AFTER SPIRITED DEBATE
AS PROVIDED by the Bill. Plants Will

Washington, Feb. i.--After spirit
ed debate in the House saturday a
provision was incorporated in the Mil
itary Appropriation bill making ava !
able 100000 for war balloons an.
other aeronautical devices used by the
Signal Service Of the army. The de-
bate was chiefly important as show.
ing a disposition ON the part of the
House TO favor further experiments
ton with balloons and other aeronaut.
ical craft for purposes Of war. An ef-
fort was made to keep the provision
relating to the balloon out of the bill
on the ground that II was new legisla-
ton and therefore should not be car
ried an appropriation bill. The Chair,
however, refused to sustain this con-
tention. II was brought out during
debate that nearly every European ar.
my is experimenting with balloons and
aeroplanes on a much larger scale
than the United States.
Mr.. Macon of Arkansas said he
would not oppose the provision If any
one could cite single instance where
ths use Of the balloon in warfare had
been instrumental in deciding contest
one way or the other.
Mr.. Cockrane OF New York replied
to Mr.. Macon as follows: The war
balloon performed signal part in the
war between France and Germany,
Gambetta escaped from Paris in a bal
loon and organized the national de-
Tense"
At the battle Of Malvern Hill and
other engagements of the civil war, Mr..
Capron Of Rhode Island said, balloons
had been used TO great advantage ia
observing the movements of the en-
envy.
Mr.. Macon then withdrew his OPP
position to the balloons. Mr.. Slayden
of Texas asserted that proper encow-
agement had not been given aeronautics
in the United States. The Wright
brothers had to 60 abroad to make their
experiments.
As provided by the bill, plants win
be built for the construction Of ball
looms and for housing them, and expert
ments with balloons and other airships
will be conducted under the direction Of
officers OF the signal corps.

-
WRIGHT PROBABLY NOT IN
How the List "Sizes Up-The Subject
Of War Balloons and Aeroplanes
Is Taken Up ana Discussed
in the House.
WRIGHT PROBABLY NOT IN

Washington, Feb. following the
apparently pretty well-founded report
that George NJ Reynolds Of Chicago is
to be Mr.. Taft's secretary Of the treas
ury, Washington is disposed to think
that in spite of the secretary whhic
MIR. Taft has maintained IL has prac-
tically guessed his cabinet, with the sin
gle exception of the secretary Of war.
Tho fact that Senator Knox, who is TO
be the new secretary of state, returned
from Augusta early in the week, pos.
sibly lends this feeling more apparent
support than is actually justified, since
Senator Knox is observing a severe and
discreet silence. But it is recognized
that Mr.. Taft would scarcely have gone
away TO Panama without having his
mind fairly well made up as to his
cabinet and its membership. The slate
which Washington is thus disposed to
regard as representing very nearly, if
not exactly, the list which Mr.. Taft
will eventually make public, TALES
with that referred to several days ago
in the editorial columns of The Re
publican, with the exception OF the sub
stitution OF George NJ. Reynolds Of
Illinois for Myron T. Herrick Of Ohio
a. secretary OF the treasury and of
some person not yet guessed for Gen.
Luke Wright, the present secretary of
war. Who the secretary Of war viii
be is now the unanswered question, but
there is very good reason for believing
that il will be neither Gen. Wright,
the present incumbent, nor Gov.sMagoon
who has just finished his work in
Cuta.
With these two alterations, the slate
is here given again as an exhibit to
accompany a brief record of current
comment upon the strength which such
q cabinet will PRESENT.
Secretary Of state--Philande c.
Knox OF Pennsylvania.
Secretary Of the George NJ.
Reynolds Of Illinois.

There is more or less talk by sireNd
and experienced observers that this
viii make a weak cabinet IT i point.
cd out that, with the exception Of Mr..
Knox, none Of its members will have
had ony legislative experience in either
branch Of Congress and win therefore
he under a certain handicap in dealing
with that body, but it il a fact to be
borne in mind that none Of the big
figures in the Roosevelt cabinet, Root,
Taft, Cortelyou or Hay, had beer mem
hers Of Congress. Yet it is true that,
Is set, these men, whom Mr.. Taft
IS expected to choose as his coanselors,

GERMS IN HER SYSTEM
Every woman should Read This.

The number OF diseases peculiar 10
woman IL such that we believe this space
would hardly contain mere mention OF
their names, and IL Is fact that most
of These diseases are of catarrhal ma
ture. A woman cannot he well II there
is trace Of the catarrhal germs in her

Some women think there Ia no help for
them. We positively declare this 70 be
mistaken idea. We are SO sure OF this
that We offer TO supply medicine abso-
lutely free OF all cost in every instance
where II fails 10 give entire satisfaction
or does not substantiate our claims With
this understanding, no woman should
hesitate TO believe our honesty OF pur-
pose, or hesitate to put our claims TO a
test.
There is only one way 10 cure catarrh.
That way is through the blood You
may use all the snufTs. douches or like
remedies for years without getting more
than temporary relief at best. CatarIh
is caused by a germ. That germ Is car
ried by the blood 10 the innermost part
Of the system until the mucous mem.
brane is broken, irritation and infamma-
ton produced, and a flow OF mucous re,
suits, and you can probably realize how
silly II is 10 attempt to cure such an
ailment unless You take medicine that
follows the same course as the germ or
parasite.
Rexall MucuTone Is scientifically pre-
pared from the prescription Of an emf.
nent physician, who for thirty years
made his speciality catarrh, and with
this medicine he averaged os per cent.
of cures where il was employed. No
other remedy is so properly designed
for the ailments OF woman IL will
purify and enrich the blood, stop mucous
discharge, destroy all germ matter, re-
move all impurities from the system,
soothe, heal and strengthen the mucous
tissues, and bring about good feeling of
health and strength.
