Anti Cigarette Bill Passes Senate Polk County Out of Depository Bill House Fails to Congratu-
 late Senator Bailey.

Little Rock, Mar. i.-Yes,er- day Senator D. NJ. Cloud, the choice of the people of the Ninth senatorial district m the special election held last Saturday, was otficlaiiy received in the senate.
 Senate Bill No. loo, by Senator Patterson, was taken up for the purpose of disposing of the com mittee amendment. This IS the patent medicine bill which re- quires the formula to be printed in plain type as large as brevier size on every proprietary medicine sold in the state. The Senate Committee on Public Health had amended the bill so as to require physician also to write their per- scriptions in plain English. and druggist preparing the medicine to copy the prescription ou the label whenever requested to do so by the purchaser.
 Senator Oldham spoke as member of the committee which had passed on the bill. He stated that at one time he believed the amendment should be adopted, but that he had later reached the conclusion that its provisions were impracticable and that it would be almost impossible for the physicians or druggists to comply with 1t.
 Senator Browning believed that the passage of the bill would drive the druggists out of busi- ness, and he thought the title ought to be amended to read Ia bill for an act to drive the drug gists of the state out or business"
 The committee amendment was stricken from the bill, and the whole subject was made a special order for Thursday after noon in the senate.
 The vote by which the appro- priation of SIS, 1000 for au exhibit at Jamestown was killed last Wednesday was reconsidered in the senate yesterday, and after the bill had received 20 votes for and 2 against, was declared passed. A question remains as to whether the bill requires two- thirds of all members elected or two-thirds of those present and voting before it can be legally passed.
 The senate passed the Mcken- zie anti-cigarette bill by au unanimous vote. The bill pro- hibits the sale, manufacture or giving away of cigarettes or cigarette materials in .the state.
 The senate passed the bill by Senator Edrondson, establishing county Repositories in Stone and Independence counties.

 Senator Goodwin called up Senate Bill No. 9S, which author izes the State Board of Education to invest the permanent school fund iu warrants of special school districts. The bill passed by a vote of l7 to ls.

IS BREAKING UP
THE FAMILY
Present Day Literature Tending
to Destroy the Home.

CHAUTAUQUA, N. Y, August 8.
Present marriage and family
conditions were cored as far below
what they should be among Chris
tians by Prof. Shales Mathews,
Dean of the University of Chicago
Divinity School, in an address on
The Christian Conception of the
Family" The easiness and frequency
of divorce also came in for scathing
rebuke, incidentally, courtship is be-
ing neglected Said the Chicago
dean:
Much of our current literature
causes a certain deterioration of
the Christian ideal of the family.
Our literature has become anti-fam-
lily. 1t is not so much that it has
attempted to deny the legitimacy OF
the family, but it does minimize its
sancity. There is a tendency to re-
place the idea of romantic love that
gives beauty to life with the old idea
of mating. ! regret this because it
is likely to break down our ciyiliza-
ton and the sancity of the family
If the relations of man and woman
are to be merely those of animals
then we are going backward in our
evolution. Il do not see any hope
for any Christianity that does not
face this problem squarely."

been there untouched since Jan 10,
when President Roosevelt was enter

some of which, reports from Georgia

and for which payment is now being

at the Georgia building that it is
wine ordered by President W. N.

and that at Mr.. Mitchell's direction it
was put away and has never been
opened. This wine is ready to be
shipped back to the firm which sup
piled it, and those in charge of the

The Limit of Life.

The most eminent medical scien-
lists are unanimous in the conclu-
sion that the generally accepted linn
itation of the human life is many
years below that attainment possible
with the advanced knowledge OF
which the race is now possessed. The
critical period, that determines its
duration, seems to be between 80
and 60; the proper care of the body
during this decade cannot be too
strongly urged; carelessness then be-
ing fatal to longevity. Natures best
helper after so is Electric Bitters,

talizes every organ of the body. Guar
