No Compensation Bill.

Jefferson City, March 1.-Unless
some Of the labor organizations urge
the Legislature to pass the working
mems compensation act there will be
no legislation on that subject passed
this year.
The Missouri Federation of Labor
and the Central Trades and Labor un.
ion of st. Louis have opposed the
Measure on two grounds as 1t stands
now. They urge that the scale OF
compensation is too low, that the Sc
lection Of compensation or suit for
personal injury should be after the
injury, and that casual employment
accidents should be incorporated in
the bill.
r. T. Wood of Springfield, president
of the State Federation Of Labor, ia
in conference with members, with a
view to agreeing upon some amend
ments. The amendments have not
even been agreed to and Wood says
he does not know what the confer
ence will do.

HOUSE PASSES
EXCISE MEASURE
DRY OPPOSITION TO IMMEDIATE
CONSIDERATION UNExPEcT-
EDLY WITHDRAWN.
HALF REPUBLICANS OPPOSE
Balance, All Democrats and Lone
Moose, Vote for Both Bills
Gov. Major Signs the School
Age Bill.

Jefferson City, March 1.-By a vote
Of 109 to IA, the house yesterday af-
ternoon passed the police home rule
bill.
AS soon as the police bill had been
disposed of the house took up and
passed the excise home rule bill. The
same vote was cast on both bills.
In view of the fight against taking
the bills out of their turn, it was sup.
posed that the drys would oppose con
siderattion Of the bills in their turn.
Instead of that, Representative Hay,
the dry leader, after explaining his po'
sition, made no objection to the con
sideration of either measure.
Every Democrat in the house when
the bills were taken up voted for both
bills. Sommerville, the lone Bull
Moose in the house, voted with the
Democrats.
Half Republicans Oppose.
Just half of the Republicans in the
body voted against both the measures
They were Cooper of Andrew, barley
of Dallas, Haskins of Douglas, Hunt
of Dent, Kaufman of Morgan, Kyle
of Ozark, Langerberry of Gasccnade
Leazenby of Harrison, Praisewater
of Nodaway, Swope Of Holt, Teel Of
Clark, Witt of Franklin, Whitaker Of
Hickory and Woods Of Stone.
The votes on both bills were recon
sidered and the votes tabulated ant
the two bills sent over to the senate
for consideration in that body.
There is no doubt that the two
measures will be rushed through the
senate as rapidly as possible.
When Representative Orr called VI
the bills, Hay asked to make a state
ment. With his statement went thu
dry opposition to the bills. Not
member in the house had any objec
tion to this consideration.
Gov. Major called some of the dry
to his office in an effort to proven
them from opposing immediate consid
Grafton of the two bills which haC
been agreed to in caucus. What in
~fluence, or whether any of them re
sponded to the governors call, is no
known, but it is significant that tn
bottom dropped out of the fight 500
after the m spread that a few
of the drys had been called down t
the governors Office.

Jefferson City, March 1.-Gov. Ma

boards of education to permit chill

same bill also allows the boards to re-

CLEAR HEADED
Head Bookkeeper Must Be Reliable.

The chief bookkeeper in a large
business house in one of our great
Western cities speaks Of the harm
coffee did for him. (Tea is just as
injurious because it contains caffeine,
the same drug found in icoffee.)
my wife and / drank u first cup
of Postum a little over two years ago
and we have used it ever since, to the
entire exclusion Of tea and coffee. 1t
happened in this way:
about three and a half years ago
I had an attack of pneumonia, which
left a memento In the shape Of dys-
pepsia, or rather, to speak more cor
rectly, neuralgia of the stomach. MY
cup Of cheer had always been coffee
or tea, but / became convinced, after
a time, that they aggravated my stom-
ach trouble. I happened to mention
the matter to my grocer n day and
he suggested that I give Postum q
trial.
Next day 1t came, but the cook
made the mistake OF not boiling 1t suf-
iciently, and we did not like it much.
This was, however, oon remedied,
and o we like 1t 30 much that we
will never change back. Postum, be-
ing a food beverage instead OF a drug,
has been the means of banishing my
stomach trouble, ! verify believe, for
l am a well man today and have used
no medicine.
my work as chief bookkeeper in
our Co.'s branch house here is Of q
very combining nature. During my cot
fee-drinkng days l was subject To
nervousness and the blues. These
