Madison, Wis, June 15.-By vote
of 90 to "A the Wisconsin assembly has
concurred in the Stout bill prohibiting
the granting of liquor licenses to sa-
looms within 300 feet of school houses.
After 1903 all saloons inside that limit
must close up. The senate killed bill
to define franchises and limit and reg
ulate the issuance of corporation stock.
Notwithstanding the fact that the
assembly and senate adopted a resolu-
ton shutting off all business except
reports from the enrolling committee
and reports from the governor on bills
acted upon, final adjournment cannot
be reached before Monday night or
Tuesday morning. This conclusion
was reached when it was ascertained
that there are still ninety-eight bills
in the enrolling room. There were
but five bills before Governor IaFOl-

state printer, and reach the governor.
II Is an utterimpossibility it isclaimed,
to do this work and adjourn before
the time stated.
After twenty-three weeks Of contin-
uous session, the longest legislative
record in the last quarter of a century,
business was concluded long after mid
night. Throughout the entire night
the two houses held informal sessions,
awaiting the action on bills in either
house. Messengers were kept busy
and almost immediate results followed
the action on bills.

pan for treaty Of peace. Official an
nouncement of the selection Of Wash
ingtOn was made by Secretary Loeb at
the White House. 1t read as follows:
"When the two governments were I'M
able to agree upon either Chefoo or
Paris the president suggested The
Hague, but both governments have
now requested that Washington be
chosen as the place of meeting. and
the president has accordingly formal
~ notified both governments that
Washington will be so selected"
In Case Washington Gets Too Hot.
This statement was supplemented
shortly afterWard by a semi-oftical an
nOuncement that "after meeting and
organizing the plenipotentiaries of the
two governments if it should be found
to be uncOmfOrtably hot in Washing
ton, may adjourn the meeting to some
summer resort in the north. and there
continue their sittings until such time
as the weather in Washington shall
be more comfortable" It seems that
Russia preferred Paris. while Japan
preferred ChefoO that Russia wouldn't
listen to ChefoO, and Japan declined
to consider Paris.
Japs Feared Russian Influence.
AS means of facilitating the nngo-
tfations the president suggested that
the conference be held at The Hague,
the seat of the international arbitra-
ton tribunal. He indicated that for
both practical and sentimental reasons
The Hague would be most desirable
place of meeting for the plenipoten-
tiaries. Further consideration of the
subject developed the practically I'M
Unalterable objection of Japan to any
European capital as a seat for the con-
ference. She objected particularly to
The Hague. believing that it was too
far within the sphere Of Russian intiu-
ence, and for a similar reason she de-
clined favorably to consider Geneva.
Then came the selection of Washing
ton.

fetal to the Nerves.
Recent experiments show the great
digestibility of the oyster. When
the oyster was crushed and placed
In cold water about half of the solid
matter was Dissolved. When the oys-
ter was placed uncrushed in the same
medium one-fourth of it's solid mat
ter was dissolved. It is believed that
if the oyster be chewed more than
half of it is dissolved in the mouth.
Cold water appears to be the best
thing to drink with oysters. But chab-
lis is good, dissolving SO per cent OF
the solid matter of the oyster.
What are the solids of the oyster?
They are the proteids corresponding
to the lean of meat or the white of an
egg, fat, starchy matters and glyco-
gen. This last means the substance
which the liver manufactures for
future use. 1t is very like sugar, and
when wanted for use is changed into
sugar. 1t is the substance which
makes the oyster sweet in the mouth.
But there are other valuable con-
stituents Of the oyster-what are call
ed the glycero-phosphoric compounds.
Medical men prescribe these for i'm
proving the nervous system, so that
a diet of oysters is unquestionably
good for the nerves They also con-
tain common salt, a little copper and
several phosphates. And taking the
whole contents of the oyster shell,
one finds almost everything necessary
for the food of the body.
