DRASTIC LIQUOR
 LEGISLATION
Prohibition Party Would Make Saloon Keepers Re- sponsible for Damages Sustained by Men in Drink,
Especial from United Press.)

1 Hartford. Feb. 3.-This was excis' law day in the State House of Repre- sentatives. Several sweeping liquol bills were introduced by the temper ance interests today which if passed even considerably amended, would i mean the greatest curbing the demor rum has had in Connecticut in many a year.
 The most drastic of these bills, wficl
 were introduced at the instance of the
 Prohibition party, was one which pro vides that any person Whosoever who is injured by a person as the result of a persons having irnbibed intoxi. eating liquor, shall have a right of ac- tion against both the person who in. flicted the injury as a result of his drinking and against the person who sold him the liquor. Another touches on druggists liquor licenses and puts the fee at $10 prohibiting the sale for use on the premises; another limits 8 license to every 1000 population;' an-
 other is aimed at ''clubs'' where liquor is sold, calling them a common nui-
 sance; and another would amend the
 present system of town voting for or against license.
 One providing that ten per cent. of the money received for licenses shall
 go to the county for expenses, also was sent in.
 The Governor sent the following ap- pointments to the Senate today:
 B. $. Futile, Hartford and Leonard H. Healy Of Woodstock, as members of the State Board of Agriculture for four years from July 1, 1909, to suc- ceed themselves. Louis N. Sperry of South Windham and Dr. George H. Knight of Lakeville as members of the State Board of Pardons. MT. Sperry was re-appointed but pr. Knight suc- ceeds Dr. Francis Bacon of New Ha- ven. There were also introduced sev- eral resolutions making re-appoint- rnents as follows: Charles M. Jarvis. Berlin; Joseph W. Alsop, Avon; Will liam A. Allen. Ledyard; B. c. Allison, Torrington; Charles A. Cashen. Wflli- mantle, as trustees of the Connecticut Agricultural College. The Governor also sent in the appointment of John Coates as judge of the Hartford county Common Pleas court, and B. P. Peck of Bristol as associate judge in the same court; also one appointing Elijah Hubbard and Lieutenant Governor Frank B. Weeks as trustees of the Con- necticut Hospital for the Insane.
 The Senate in executive session con- firmed the nomination of Dr. Freder- ick G. Simpson to be State prison phy- sician; also those of the following members of the State Prison Board. E. E. Butler, Suffield; Frank G. Sum- mers, Hartford, and Willie o. Burr, Hartford

 to the embarrassment growing out of his little arrangement with the Smith sonian Institution. Many persons place a question mark behind that arrange ment. and there is no doubt that Mir. Roosevelt himself approached it with uneasiness and concluded it only by force of dire necessity. He is a man of acute sensitiveness The slightest suggestion of disingenuousness. inn pinging upon his consciousness. causes him acute anguish. Therefore it is probable that when he first turned his thoughts upon the Smithsonian deal it gave him the horrors.

Taft is to elevate him to the Cab net is dis credited by MT. Taft's sinister silence. In the Roosevelt Wild West Show there would be room for him. He is 8 master of all forms of ordnance: he practises assiduously at the Rixey rifle range; he can knock the eye out of d horse-fy at 200 yards. Clad in fur and a buckskin waistcoat, he would wiring hearty huzzas from the pOpulaco.

So vastly wou'd it profit him and so we'll fitted is he for the work that it calls to him with the forceful and insistent voice of Manifest Destiny"

causs of car Sickness.

W. c. Wood attributes car sickness
 b the nystagmus produced by looking
 out of the car windows. Look out of
 car window and observe how
 rapidly the telegraph q oles fit by. Each one is seen and in, oluntarily f0l-
 lowed by the eye until it Is opposite,
 when the eye shifts to the one follow
 Ing. This is true of near buildings. Objects farther away seem to move slower, and those very far of seem to be almost stationary until the whole landscape appears to be revolving round a common center. The un- conscious effort to take in everything produces a rapid lateral oscillation of the eyeballs, as any one can observe by watching the eyes of his fellow passengers. The eye strain iS enor- nous and Is the chief factor in pro ducing car sickness. This can be proved by asking a patient who is subject to car sickness to look steadily to and fro or tilted backward and forward. He will immediately com plain of nausea and vertigo. The treatment consists of advising the patient to avoid looking out of the car windows and in giving him grain of citrated caffeine shortly before he takes the cars and repeating it every hour as long as there is any tendency to be sick.

What the Peruvians Believed.

A unique idea of the future state was that of the ancient Peruvians. As the disembodied soul winged its way to eternity it encountered two rocks. upon one of which it must needs rest. The choice was deter mined by the morality of the life in the flesh. If it rested upon the left hand rock it was instantly translated to "Po," or oblivion, state analogous to the Nirvana of the orient. If through early misdeeds, however, the unhappy spirit was guided to the right hand rock 1t entered into a purga- torial hell where fends grated away the flesh from all the bones in suc- cession, after which the skeleton was reclothed and sent back to earth for another try. There was no haste about this grating process. It took over 10000 years.
