Sore Muscles

Golf is lots Of fun the day you play,
but the next day it's another story. Then
you're stiff and sore, and you feel twice
as old as you really are. If you'll take
a good rub down with Omega Oil after
you get home from the links, there won't
be any soreness or stiffness at all the
next day; not a bit. Your muscles and
flesh will be in fine shape, and you can go
out and play again, feeling fresher than
ever. It isn't going to cost you much to
buy bottle of Omega Oil, and see for
yourself if this isn't SO.
Those who play baseball, cricket or
lawn tennis, would do well to follow the
above advice also. ne

WORK OF THE SOLONS FOR
THE FIRST WEEK.
A Few Matters Were Finally
Disposed of.
Columbia State.

Columbia State.
"A prominent member of the
general assembly was asked yes
terday If such and such legislation
would be enacted. He replied
that while he would work for
the measure referred to, he could
not speak Of the possible success
of any bill, for the legislators
are not committing themselves
on account of impending legisla
ton in regard to the dispensarv
law.
And in the house of represen-
tatives this does indeed seem to
be the case. The first week OF
the incipient session has witness
ed caution to a noticeable degree.
There has been no display of
radicalism, and the leading mem
bers are maintaining silence on
the principal measures sui ubmitted.
1t IL true that nothing has been
suggested which vas worthy of a
fight, but some measures which
have been permitted to pass al
most unn"ticed would heretofore
have challenged an exhibition
of forensic pyrotechnics which
would have gladdened the hearts
of the representatives who desir-
ed cheap notorietv.
Upon the uispensary question
is focused all the intensity of
Legislative energy, and until this
perplexing matter is boiled down
to solution in the caularon Of de-
bate the Legislative mind will be
absorbed to great degree with
the difficulty of arriving at Il con

pie.

Then the same. day Senator
Aldrich and Mr.. Winkler intro
duced resolutions proposing an
investigation of the dispcnsary.
That this resolution is regarded
lightly may be stated In view of
the fact that there appears to be
no haste to pass the resolution,
although there is very limited
time in which such investigation
may be conducted.

Is PROBABLE that the bill will new
er get over to the senate. The
measure will be fought by rep
resenatives of all sorts of policies.
1t Is said the bill is a disappoint-
ment to those who attended the
caucus i'll Columbia fair week.
Mr.. Blease has introduced a
resolution to divert the profits of
the State dispensary from the
school fund to the general fund
but it has attracted no notice
whatever, as the constitution will
have to be amended in this par
tlcular. and it does not appear to
be the disposition of the house
to torment constitutional amend
ments.
Mr.. Cosgrove's bill to exempt
cities of over 10000 population
from the operations Of the dis
pensary law has been made the
special order tor the 23d. All
dispensary bills will, no doubt,
be taken up together.
There will no doubt be other
dispensary bills introduced, some
seeking to arrive at a really lust
solution and some contrive to
Still further disturb the pool of
discord.
The house has accomplished
some work, but there must be
fast Legislation in order for the
local bills to be passed in time
for the appropriation and supply
bills to be reported on or before
February 18th.
One quick piece of work last
week was the passage of an act
to validate the jury list in Union
county. This passed both houses
and is now law.
"A noteworthy bit of legislation
was the passage of Representa-
tive w. l.. Mauldin's bill to re.
peal the income tax law.

A QUARANTINE FARCE.

The quarantine as at present main
tanned by the Board of Health at Hala-

is to all intents at this important post
of the quarantine patrol dead line,
made up of two posts and a wire
stretched across the roadway. a guard
is constantly at hand, but evidently not
on the alert. if all the stories of his

bers of natives from Moanalua have
been in the habit of vending their way

eatables and drinkables sufficient TO

Arriving at the top of the ridge. they
made themselves comfortable under

time the natives from the other side
of the Island made their appearance
and took up positions on the opposite
side of the shadow made by the won
derful quarantine wire All day long
they fraternized, exchanging choice
bits OF food and gossip, embraced one
another, and had a general merry
time. None, however. crossed the
