berculosis serum TO a raidshipman suffer
ing from that disease. provided that the
young mans father will assume all re-
sponsibiity and will obtain the neces-
sary serum.
The young man, whose name has not
been made public. is a tuberculosis pa
tient at the naval hospital at Las Ami
mas, Col His father appealed to Sena-
tor James Of Kentucky and asked him
to obtain the sanction Of the Navy De-
partment to the treatment Of his son by
the Friedman serum.
The boys father has been informed
that the Navy Department has no knowl-
edge of the Friedman treatment, aside
from what has been published in the
newspapers. and cannot, therefore, as
sumo any responsibility for its use. In
asmuch as the serum is not on the mar
ket, il declares itself unable to under
take to obtain the serum. If, however.
the midshipman's parent will get the
serum and accept the responsibility, the

Little Rock, March 28.-Unless there IS contrary ruling by the courts, saloons in the wet counties of Arkan- sas will be doing business the same as ever after January 1, 1914. Many of the most prominent attorneys of Ar kansas have rendered opinions for the leaders of the liquor forces, declaring the emergency clause which usually makes all bills passed which have it attached effective immediately after being signed, to be non-active on Sen ate Bill No. 11S, because in the body ot the bill it is specifically stated the plll IS not effective until December 31. 1915. The emergency clause was plac- cd on the bill to prevent the circula- ton of a petition to refer the bill to the people, and if it can be knocked oil Tn the courts, the liquor men, by getting a petition with about 10000
 names, can have the bill voted upon at
