Poisoned by Thousands!

The victims of decentralization are
many thousand every day. BY reason
of the toxins, or poisons, bred in the
intestines, these poisonous bacteria are
sent all thru the blood channels and the
victim feels tired, sleepy and headacfy,
or the brain doesn't work as usual. The
best treatment fof this is to drink hot
water before breakfast - plenty of
water all the day long. And procure a
supply of "Pleasant Pellets" made
of May apple, leaves of alioes, ETC.,
with no calomel and entirely vegetable,
which can be obtained at almost any
drug store fof o5 cents a! vial. Invented
by DR.. Pierce forty or fifty years ago.
Equally important is it 10 cleanse kid
neys and bladder, and drinking plenti-
fully of pure water will cleanse them to
a certain extent. Then obtain at the
drug store little Am,ric. This is. to
be had in 50-cent packages at almost any
pharmacy. Anuric should be taken be-.
fore meals and you will soon find the
wonderful effects, as it is many times
more potent than litl,ia and seems to
dissolve uric acid as water does sugar.

'Filibusters Against Armed

o'clock this morning. after a recess OF

formally before tho senate the armed
neutrality measure reported by the
committee, which would authorize the
president to arm American ships and

Agreement Reached.

Finally the Wisconsin senator was
induced to withdraw his objection on
condition that there should be no at
tempt to pass the bill before Friday.
When Democratic leaders agreed to
this the committee presented the bill
with favorable report and Senator
Stone asked that it lay over until Fri
day.
Then the senate adjourned until 10
o'clock this morning (Thursday). the
majority abandoning plans for taking
up the naval appropriation bill.
There was no indication what would
be the attitude of Senator LaFollette
when the bill comes before the senate
for action. The DEMOCRATS are taking
it for granted that ne would oppose
it, but hope he will not undertake to
force an extra session by persistent
filibustcr. ..#@

Extra Session.


During the closing debates on the
revenue bill there We're protests from
the Republican ranks against the tao
tics Of their leaders. Senators Fall
and Borah told their colleagues they
We're tired of dilatory tactics: that
they believed there was business re-
curing an extra session. but would
oppose any effort to filibuster against
the armed neutrality measure and did
not want to see time wasted in con-
sidoring the big supply bills.
The Democrats had no intention of
trying to force the armed neutrality
bill to n vote tonight as it is desired
that the house pass it first because
of the bond issue provision it contains.
The house is expected to act under a
special rule late today.
