STANDS FIRE
IN THE HOUSE
HoUsE-EIaHTEENTH DAY.

-6lodI6ENTH DAY.
The House was still suffering from
the effects of the grip yesterday, six
chairs being empty wnen the reading
of the minutes were concluded. Prior
to coming to order the members dis
cussed among themselves what they
had learned of leprosy bacilli the pre-
vious afternoon. In describing his visit
to another member, who had failed to
attend the demonstration, a member
said:
After the doctor cocks the bacillus
and paints him so that he can see him, he
looks through the sry-glags. If the
bacillus has humps on him he knows
It's leprosy, but if he hasn' any
humps he thinks it's consumption and
goes out to look the patient over to
make up his mind" The other member
nodded in perfect comp ehension and
both feel themselves fully equipped
now to deal with any future Board of
Health matter that may come up.

its third reading, being laid over until
Friday on motion by Rice. 1t was
explained that there was another bill
in committee changing the salaries in
all the counties and that the whole
matter might be threshed out at one
time.
THE PRIMARY LAW.
The House went into Committee of
the Whole to consider House Bill 40,
the Primary bill. The indefinite post
ponement of the whole thing was moved
by Mahoe, and Rice moved the second
reading. Rice explained his idea. He
saw no advantage in discussing it see
tion by section as the members had
all read it and understood its purport.
Ayes and noes Were called for on
the motion to postpone reading, four
voting in favor of the hoist. Rice then
proposed that the committee rise and
report. While the chair was preparing
his report Rice asked for recess, sub
ject to the call of the chair, which
was granted.
