FULTON'S Hl'KKCII.
Kxtrnct From Senator Fulton'
Hlfcli In Hohuir oi IiwU
unit ClurW Fair.
Extract from speech of Senator
Fulton in his appeal to tho United
States seoato for an appropiation
for tho Lewis and Clark Centunnial
Exposition in Portland next year:
"Within comparative! recent
years Japan ban developed into a
great world power has taken a
leading position in the great pro
cession of tho nations of the
world. Her awakening has aroused
all the slumbering forces of the Far
East. China can not much longer
continue immune to the fever of
progress.
. It may work her political disso
lution; but. if it shall, then on the
ruins of the empire that for bo
many years has withstood the j
assaults of the- waves .of progress
and commercial and industrial de
velopment will bo founded other
statos that will prove more respon
aivH to the srrowiiiflr demands of
civilization.
Mr. President, we who reside on
tho l'acifio look forward to the
time, not far distant, when the
commerce of the Pacific will equal
that ot the Atlantic
With the completion of the isth
mian canal, and by reason of re
cent, events with which we bad
nothing to do and for which we
were in no wise responsible, but
which have boen wisely taken ad
vantage of by the present able Ad
ministration, its construction can
not now long be deferred, the prod
ucts of the great Mississippi and
Ohio valleys, floating down those
rivers to the Gulf, will be largely
transshipped for the ports and the
islands of the Orient and the Pa
cific seas, while that' great fertile
region beyond the mountains, find
ing' ready market for all its prod-
ucU in the multiplied demands of
the oriental trade, will support
population a dense and will throb
with an industrial and commercial
life as intense as any other portion
of our country
Mr. President, this is what we ol
the Pacific look forward to, and
having had these views and be
lieving all this, we belicvo it is the
duty of this nation to cultivate by
all feasible and practicable means
the commercial , friendship and
good will of all the nations border
ing on the Pacifio seas; and having
this purpose in mind, while we in
tend that this exposition shall be
commemorative of the great eyent
which has assured the title of this
nation to the Northwest Territory,
we have also determined that one
ot its most pronounced and dis
tinguishing features Bhall be the
bringing together of the peoples
and an exhibition of the products
of all the countries of the Orient.
In these purposes every section of
our country is equally interested
with another, and hence Bhould
equally join in the effort to bring
it about,
Now, in conclusion, Mr, Presi
dent, let me say that while this
Government has appropriated
many millions of dollars in aid of
expositions in almost every other
portion of our country, it has never
appropriated a single dollar in aid
of one on the Pacific coast."

The Love of Eating.
L IS THB AMERICAN BECOM
ING A GOURMAND t
In our largest cen
ters of population,
rnieh as New York and
Chicago, we daily see
more attention given
to the inner man.
Cafes and lunch-rooms are filled with men
and women who seem to give all their time
and attention to thoughts of properly ot
improperly feeding their stomachs. "It is
of course best to eat slowly, but not too
much," says Dr. Pierce, chief consulting
physician to the Invalids' Hotel and Sur
gical Institute, of Buffalo, N. Y. In this
20th century people devote so much time
to head work that their brain is fagged and
there isn't sufficient blood left to properly
take care of the other organs of the body.
The stomach must be assisted in its hard
work the liver started into action by the
use of a good stomach tonic, which should
be entirely of vegetable ingredients and
without alcohol. After years of experience
in an active practice, Dr. Pierce discovered
a remedy that suited these conditions in a
blood-maker and tissue-builder. He called
it Dr. Pieree's Golden Medical Discovery
an alterative extract that assists in the
digestion and assimilation of the food in
the stomach so that the blood gets what
it needs for food and oxidation, the liver is
at the same time started into activity and
there is perfect elimination of waste mat
ter. When the blood is pure and rich, all
the organs work without effort, and the
body is like a perfect machine.

March 4, 1903: "Having been troub

and tried one physician after another;
then different ointments and lina-

tried once more, and got a bottle of

me almost instant relief. X can cheer
