ChiIdren's Scalp Troubles.

Children are subject to many kinds
of scalp troubles, such as scales, sores,
scabs ringworm. etc. If neglected,
they spread and develop into serious
diseases. Scratching aggravates the
trouble and increases the danger of
infection by other children. Cadum,
the new remedy, stops the itching at
once and begins healing with the first
application. Its prompt use in any
scalp trouble will save much suffering
and anxiety. Cadum is good for any
sore or eruption on the face or body.

The initiative and referendum are

ments introduced. Equal suffrage was

ments allowing special taxation of

interest and providing for a graduated
inheritance tax
change in the mode of amending
the state constitution so that amend
ments may be made by majority vote
of the Legislature followed by ma
jority vote of the people is proposed
in another amendment
The unwieldy size of the Legislature
which has been considered by pre-
vious constitutional conventions is
taken up in amendments proposing
an increase in the Senate from "A to
so members and a reduction in the
membership of the House by giving
one representative to each town ex-
cept Claremont. the largest i'm the
state, which would have three. and
three to each city except Manchester.

The final amendment proposed, to-
day. was one establishing the term of
