Time out of mind the medical pro-
fession has spoken ill of ladies' wells.
The old objection was tuat they are
prejudicial in the eyesight. The wear
ing Of wells with black spots on them
Is said to have caused blindness But
nova new count is added to the ia
dictment. 1t is asserted that the
wearing of wells is perilous to health
on account of the fact that their
lightly wrought fabric is a net for
microbes. When the wearer inhales
through her veil the microbes are
drawn into the breathing passages,
and there is no help for it-except Of
course, to dispense with the use of
the veil. Another common source OF
danger is said to be the washing at
laundries of handkerchiefs and other
linen which has been used by persons
afflicted with tuberculosis. This is so
plainly risk that it would seem it
should be prohibited by law.

OF reporters. Consider, for instance,
tho surprise of the readers of GER

they learned that public man had
the night before soiemnly announced
that "All reforms In this country have
been brought about by Prussia" The
word the great man had really used

considerable astonishment was caused

her pennies and astontshed her hus-

is to be commended as much safer in

sensational fielding of Lacasce and

the wall back of the machine which

This is the statement made by Gov,
Hays Monday evening, in answer to d
Nuestion as to whether he would call
Jan extra session of the Legislature
sfor the purpose of providing means
for taking care of the expenses of the
state government. -
For several days. ever since State
AAudftor Coffman offered the sugges-
Hion that the Legislature should be
fcalled in extra session to borrow "a
quarter of million dollars from the
state capitol fund; Gov. Hays has been
srthe recipient OF numerous messages
i from all parts Of the state for, and
against the proposition, some urging
him. toscall the session, and Others be-
l ing as urgent that he should not do So
4 Attorney General Moose advised
State Auditor lCoffman Monday, IN
formally, that In his opinion Mr.. Coff-
! mans plan would be unconstitutional,
citing the following:
Act Is, Section 11.-No tax shall be
levied except in pursuance or law.
and every law imposing a tax shall
] state distinctly the object of the same;
and no moneys arising from tax
. levied for one purpose shall be used
. for any other"
This makes it clear 40 my mind"
! said Judge Moose, that the legisla-
ture would have no power whatever to
borrow any money from the state capt.
! tol tax to be used for any other pur-
! pose than that for which it was speci-
| fically levied. 1t follows that if the
legislature in the past has diverted
any specific levy for another purpose
! 1t has acted unlawfully."
Thus It appears that all prospects of
special session of the legislature
have passed, and that the administers
ton will endeavor to make arrange
! ments with the banking institutions of
the state to carry it's credit for what
ever may be needed until revenue is
again available next year.
