FINAL FIGHT FOR RECIPROCITY
IN THE SENATE
GORE WOULD AMDNDB1LL
Finance Committee Reports Bill Back
to Senate Without Recommenda-
tions Favorable or Otherwise
— Other News of Interest
Washington, D. C.—The battle line
on the Canadian reciprocity agreement
were squarely drawn in the senate
when, in accordance with agreement,
Chairman Penrose of the finance com-
mittee, reported the bill without rec-
ommendation, favorable and adverse
views were presented by senators and
the way was cleared for the long siege
of discussion in opposition in open ses-
sion.
Mesrs. McCumber and LaF'ollette
submitted reports outlining their indi-
vidual views as to reciprocity and Mr.
Williams presented the views of him-
self and Messrs. Stone and Kern fav-
orable to the measure. The debate will
begin Wednesday with speeches in op-
position to the bill by Senators Curtis
and McCumber.
The exchange of views on the bill
was general Mr. Dixon expressed sur-
prise and erfret that the committee
had not been able to bring in a recom-
mendation for or against the bill.
Senator Heyburn stated the facts
regarding the motion in committee to
report the bill adversely. He said
that he had presented this motion and
that it had been lost by a tie vote of
7 to 7, thus rendering an opposing re-
port imposible, while at the same time
approaching very near to -the one.
Mr. Gore introduced an amendment
'.o the bill which would place Canadian
flour, meal, meats and agricultural im-
plements on the free list, but said lie
would not press the provision if it be-
came evident that its adoption would

ued dry weather.

Iho city market tliey sold for $2 8r, a

Famous Service Sold
London.—The famous Elizabethan
banquet service of twenty-two pieces
was sold at Christies, for $57,000. The

A trial package of Munyon 8 1 aw Paw ^
Pills will be sent free to anyone on r \
quest. Address Professor Mnnyon, 53d A
JelTerson Sts., Philadelphia, Pa. If you ars •
in need of medical advice, dc not fail to
write Professor Mun.von. Your communi-
cation will be treated in strict confidence,
and your case will he diagnosed a care-
fully as though you bad a personal inter-
view.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are unlike
all other laxatives or cathartics. They .
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They do not scour, they do
not gripe, they do not .weaken, but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
[nil stomach in a way that soon puts
these organs in a healthy condition^ and
corrects constipation. In my opinion
constipation is responsible for most ail-
ments. There are 26 feet of human
bowels, which is really a sewer pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system becomes poisoned, caus-
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidney ailments. No woman who
suffers with constipation or any liver
ailment can expect to have a clear
complexion or enjoy good health. If
I had my way I would prohibit the sale
of nine tenths of the cathartics that are
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the stomach,
sotting up serious forms of indigestion,
and so paralyze the bowels that they re-
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgatives.
Munyon's Paw Paw Pills are a tonio
to the stomach, liver and nerves. They
invigorate i/istead of weaken; they en-
rich the blood Instead of Impoverish
it; they enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel, no
dope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowel*
to act without physic.
