The question of tho breaking OF the

the matter. The bill was unfavorably

There was considerable debate over
the bills offered by Mr.. Martin VIII
liams, providing for the purchase Of
5000 volumes of Pollard's Code. and for
the recodhcation of the laws by a
commission, Mr., Williams advocated
the latter bill, though 1t came from
the Committee on Finance with an adj
verse report. 1t was also favored by
Mr.. Byrd (NIr. Cox in the chair) and by
Mr.. Cation, of Alexandria.
The bill to revise the Code through
a commission was engrossed after
further discussion, and the one pro-
viding for the purchase OF 5000 copies
of Pollard's Code was dismissed, upon
motion of the patron.

Woods Hutchinson in the Woman's

''In short, sugar is after meat, bread
and butter easily our next most impor-
lant and necessary food. You can put
the matter to a test very easily. Just

Eerts at your lunch or midS1y dinner
You'll be astonished to find how quick
ly you'l feel empty again and how
unfinished the meal will seem. You
can't get any workingman to accept a
dinner pail without pie in It. And he's
absolutely right. The only thing that
can take the place Of sugar here is
beer or wine. 1t is a significant fact
that the free lunch counters run In
connection with bars furnish every
imaginable thing except sweets. Even
the restaurants and lunch grills at
tached to saloons or bars often refuse
to serve desserts Of any sort. They
know their business. The more sugar
and sweets a man takes at meal the
less alcohol he wants. Conversely
nearly every drinking man will tell
you that he has lost his taste for
sweets. The more candy a nation con-
sumes the less alcohol

is born of puritanism and stinginess In

must be bad for them, according to the

cHILDREN'S HAIR.
Brush the 5aby's Looks Upward In
stead Of Downward.

Brush the 5sby's Looks Upward In
stead Of Downward.
A baby's hair should always be
brushed upward instead Of downward,
and as each lock is treated It should
be given a little twist with the finger,
this operation having particularly good
and lasting effect when the hair is
damp.
Persevered in daily, this will be
found to work wonders, even in cases
where the natural growth was perfect
ly straight, although it must be noted
that for the first week or two before
the hair has become accustomed to the
upward trend the effect is hardly pleas
ing. One Of the best shampoos for a
child's hair, especially when long and
thick, consists OF a well beaten egg
made into a froth with hot water and
rubbed into the roots of the hair
Borax and ammonia-especially the
latter-should be sparingly used, am
monia in particular being inclined to
damage the color and simmer of fair
hair, while it frequently causes 1t to
become brittle and split at the ends.
No curling fluids should ever be used
for children's hair, but If too dry lit
tie brilliantine rubbed well into the
roots will promote a healthy growth
and further induce a pretty wave and
curl.
