A Modern
Lazarus

Inherited blood diseases are muci
more difficult to cure than those which
are acquired. One of the most common
hereditary diseases is Scrofula, which
the medical profession admit is mos
obstinate and deepseated. and their ef
forts to cure it meet with little success
A child afflicted with Scrofula is always
puny and sickly, and can never grow
into healthy manhood until the diseas'
is eliminated. Scrofula leads into con
sumption nine times out of ten, so tha
it is important for this reason that i'm
mediate attention be given to all chill
dren who inherit the slightest taint.
Mrs. S. S. Mabry, go Elm ST., Macon
Ca, writes:
"My boy. Charlie, inherited scrofu
lous blood taint, and from infancy wa
covered with terrible sores, his suffering
being such that it was impossible t
dress him for three years.

CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENTS
HEREAFTER MUST HAVE OVER
HALF THE VOTES.
HOUSE PASSES DUNN'S BILL,
WHICH CHANGES THE RULE
HITHERTO IN GONTROL OF
SUCH MATTERS.
GREAT sLAUGHTERsE-O OF BILLS
By the judiciary Committee ArOuses
the Indignation OF Some of the
Representatives.

The bill introduced by Mr.. Dunn pro-
viding for an amendment to the con-
stitution requiring that future amend
ments shall require a vote of the ma
jority OF the persons voting at the
election when the amendment is con-
sidered was passed by vote of 50 to
% upon a call of the house and after
very hard fighting.
The contest was similar to that of
Monday in the committee OF the whole,
where il was threshed over at con-
siderable length. It was opposed by
a strong element led by Mr.. Grondahl,
who made the principal speech against
the measure. He pointed out that the
constitutional amendments adopted at
the last election were all adopted by
less than a majority Of all the people,
end yet he questioned whether any
member upon the floor OF the house
would say that they we're not all for
the interest OF the people. He argued
that q great many people refrained
from voting upon the constitutional
amendments because they did not feel
competent to give an opinion and,
rather than vote wrong, they conclud-
was no advocate Of the measure who
could show that any amendment had
ever been adopted which was against
the interest Of the people. and so there
was no reason to take from the in
telligent thinking members of the body
polite the right to amend the cOnsti-
tuition when the great majority of. the
thinkers were upon one side, and the
nOn-thinkinC people did not care to ex-
press an opinion either way.
The bill was advocated quite as
strongly by Mr.. Staples, who said that
he should favor the bill because it
tended TO require and encourage in
telligent participation in the govern
ment OF all the people. Judge Hicks
also argued along the same line. Mr..
Donnelly explained that this was really
what the constitution meant, and that
the adoption Of the amendment was
simply going back to first principles.
Mr.. Dunn also spoke for the bill and
it pulled through when Mr. Fosness
changed his vote from no to yes.

discriminate against peddlers living in
Minnesota in favor Of those residing
in other states. and that the authority
sought to be given was already pro-
vided for under the laws. The bill

Tor the appointment Of a committee
TO examine into the condition and ca

OF patients not fit subjects for treat
ment in this state, and nOn-residentS.
The committee is instructed TO report
