The Pure Food Law.

Secretary Wilson says: ''One of the objects of the law is to inform tte consumer of the presence of certain harmful drugs in medicine. The law requires that the amount of chloro- form, opinm, morphine, and other habit forming drugs be stated on the label of each bottle. The manufac- turers of Chamberlain's Cough Rem edy have always claimed that their reme dy did not contain any of these drugs, and the truth of this claim is fully proven, as no mention of them is made on the label. This remedy is not only one Of the safest, but one of the best in use for coughs and colds It's value has been prove beyond q ies- tion during the many years it has been in geueral use.

YETOES
 PROHIBITION BILL
The Governor Gives His Reasons Says Such Laws Are Against Self Gov ernment, Dnstroy Property
 and Reduce Revenue.

Nashville, Tenn, Jan. 19.- Governor Patterson this afternoon filed with the clerk of the senate a message vetoing the statewide prohibition bill which last week was passed by both houses of the legislature. The governors ac- tion followed adjournment of the senate, after 1t had passed on third reading the bill prohibiting the manufacture in Tennessee of intoxicating liquors. Consequent ly, the veto will be read to the senate tomorrow morning, when it must be sustained or the bill passed over the executives pro- test.
 On original passage the vote was 20 to l3. Opponents of the bill claim tonight that they can count on a change of three sena- tors to their side and that the fourth member, on whose vote the fate of the measure depends, is wavering. Should there be a change of four votes, the veto would be sustained l7 to l6. The bill is made effective July 1.
 Bill Prohibiting Manufacture Passes
 The bill prohibiting the manufacture of liquor was amen ded so as to become affective January 1, 1910, and the vote was 20 to l3 on the bill, also With the two laws on the stat ute books, property worth many m llliou dollars would be made practically worthless, vast reve- nues to the state, certain counties and cities would be cut off and anti-prohibitionists claim that taxes would necessarily become hurdensome.
 Patterson's Reasons for Veto.
 Iu his veto message Governor Patterson charges that such legislation is against the Demo cratic platform and the doctrine of self-government; that 1t sets aside the recorded will of the people; the experience has taught that no arbitrary prohibition law was ever obcyed aud its en. nactmeut brings no settlement of the question:; that 1t destroys property, reduces state revenues, increases taxation, takes money from the people to send it else where, foments discord, impair: the dignity of the commonwealth, fosters hypocrisy and invites evasion and deceit in the people

SLEPT ON CINDER PILE.
The Gas From Warm Clinkers Mad
 the Sleep Eternal.

Hot Springs, Jan. 26-Asphy- xiated in the open air was the fate of II. T. Bynum, address unknown, who was found dead here this morning near the Hot Springs Western roundhouse.
 The man had apparently lain down on large cinder heap to rest for the night, choosing that spot because the cinder bed was warm.
 The gas arising through the cinders caused death, while asleep, was the verdict of the coroner's inquisitiou. The man was about 40 years of age, we'll dressed and probably had just arrived in the city and stepped from the train to his deathbed.

MADE A HIT LAST YEAR
Gave Days Endeavor to Assist Mena's Public Library and Turned
 in S75.00 in Cash.

The Lord is said to help those who help themselves, and the Mena high school pupils proposed to put the adage to tesr, not by merely theorizing but by work ing-and almost any kind ot work in their line.
 As the boys and girls get used to the new High School building they discover that there are lots of things needed that the school board cannot furnish-at least not for an indefinite period--until the money at command can be increased. To need things and want things is one thing and to get them quite another. One may be merely negative state, leading finally to indifference, but the latter means determina- ton, energy, action aud thought. These elements are not lacking in Mena's high school, as the people will soon find out.
 Among the things needed and desired in the high school is a piano-this is merely one among the many wants-wants, too, that are going to be satisfied and here's how it's to be done.
 On last Friday the pupils called at the homes and stores and asked for work of any kind. Some made and sold hamburger, chili, coffee, chocolate, popcorn, candy, etc. They were an indus trious lot and they worked with energy and at the close of their days labors they had, by their united efforts, gathered neat sum, about S00.00,
 It will be remembered that last year the high school pupils turned out and made a similar effort, that time in behalf of Mena's public library. They turned over at the end of the day about $500.

 state, was introduced by Senator Carlock of Madison. The bill amends section 3620 of Kirby's Digest. Senator Henderson oi
 Randolph offered an amend men' to the amendment so that wild ducks may also be shipped, Senator Carlock says the rabbits are killing the fruit trees in his section of the state, and that il the act be amended so the rabbit: may be shipped to foreign mar kets, 1t will be an incentive for boys to kill rabbits and at tue same time make little money by shipping them to markets out side the state.
 Senator Wingo of Sevier in. troduced a resolution, whi1h was adopted, providing that the Judiciary committee report bil, that will embrace general law governing the running at large of stock and legal fences for counties.

