always to BE Depended Upon.

When a person gets up in the morning
with a dull headache and tired, stretchy
feeling, 1t is an almost certain indication
that the liver, or bowels, or both, are de-

At such times Nature, the wisest and
best of all doctors, takes this means to
give warning that she needs the help and
gentle assistance which can best be OBJ
tanned from that old family remedy,
Brandreth's Pills, which has been in use
for over a century.
They are the same fine laxative tonic
pill your grandparents used, when doctors
were few and far between and when peo-
pie had to have remedy that could abb
solutely be depended upon.
Brandreth's Pills can be depended upon

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE senate
passed the army appropriation bill
carrying $81, 100000. An amendment
which permitted the government to
accept reduced rates on army supplies
and permitted officers and enlisted

The amendment offered by Senator
Dick, increasing by 20 per cent the
pay of officers and enlisted men, was
defeated by point Of order made
by Senator Hale. In the debate on
an amendment allowing reduced rates,
Senator Spooner took the position
that the government was not bound
by the rate bill and if it was SO con-
tended, the present amendment ought
TO be accepted to clear away any
doubt On the point. Senator Aldrich
opposed the amendment. Incidental
