It is thought that it will pass the House in about two weeks more and if the Senate is still in session at that time and has shown disposition to consider tariff legislation that body will find it. self in possession of the cotton schedule with perhaps the iron and steel schedule in course of preparation in MT. under- woods committee rooms.
 The Senate is made up of new and vire blood. Younger and more ambi- tious men are in the majority and in control. They have discovered that the people are looking to the Senate and will no longer tolerate that body as an ex- elusive gentlemens club holding only winter sessions, when travel to Europe Is not in season. They know that the peo- pie back home want action and they are disposed to work. They have nothing specially to do at home anyway and might as well spend the rest of the sum- mer in Washington, where the weather Is not much worse than 1t is at home and where they are surrounded by every luxury that Uncle Sams money can sup ply. To tell you the truth, many a hard working citizen back home would revel in the luxury of reposing in one of those deep cushioned sofas in the Sem ate office building, under a ponderous and busy electric fan drinking iced appolinaris water while a bell at his door calls him through the cool subway for every roll call
 While Senator Gronna was speaking and prespiring laboriously at some length one afternoon this week there was but one other senator present and he was billed to follow and per- haps did not know just how long Gron- ma would be on the floor. A roll call, however, at any moment would have brought about 50 of the 91 senators into the chamber in less than 10 minutes.

Work on Cotton Schedule

The democratic members Of the ways and means committee of the House will resume the work of framing revision Of the cotton schedule on Tuesday. The leaders contemplate a reduction In cot- ton duties of from 90 to 50 per cent, all duties to be ad valorem, as in the wool bill. Chairman Underwood and his col leagues believe that the bill drawn on revenue basis can be so framed as to cause no reduction in the revenues. The cotton revenue now is about sSs 100000. By lowering the duties they have statistics to indicate the amount of goods to come into tis country will equal, if not ex- ceed, the old revenue.
 Laces are to be included in the revised schedule.

 Recommence

Washington, July e.-A lively clearing of the way for the eventual passage of the unamended Canadian reciprocity bill by the voting down of the Cummins and Simmons amendments to that measure and continued discussion and action on other provisions in connection with the bill will keep the Senate busy all this week while the House, which will meet Wednesday and quickly adjourn until Sat urday, will be active only through it's committees.
 The amendment proposed by Senator Cummins of Iowa, insurgent republican, which would add steel, iron, coal, lum- Der, wool cotton and other Canadian prod ucts to the free list from Canada and the amendments proposed by Senator Sim mions of North Carolina. democrat are somewhat similar in nature. These are expected to be bowled over during the

 the reciprocity bill and amendments by Senator LaFollette and others will be acted upon.
 The proceedings tomorrow will begin with set speech by Senator Simmons in support of his own and Senator Cummins' amendments, followed by roll calls on the amendments. The bugaboo of filibuster practically has been raised and friends of reciprocity will watch for attempts to intersperse the voting with speech mak- Ing. which they will interpret as the in- stitution of a filibuster.
 Diatory tactics will be met with such acts of coercion as the majority might de- eide would expedite business. Mir Cum- mins has indicated that he will ask for separate votes in all his amendments and has said that he would demand at least dozen roll calls. MT. Simmons win not be so insistent. ssnator t,ai'ollsfta said today that he would probably present his amendment on Monday or Tuesday and he probably will speak for the greater part of several l days In explanation and advocacy of them His speech is regarded as the most l vote on the bill, and senators generally say that with 1t out of the way predic- tions regarding a final vote will be more reliable. In addition to MT. LaFollette and MT. Simmons Senators Bailey, Stone, Jones. Clapp and others are still to be heard.
 | The prevailing opinion still is that with l tho reciprocity bill out of the way, final | adjournment will soon follow. The demo- crats generally will demand votes on one or two of their tariff bills. but will not debate them at length.s The insurgent republicans gre divided on this item of policy, but most of them are inclined to demand further time for legislation, and they may take such course as will delay getting away. The general sentiment, however, is that the extra session of Congress will end early in August.

