Austin, Tex, Mnrch ] "A sub-cOm-
mittce on constitutional amendments
from the house called upon the uttor-
ucy. generals office yesterday and sub
mittrd II question as to whether or
mot there was any constitutional au-
thurity for the legislature TO provide
for the election and maintenance of II
state prison and reformatOry and the
purchase OF state farms TO he worked
by conVicts under state supervision.
Judge Il. p. I'M OF the attorney
generals office declined to give any
opinion ON the subject In the absence
~ Mr.. Crane, the attorney general, but
In the discussion Judge Hlll called at
tentiun 10 the fact that Il were well
for the legislature to observe the dis
tlnction between the Federal consti-
tuition and our state constitution in
this that congress could exercise such
power only as is expressly granted by
the constitution and that n state com
stitution grants no power to loglsld-
ture but limits It's exercise, and that
II there was nothing In the constitution
OF Texas which either expressly or by
necessary Implication prohibit the
legislature from making provisions as
Indicated In the question propounded
by the committee then there would be
no reason why such provision could
not be made.
This was only an Informal sugges-
ton from Judge Hill and the coh,nlt-
tee decided to present a Joint resolution
amending the constitution to suit the
emergency.

bear the weight OF IT.. At first the change
for the better was very gradual; the pains
seemed to be less frequent and the swell
ing in some OF the joints suhsided after
using about one bottle. Then improve
ment was more rapid and one night she
surprised us greatly by telling us that we
need not prop her up in bed as we had
one for several months, and next night
sho surprised US still more by rolling
over across the bed. From that time on
improvement was Very Rapid
and she soon began to creep about the
house and then to walk on crutches. Now
she generally uses but one crutch, the dis
ease having left one leg crooked, and fear
it will remain So We feel that to Hood .

The lnclcment weather of the past
