TAX ON MEDICINE VENDORS.
Legislature May Make Peodiers' Bill
Cover Them.


Guthrie, Okla March Although
the senate has killed the pharmacy
bill which contained a provision ~
a tax Of $500 for itinerant medicine
vendors, the matter is likely to come
up again in another form in connec.
iton with the Holland bill in the
house taxing peddlers of clocks,
stoves, agricultural implements, bug
gics and similar articles which also
incidentally may go after the medi-
cine peddlers At least that is the
intention of the Oklahoma Retail
Merchants association, which indors-
ed the Holland BILL with few
amendments, at meeting held here
last week.
The proposed taxing of medicine
vendors has brought forth a greater
flood OF petitions than any ouaer mat
ter which has come before the legis-
laturc, sometimes iortyfive or fifty
of them being received in one day.
These petitions were all evidently in
spiIcd from the same source and the
charge has openly been made by
! Speaker Murray and other members
of the house Of representatives that
many of them were rank fakes. Sey.

WOMEN PLEAD FOR
 THE RIGHT ID VOTE

 quently interrupted with applause. He paid a glowing tribute to womanhood and earnestly advocated universal suffrage He said that many sound reasons of an economic nature could be advanced why woman should be given the ballot. In reply to question by MT. Alexander as to whether woman had been given uni Versal suffrage of the new state of Okla homa, he replied that they had not; that their suffrage was limited to voting on school question. He claimed that the sa- loon element in Oklahoma had defeated the universal suffrage proposition and said that if women had questioned every candidate before the election they would have carried that point.
 MT. Alexander inquired of Senator Owen if he would be willing to give the ballot to the low class of immigrant women who come to this country.
 In Favor of Women.
 Yes" replied Senator Owen, .because the vote of the male immigrants is large ly dominated by the saloon and brothel influences, and the vote of the women would counteract the votes of this class of males" The senator pointed out that in the states where woman suffrage is universal the percentage of women con vcts is very low. He said in Wyoming there is not one woman now in the peni- tenI1ary. lie cOntenQed that the vote of the woman would largely be against corporation and immortality in the states.
 At the conclusion of the hearing Mrs. Upton stated to the committee that for years women had been coming before Congress asking for their rights, but that the committees before which they appear had taken no action on their peti- tions. She now asked the judiciary com mittee if 1t could not make a favorable report on the. joint resolution, to make an unfavorable one-so that the question may be discussed on the floor of the House
 Among the speakers before the Senate committee were Mrs. Isabelle c. Bar rows. wife of former Representative Barrows, and Mrs. Ella Crossett and Anna Miller of New York, Mrs Ella S. Stewart of Illinois, Mrs. Ida Husted Harper, Susan B. Anthony's biographer; Mrs Laura Clay of Kentucky and Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt.
 Miss Miller of New York protested against a condition that forces women to pay the taxes and forbids them to vote for what they want.
 She said that Governor Hughes of New York had epitomized the case of women suffra gists fin three words: Something for nothing"
 You are," she said, addressing mem- bers of the committee, "uncrowned SOW ereigns, likewise our employees; employed by voters but paid in part by women.
 Mrs. Clay asserted that liquor forces constitute the only real opposition to equal suffrage.

HOUSE IN TREEToP.

A farmer living in Wrentham, Mass, small village near Provi- dence, R. l., has built house in ! the tops of two adjoining pine trees on his farm and will spend the winter there. The man is 35 years } old and has been consumptive for } several years.
 ! The "house' is about 9x6 with a door and two windows, which will be closed only to keep out snow 1, and rain. Access is had by means \ of a rope ladder which, Robinson Crusoe-like, will be drawn up each night.
 } Medicine is not of much use to A cure consumption. Fresh air and clean living are the essential forces , to combat the dread white scourge. Every precaution should be em- ployed to prevent the germs from settling on the lungs, and coughs and colds should not be neglected. To break up a cold quickly and cure , any cough that is curable, mix half ounce Virgin Oil of Pine with ? ounces of glycerine and a half pint of good whisky. Shake well and take teaspoonful every four hours. Five ounces of
 tincture Cinchona compound can be used instead of whisky with the same effect.
 This mixture will usually break
  , up a cold over night Care should
 be exercised to use only the genu- inc Virgin Oil of Pine, which is pre- pared in the laboratories of the Leach Chemical Co.,, Cincinnati, O., , and put up for dispensing, only in
 1a-ounce vials, each securely sealed in round wooden case. It is bet ter to purchase the different in- gradients separately and mix them , at home.
