Dementia Saponifica — Mani- fests itself during house clean- ing. A sharpattack is brought on when the subject steps upon a cake of soap at the head of the stairs and breaks his fall and his watch crystal and sometimes a rib or two against the floor fifteen feet below. Patient should be kept in the cellar or induced to try outdoor life until after house- cleaning, to ward off attacks. Demential Diamonditis—When attack is at its height patient in- sists upon sitting on a hard board, with no rest for his back, stamping his feet and yelling for some one to line her out, or for some one else, who he character- izes as an ice wagon, to come on home. After the violent stage, | which occurs between 3 and 6 p. m., he is apt to indulge in pro- longed discussion of the acts of some one whom be insists is a! robber and a blind man. Noj remedy. Dementia Gardeniansis—Inter- mittent in its mamfestations,| sometimes not affecting the pa- tient for years at a time, then breaking out virulently. Cha | to prie st | $6.35@6.50; | $6.15@6.70; acterized by an insistence upon digging up the yard and plant- ing all kinds of seeds and vege- tables. Runs its course usually in two weeks. FOR HIS SUMMER VACATION President Will Leave Washington on June 12. ‘Washington, April f4.—President Roosevelt will leave Washington for his summer home at Oyster Bay on June 12. This is much earlier than has been the practice of the president to leave Washington for the summer, but he feels that public business is in such shape that he can conveniently do so. He looks forward to a long period of rest and recreation. Secre- tary Loeb said that no speeches were to be made by the president after he leaves Washington until he goes to Canton, O., for the unvelling of the McKinley monument Sept. 30. From Canton the president will return to Washington for the fall and winter season. The president is to make two speeches on Georgla day at the James- town exposition on June 10. One of these is to be at the opening of the Georgia building and the other before the National Editorial association. He will reach Washington on the 11th from Jamestown and on the following morning go to Oyster Bay. Serious Drought in Porto Rico. San Juan, P.

CHRONIC ULCERS EXTERNAL EVIDENCE OF INTERNAL POISON Whenever a sore or ulcer refuses to heal, it is a sure sign of a diseased condition of the blood. The sore itself is simply an outside evidence of some internal poison, and the only way to cure it is to remove the deep underlying cause. Sores and Ulcers originate usually from a retention in the system of bodily waste matters and impurities. These should pass off through the natural avenues of waste, but because of a sluggish condition of the different members they are retained in the system to be taken up by the blood. This vital fluid soon becomes unhealthy or diseased, and the skin gives way in some weak place and a Sore or Ulcer is formed. The con- stant drainage of impurities through a sore causes it to fester, grow red and inflamed and eat deeper into the surrounding flesh, and often there is severe pain and some discharge. S.S.S. PURELY VEGETABLE pure S. 8. 8. is the remedy for Sores and Ulcers, It is nature’s blood purifier, made entirel§ of vegetable matter, known to be specifics for all blood diseases and disorders. S. S. £. goes down to the very bottom of the trouble, and removes the poison and im- matter, so that the sore is no longer fed with impurities, but is nourished and ) cleansed with a stream of healthy, rich blood. Then the place begins to heal, new flesh is formed, the inflamma- tion subsides, and when S. 8. S, has thoroughly cleansed the circulation the place heals permanently. Special book on Sores and Ulcers and any medical advice desired will be sent free to all who write.

