WORKING in COMMITTEES.
Many Subcommittee. Meet Daily
Houses-Some Prospective Bills

The Legislature is not idle as many
people suppose these days. The brief
sessions of the two bodies represent only
a very small portion OF the Work really
being done.
Heretofore much of the work OF legls-
lative session was done in the committee
rooms and it was possible to follow this
and forecast the tate. Of measures re-
ferred to committees before they actually
came up in either house Now, however,
the various committees have been SUD-
divided into from three or six sub-com-
mittees each. and these are meeting and
working in the rooms of some member
of the sub committees. in the afternoon,
ir the evening and sometimes in the
forenoon
Thus good progress is being made with
the work OF the session. as will soon De
shown when these various subordinate
committees report their work to the iuil
committees. as they will do. 1t VIII theli

committee, which will in almost every
cas- report the work to the two houses.
AS many OF the most careful and
thoughtful members of both houses are
devotius themselves TO the subcommittee
work. there is little prospect OF prolonged
debate over the reports In fact, the
work of both the full committees and OF
the two houses Will pc III most cases hlLie
more than an endorsement OF ana enact
ment of the work Of the subcommittee.
There Is still some general Legislation
pending, but little of general interest.
None of the measures OF Importance are
vet on the calendars OF either house. in
fact there is but one bill on the House
calendar and that will come up to-day on
its third reading, all bills requiring reac-
ing on three successive days prior to pas

BUT IT DOEsA' t
:, -. y
Many Have the Erroneous
Idea That Fat Makes Fat.
One Reason Of CodLiYer Oils Popularity.
Nevertheless Il Decidedly Wrong
Impression.

Fat taken into the stomach does noh
make fat Thousands of physicians haSss
prescribed cod liver oil for wasting dis-
cases and all troubles that snow them
selves in q decline of weight. physicians
know that the fat or grease is not what
is necessary to make Fat or tissue. 1hes
also know that it is one of the main
things that make cod liver oil impractl-
cal in many cases. The fat is too rich
to be Gigested by stomach weakened
by disease. ts
When cod liver oil is given, often the
oil passes from the body in exactly the
same state in which it is received me
reason doctors prescribe cod liver OIL IS
that it contains certain curative proper
ties. 1t is TO take advantage OF these
same curative properties That they nave
so often tried to force their patients to
take this horrible, greasy, vjle-smelling'
nauseating remedy
There are but few people who have not
had experience in one way or announcer
with cod liver Oil. and even the thought
of its smell is enough to cause shud-
DER. When we think of these things lis
not strange that every one In our CITY Is
sounding the praise Of who'll
yinol, which Mr.. Tragic. of the Tragic
Medicine Company. is handling, is the
solution Of an embarrassing puzzle that
physicians have had to contend with for
years. Much has been said in the past
few days Of this wonderful discovery ana
vet it would be impossible to say too
much in its praise. 40
vinol. Wine of Cod Liver Oil. will in
deed prove itself to be Godsend of the
most precious kind. AS we have descrlo-
ed it before, there is no need now OF e'~
tcrinS into the subject at length; but
Just remember that in Vinol you can
procure ali the medicinal properties or
curative principles That make cod liver oil
famous, but without the greasy fat. Vlnol
contains just the right amount of the
active medicinal properties OF the cod
liver that is necessary for the cure Oh
such diseases as cod liver Oil has been
prescribed for. y
This is subject that every one should
become familiar with and we recommend
that you make inquiries of your druggist
in regard TO Virol. or if you will call on
Mr.. Tragic who has associated himself
with the Boston chemists who are pre-
pairing this remedy. he will gladly give
any one all explanations that may b-
desired in regard TO this subject.

eral hours was the recent unpleasant
experience Of Superintendent ]. NJ.
Bryant, of the National cemetery Fulton
Hill. and Superintendent Osbourne. Of
Seven Pines cemetery.
Wednesday afternoon Mr.. Bryant re-
ceived a phone message that Superin-
tendent Osbourne of Seven Pines cene-
terry. was critically i'll. lie at once took
the cars for Seven Pines. When he reach
ed there he found Mr.. Osbourne in per-
feet nealth
After comforting together they con-
Guided that it must be Mr. Mcclure. SUI
perintendent of Cold Harbor cemetery,
who was i'll, and accordingly, with horse
and buggy, they drove TO Cold Harbor
cemetery and found that their worst
fears were true.
After doing what they could for the
i'll man, and leaving him comfortable,
they started about o'clock to drive
back to Seven Pines. The night was very
dark, and not being familiar with the
road they trusted to the horses instinct
TO find their way home.
After driving for a couple of hours. ana
not meeting with any familiar landmark,
Bryant and Osbourne began to feel anx-
ious, lest they had lost their way.
After driving half an hour, the road by
this time being very bad from the recent
rains and back water from the swamp,
they realized that they were on the wrong
road.
Mr.. Bryant suggested turning back,
which they did, then a new difficulty
arose, it being pitch dark, and they
did not know which way to turn. Again
trusting to the horse, they let the animal
pick his way out. After many delays
they found their way back to Cold H3rbor
cemetery, where they arrived at O'Clock
in the morning.
Superintendent Bryant said it was a
terrible experience. He reached his home
the next morning shortly after o'clock.

CHILD'S PATHETIC
PLEAT0 GOVERNOR
Baby Sister Slept in Her Arms While
She Begged Pardon for Mother.

HARRISBURG. Pa, Sept. PA pa
thetc incident took place in the private
Office Of Governor Stone yesterday. A
sweet-faced little girl of fourteen had
sat all morning in the reception room
waiting to see the governor. She had
with her a little sister, a sunny-haired
child of three years. who could scarce
" lisp.
She told the governor that her name
was Brodie and her mother was in jail
and she would like to have her par
doned- She was fourteen. she said. and
their were eight other children, all
younger than she
Questioning brought out the fact that
the mother had been convicted Of per
jury in Philadelphia in damage suits
against the traction company for alleged
injuries sustained while on the trolley
cars. The little girl said she worked
and kept the family together and her
aunt cared for the baby while she was
working
The governor. with some emotion told
the little girl that he alone could not
get her mother out OF jail and that he
could only act upon the recommendation
of the board Of pardons. With quivcring
lips AMI sad eyes. the girl left the room
and went home to Philadelphia.

PROCESS TO RENDER

Consul General Hughes. at CObUrg,
Germany, has sent to the State Depart
ment the following regarding a new
process for rendering cotton freproof:
Some % the more enterprising of the
German manufacturers Of cotton goods
are intending, am informed, tc make
trial of the valuable discovery OF Dr.
W H Perkins. OF Manchester. whereby
cotton and other similar highly tnfam-
mable materials can be rendered Derma-
nently freproof-
With the exception Of exp Jsives
there Is no article that flares up so
quickly as cotton when It comes into
contact with light, especially in those
particular goods 2hich are made OF
heavy yarns and 'combed out on both
sides in order TO give the appearance Of
flannel
The freproofng process consists OF
'asbestinizing the fabric. by which
means permanent immunity from burn
ing is assured, but the exact manner in
which II is achieved is not diyuIged
'Asbesrine fabrics can be washed again
and again and yet retain their non
equitable quality
From this it will be seen that the
process does rot consist in merely put
ting upon the material q chemical that
