lmportant Bills.

In the matter of legislation Michi
gan is to take a more than usually
prominent part in this congress. All
the measures TO be offered by Michi.
gan men have not as yet been perfect
ed, but several of them will introduce
bills of national Importance. some of
which are sure TO pass ii the attitude
OF the leaders indicates anything.
Townsend has some big ones. He
will reintroduce his bill providing for
arbitration of labor troubles, and an
other placing express companies on
the same footing as railroads under
the rate law, so that their rates will
be subject TO supervision by the inter
state commerce commission and to
modification on justified complaint.
Among others, DENLY will introduce
a bill to compel the return of railroad
cars promptly when borrowed by one
road from another. and to permit in
surance adjusters to ride free on rail-
road trains while looking up claims in
which railroad employe or his widow
or family are interested.
Smith will not confine himself to
District of Columbia affairs. He has
pepared a bill for the reduction of
telegraph rates, TO grant all war
widows a $12 pension, and to compel
telegraph companies to note on all
dispatches the time of both receipt
and delivery.

Of the Well Informed of the World has

efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; laxative which physicians could

In supplying that demand with its ex-

on the merits of the laxative for its remark
