If a man _ gets up in the . morning with a foul taste and sluggish ; ,, _ minute he steps ad; if his breakfast doesn’t taste r, e feels“ utterly 'in‘ca able of work, a agpretty sure sign that his digestion is out‘ of order—that his principal trouble is constipation. If he lets this condition run on, there is no telling where it will stop. Nine-tenths of all human sickness comes from constipation. The first thing that every doctor asks when he is called to see a patient is whether the bowels are in good order. It is‘gnoiis‘ense to call a doctor fol such a simple" thing. It is nonsense to let such a simple-thing grow into such a. serious thing, as it always does if neglected. _Dr. Pierws Pleasant Pellets cure constipation. They not only afl'ord immediate and pleas- ant relief from all the distressmg symp- toms, but they cure permanently and p051- tively. There are 10,000 medicines that can be taken, to give temporary relief. The " Pleasant Pellets ” are the only things that really cure. There are plenty of druggists who will try to sell you Something else. You know just as well a ‘_,.we do that an honest druggist woul j‘_’t do such a thing—— that an honest druggist would give you what you ask for. You know that when a druggist insists on giving you something else, there must be a reason for it. We know what that reason is—he makes a big- ger profit on the other thing. Any drug- gist in America'will supply the “Pellets" i£y§ insist on it. ' N The People’s Common Sense “ ., Medical Adviser, in plain En- ‘ glish, or Medicine Simplified by . R.V.

Washington, April 2.-—-The president today sent to the senate the following ‘ nominations: State—Andrew D. White of New York, to be embassador eitraordinary and plenipotentiary of the United States to Germany; William F. Draper of Massachusetts, to be embassador extraordinary and plenipote-ntiary of. the United States to Italy; Chandler Hale of Maine, to be secretary of the embassy of the United States at Rome; \ “is. -- _'// ANDREW D.

Howell of New Jersey, to be assistant secretary of the treasury. of Tarifi‘ Bill In the Senate. Washington,’ April 2.—The tariff bill passed by the house of representatives yesterday was received by the senate as soon as the session opened today. There were no formalities as to its ref- erence and without motion or comment the presiding officer, Mr. Hobart, re- ferred the bill to the committee on finance. Mr. Hale (Rep, Me.) secured imme— diate consideration for a. joint resolu- tion directing the s'ecretary of the navy to use a government vessel or charter a private vessel for the transportation of contributions of grain, etc., to the famine stricken people Of India. Mr. Stewart (Pop, Nev.) took occa- sion to speak briefly on the demonetiza- tion of silver in India, brought about by England, as one of the chief causes of the present lamentable condition of af- fairs in India. This led to a. somewhat unexpected statement by Mr. Morgan Of Alabama, who caused a temporary flurry. He began by remarking that this resolu- tion proposed an appropriation from the United States treasury for the aid of the suffering people Of India. Mr. Hale endeavoredto explain that this was done merely to give contri- butions already given by the generosity of the American. people. Goods were now awaiting shipment at New York and other points. Proceeding, Mr. Morgan said he fully recognized the nobility of these bene— factions. He had approved sending corn to Ireland and to Russia. These inhumane movements brought the world together in sentiments of good will. ‘fBut,” continued Mr. Morgan, “I shall l’rdpe to secure the support of the series tor from Maine (Hale) when I intro- dime a resolution to send supplies to the‘suffering people of Cuba, who are penned up in that island through the harsh policies of General Weyler.” Mr. ’MOrgan expressed the further hope that 'Mr. Hale would be found among the supporters of a resolution for send; ing supplies to the people penned up in Crete, through the tyrannical action of the European powers. Mr. Hale's Reply. Mr. Hale responded that these ques- tions would be met as they arose. There was no politics in this resolution. It voiced the general sentiment of God- speed tO the relief for these poor peo- ple. The resolution was then agreed to without division. A spirited debate followed on several new phases of the Cuban question. Mr. Allen (Pop., Neb.) presented a resolution reciting that General Rivera of the Cuban forces had been captured by the Spanish and was about to be tried by drumhead court martial. and shot and protesting .against such trial as contrary to the rules of civilized war- fare. Mr. Allen asked for immediate consideration of the resolution. Mr. Hoar (Rep, 'Mass.) suggested that the resolution go to the committee on foreign relations. Mr. Allen would not consent to such a. reference. If the life of this man was to be saved, there must be speedy action. There was no time for the slow proced— Ure Of that committee. ' Mr. Morgan introduced a resolution recognizing a state of war in Cuba and according belligerent rights to Spain and Cuba. It went over until tomor- row. _ The resolution heretofore offered by him calling for information as to the Gomez letters to Presidents McKinley and Cleveland was accepted by the senate.
