VALENTINES IN NEW FORM
Post Cards Take the Place of Old Comic
Valentines This Season

Valentines This Season
In one of Kenosha S valentine EN-
poriums, there are evidences that Febru
airy Ia is anticipated to the full extent
even though 1908 is leap year.
Said the proprietor of the establish
ment this morning: I'VE have beer
obliged to purchase valentines in great
er numbers than ever before Last
year we sold heavy stock and this
year the call promises to be ahead OF
anything we have ever had. -
The postal card is in high favor as
a valentine, including Buster Brown
Bugville. A charming Bugville card
states:
II shale be the 'lasses,
You can be the fly;
| shall be so dreadful sweet.
You IL get stuck on T.
The old fashioned penny comic, So
called, with its delicate humor, is grad
ually taking a back seat, although
many are still to be found. Some of
the thrillers in the form Of satin-lined
boxes, full of cupids and doves are on
sale, while many really artistic crea-
tions are also ready to be sent out by
ardent lovers. The japanese and Hia-
watha series are among the prettiest.
Booklets, dripping with treacle, are
shown, while the water color valen-
tines are desirah
Now what could be more irresistible
to the girl who has spent dreamy days
at the lakes and summer resorts than
this:
"Of all the fish in the ocean IS depths.
And in the lake of blue,
[ ID rather be the lucky one
That IS landed, dear, to you"
To just what extent the girls are to
take the initiative in the sending of
valentines remains to be seen. It can
be imagined what CONSERVATION might
reign in the habitat of some of the
eligible bachelors of the city February
IA to receive dainty composition Of
lace and roses and little darts, with the
beseeching:
30, won't you be my honey,
The thought my heart enchants,
L IL cook the things you like the best
And l viii patch your-socks.

Limit of Introduction of Bills
Is Saturday.
Little Opposition to Morgan
Concurrent Resolution.
LOCAL BILL QUESTION
Effort to Limit Session to Gen.
eral Measures Fails.
Board Of Health Wants Amend.
ments to Its Laws.

A concurrent resolution was intro
duced by w. Y. Morgan in the house
fixing Saturday noon, January 1S, as
the limit for the introduction of all
bills except committee bills. This res
olution was passed under suspension
of the rules with little opposition.
Ike Crumley. of Thomas county in
troduced a resolution to cut out all To-
cal bills and consider nothing what
ever at the present session except gen.
eral bills.
When this resolution was read it was
greeted by storm of mo, no, no.
Representative Cunningham made
the point of order that the matter was
not presented in proper form.
Representative Bird, of Shawnee. said
that he was opposed to the special
session, but that since it had come he
was willing to stay 80 days. There
are many local bills" he said, which
are just as important as general bills
Representative Ryan, Of Brown, was
opposed to taking up any local bills at
all
Representative Leydig, of Butler, ia
vored a vote on the resolution as in
dicating the sentiment of the house,
but did not think 1t would be binding
on the house.
Representative Crumley then with
a concurrent resolution prohibiting the
consideration Of all bills, except those
mentioned in the governors message,
the freight rate bill, and other bills
having unanimous consent. An effort
was made to suspend the rules and
take up the resolution, but 1t lacked
the necessary tWo-thirds vote. The
resolution laid over till Saturday.
Board of Health Wants Laws.
The state board of health has pre-
sented a couple of bills. One bill, If
passed, will be Of vital Importance to
cities of the state. The state board of
health asks for an amendment to the
present law, which will include the
regulation of sewage from municipall-
ties, as we'll as of systems owned by
individuals or corporations, when after
proper findings and a fair inVestiga-
ton, 1t is proven that continuance of
the discharge of sewage from any
municipality is a menace to public
health.
Another board of health bill is to shut
off absolutely the use Of sulphiteS as
preservatives.
Under the present law in order to
get conviction it is necessary to
prove that sulphites are harmful, the
courts holding that such proofs must
rest upon personal experience, or OBJ
servation in part at least, and it is nee
essary to have analysts make a
Quantitatlve analysis In order to prove
that the amount found in each partic-
ular sample was of sufficient quantity
| to be deleterious to health. Naturally
such litigation is full Of pitfalls, and
/ exceedingly expensive and unsatisfac-
| tory.
| The board wants a law absolutely
| prohibiting these embalming fluids to
| be used in the preparation Of meat pro-
| ducts, SO all that will be necessary for
| the department to prove is the presence
of either one of them in the sample
purchased.

WEATHER TO-DAY IS IDEAL.
Mercury Again Mounts to Near the
Fifty Mark.

This has been a glorious but sad day.
glorious for those who have been per
mitted to drink deep of its beauties,
its warm sunlight and midsummer tenn
peratures; but sad one for the boys
and girls who spent yesterday evening
in sharpening their skates in anticipa-

season. The weather man explains the
existing conditions by a statement that
today witnesses the passing of the cold
spell and says the conditions Saturday
will be much the same as those of to-
day.
Thursday was the first of the winter
when the mercury dropped below the
normal point and in the past it has
varied between s and 10 degrees above
that point, at that the temperatures
yesterday were but 8 degrees below

blowing all day from the northwest at
