Ell cafe d desinfectante

POcas personas saben que ell
cafe tostado es uno de los desin-
fectantes mas energicos contra
toda clase de emanaciones pu-
tridas, sean animales 8 vegeta-
les. Los malos olores que sc
propagan en- una casa, los que
salen de I'm retrete descuidado,
por ejemplo, desaparecen me-
dante el hume del cafe tostado.
81 Sc espolvorea de cafe una
pieza de caza recien muerta, sc
la podra conservar durante mu-
chOS diaS; este medic es sobre
todo practice cuando sc trata de
expedir la caza por ferrocarril,
en- cuyo case convene echar Ell
polvo de cafe dentro del vientre
del animal despues de sacar las
vfsceras.
Ademas, las fumigaciones de
cafe dan excelente resultado en-
las alcobas donde hay enfermos;
son tan efcaces como las del
scloro o acido sulfuroso, con la
ventaja de ser menos desagra-
dables al olfato.

FRIENDS OF SENATOR SUCCEED
IN STRIKING OUT oBJEc-
TIoNABLE FEATURE.

Austin, Tex, Jan. 16.-The house of
the Texas legislature during the day
passed a resolution calling on the at
torney general to submit to that body
for consideration all documentary evil
dence he has in his possession impli-
eating United States Senator Bailey in
certain dealings with the Waters
Pierce Oil company. The original res
olution offered by the anti-Bailey lead
ers provided that the attorney general
should accompany these documents
with his opinion as to their merit, but
Senator Bailey's adherents objected to
this feature so ~strenuously that it was
stricken out and the attorney general
is asked to furnish documentary evil
dence only.
Friends of Senator Bailey are jul
bilant I've the fact that they have
secured their contention and announce
that the investigation resolutions are
practically dead. They claim the sen
ator will be reelected next week with
out further opposition. Senator Bailey
attended the days inaugural exer-
cises and was received with cheers.

investigation Of charges laid before
them to the effect that girls under the
age of consent, which in Wisconsin is

Syrian transient merchant. Evidence
was then submitted that the girl had
been bid in for $500 in behalf of the
prospective groom and that her par
ents, on receiving a bid of $3.50 in a
later mail from a Syrian at Oshkosh,
We're attempting to repudiate the first
sale.
