told the senate that the farmers have
little interest in Canadian reciprocity.
"In every test that I have made for
the purpose of finding out the senti

said the senator, I have found that
there is an indifference as to whether
the bill becomes a law or is defeated.
Of course there are some farmers
who oppose the measure, but I think
their opposition is so slight, when
compared with the sentiment through
out the state, as to be allium neglig
ible.' President Taft reviewed the action
of President Hayes in a pardon ease

FIFTEEN CASES IN HOSPITAL
Public Charges Made Against Health

NOT FOR MRS. PILKINS0N
New York. Although, the cholera
situation at quarantine is at present
regarded by Dr. Alvah H. Doty, health
officer of the port, as being well in
band he did not conceal his apprehen
sion that New York is "in the very
midst of a threatened invasion of
cholera."
"The quarantine department of
every pert in this country is facing a
very serious and onerous task during
the summer," said Dr. Doty, "and it is
not improbable that many vessels ar
riving from Italy in the next few
weeks will bring one or moro cases
of the disease."
Today's official report of the situa
tion shows there are fifteen eases in
Swinburne Island hospital, and fout
cases symptomic of the disease. With
in twenty-four hours one more' victim
has died. The steamer Perugia has
been detained and the medical staff is
preparing to make bacteriological ex

against Dr. Doty are being investigat
ed by a commission, made public a

commission, suggesting the latter call
upon Governor Dix to take charge o!
the health officer's department.
In a statement in reply to an inter
iew attributed by a morning paper to
Judge Bulger, Dr. Doty reviewed the
situation and pointed to the clement
of danger.
"The statements attributed to Judge
Bulger." Dr. Doty says, "are calculat

Wife of Husband, Drafted for the
Wa'r, Looked With Disfavor on
Proffered Substitute.
Mr. Pilkinson, a small farmer in
Pennsylvania, was drafted for the
services of his country during thoo
Civil war. His wife, though she pos
sessed but a small stock of informa
tion, was one of the best conjugal
partners, and she was much troubled
at the thought of parting with her
husband. As she was engaged in
scrubbing off her doorsteps, a rough
looking stranger came up and thus
addressed her:
"I hear, ma'am, that your husband
bas been drafted."
"Yes, sir, he has," answered Mrs.
Pilkinston, "though, dear knows,
there's few men that couldn't better
be spared from their families."
"Well, ma'am, I've come to offer
myself as a substitute for him."
"A what?" asked Mrs. Pilkinston,
with some excitement.
"I'm willing to take his place," said
the stranger.
"You take the place of my husband,
you wretch: I'll teach you to insult a
distressed woman that way, you vaga
bond," cried Mrs. Pilkerston, as she
discharged the dirty soapsuds in the
face of the discomfited and astonished
substitute, who took to his heels just
in time to escape having his head
broken by the bucket.

There will be at least 200,000,000
bushels of wheat harvested within the
area of the three provinces above
named this year and it is expected
that the yield will run rrom 15 to 25
bushels per acre. Many farmers, this
year, will net, as a result of their
labors, as much as $8 to $10 per acre
and many of them will deposit as
profits as much as $8,000 to $10,000.
The wide publicity that has been
given to the excellent crop that Is be

Jefferson Sts.. Philadelphia, Pa. If you am
in need of medical advice, do not fail to
write Profeor Mum on. Your communi
cation will be treated in ftrict confidence,
and your cae will be dir.jrnofred as care
fully as though you had a personal ictei
view. Munyon Paw Pa.v Pills are unlilze
all other laxatives or cathartics. They
coax the liver into activity by gentle
methods. They ilo not scour, they do
not gripe, they do not weaken, but they
do start all the secretions of the liver
and Htomach in a way that noon puts
thee organs in a healthy condition and
corrects constipation. In my opinioc
constipation it responsible for most ail
ments. There are 26 feet of hurnai
bowels, which is really a M?ucr pipe.
When this pipe becomes clogged the
whole system liecomes poisoned, caus
ing biliousness, indigestion and impure
blood, which often produce rheumatism
and kidnev ailments. No woman who
j suffers with con&tipation or any liver
ailment can eijoct to have a clear
complexion or enjoy good health. Ii
I had my way I would prohibit ihe sale
of nine-tenths of the cathartics that arc
now being sold for the reason that they
soon destroy the lining of the -tomacb,
setting up serious form', of indication,
and o paralyse the bowels that they re
fuse to act unless forced by strong
purgathes.
Munjon's Paw Paw Pills are a ton:c
to the stomaeh, liver aud nerves. They
invigorate instead of weaken; they en
rich the blood Instead of impoverish
it; th-y enable the stomach to get all
the nourishment from food that is put
into it.
These pills contain no calomel, no
tfope; they are soothing, healing and
stimulating. They school the bowele
lo act without physic.