DRINKING HABIT IN FRANCE
Number of Cabarets Grown Excessive
Iy and In Some Districts Alcohol
ism Is Menace

The French Senate is now engaged
IN discussing a measure which will be
instrumental in lessening the danger
OF the republic becoming a drunken
nation, says a Paris correspondent.
Since the passing of the law of 1880
the number of carbarets had grown
excessive, and in some districts alco-
hClism had reached a danger state.
Statistics show that so years ago
there We're more than 100000 carbar-
cts in Paris and the provinces; the fig
ure is now close on 100000, with an
average Of one per eighty inhabitants.
or one for thirty grownup men And
1t is not the workmen alone who con
sumes alcohol, but also his wife and
children. The figures further show
that the divisions in which alcoholism
Is most prevalent furnish the great
est number Of young men who cannot
be admitted to service with the colors
or who have to be sent home pending
their return after awhile for another
medical examination.
That French statesmen are con
scious of the national menace of alco-
hol is revealed by the debate in the
senate, Said NJ. BRAND:
The present situation is terrible.
This is a question of national interest;
the life of the nation is at stake" He
went on to say that he agreed with
the words of NJ Julien Goujon. a
previous speaker, that the nation has
duty of legitimate defense. which
its representatives must undertake on
It's behalf and the government must
accordingly take the responsibility OF
action. 1t remained to be seen whether
the proposal now brought forward
would prove as effective as was hoped.
but if it had any prospect of doing
good parliament ought to vote for it.
The government would be mourning
a grave responsibility if it did not
associate itself with this proposal.
The government indeed earnestly de
sired that the senate should pass to
the discussion of the clauses of the
bill, and it had decided TO accept and
support all measures which were cal
culated to safeguard the country from
the perils Of alcoholism, to enforce the
law against drunkenness and to pro-
'ect all societies which promoted the
enti-alcohol propaganda
In the general discussion the views
OF those who opposed the bill were
expressed by NJ. Berard. who de

DISFIGURED WITH ECZEMA

Our little boy Gilbert was troubled
with eczema when but few weeks
old His little face was covered with
sores even to back of his ears The
poor little fellow suffered very much
The sores began as pimples, his lit.
tie face was disfgured very much.
We hardly knew what he looked like
The face looked like raw meat We
tied little bags of cloth over his
hands to prevent him from scratching.
He was very restless at night, his
little face itched.
I'VE consulted two doctors at Chi
cago, where We resided at that time.
After trying all the medicine of the
two doctors without any result, we
read Of the Cuticura Remedies, and at
once bought the Cuticura Soap and
Ointment. Following the directions
carefully and promptly we saw the re-
suit, and after four weeks the dear
child's face was as fine and clean as
any little baby's face. Every one who
saw Gilbert after using the Cuticura
Remedies was surprised. He has a
head of hair which is q pride for any
boy of his age, three years. We can
only recommend the Cuticura Rene
dies to everybody" (Signed) Mrs. H.

ALCOHOL AN AID TO CANCER
English Scientist Makes Some Striking
Statements on influence of
Drink to Disease.

Sir Alfred Pearce Gould, senior sur.
geon of the Middlesex hospital in Eng
land, recently delivered before the
Royal College of Surgeons of England
the twenty-ninth annual Bradshaw lee
ture, the subject being Cancer" and
made striking statements as to the in
fuence Of alcohol in this dread dis
ease
In the course of the lecture the
great scientist said that the influence
Of alcohol on the incidence of cancer
was very important. 1t was a factor
in producing cancer by directly or in
directly causing chronic irritation. It
Iectly inteTfered with, and mars all
cell life Statistics showed that the
disease was twice as frequent among
brewers and pubiicans as among
clergymen, and that the cancer Incl
dence in any trade varied with the
attendant habits as regarded alcohol.
With regard to these various condi.
tons, Sir Alfred expressed the opinion
that clinical experience and expert
mental pathology threw some ray of
hope across the dark sea of malign-
ant disease. The deep impress of the
primal laws OF development held tho
cells of tissue in true and loyal obedi-
ence to the very end in the almost in
finite majority Of cases, and made
them more liable to cancer. Like age,
chronic irritation and prolonged use
of X-rays, alcohol wore out the cells
of a part and deteriorated the evou-
ton Of the individual cell The lee
turer stated that 10 per cent of all
people contract cancer.
