MEASURE HITS AT BILLBoARDs-
Bill Introduced at Springfield to Re-

Springfield, Ill. March 2S-Chicago's

was hit in the senate this morning by a
bill introduced by Senator Hull. 1t pro-
vides that ''it shall be unlawf1 for any
person, firm, or corporation to erect OF
cause to be erected in cities in this state
having a population of 100000 inhabit-
ants or more any kind. character, or
description for the purpose of placing
advertisements thereon, within 1000
feet Of any public park or boulevard" :"
This would leave few places in a city
open to billboards. At least it would
make it impossible to put up any with
in the best residence districts or near
the business district. For violation a
fine of from $50 to $500 is provided.

Why Gambling Was. Prohibited.

In England. as in Rome. gambling
was prohibited. not because II demor-

devotees effemiaate. An act passed In

maintaining the artillery and debar-
ring unlawful games" An act passed
during the reign of Queen Anne de-
clared that all bonds or other securi-
ties given for money won at play or
money lent at the time to play with

on the same consideration should be
made over to the use of the mort

Food for Brain Workers.

Mental work requires much less
food than does physical labor. Re

This is a fact OF very great import

does not require any considerable
amount OF effort. since the taking OF

DUE TO FASHIONS CAPRICE.
Artificial Flowers Had Their Origin

Fashion is responsible for many in

manufacture OF artificial flowers. for
the demand was due TO a caprice Oh
fashion. In Italy during festival time
II was decreed that flowers should be
worn In and out of their season and
that their color should be retained.
Many plans for solving the problem
were brought forward and at last some
one hit upon the idea Of making them
of various materials which would re-
semble the real flowers. Later, In the
middle ages. the artificial SO far super

Water Purifcation.

A physician connected with the
United States Agricultural department
has called attention TO the fact that
an extremely small quantity OF sui
phate Of copper Will prevent the
growth of algae in lakes. ponds and
storage reservoirs. and will destroy
typhoid and cholera germs The aues-
ton at once arises whether this meth
cd can be considered thoroughly hy-
gjenic. The probability is that the
small amount of copper thus en-
ployed would be neutralized by COM
t.ning with vegetable substances so
that the water will be left practically
pure; nevertheless. the addition OF
chemical substances to water canrot
be consiae cred the most desirable
method OF publication. Boiling and
altering through a Pasteur hitter are
really the best methods. Filters are
cheap. and boiling Is an easy and SIM
pie process. The old fashioned char
coal and gravel filters cannot be re-
