PRESIDENT’S MES
SAGE REBUKED.
SENATE AND HOUSE NOT
PLEASED WITH PRESIDENT’S
LANGUAGE IN MESSAGE.
Washington, Deo. 11.—Numerous
conferences were held at the capital
relating to the president’s message to
congress and his recommendations
concerning the secret serrice, in
wihlch he used language which is ob
jected to by senators and representa-
tlres. The last of theee conferences
was at the office of Speaker Cannon
and was attended by the speaker and
Senators Aldrich and Hale.
It was practically decided that a
resolution should be Introduced In the
house today, providing for the ap
pointment of a committee to consider
the recommendations made for a res
toration of the law regarding the se
cret service and also to take account
of the expressions in the message
which were offensive to members of
congress.
Indications point now to no action
by the senate on the meeeage until
after the house special committee has
had an opportunity to Investigate the
entire matter.
At a conference at the senate end
of the capitol there were a number of
republican senators present who have
always been ready to defend any criti
cism made of the president. They an
nounced their decided opposition to
suggestions which had been made that
aB that part of the presMent’s mes
sage which has given offense should
be expunged from the record. At the
Mime time, they annotmeed that they
would not oppose any resolution pro
viding for an Investigation by the ap
propriations committee of the amend
ment adopted last year.

Among the questions to which
Count von Bernstorff would not re
ply was one relating to the message

tion to Mr. Roosevelt, to visit Berlin

Malaria is due to impurities and poisons in the blood. Instead of
rich, strong and healthy, the circulation has become infected with germs of
disease which destroy the rich, red corpuscles that furnish nourishment and
strength to the body, and reduced this vital fluid to such a weak, watery
condition that it is no longer able to keep the system in health, or ward off
the countless diseases and disorders that assail it. The loss of thfe
red corpuscles takes the color and glow of health from the cheek, and we
see pale, sallow faces and washed out, chalky complexions among the first
symptoms of Malaria. But Malaria if a general systemic disease, and as
the blood becomes more heavily loaded with its genus we have more serious
and complicated symptoms; the impure blood having its effect on all parts
of the body. The appetite fails, digestion is weakened, chills and slight
fever are frequent, and the sufferer loses energy and ambition because of a
constant tired-out and “ no account ” feeling. The lack of necessary nour
ishment and healthful qualities in
the blood causes boils and abscesses,
skin affections, and in some cases
sores and ulcers to break out, and
sometimes the patient is prostrated
with a spell of malarial fever which
may leave his health permanently
impaired. To cure Malaria both a
blood purifier and tonic are necessary,
in order to remc . i the cause and at
the same time build up the system
from its weakened and run-down
condition. S. S. S. is !he medicine
best fitted for this wor. It is the
most perfect of all blood ( rrifiers, and
the purely vegetable ing iients of
which it is composed make it the
During 1M0 I was running a farm OQ
tha Mississippi river and became so impreg
nated with Malaria that for a Tear I was
almost a physical wreck. I tried a number
of medicines recommended as blood purifi
ers, chill cures, and Malaria eradicated,
but nothing did me any good until I began
to use S. S. S. The result was that after
taking it for awhile I was as well and
strong as I ever was. I have never had a
chill since nor the slightest symptom of
Malaria. I hope other* will be benefited
by my experience, and with that end in

greatest and safest of all tonics.
S. S. S. goes down into the circulation and removes every trace of impnrity
or poison, and at the same time gives to the blood the health-sustaining qual
ities it needs. It cures Malaria thoroughly and permanently because it
removes the germs and poij ons which produce the disease, and while doing
this tones up and strengthens every part of the system. When S. S. 8. has
cleansed the blood the symptoms pass away, the healthy color returns to
the complexion, the old tired, depressed feeling is gone, and the entire health
is renewed. Book with information about Malaria and any medical advice
