Republican senator's after returning
to the capital. "Mr. Taft has decided
that there must be an extra session
and that he will call it earlier than

Democratic leaders wanted a

Democratic leaders in the house
diffe- in their views as to the length

four or five months would be ample

reached during July Chairman Un-

might run. on until October /. All
these, are Of course, guesses.
The selection of committees, those
on accounts, mileage and rules first

tempted in the event congress meeta

with the ways and means committee,
which is vested with tie function Of

the senate at the regular session, will
pass the house in extra session II the

OF the special sessions called In

ANOTHER RAID ON GAMBLERS
Nine Negro Men Caught in the Act
and Two Made Good Their Escape.

Sunday morning at $3.50 o'clock
Sheriff j. D. Conlee, Constable c. l..
Baker and Night Policeman Albert
Morley made another raid on a negro
gambling hangout and succeeded in
catching nine negro bucks in the act
There were eleven in the game, but
two made good their escape. They
were in negro house in Freedman
town. Everything in that part of town
was quiet and the officers went about
their work as slyly as cats watching
for mice and when they entered the
house no little excitement ensued.
Every available covert was sought, I'M
der beds, behind doors, under tables,
but at word from the sheriff they
were dragged from their hiding places
and arrested.
This is the fourth raid in the last
three months and this is the smallest
number yet caught. The sheriff, ably
assisted by the other officers, is max
ing it hot for the lazy, gambling class
of good-for-nothing negroes, and when
not arrested on charge of vagrancy
in the day time they are arrested at
night for gambling. The good work
will continue.

CONGREGATION AT THE
TENT SUNDAY NIGHT
Evangelist Watson Preached Powerful
Sermon on the Prodigal Son.

Three persons have united with the
church at the tent meeting since our
last report, and quite number of 9TH
ers have been converted
Last night there was a very large
congregation. The tent was full of
people, and all around on the side
walls and in buggies in the streets the
people gathered to hear the singing
and especially to hear the evangelist
preach the gospel. He spoke last night
on The Prodigal Son." He discussed
it in three acts and in the three scenes
which followed His picture of the
young man at home was beautiful, of
the young man feeding the swine, was
pathetic, and of the young man return
ing home was glorious No doubt great
good will follow such sermon, At
the close of the service two persons
united with the church and after the
was dismissed a young
man was converted. Everybody is in
vited to the tent meeting at the court
house. Services every day at 10 a. m.
and every night at o'clock.

Bread and Dyspepsia.

The conclusion that wheat bread Is
unfit for dyspeptics, sometimes Jump.
ed at because III effects are noticed to
follow its use, is erroneous. On the
contrary. it has been pointed out by
Bouchard and others that farinaceoua
food is peculiarly adapted to some dys
peptic patients. 1t Is the microbes In
the starch which are capable of pro.
ducing irritating acids that cause the
trouble. To avoid this Bouchard rec
ommends that only the crust or toast.
ed crumbs of the bread be used by
dyspeptics. particularly those whose
stomachs are dilated The reason ~
this is explained by the fact that bak.
ing temporarily. though not permu
nently arrests the fermentation of
dough. When 1t Is again heated by
the warmth of the stomach the fer.
mentation is renewed. In cases where
the bread is toasted brown through
the fermentation is stopped perm0

GREAT is MAN MON

Over month ago we called atten-
ton to the fact that the referee board
had upheld Doctor Wiley's contention
that saccharin was injurious and, on
the strength of this decision, the sec
rotary of agriculture had declared that
after July 1 of this year saccharin-
containing foods would be regarded
as adulterated under the food and
drugs act. OF course, protest at
once was made by those whose pocket
books would be hurt by the decision;
namely, the manufacturers of sac
charm and those food dopers" who
think more of dividends than of pub
lie health. They pointed out that vast
sums of money had been invested in
the saccharin business and that the
order issued by the government would
practically destroy this business. The
wall was needed, and the sale of food
stuffs that are adulterated with "a poi
sonous and deleterious substance" in.
stead of being prohibited after July
l, 1911, has been permitted to continue
until May l, 1912. The fact that sac
charm is a harmful substance. and
that in the interest of the public health
its use in food should be prohibited,
counts as nothing when the almighty
dollar is at stake According to the
