Richards moved nn Imendment to strike out
the words " ( mmcl . food and clothIng " On that
point many of time populists tof te Issue with
the speaker and an extended debate followed.
Richards urged that the object of the bIll
was to seed the elate Barry called attention
to the fact that I was a long tme until
harvest and peopo : were likely to suffer.
Miles didn't want any feed or fuel gtven-the
destitute. Ho said the People of the easter
portion of the ftate were willing to "give"
the poor I of the west some seed , In order that
a crop might le raised , but ho opposed any-
thing for food cr fuel.
Scot ealell Miles down In a vigorous man-
ner. He saId I Miles would go cut Into the
northwest ho would lear more about the

A running fro oe luestons and answers
between Ccnawa and Suter ensued. In which
It was developed ! that time ccninmhslon now

of the relief commission , and that people
would actually starve wh\e waiting for the
growth of a crop. ,
The amendment of Speaker Richards was

I I cannot Hood's
praise Sarsaparll
enough for what i has done for my boy.
Some four ars ago , when six years old ,
George was attacked by hip disease in his
rIght leg. Wo had to get him a pall of
crutches , with which ho was able to move
about , but became badly deformed Wo
had to have his right leg lanced just above
the knee In a few weeks n second sore
broke out , both discharging freely. Agon-
izing pins afflicted him , ho could not boar
to be moved , his growth was stepped and
in n short tmo he was n memo skeloton.
lie had no appetite , and It was hard work
to make hIm cat enough to keep him alive .
A tow weeks later we had his hip lanced , I
amid following this five other eruptions '
broke out , making eight running sore In
all . Wo did all wo could for him , but ho
grow weaker ovary day , although wo had
three of the bet physicians As a last ro-
sort wo were prevailed upon by relatives
who had taken Hood's 8rsaplrln with
beneficIal results to give the medIcine n
trial. We got ono bottle about the frt
of March , and he had taken the medi-
clue only n few days when his appetite begun -
gun to improve When ho had taken ono
bottle he could move about n Ute with
his crutches , which ho had not been able
to use for the preceding three months. Wo
continued faithfuly with Ho d's Slrslpa-
111 , and In six months he was
Able to be Dressed
and go about the house without the
crutches. Ho has now taken Hood's Snr-
saparia regularly for eighteen months ,
and for the pat six month bas been with-
out the crutches , whlcl1 he bas outgrown
by several inches . The sores ba\oll healed
with the ccoptonof one which Is rapidly
closing , only the scar and nn occasional
limp remaining as reminders of his suffer-
Ing. Hood's SnrSAplr1a In his case has
truly done wonders , and he Is daily gaining -
Ing In flesh and good color. lie runs about
and plays as lively as any child . Wo feel
