground Hog society reported
that the animal out that way saw his
shadow, while the Scott County society
reported that the one across the river
did not. This, as pointed out in The
Argus at that time, indicated the pos
sibility that Taylor Ridge and Daven-
port might not get the same brand Of
weather Therefore the statement by
Observer Sherier that the average
temperature last month was 26 degrees
or 2.3 above the average in 50 years,
must not be taken to indicate condi-
tons at Taylor Ridge. Mr.. Sherier
did not take his observations at Tay-
Tor Ridge. Then, too, reflect that the
Taylor Ridge hog merely predicted six
weeks more of winter. Who says we
haven't now had four of the six? AT
least it has been much the same kind
of winter we had up to Feb. 2.
What We Had.
But to return to Mr.. Sheriers fig
ures. He finds that the mercsry in
February ranged between zero and SO,
the former being recorded on the 22nd
and the latter on the 5th The greatest
daily range was 80 on the Sd and the
least on the cath. There has been
an accumulated excess of temperature
of 800 since Jan. l, an average OF 81
a day. The rainfall was 2.21 and snow
fall s. inches. This WAS 81 inches
above the average in 50 years. There
were IL clear days, partly cloudy. and
9 cloudy.
