Has a Bill for Pure Seed.

Commissioner Fred H. Phillips of
the Department of Agriculture says
he is preparing a bill to be presented
to the Arkansas General Assembly
requiring that nothing but pure seed
be sold in Arkansas. This bill will
be similar to the acts in force in
many other states, and aims to cor
rect the evil practiced by many deaf
ers of shipping to this state great
quantities of garden, farm and flower
seed containing many noxious weed
seeds and cracked grains, and in.
many cases having but small per
cent over half of terminating seed.
If the bill as proposed becomes a
law, dealers in seeds will have to GER
tify to the agricultural department
that their seed is pure, and where
the seed does not come up to the re-
quired standard the dealers certify
ing their seed to be pure will be
prosecuted.

Approve Income Tax.

Senate Joint resolution by Senator
Covington, providing an amendment to
the constitution authorizing the levy
of an income tax, was passed by the
senate with little opposition
Senator Covington stated that there
was strong sentiment in the state
for such a law, which was preferable
to the one proposed by congress. In
stead of federal income tax, he
said, the people of Arkansas would
prefer a tax from which the state,
instead of the general government,
would derive the benefit.
The proposed amendment provides
that the general ASSEMBLY shall have
power to provide for the levy of a
tax upon the annual income of all
persons and corporations doing bus
mess in Arkansas, provided that only
so much of such income as exceeds
the sum Of $4,000 shall be subject to
such tax, and provided further, that
such incomes shal be subject to tie
same rate of taxation as is now pro-
vided by the constitution of the
State

of state Board of Horticulture, was
called up on third reading in the
house, but placed back on second
reading for amendment The bill
calls for an appropriation of $1,000
for the expenses of a board Of hor.
ticulture TO compile data for the ben
eft of the fruit growers. Objection
was raised to it on the ground that

resentative Kersh sent up a new bill
TO be used as substitute. 1t pro-
vides that the commissioner Of mines,
manufactures and agriculture shall
have a deputy at salary Of 500 per
month, whose sole duty it shall be
to look after the horticultural inter.
ests Of the State.

Will Ask for an Infirmary.

The joint committee composed OF
members of the senate and house
who recently inspected the Arkansas
tuberculosis Sanatorium at Boone
vile will recommend to the legisla-
ture the passage of a bill for the
appropriation of $4,000 for the cree
ton of an infirmary at the sanato-
rum and three additional cottages
for the care of the patients, together
with other Improvements, such as tho
sinking of an additional well. fencing
and general improvements of the
ground. A recommendation will also
be made that 100000 be appropriated
by the state for the maintenance a:
the institution for the next two years.
AS there has been no hospital build
ing at the sanatorium, the necessity
for one makes it necessary that such
a building be erected in order To-
care for the increasing number Of
patients and growing demands of the
institution.

With the Legislators
Insurance Bill Meets Opposition.

insurance Bill MeetS OppoSl'Ioh'
Senator Fletcher's bill providing
for the licensing of insurance ad-
justers and for the payment of taxes
on premiums not otherwise taxed, is
meeting with considerable opposition
1t was argued before the committee
on insurance that the act would only
create a trust in the State in that
line, and that it was wrong, mas
much as it prevented persons from
getting the benefit of cheap insur-
ance.
The Gotten men said they were op-
posed to the bill, as they believed the
new plan would be unsatisfactory.
Those favoring the bill cCntended
that it would serve to protect COM
panies doing business in the State
and who were paying taxes on the
privilege.
The bill provides that any person,
except regularly licensed agents act
ing as adjusters of losses for fire,
life or accident insurance companies,
shall pay into the State treasury so
per year, and that those purchasing
insurance upon any property in the
State, not regularly admitted to do
business in Arkansas, shall pay a tax
of 10 per cent on all the gross prem
iums on all policies purchased. The
act also requires the payment of
2 1-2 per cent on all losses collected.

CHILDREN AFFECTED
BY Mothers Food and Drink.

Many babies have been launched
into life with constitutions weakened
by disease taken In with their moth
ers' milk. Mothers cannot be too care
full as to the food they use while nurs-
ing their babes.
The experience OF Kansas City

II was a great coffee drinker from a
child, and thought could not do with
out II. But found at last 1t was do
ing me harm. For years | had been
troubled with dizziness, spots before
my eyes and pain in my heart, to
which was added, two years later, a
chronic sour stomach.
"The baby was born 7 months ago,
and almost from the beginning. 1t, too,
suffered from sour stomach. She was
taking II from me!
'In my distress consulted a friend
OF more experience and she told me
to quit coffee, that coffee did not
make good milk have since ascer-
tanned that It really dries up the milk.
80 quit coffee and tried tea and
at last cocoa. But they did not agree
with me. Then turned to Postum
with the happiest results. It proved
TO be the very thing | needed. 1t not
only agreed perfectly with baby and
myself, but It increased the flow Of
my milk.
my husband then quit coffee and
used Postum and quickly got well OF
the dyspepsia with which he had been
troubled no longer suffer from the
dizziness, blind spells, pain In my
heart or sour stomach.
Now we all drink Postum from my
husband TO my seven months old
baby. 1t has proved TO be the best
hot drink we have ever used. We
would not give up Postum for the best
coffee we ever drank" Name given
