once a month. Just let tumblerful Of
morning urine stand "a hours. and if it
becomes cloudy, or particles float about
in it, or if a reddish-brown sediment
forms, it is positive proof that your kid
are utterly unable to do their work, and

KANSAS OIL BILL SIGNED,
Go0ernor Says Object Is to Compel
Monopoly To Be Decent.

Topeka, Kan, Feb. 17.-GovernOr Hoch to-day
signed the bill passed on Wednesday appropri-
ating 100000 for the erection and maintenance
OF State oil refinery with capacity of 1900
barrels a day. The signing of this measure will
make it possible for Kansas to begin in earnest
the fight against the Standard Oil Company. In
signing the bill the Governor sent long mes
sage to thS legislature reviewing the fight which
has ended in the present legislation and giving
his reasons for signing the refinery bill
Governor HOch, in his message, objected to
the size Of the appropriation made for the pur-
pose OF carrying the law into effect, and said
that he differed from the majority of the
bers Of the legislature only in regard to the
method of fighting the Standard Oil Company.
The message also urged the legislature to sup
plement the Refinery bill with railroad egisla-
tion which will prevent the so-called Oil Trust
from defeating the purpose of the act.
No greater question:" said the Governor
'confronts the American people than the control
Of great aggregations Of capital We are all
cropping in the dark, but we will get out into the
light after a while. This Kansas contribution
to the solving Of this great problem may or may
not be wise one but it is at least an honest
and courageous one"
Governor Hoch said that the present legisIa-
ton was not an attempt to drive the Standard
OIL Company from the State, nor to deprive it
u IL 4i644tS IL ls IOI an attempt 10 eStaDnSh
a - y, but attempt to compel a monop-
o. existing to be decent" He said
Il normal conditions were again re-
ste. State would be glad to withdraw
from the business of refining oil and leave it in
the hands of private competitors where it legit-
imately belongs"
1T is due to this State to say" says Governor
Hoch. that this movement has not been con-
ceived, as many suppose, and some charge, in
the spirit of socialism"
Further legislation directed against the Stand
ard Oil Company came up in the House to-day
A bill making oil pipe lines common carriers
was reported and was made special order for
the afternoon session. This is one of the two
oil bills undisposed of. The other one is the
anti-discrimination bill, designed TO prevent the
Standard Oil Company from underselliny the
State. This bill has been made a special order
for next Monday.
Chanute, Kan, Feb. 1.-THE Standard OIL
Company is again buying oil in the Chanute dis
trict, after refusing to take any for one week
The construction Of the pipe lines in the terri
tories, which was recently suspended, is also in
progress.
Reports from Independence Peru and other
places, indicate that the Standard Oil Company
is buying there also.

SENATE YIELDS TO HOUSE.
Recedes from Wheat Drazoback
Amendment Under Protest.

Washington, Feb. 1.-THE Senate to-day ter
minated its controversy with the House over
the provision of the Dingley law relative to the
drawback on imported wheat by recedng from
the amendment inserted in the Agricultural Ap-
preparation bill.
Mr. Hansbrough. the author OF the amend
ment, moved that the Senate recede, but ex-
pressed regret at the action of the House. He
called attention to the fact that, although the
session within two weeks OF the close the
House had taken no cognizance of the ruling
OF the Treasury Department, which, he said
absolutely nullfed law. He said that, in view
of the great pressure of business. there was
nothing left but to allow the House to have its
way, and, therefore, he moved to recede.
Mr.. Foraker also protested against the action
Of the House. contending that the constitu-
tonal provision that bills to raise revenue must
originate in the House did not preclude the Sem
ate from originating measures affecting rev.
enue.
Mr.. Patterson asserted that the opinion given
on the drawback by Attorney General Moody
was 'in the face and teeth of the law 81 pro-
test" he added, against any action by any ex-
ecutive official which for the benefit of any
trust changes or repeals a law"
Mr.. Morgan was of the opinion that the House
had entirely transcended its authority under
the Constitution" adding that that body had
no right to send the bill back as it had done.
MI Spooner defended the action of the House
on the ground that the Senate had invaded its
prerogatives. He characterized the protest of
the House respectful and digniied and ex-
pressed the hope that the Senate would meet it
in the same spirit
Messrs. Bacon, Teller and Money concurred in
Mr.. Spooner's view.
The vote by which the Agricultural bill was
passed was then recorsidered. the amendment
was stricken out and the bill passed again.
Ihe Senate passed the bill appropriating S9,-
94ooOO for the District of Columbia and the
Diplomatic and Consular Appropriation bill,
carrying S2,156,000. The District bill had been
before the Senate for several days and had been
much debated. The Diplomatic bill received the
attention of the Senate>for only twelve minutes
and was passed without discussion.
