THE FREAK LEGISLATOR

Every year sees the introduce
ton Of freak bills into the leg
lslatures of one of more states.
but the spring of 1915 seems to
have capped the climax. The
freak legislators have run mad.
Hardly a state has escaped. It
is the fashion of the press to
poke fun at Kansas, which may
be depended upon to come to the
front with something foolish in
the way of legislation. And al
though the Sunfower state has
lived up to her glowing reputa-
ton in the present session, her
companions in the sorority of
states have not fallen far be-
hind. Most of the new laws
have been introduced for the
purpose Of prohibiting some
thing or other. Here are a few.
culled from one days changes:
To prohibit the catching of
frogs. Minnesota.
To prohibit the use of face
powder, rouge, hair dye or
bleach, the piercing of ears and
the wearing of earrings. Kan
SaS.
TO compel chickens to go to
roost before T.. p. m. To pro-
vide that bulls driven along the
road at night shall wear lights.
Colorado.
Providing that all weeds ands
plants which cause hay fever
shall be removed from the road
sides. Bachelors to pay an an
nual tax of SIS per head. Pro-
hibiting the wearing of whiskers
by doctors and dentists. Mass.
Compelling the National Guard
to do ninety days work each
year on the roads and bridges of
the state Requiring dealers in
stock foods to pay an annual Ii
cense of $25 year. Prohibit
ing free lunches. Neb.
Compelling churchgoers to
leave their firearms outside. |
Texas. ..
Prohibiting treating. Prohi- |
biting the giving of tips to bar
bers, walters, porters, hat
snatchers, eac. Taxing bachelors
of 30 years of age, $50 per an
mum, licensing cats 81 per head |
per annum. Ill.

ness of sleigh runners. N. Oak.

MORE CHARGES MADE
 AGAINST SULLIVAN
Wick Says American Minister to Do- minican Republic Negotiated Loan
 Without Authority.

Washington. Feb. .9.-Further testi mony concerning the conduct and fit- ness for office of James M. Sullivan, minister of the Dominican republic, was given here yesterday before Spe cial Commissioner James D. Phelan. Walker w. Wick, former collector general of Dominican customs, re- stunned the stand and made further charges against the minister.
 MT. Wick submitted evidence de- signed to show that Minister Sulli- van had endeavored, without the knowledge of the government at Washington, and without the appro- val of the Dominican congress, to pave the way for the negotiation of loan of $500,00O to be made to the Dominican government through banks in the republic, He asserted that w. w. Smith, secretary of the legation, first told him of the pro posed loan and that later a Domini- can banker showed him a letter from Minister Sullivan, which was sent to the three banks in San Domingo City seeking to open negotiations for the loan.
 MT. Wick discussed at length var ious charges made against him in the course of the hearings, and denied that a mining scheme with which he was once connected had swindled the public out of $6000000"

LIVED TWENTY-FIVE DAYS WITHOUT FOOD EarltQ1]ke Victim fxirlCatcd From
 Runs at Permo.

Rome, Feb. 8, 11:45 a. m.-Few men have lived to tell a stranger tale than that of Michael Cairolo, who was extricated from the earthquake ruins at Permo yesterday afternoon, having been imprisoned for twenty-five days without food
 Cairolo is recovering from the ef- fleets of his experiences, which he was able to describe today.
 Refuge in Cellar.
 "When the earthquake occurred" he said, '$ attempted to escape, but found myself locked within a stable by the ruins. Beneath the stable a cellar was being excavated in the rocks. l found my way into this ex- cavation and so avoided being crushed to death.
 Prom the moment I entered the cellar l saw no more light and I be- Eeved I had become blind, as my mind could not conceive that the ruins covered the cellar so completely as to prevent single ray of light from penetrating through. For long time-I cannot say how long-ny despair increased until I became almost frenzied I shouted with all my strength until I fell into a pathetic condition almost like a coma. This saved my life, for had I continued my desperate efforts to free myself, must have died of exhaustion. Revived by Water.
 By feeling about with my hands in the darkness, I found wet spot and mostened my burning lips. This revived me and with my hands l dug a hole in which the water collected and I was able to drink.
 Thus I managed to exist until yes- terday I heard voices above me. l aroused myself to a supreme effort

Children Have Kidney Trouble

Three years ago my little grill An s.ela. was taken sick with sea rlet fever and later dropsy set in; her face and ,!mbs .swelled and her eyes pl,tfc1. A les ding physician here at the time, treated her without the slightest suC- cess. A sample of your Swamp Foot having been left at the house at the time l resolved to try it, and as it agreed with her stomach I continued using it with gratifying results. The inflammation began to subside after she had taken the first fifty-cent bot tie, and after she took two large bot ties she was pronounced cured by the doctor and has been in good health ever since. The doctor came to see her every day and examined her every second day until he pronounced her kidneys in perfect condition.
 Now then the doctor was under the impression that I was giving my girl his medicine, but as his medicine had failed to do a bit of good, and desir- ing not to offend him, I did not tell him I was giving her Swamp-Root and he did not know the difference. I did not use one drop of his medicine af- ter l started my girl on Swamp Root, and have always felt that Dr. I<ilmer's '"cll'p-INool' SeVeu lily SlTl Ille TOT W hich I am grateful.
