What Is Mint
 Lax?

It is one of the most pleasant and effective lax atives; is purely vegetable, therefore contains no cal omel. Try it once and you will not be without it. Mint Lax is a square pink tablet, pleasant to take and is good for old and young. It is eaten like candy and leaves no bad taste in the mouth. Children are de- lighted with it. Give 1t to them three or four times a week at night and note the improvement in their general condition. Consti- patton is the principal cause of i'll health, as it locks up in the system that which should be regularly eliminated and thereby causes the system to be- come poisoned. Muddy  skin, pimples, sick head ache and dizziness are the results. Mint Lax is put mp in neat boxes contain ing 36 tablets and sells for 25c, postpaid to any address, and is sold only at

When we analyze this restraint, that We have hitherto accepted so com placently we will note that 1t is not Of that portentous magnitude formerly supposed. There is, of course, some re- straint. Occasionally one house will palk at some bill passed through the other house. This happens quite as often when good bills are in the bal ance, as when bad or unwise meas ures are concerned When we figure that there are more good bills than bad bills and this must necessarily be so-as far as important legislation Is concerned-this check or restraint be- comes quite undesirable
 The real check or restraint. in fact, lies in two active political parties or two factions in one party that may happen to control. The loss of time, the lack of efficiency the duplication of work, the unbusiness-l methods and unwieldy numbers have given rise to the demand for single house or unicameral legislature.
 House bill 1870 introduced Friday initiates this movement in Alabama. With a legislature of one chamber, to pe composed of S6 members, chosen in legislative districts or in the congress sional districts and from state at large, there should be economy in time, money and laws
 With the responsibility of statutes fixed on this one body there would follow a paucity of new laws. There would be a tendency to follow the lines of public sentiment. Composed neces- sarily of our most able and deliber ative mon, such d legislature would command more respect. There would be less ridcule and more regard.
 "Efficiency-the slogan in modern corporate enterprises-would become a slogan for the people, And passing strange 1t would bel When have we seriously undertaken public duties, tha' is. from a general standpoint?
 There are successful captains of in- dustry. Why not successful captains of legislation?
 This proposition merits and should receive the careful consideration of the able editors of Alabama's high class newspapers. These able and in- telligent men do more to mold public sentiment than all other classes com blned. They are necessarily students of government and teachers of progress. We hope that they will fairly and thoroughly discuss the new step to- ward unicameral legislature"

Spier Thinks One Legislative
 Body For the State Sufficient
By l.. s. BETTY

Montgomery, August 7.-(special. )-Dr. Ross Spier. representative from Wilcox county in statement given The Age Herald correspondent today, declares that there should be successful captains of legislation" just as much so as sue cessfu captains of industry and as- serts that the way to attain this end is by having one legislative body.
 pr. spler. it will be recalled. intro duced in the house yesterday resolution calling for a constitutional amendment providing for one legislative body, to be composed of 36 members.
 With the responsibility or statutes fixed on this one body" he says there would follow paucity of new laws. There would be a tendency to follow the lines df public sentiment.
 pr. Spiers statement follows:
 '"rhe various offices that compose the executive department have been investi- gated closely. A committee has submit ted bills to the legislature designed for the improvement of the methods in the conduct of this department A new sys- tenn for the keeping of records and ac- counts has been devised and unanimously passed. This system is to be uniform in county as well as state offices.
 Another committee composed of nine of the most able lawyers of the senate and house, has submitted a report of an investigation of our judiciary department. Bills have been prepared with view to modernizing and simplifying court pro- cedures. Courts have been consolidated, new circuits formed, and the elastic con- venient practice recommended of send ing judges outside their own circuits to elieve judges in other circuits who may have consested dockets. There is no doubt of the adoption Of practically all of these bills aimed at a reformation Of tho executive and judicial departments.
 Escapes Reformer
 "So far the other department, the legislative has escaped the touch of the reformer Yet it appears in serious need of some change.
 "It is supposed to be of the three departments the one close to the peo pie. Composed as 1t is of two bodies, the senate and the house, it follows the century-old precedent or idea that two houses are necessary in order that enc house may be a restraint on the other.
