The citizen who wants to sec what his representative and his Senator are doin%. these days can not tell by read Ing the mere rerorts of the House and the Senate. What Is done in open session now Is only a fraction of the days work. The big work is not In tho open House or the Senate.
 What is going on now Is going on In the committees. The committees are engaged in digesting the bills which have been flowing in during every day. Nearly every committee is congested with bills. and the con gestion will have to be removed before the real and earnest work of the two Houses can be accomplished.

Jenklns ia Role of Csar.

Representative Sam Jenkins of Baid- win County. provided the members of the House with hearty laugh yesteT- day afternoon-and he made no charge for the entertainment, either. It all happened during the discussion of the two game and fish bills. fathered by Mir. Steagall of Dalq County, and hap pened In this wises
 Speaker Martin had left the chalf. and called on Mir. Jenkins to come for ward and occupy the chair during his absence. which Mir. Jenkins did with becoming modesty. While he was there, the previous question was or dered on all pending amendments, and on Bill No. III, which was first con- sidered by the House. As Is custom ary under such circumstances, Mir. Dale rose after the previous question had been ordered to close the debate. as the author of the bill under discussion.
 But Speaker pro tenn Jenkins couldn't see 1t that way, and promptly called MT. Steagall to account for presuming to discuss the measure after the de- mand for an immediate vote had been made. Mir. John of Jefferson, the se- nior member of the Committe on Rules, called the attention of the tenn porary Speaker to the rules and the custom of the House since its organi- zation, allowing the author of a motion or resolution to close the. debate after the preVl0uS question nau DeSu OruSTSu
 But 1t did no good: the Speaker was firm if nothing else; and Mir. Steagall sat down to the accompaniment of thumps from the Speakers gavel. as he explained that he hadn't wanted to make a speech, anyhow.
 Mir. John bided hjs time. By and by, when the other Ash bill was up. the previous question was ordered on an amendment by MT. Jenkins, exempting the salt waters near the Gulf from its provisions. and the gentleman from Baldwin rose to conclude the debate on his amendment
 Then Mir. John rose and pleaded with tears in his eyes, for Speaker Martin to forget the rules long enough to de- clare MT. Jenkins out of order in at- tempting to close the debate. But MT. Martin couldn't see it that way, and the gentleman from Baldwin was per mitted to explain his amendment, as best he could, while the House doubled up, held it's sides and enjoyed the first good hearty laugh of the session.

 Senator Herbert Reynolds of Blob yesterday got 6 favorable report from the Committee on Revision of Laws on his vagranvy bill. This bill is one in which he Is particularly interested, and he thinks it is an important con tribution to Il question which has vexed the lawmakers of Alabama for a generation.
 Senator Reynolds's bill, which de- fines vagrancy within the meaning of the law, is based uuon the present vagrancy laws of Alabama, Missis- sipri and Virginia. Its object is to put the buruen of proof that a man has visible means of support on the accused man. In other words the prisoner accused of vagrancy must prove he is earning his own living. The law was faorably recommended yesterday afternoon at a meeting of the Committee on Revision of Laws.

ROME. Sept. u. The Great Council Of
the miniature State Of San Marine has
resolved to discontinue the custom Of
granting titles Of nobility to foreigners
and even to abolish it's own patriciate.
This has been lone at the urgent request
of the Italian Government.
Italy was the chief market for these

The sale Of patents Of nobility formed

shown a balance on the right side. The

to do il in the line Of decorations. The

to wager SIS. 900 with a recently ennobled
compatriot that he would within four weeks

bet was taken and the German set on for
San Marine. He planked down 81. 500,

within the stipulated time. thus making

EAT MEAT AND GROW ON.
Englsnd Busy with Diet Discussion -Sixa
rettes Destroy women's sweet Tooth
.Speci1I Cdbie Despatch 10 Tn


LONDON, Sept. 2f.-The address deliv-
cred by Sir James Crichton Browne to the
Sanitary Inspectors Association last Tues
day on tho subject Of the British food sup
ply has raised the greatest controversy.
The papers are filled with letters from
experts and others discussing vegetarian
ism and other points.
DR.. Henry Forbes. the well known physi-
clan. comes to Sir James's defence on the
subject Of meat eating. He holds that
mans position as the leader Of terrestrial
creation is largely due to meat eating He
denies the theory that meat eaters are more
liable to cancer tina vegetarians,
He states that vegetarian animals are
liable to cancerous tumors and that the
negroes OF Africa and the West Indian
Islands. who are ruita rians and vegeta-
rians, are largely subject TO cancer; also
that vegetarianism has n tendency TO in
duce tuberculosis He asserts thst old
people can add from seven to twelve years
TO their ives by adhering to n carefully
arranged meat diet.
DIR. Josiah Oldfeld, a prominent phvsi-
cian, attacks Prof. Browne for saying that
girls in the low or classes who are trying 10
keep thin sat lemons and chalk. He says
they rave no need to try To get thin. being
snemio and emaciated anyway and their
whole life being centred in getting enough
for their daily needs.
Another physician asserts that the diet
OF women is now changing on account of
the growing habit of cigarette smoking.
which destroys all taste for sweets. II is
noticeable, he says, that women now order
savories and spiced and seasoned dishes
instead Of creams and ices for dessert.
For the same reason a drugged lozenge
having a strong taste appeals much more
to the jaded feminine palate than ordinary
candy.
