EVIL
GETS DEATH BLOW


Campbell, who introduced the great
blanket anti-gambiing bill, which was so
successfully buried on the table Of the
District Committee room.
When the House. still in Committee
of the Whole. finished its consideration
of all the District business. Mr. Dali
zell. who had been acting as chairman.
left the chair and reported to Speaker
Cannon the sundTy bills which had
been considered and We're recommended
for passage.
Under the regular procedure the
clerk then read the title of these bills,
and if no objection or amendment was
offered, they were considered as having
been read the third time and passed
When the bill for the widening of
Benning road was reached. Mr.. Sims
stopped the clerk before the Speaker
had pronounced it read the third time
and passed. and proposed the amend
ment given above.
What Motion Proposed.
Mr. Sims motion proposed that the
bin be recommitted to the House Dis
triet Committee. with instructions to
report on it and his amendment IA
vorably.
This motion carried. Then Il was
discovered by some Of the wise pariia-
mentarians present that the motion did
not make it essential that the recon-
mitted bill, with the Sims amendment,
be reported back at once.
Once more Gen. Sims led the attack
and this time moved that tho vote on
his previous motion be reconsidered.
This was done and Mr.. Sims proposed
then that the bin be recommited with
his amendment 10 the District Com
mittee, with instructions to fayorabIy
report IL forthwith"
Chairman Smith. Of the District Com
mittee, who had not taken sides one way
or the other on the original propose. of
Mr.. Sims, or any Of the subsequent move
ments Of that able Tennessee general. then
perforce reported the bill back to the
House with the Sims amendment and
with the recommendation that il pass.
il passed. too There were seventy votes
in favor Of the passage of the amendment
to four against it, and when the vote was
taken on the bill as amended there was
rot dissenting voice heard
First as n Bill.
Mr. Sims amendment which he first
drew up and introduced as bill. is con-
sidered 10 contain all that is necessary 10
stamp out the evil az the Benning track.
It was brought up before the District
Committee several days ago. but along
with other measures OF importance. II
was shelved in the Oblivion Of a glass
covered closet.
The Campbell bill, which struck at the
high. the low. the jack. the game. and the
joker YVES laid reverently upon the ma
hogany table and would probably have
laid there, Tevered and in peace. during
the remainder of the session.
Gen. Sims won against odds.
Representative Bennett Of New York.
who takes much interest in this class of
legislation. Immediately telegraphed Gov.
Hughes that righteousness had prevailed
in the House. He expects further that the
Senate will promptly agree 10 the meas
ure. thus shutting out the bookmakers
at the present meeting.

Fears of a Nervous Child.

Great care should be taken Of the
nervous child, especially IL he is both
cred by nervous fears. Do not ridi-
cule his fears, for this will not cure
them. Reason with him and urge
him to try to Overcome them with
your help. II you find he has great
difficulty in quieting his fears of the
dark. you might try having low
light burning in his room or in the
hall near his room. The only objec-
ton to this is that the habit, once
formed, is hard to break and it will
be trying for him to sleep without a
light. A disease to which nervous
children are subject is called might
terrors." which is different from bad
dreams and nightmare. although
some children suffer great fright and
terror from these. A child who has
might terrors" will often wake mp

Planning Sunday Dinners.

Many women prefer entertaining
guests for Sunday dinner to any other
time of the week. because the lord
of the mansion" is able to share the
pleasure of friends visits at this
time. When desiring to do this, the
hostess is confronted with the prob
lem of serving satisfactory dinner
and still having time to visit with the
guests. This can be accomplished by
the use of the English casserole.
Saturday morning put the roast in
the casserole and cook it until it is
almost done, then set it away in a
cool place until half an hour before
dinner time on Sunday, when it
should be put on for the final cook
ing. In this way the hostess can
spend all but the last half hour be-
fore dinner with her guests.

To Obtain Good Carriage.

If woman has fine carriage and
a graceful walk, she will be called .
handsome woman, even though she
may not be pretty in the face. One
of the best ways to obtain swinging
walk from the hips Is to practice
walking with something poised on the
head.
The Hindoo girl, who walks with
a graceful, willowy, swaying motion,
can walk with a pitcher of water on
her head, unsupported by her hand,
simply because she moves from her
hips instead of from her waist. Prac-
tice walking about the room, up and
down stairs with book poised on the
head, then remove the book and try
to keep the position. Because this
position compels you to hold your
head up and your chin tilted, do not
imagine that you must accompany 1t
with a naughty expression, for this
is silly and will only impress the
wrong people.

Appetizing Leftovers.

Leftovers may have distinctive
flavor and will be far more palatable
and delicious If the housewife knows
how to spice them properly.
Every cook should have in her pam
try bottle of kitchen sauce, pack
age of paprika, bottle of curry pow
der and a can Of pimentos. These
are all inexpensive and with them one
can concoct the most delicious and
savory of dishes from last nights NUT
ton or Sundays roast. A few drops
Of lemon juice add much to the ordi-
nary beef stew. A little curry pow
der in minced lamb or mutton will
change 1t from an ordinary dish to
one eft for the gods" Tobasco sauce
is also economical, as the quantity
used is measured by drops and the
bottle thus lasts long time. 1t is
delicious addition to oysters, chow
ders and meats.
