LOBBYISTS, Living Precarious.

Annapolis. at those who,
pretending great influence in the Leg
islature collect fees from institutions
receiving State aid as remuneration
for alleged services, is bill offered
by Senator Dodson of Talbot county.
1t is intended to reach the lobbyists,
legal or otherwise. The essential pro-
vision of the bill is clause requiring
the persons directly responsible for
the disbursement of State aid money
received to pledge themselves when
the quarterly payments are made that
no part of them shall be paid over
to any lobbyist, but shall be used en-
tirely for the purposes for which the
money was donated. 1t is realized that
such a clause may prove inadequate.
Efforts will be made to strengthen the
bill all along the line.

whereby employers can protect them

For Electric Chair.

is.-Electrocution instead OF
hanging for persons convicted of MUIR
der in the first degree is provided in
a bill which Wooden of Carroll county
sent to the House engrossing room.
The bill provides, contrary to the
wishes of Warden John F. Weyler OF
the State Penitentiary, in Baltimore,
that the electrocutions shall take place
in the Penitentiary. The bill provides
further that whenever a man is con-
victed of first degree murder and
sentenced, the Clerk of the Court shall
transmit to the Governor a complete
record of the trial within 80 days af-
ter sentence, or in the event of an
appeal, within 20 days after the final
disposition of the case in court, From
the time of sentence until the day of
execution it is provided that the pris-
oner shall be kept in solitary con-
finement, no persons being allowed to
see him but officers of the Peniten
tiary, counsel a spiritual adviser and
the condemned mans family. Wit
nesses at the execution are confined
to the warden, qualified physicians, six
adult citizens, one spiritual adviser
and not more than six newspaper men.
Under the terms of the bill, which
would take effect Immediately after its
passage, $4,000 is appropriated for
the installation of the electric chair
and other necessary appliances.

HOUSEWORK Is A HEAVY BURDEN

The woman who "keeps house" has
enough to do when she is in good, sound
health, but if she is weak, tired all the
time, and suffering from morn to night
with an aching back, Homework becomes
. heavy burden.
Many women who were afflicted in this
way say that Doan's Kidney Pills have
made life easier for them.
Women are subject to kidney disease.
The clothing they wear, the work they do.
the worry and strain of bearing and rear
ing children. the lack of proper exercise;
all tend to it.
Backache, bearingdown pains, headache,
dizzy spells, faintness, fits of blues and
other troubles often thought to be peculiar
to the sex, are found frequently in kidney
disease. When any one of these ills APP
pears together with a discolored condi-
ton of the kidney secretions, with passages
too frequent, scanty or burning, just make
up your mind that your kidneys are weak,
and be quick to help them.
Doan's Kidney Pills have helped a great
many weak women through the trying
times when kidney disease means so much
added misery. They do not disturb the
stomach or bowels and contain no poison

Doan's are harmless for children too.
