JEFFERSON CITY, Mo-, March ?.
The prediction of the anti-admin-
istration forces, made freely before
the legislature convened, that the ad-
ministration would fail in its con-
structive program OF legislation, was
brought one step nearer fulfillment
today when the house voted IS to SO
to adjourn at noon, March 16. To
date no new laws have been made by
the legislators.
1t was freely mentioned at the
capitol today that the Reed faction,
backed the adjournment movement
It is understood the senate will con-
cur in the adjournment resolution.
The senate, following denounce-
ment of his dry colleagues by Sena-
tor Carter, laid over until Wednesday
the request that the dry shipment bill
be made special order for Thurs
day. Carter reminded the senate that
although the senate was organized
by the drys, not one temperance
measure has yet been brought to q
vote.
Indications that the senate will not
pass measures recommended by the
latest insurance commission was seen
today in the adoption of resolution
to set aside $4,000 for third such
body to investigate the insurance
situation in the state.
While this was being done, the
house passed the insurance rating
bill, II to 8.

A Fine Treatment
For Catarrh

Easy to Make and Costs Iictio.
II you suffer from catarrh, head
noises, sore throat. asthma, or Ca
tarrah deafness. here Is fine recipe
that often gives relief after otner
treatments have failed.
It's effect in the worst cases Is us
tually most striking and positive. the
correct method Of treating catarrh
we believe is to employ a remedy that
will quickly drive the catarrhal pois-
ons from the system and at the same
time by tonic action increase the VI
tally, which is always lowered by
this insidious disease. To do this, We
believe the following formula to be
quickly, costs little and can be easily
prepared at home.
From your druggist obtain one
ounce of Parmint Double Strength),
about TIC worth, take this home and
add to 1t one-quarter Of pint Of hot
water and four ounces OF graduated
sugar, stir until dissolved. Take one
tablespoonful four times day.
The first dose should begin to re-
1ieve the most miserable headache,
dullness, sneezing sore threat, run
ming Of the nose, catarrhal dis
charges, head noises and other foath-
some symptoms that always accom-
pany this disgusting disease.
Loss Of smell, defective hearing
and mucous dropping in the back OF
the throat are other symptoms that
show the presence of catarrh and
which may be overcome by the use Of
this simple treatment.
Every person who has Catarrh in
any form should give this prescrip-
ton trial.

incapacity for holding his tongue on

intellectual weakness. He had also a
marked incapacity for keeping his irrel-

Of moral vulgarity. He had a manifest

THE TIME TO BE EXAMINED.

The Press of this country will urge
the people to observe an innovation
called Examination Day. The date

taken, the time set for every person
to call on physician for the purpose
of finding out by means of an examin-
alton whether health or disease is pres
ent will be in the month of December.
We agree with the promoters of the
idea that we should all find out by
means of an examination by a duly
qualified physician just how the case
of state of health stands We do not
agree as to the question of when the
examination should be made, in other
words, we differ on the question of
time. We believe that time is the most
important factor in the matter, if any
factor can be said to be the most i'm
