TO BE HELD IN CHECK.
Liberty Of Russia's New National As
sembly Will Be Restricted.

ST. PETERSBURG, June 25. - Russia's
coming national assembly, II forecasts that
are appearing in newspapers are correct,
will be controlled by parliamentary ma
chinery and procedure. profoundly intricate
and unavoidable from the standpoint Of
western countries. Everywhere checks will
be introduced upon the power of the gosu-
darstvennaia douma, or popular elected
lower house of the legislative assembly, and
arbitrary methods will be evolved for over
riding, or, rather, sweeping aside its objec-
lions when they become troublesome or too
tnsiStent
For instance, If measures fail to reach
the council of the empire of the upper house
WITHIN certain time consent of the lower
mouse Will be assumed to have been given.
Biils introduced must be supported by
tnirty members. and then go to the minis
ter whose department is affected, who ex-
ercises sort of preliminary veto power,
which can be broken down only by vote
of two-thirds of both houses and with the
approval of the emperor. Even then it
Will have the effect only to compel the
minister. to introduce project of law to
meet the views of the assembly within a
year.
The lower house has not the power to
initiate. revenue legislation. The budget
Is to be introduced by the minister of
finance annually on November IL, and must
go through committee in ten days and be
passed by December 5. Items provided for
in existing laws or relating to the estab-
l1shed budget of the army and navy cannot
be stricken out. and the machinery prac-
t1cally 1nsures acceptance of the budget
by providing for motion for striking out
an item to follow the same procedure as
new legislation.
The council of the empire nominated by
the emperor exercises throughout pre-
ponderating influence or control over the
elected lower house. The president of each
house is clothed with power not only to
keep debate within bounds, but to suspend
sittings. Ministers are to be interpelated
in camera, and only such portions of pro-
ceedings in executive sessions may be pub
lished as the president approves. Press
representatives are to be admitted to open
sessions, but their accounts are censurable.
Besides, there will be an official publica-
ton like the Congressional Record at
Washington.
The mode of elections is yet unsettled.
Apparently there are two propositions, one
for class representation and the other along
the general suffrage line. This question Is
yet under consideration.

any gaps that there may be in the contour

KEEP YOUR MIND ON THE DRAFT.
Then You Won't Catch Cold, Says a
Doctor-Just a Matter Of Nerves.

The trolley cold which is the result
of exercise followed by a ride in a
street car, is just now easier to catch
than at any other time. Then there
is also the subway cold, produced by
the same causes and just as violent in
its uncomfortab effects.
Nobody need suffer from either sort
of cold if the testimony of physician
is of any value.
Nobody need catch cold, even in a
draft. he told patient the other day,
so long as he continues conscious of
the fact that there is a draft blowing
on him. Just keep that in mind and
there is no danger.
But forget it for moment and
there is gong to be trouble. Taking
cold is largely matter of nerves, and
any man who follows my advice, sits
tight and thinks of the draft all the
time that it is blowing on him will
escape taking cold"

port shows that the profits OF the
packing industry only amount to
about two per cent of the volume of

the packing industry is conducted on
. smaller margin of gross profit than
any other industry in America. The
gross margin of profit of S71 -four and

year, was nearly seven per cent on
the volume of business The gross
margin of fifty-one wholesale slaugh-
