WOMEN, SPIT. AND THE
 "TT BERCILOSIS MAN"

The little woman who so f3r for gets herself to allow herself to ap- pear on the streets with a trailing gown, whether thlcugh the ethics or plain. ordinary style, and who is bent upon being just as unsanitary and just as 'str2ilings as she pleases while engaged in the pleasant prac- tice of delegating herself as a cGm mittee of one to mop up the streets with the hem of gIeWn. has found a champion, according U Bonnie Burnham of the Pensacola Journal, in the good natuIed "anti-tuberculosis man. who is working around locally and doing stunts generally for the love of the thing and for sweet hu- manity S sake.
 The "Tuberculosis Man" is going to make the men step splitting.
 He knows the ways of women, evi- dently, and feels away down deep in his heart of hearts that, in attempting to bring about dress reform, he would call down the wrath of the 10th century goddesses upon his defense less head.
 He knows that.
 So he is going to put it up to the men.
 It's horrid to spit, anyhow.
 If you are a man. get some pretty little woman to tell you about it.
 After she tells you how her foolish gowns are spoiled and draggled and placed in perfectly awful condition, by one appearance on Palafox street you'll probably decide at once that all men-that spit-are indeed deep-dyed villains who ought to be lynched inn mediately.
 But don't do it-don't lynch them, you know.
 See the Tuberculosis Man.
 The "man" has organized an asso- CrdtIOu lO Ut kIIOWl as tHe A\O 0pll league-dainty, isn't it?-the motto of which is Lest We Forget and Spit,'' the countersign, Don't Spit the battle cry, ''No Spit, No Consump- tion,' and the platform, ''Msn Spits Because of Bad Health and Bad Hab- it's The pledge that each member has to take is as follows:
 1. I will try not to spit when it, is not necessary. ?. I will try to spit carefully when I do spit.
 8. I will try to make esch spit tn Q last spit.

He believes resolution introduced
today to that effect will pass the
house, despite the fact that it would
destroy one of the greatest assets of
the obscure congressman who prints
speeches for home consumption and
campaign purposes. Heretofore many
of the printed speeches have been
filled with parenthetical remarks of
cloud and prolonged applause, "

expose this vainglorious custom and

MAP OUT PROGRAMME.
House Democrats Will Decide on
Course Tonight.

Washington. April 11.-At a caucus
of house Democrats to be held tonight
it is expected the legislative program
of the extra session will be determine
ed. The plan of the ways and means
committee including the order of bust
ness will be submitted by Chairman
Underwood and probably adopted.
The prevailing opInion is that the
committee will urge the caucus to
take up first the Canadian reciprocity
agreement which will be introduced
as the Underwood bill, and to allow
time for hearings. Meanwhile bills
relating to popular election of sena-
tors, publication before election of
campaign contributions and statehood
for Arizona and New Mexico also will
be introduced.
The election of the committees to-
day occupied more than two hours
and called out bitter partisan discus
sion. The Republicans charged the
Democrats with unfairness in cutting
down the minority representing on the
more important committee. The DEM
ocrats defended the action because
they had arranged the proportionate
representation on the committee ac-
cording to the majority they have in
the house. A number of instructions to

the form of resolutions and the house
then adjourned until tomorrow.
