plague the American farmers this
summer. after being absent since
1894. have made their appearance in
the vicinity of New York City.

In the last previous visit the locusts

The individual hocusts lived only n

S!:sCROFUL.A
HEREDITARY BLOOD POISON

Scrofula is a disease manifested
usually by swelling and liberation
OF the glands. especially about the
neck. 1t is almost entirely hereditary
in its origin. being the dregs or re-
mains of some specific blood poison.
Where the blood is greatly weakened
with the scrofulous poison, the disease
attacks other portions of the system
besides the glands, aud then we see its
effects in weak eyes, poorly developed
bodies, running sores and ulcers, skin
diseases, especially on the scalp, ca
tarrhal troubles, etc. Scrofula usually
makes its appearance in childhood,
though manhood or womanhood may
be reached before the poison pro-
crosses to the stage of outward mani
iestation. S. S. S. is the one real cure
Tor Scrofula. 1t is a blood purifier
without an equal, and it cures this
destructive blood poison by removing
every trace of the infection from the
circulation. SIS. S., in addition to

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE Cana
dian reciprocity tariff agreement
passed the house by vote Of 22l to
80. President TAFT scoring a more
decisive victory than even he had
anticipated.
The bill will reach the senate, UNI
der supervision OF the representative
who was in charge OF it in the house.
II Is believed the overwhelming vote
for 1t in the house will have its effect
on the senate and that the upper
house OF congress Will not dare, In tho
face of the evident desire of the coun
try to have the legislation as shown
by it's support in the lower or popu'
lar branch to smother it in commit
tee or TO take hostile attitude to-
ward It.
Some Republicans Absent.
In the final vote on the passage oil
the bill 70 Republicans and i42
Democrats voted for 1T and 81 Repnb'
licaus and Democrats vote against
it. The Republicans were nearly
evenly divided while the Democrats
represented almost an unbroken front.
The Democrats got out li7 OF their
total members to vote on the bill
while the Republicans had only l66 OF
their membership present.
The victory came for the great
peace trade pact with Canada after a
day of stormy debate which ended in
a turmoil when Boutelle for the COM
mittee on rules, presented rule cut
ting off debate and amendments and
providing for the taking of an i'm
mediate vote
The Gag Rule Used.
During recent sessions Of congress
the Democrats and progressives have
fought all such cloture or gag rules
on the ground that they prevent duo
consideration of pending measure.
The rule was finally adopted on roll
call by vote of 1873 to 107 after a
stormy debate. This disheartened the
opponents of the measure to the ex-
tent that little effort was made there
after to prolong the fight. Mr.. Dalzell
moved to recommit the bill with in.
structions to the committee on ways
and means to amend it by including
on the free list fresh meats, flour,
bran, mill feed agricultural imple-
ments, cotton, ties and bagging and
lumber.
All these articles have been de-
manded free by the Democrats in for
mer lists on the tariff bills and Mr..
DalzelI hoped to win support for his
amendment from them. But earlier
in the day Champ Clark had warned
his followers against such tactics and
they voted their full strength against
the motion, which was lost by lsl Is
Ia. Fordney of Michigan made
strong plea against the bill on behalf
OF the lumber interests.

The first real Mexican parade ever
seen in the intermountain country is
the opening feature of the big Spanish
festival which begins at Saltair today.
The parade will move promptly at -
o clock and will pass through the prin-
cipal streets Of the city during the noon
hour. Every member of the troupe,
including the three matadors, has CON
sented TO appear in the parade and with
one or two exceptions il will be the
first time they have ever done so. In
Mexico it would be considered a dis
grace for toreador TO appear in a
street parade and it was with consid
erable difficulty that they were per
suaded to appear here, The costume
Felix Robert will wear was presented
to him by the queen of Spain 1t is
SAID to be valued at $2500. Paqulra

the troupe, each have suits that cost
