TORRID WEATHER TELLING ON
LONG WINDED SENATE
RECIPROCITY WILL BE GAINER
Possible Ending of Debate Within
Ten Days or a Fortnight Set
Speech i n Opposition by
Senator Gronna
Washington A more general senti
ment for expeditious action on the
Canadian reciprocity wool revision
and free list bills is apparent after in
formal coHferences among various1
groups of senators and six hours of
continuous debate in the superheated
chamber of the senate It was the first
of the longer sessions under the deci
sion of the senate to meet one hour
earlier than usual in order to hasten
action on the legislative program Sen
ator Gronna of North Dakota an insur
gent republican after a long speech
in opposition to the agreement during
which he clashed frequently with the
advocates of the measure was forced
to give up almost exhausted and the
senate almost immediately afterwards
adjourned
The informal discussion among sen
ators indicated that the present feel
ing doubtless influenced to some ex-
tent by the existing hot wave is that
debate may be brought to an end with
in ten days or a fortnight and that
when the reciprocity bill is passed the
democrats will be willing to vote on
the wool and free list bills without
any extended debate and adjourn al
most immediately The insurgent re
publicans are still holding out how
ever for other legislation

the intense heat in the interior and
northern part of the country east of
the Rockies is doing much damage to
crops generally according to the crop
weather report issued by the weather
bureau The report states that in the
corn growing states west of the Mis
sissippi the continued lack of gener
al and heavy rain is being severely
felt
The drouth is still largely un
broken in Missouri ami it s becoming
serious in Iowa and portions of Kan
sas and Nebraska where there was
an entire absence of any beneficial
rains In Oklahoma a severe drouth
covers nearly the entire state and
rain is needed in Arkansas In the
corn growing states east of the Miss

ture in the soil from the rather gener
al rains of the preceding week At
the close of the week the ground was
again dry and rain is needed in nearly
all portions of those states

heat the price of corn jumped up 4
cents a bushel For the same reason
cats made a skyward leap of 22V
cents
The corn market was boiling with

directions but sellers were scarce
The flurry received greater impetus
from the fact that Kansas City re
ported an advance of 5 cents a bushel
straight

HOLDING ON GAINS NOTHING
Fourth of July Celebration by Tam
many Society Improved by Com
missioner Quezon to
Speak Mind
New York Members of the Tam
many society who gathered in the
Fourteenth street wigwam Tuesday to
participate in the annual Declaration
of Independence celebration listened
to the eloquent plea of Manuel L
Quezon resident commissioner of the
Philippine islands for the freedom of
his countrymen Either give my
countrymen its independence or else
cease celebrating the anniversary of
the signing of the Declaration of Inde
pendence was the pith of his ad
dress
Is it an irony of fate that I a Fili
pino belonging to and representing a
people subject to the United States
he queried should address an Amer
ican audience on the celebration of
the Declaration of Independence
From the Filipino viewpoint Com
missioner Quezon said the Declaration
of Independence is a solemn pledge of
American national faith and honor
It is the baptismal vow of this coun
try he exclaimed and then contin
ued
Since the Declaration of Indepen
dence and by the overwhelming influ
ence cf its doctrines republics have
been founded upon the wrecks of des
potism and constitutional govern
ments are finding their way in both
hemispheres even in countries where
absolutism seemed to have been firm
ly rooted In the Philippines itself
the cry of the people for freedom so
deeply felt because of the born desire
in every human heart to breathe the
healthy air of liberty is argued with
the very words of the declaration

HEART RIGHT
When He Quit Coffee
Life Insurance Companies will not
Insure a man suffering from heart
trouble
The reason is obvious
This is a serious matter to the hus
band or father who is solicitous for
the future of his dear ones Often
the heart trouble is caused by an un
expected thing and can be corrected if
taken in time and properly treated A
man in Colorado writes
I was a great coffee drinker for
many years and was not aware of the
Injurious effects of the habit till I
became a practical invalid suffering
from heart trouble indigestion and
nervousness to an extent that made
me wretchedly miserable myself and
a nuisance to those who witnessed my
sufferings
I continued to drink coffee how
ever not suspecting that it was the
cause of my ill health till on applying
for life insurance I was rejected on ac
count of the trouble with my heart
Then I became alarmed I found that
leaving off coffee helped me quickly so
I quit it altogether and having been
attracted by the advertisements of
Postum I began its use
The change in my condition was re
markable All my ailments vanished
My digestion was completely restored
my nervousness disappeared and
most important of all my Tieart stead
ied down and became normal and on a
second examination I was accepted by
the Life Insurance Co Quitting coffee
and using Postum worked the change
