MUST HAVE FOUR
Continued from page ~

when the House added to the whole
number of representatives a represen-
tative each for the states of New
Hampshire and Florida by reason Of
the fact that they each had almost a
ma jority fraction after the whole num-
Der of representatives had been appor-
toned.
We take the computation based upon
3S4 representatives. upon a ratio Of one
for every 194.lS2 of popu-
lation. AS shown in table 2 of the let
ter of the director of the census above
referred to, Nebraska, with u majority
fraction of 1888, and Virginia, with a
majority fraction of Jog. $40 each lose a
representative and get no representa-
tive for the majority fraction in either
case. These are the only states having
majority fractions that fail TO get a
representative therefor.
This seems to us an injustice. There
ferred to in the case of New Hamp-
shire and Florida in 1872, We assign to
for each majority fraction. thus adding
two to the whole number. making in all
under our proposed bin ESQ representa-
tives, apportioned as follow:

1t is true that this table shows q de-
crease of II in the apportionment. I'M
der the sixth census in 1913, but it is
significant that the movement to de-
crease originated in the Senate, which
body appears to have dominated the
House at that time, and determined its
size. No practical inconvenience as to
the seating capacity Of the House can
result from this increase.
A plan prepared by the architect of
the Capitol shows that slight length

was about 16 months old he broke out
with rash which was thought to be
measles. In a few days he had a swell
ing on the left side of his neck and
it was decided to be humps. He was
given medical attendance for about
three weeks when the doctor said it
was scrofula and ordered salve. He
wanted to lance the sore, but I would
not let him, and continued giving him
medicine for about four months, when
the bunch broke in two places and be-
came running sore. Three doctors
said it was scrofula, and each or
dered blood medicine. A neighbor
told me of case somewhat like our
baby's which was cured by Hoods
Sarsaparilla. I decided to give it to
nv boy and in short while his health
improved and his neck healed so nice
ly that stopped giving him the med
icine. The sore broke out again. how