SALVATION ARMY THE
. REFUGE Of ALL OUTSIDE
THE REGULAR CHURCHES

A large mass meeting for men held
in the First M. e. church of Massillon
Sunday afternoon was addressed by
Brigadier Lamb OF the Salvation Army
who is holding special revival meet
!ngs at the local barracks. A large
crowd occupied the church and enjoy
ed beside the speaking, well selected
program of music.
The text OF Mr.. Lamb was taken
from the fourth chapter of Amos,
eleventh verse as follows: 81 have
eyerthrown some of you as God over
threw Sodom and Gomorrah and ye
were as a firebrand plucked from the
burning; yet have ye not returned
unto me-" His talk was a strong
appeal to manhood. In speaking OF
the work which the Salvation Army
is doing he said: THE Methodist
church is for taking care of the Meth
odists, the Baptist church to care for
the Baptlsts and other churches for
their own people, but it is the pro-
vince of the Salvation Army to care
for all humanity outside of the
churches" The support of the Saliva
tion Army was also touched upon.
In addition to the speaking a song
service was conducted by Captain
Henderson. Captain Henderson is late
of the Scottish Highlands and gave
an exhibition of the use of the bag
pipe, the national musical instrument
Cf Scotland. He sang several songs
and accompanied himself upon the

TO WAGE BATTLE
ON ARMORY BILL
SENATORS SAY 1T SMACKS TOO
MUCH OF NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.
ED BY WEYBREcHT.

Columbus, Feb. 28.-Declaring that
the measure smacks too much of mil
itarism, members of the senate who
voted for the Lawyer armory bill,
which passed the upper branch Thurs
day, plan to gain the reconsideration
this week. 1t looks as though the op.
position which has developed among
Republican members of the senate will
be sufficient to defeat it on the vote to
reconsider.
In effect, the bill is per capita tax
for the support of the military 1t
avoids constitutional complications by
providing that the tax be paid out of
the county general funds, but the
rate is fixed at ten cents per head of
population. That is expected to raise
100000 this year. BY the 1910 census
it will doubtless be Increased to $780,
900. There are now something more
than 1000 militiamen in Ohio. A year
from now the tax would raise 800 an
nually for each. The intention of the
bill is to use this for the construction
of armories.
Some senators have explained that
they voted for the bill in the hope
that it would do away with the $780,
0G0 anLIal appropriation for the Ohio
National Guard. The fact of the mat
ter is that patriotism had more to do
with the passage of the bill than any
other influence. Now many senator's
are willing to undo the thing.
Adjutant General Weybrecht has
given out an interview boosting the
Lawyer bill TIE adjutant general
says the bill Is eminently proper.
at Is clearly a necessity that armor-
les be provided" he says. "The gen.
eral assembly has been fairly liberal
with the national guard, but no set
tied policy has been adopted or can
be adopted toward the building of
armories until this bill passes. The
total cost for armories is not to ex-
ceed S1,500.000, and this will he dis
tributed in fifteen years, in sums from
$4,000 to 100000 a year. This will
not be hardship and will bring good
results.
"Neighboring states have a general
levy for militia. The policy of the
national government is to encourage
the military in the states. A tax
against the population and ckargeable
to the county is the only method that
presents itself The national guard
appropriations at present are subject
to falling revenues, and there is no
telling what the legislature may
neglect the guard entirely.
"The Lawyer bill will relieve the
general revenue of the state approx
imately $350.000 a year. The state
has spent $4,000,O0O for armory pur-
poses in the last 20 years and has not
a visible asset to show for it."

CONCRETE FLOORS
AS PER CONTRACT
RECEIVER OF COLUMBUS FIRM
WILL FURNISH MATERIAL
BILLS PASSED.

The new building now under con-
struction by the board of public safe
ty will have reinforced concrete floors,
Just as the contract calls for. Some
time ago 1t was reported that the In
ternational Fencing and Fireproofing
company, of Columbus. had went into
the hands of receiver and that ii
was very doubtful if their part of the
work could be carried out. While in
Columbus a day or two since Solicitor
Blake called upon the receiver and
he was assured that the company was
able to furnish everything but the ca
bles and that If Contractor Huff would
purchase the wires that the cables
would be made by the firm. They can
make the cables in ten days after the
wire is purchased and sent to them.
The court will not allow the receiver
to purchase the raw material It is
thought that this arrangement will be
satisfactory
Members Hall and Fielding, the
committee on repairs, will have the
roof at No. house cared for at once.
Chief Mesnar called attention to the
condition of the furnace at No. and
No. 3 houses, but the council refused
in making the appropriations to give
the board money for this work
