 Mastin Dog Tax
 Representative Peter B. Mastins an- nual dog tax law reached the senate early in the day. Senator Screws stated that he thought the $2 and $1 tax a meritorious one.
 Senator Atkins spoke against the measure, declaring that the law was just as useless as dogs are He stated that if there is one dog in Dallas county there are at least 30,000. While he did not advocate perpetuation of the canines, he said that heINwas op- posed to the tax.
 Senator Norman proposed an amend ment to except certain dogs from the act, but the amendment was tabled Senator Screws thereupon after little more wrangling moved that the bill be made special order for Thursday noon, which was carried.
 The calendar was then taken up, and bills were passed as follows:

ROUTINE WORK IN a' SENATE YESTERDAY

Montgomery, March 4.-(special )-Circu- lation of statements by the Rev. Brooks Lawrence and the Rev. A. E. Page, pur- porting to show that State Senator N. D. Godbold of Wilcox county had left the prohibitionists' fold upon persuasion of the local optionists caused the Alabama senate to go on record today as satisfied with the senator's course. Not a dis senting voice was raised to a resolution !, which was presented to the body by State Senator Sherrod, in which resolution the upper legislative branch declared that it was satisfied with the statement that the Wilcox senator made to the senate sev- eral days ago.
 For the most part the days work in the senate was fruitful for the passage of bills, F being passed in a session which lasted scarcely more than two hours. Ac- tion on several of the measures which were called from the calendar was de- ferred.
 Among the most important measures which were passed were Senator Moody's bill regulating the practice of veterinary surgery; MT. Jackson's bill providing punishment for the larceny of water melons and other fruits; MT. Browns bill providing for the establishment of a state dental board, and Senator Screws bill fixing the salary of the supreme court reporter.

Two and one-half yards of five-inch

yards of insertion, four inches wide,
together with half-yard of black
tulle for the lining, and yard Of
ribbon velvet for the bow (though it
may be made with less)-will make

would be three hours.

STOMACH NEEDS CARE.
INDIGESTION NEVER TO BE
TREATED LIGHTLY.
Proper Diet and Right Time for Meals
/. Are mportant-Expert Opinion
Given Here Is Very
Valuable.

How often this is a result OF nerv-
Gus strain is perhaps seldom realized!
A business man eats his lunch and
other meals in hurry with his mind
on business. His energies are being
consumed by his brain and very little
is left to be used in the digestion of
his food.
One should never eat when tired
and nervous. Take few moments
absolute rest before meals. If posi-
Bile lie down and relax all muscles for
few. minutes. Then eat your meal
slowly and if possible have some
pleasant companion who will talk with
you on subjects not connected with
your business cares. You will be sur
prised to note the improvement in
your digestion.
For the noon meal, office workers
should eat only light and easily d.
gested food. Eat your heaviest meal
after the work for the day is finished
and the blood which has been required
by the brain can. be spared to the
stomach. People doing manual labor
that requires physical strength need
and can digest heavy MONDAY meal,
but the requirements Of brain work
ers are quite different.
Indigestion and constipation often
are bosom friends. A regular daily
action of the bowels is necessary to
health. Constipation often may be
relieved by drinking glass of cold
water upon rising, at intervals during
the day and upon retiring. Fruit at
breakfast or figs taken after meals
often will relieve tendency to con-
stipation. Regularity in going to the
toilet is one of the most important
measures in treating constipation.
Choose a convenient time, preferably
right after breakfast, and always go
at the same time. At first you will
not have the desire, but the bowels
soon will form the habit. Laxatives
or cathartics should not be taken ex-
cept for an occasional dose or during
| illness upon the advice of a physi-
clan. So common is the practise of
| taking daily laXatives that it has be-
come national curse" People do
not realize that they are slaves to
this habit, so continue taking their
daily doses of teas" or waters"
Massage of the abdomen is usually
very beneficial in treating constipa-
ton 1t acts by stimulating the mus
cles and should be given at set tim ss
during the day, preferably before the
regular time of going to the toilet
The various vibrators act in a SINH
lar manner. Enema or injections OF
warm water may be taken occasional
| ly and then are beneficial. If long
continued they are very injurious, by
reason of their irritating effect upon
the mucous membrane lining the in.
testines. At times, when the stomach
and intestines have been overloaded
with irritating material, an enema is
one of the quickest measures for re
lief In obstinate constipation two OF
three ounces of warm olive oil inject
ed, slowly, into the rectum at night
and allowed to remain until morning
will soften the waste material so il
can be easily evacuated in the morn
ing.