St. Paul, April 23.—With amend- ments making a net change of $36,900, the omnibus appropriation bill was passed in the house a few minutes be- fore midnight last night. The bill as introduced carried aggregate appro- priations of $11,500,000. The bill, introduced at the morning session, was made a special order for 3 o’clock and the house worked on the bill from then until midnight with a recess for supper. When the bill had been gone over item for item, with a fight made on almost every section, the total amount added to the bill was only $74,800, while $37,900 had been stricken out, leaving a net increase of $36,900. The principal items inserted were $40,000 for a bridge over Minnehaha glen at the soldiers’ home and $10,000 for a silver service or other mmeorial for the battleship Minnesota. The $25,000 provided for a light and power plant for the state fair grounds was the only large item stricken out. Although some members, notably R. H. Jefferson of Bingham Lake and El- mer A. Adams of Fergus Falls, made it a point to fight evervthing in the bill, the principal fight was on the ap- propriation for the state fair. Every item In that section was attacked, but the power plant was the only one stricken out. A. J. Bockne of Zum- brota led in the fight on these ap- propriations. Bill for State Tax Levy. In connection with the appropriation bill, the bill for the state tax levy was introduced at the morning session and placed on the calendar. It provides for an annual tax levy of $1,500,000, or a rate of 1.5 mills. It is believed. however, that this will have to be amended so as to make it 1.7 mills in order to raise sufficient revenue for the state. The tax levy last year was only 1.2 mills. “I consider this a sort of graft, hut I baven’t the moral courage to vote against it,” said G. B. Higgins of Min- neapolis when the resolution appro- priating $150 each for Rose Bartell and Rose O’Regan, employes at the legislative telephone room came up in the house. Some of the members said it was not a graft, some said it ‘was a custom, some said the girls had carned the money. The resolution passed with only a half dozen votes against it. A committee to investigate the committee which has investigated the Minnesota Shippers and Receivers’ as- sociation was appointed by the house after a resolution appropriating $335 for the expense of the committee had been voted down by the house. The resolution provided $117 for expenses of the sergeant-at-arms, $160 for the fees of G. W. Armstrong, an attorney, and $58 for incidental expenses of the chairman, 8. D. Peterson of New Ulm. After the resolution had been voted down it was reconsidered, as it was considered proper to pay what the sergeant-at-arms had paid out of his own pocket. The house refused to accede to the request of the senate for the return of the anti-pass bill for correction and in- sisted that the senate appoint a com- mittce to meet the conference commit- tee appointed hy the house. Road and Bridge Bill Passed. The omnibus road and bridge appro- propriation bill was passed by the sen- ate. The house passed the bill first and when it came into the senate it was substituted for the senate bill and passed without amendment, although there was a little opposition to the manner in which the division among the countries was made. This was restricted to questions mostly and no serious objection was made to the bill, which received forty-four votes, with none against it. The bill divides $200,- 000 a year among the eighty-five coun- ties of the state for each of the next two years. The money will be ex- pended by the county commissioners of each county. The senate allowed the claims of Senator J. M. Hackney and of Pierce Butler of St. Paul for $1,000 for their expenses in the contest for Senator Hackney’s seat. The senate laid on the table the house resolution demanding the nomi- nation and re-election of president Roosevelt for another term. The reso- lution was called up by Senator M. L. Fosseen of Minneapolis and its adop- tion was proposed. Senator J. F. Cal- houn, also of Minneapolis, moved as a substitute motion that the resolu- tion be laid on the table, which pre- vailed on a rising vote. ‘When a farmer .or one of his “boys” over twenty-one years of age goes out in the morning to shoot a few ducks he will have to have a license or be in danger of arrest by the game warden. This phase of the game and fish law amendments con- tained in H. F. No. 651 was the burden of most of he arguments in the sen- ate. It took some parliamentary ma- neuvering and much argument, but the bill as reported by the conference committee finally passed by a vote of 84 yeas and 21 nays. CAPITALIZED ABOVE VALUE Legislative Report on Probe of Min- nesota Railroads. Bt. Paul, April 2 .—The report of the Sundberg committee, appointed to investigate the.value and cost of oper- ation of the railroads in Minnesota, has been made to the senate. Itis a voluminous document, covering twen- ty-one typewritten pages. Summarized the conclusions of the committee are as follows: “The total value of the railroad property in Minnesota is in round num- \ N | ) FRIEND TO FRIEND The personal 7ccommendations of peo ple who have been cured of coughs and colds by Chamberlain's Cough Remedy have done more than all else to make it a staple article of trade and commerce over 8 large part of the civilized world. Barker’s Drug Store bers $215,000,000. This is approxi- mately $27,000 per mile. This prop- erty is capitalized to the extent of about $400,000,000, over $50,000 per mile on an average. “The railroads in Minnesota re- ceived in land grants from the state and federal governments over 14,000, 000 acres of land. “In view of the facts disclosed we earnestly recommend that a committee or commission be empowered to inves- tigate generally into the capitalization of the railroads of Minnesota and the relation the stocks and bonds bear to the value thereof and the enactment of such appropriate legislation as the conditions disclosed demand.” Capital Stock Cut in Two. Augusta, Me., April 2 .—The author- ized capital stock of the Nipissing Mine company was reduced one-half, to $6,000,000, at an adjourned meeting of the company here. opposition. The $6,000,000 of stock thus retired never had been issued. BRIEF BITS OF NEWS. Thomas W. Bishop, one of the best known newspaper men in South Da- kota, is dead of paralysis at Salem, S. D.
