SENATE PASSES g BILLS IN AFTER-
 NOON SESSION
Three Measures Were killed-Only Fight Was on Love StenOgrapher Bill. Senator Ashley AdvO-
 eating it's Passage.

Little Rock, March 11.-Drifting with the tide, the Senate rattled off legislation Wednesday afternoon, pass ing 23 bills, the principal of which was the Alexander general road i'm provement district bill, and the Blu chanan bill to repeal the law requir- ing passenger coaches to be screened. Three measures were killed, the Nicks bill to permit the issuance of temporary license to practice medi- cine, the House Judiciary bill to a-u thorize the Attorney General to bring suit for property belonging to the State, and the Love bill to provide a stenographer for the Sixteenth Judi cial circuit.
 The only contest of the afternoon session was on the Love stenographer bill Senator Ashley advpcating its passage, and Senator Ferguson op- posing. He asserted that this dis trict, portion of which he repre- SCllOo, IOO pun NO lOIu tt idAul ' , and IS Senators voted with him to defeat the bill.
 Senator Calvert, who bore the brunt of the battle in the effort to prevent the defeat of the Woods improvement district bill, and all but put it over, made the fight for the House Judiciary bill, which was a substitute for a bill introduced by MT. Johnson of Se- bastian count. The bill was up on third reading when motion was made to put it back to second reading for amendment. Senator Calvert explain cd the bill and pleaded to have it read a third time. The Senate voted to put it back and an amendment was read once. Senator Calvert renewed his motion to advance the bill to a third reading, and substitute motion Y'as made to postpone further consid- e~ation. which was carried.
 The death of the Nicks bill was amusing, if there can be anything lu- dicrous in the death of anything. When it was read Senator Ferguson stated that 1t was introduced by a member of the House from his district and he had called it up under the inn pression that it was a local bill. The 0ill was read again for the informa- ton of the Senate, and when the members learned that it permitted the issuance of licenses for three months pending the result of examinations taken by those desiring to practice medicine, a general howl went up. Senator Ferguson decided to cham pion the measure and stated that little harm could be done in ninety days, when he was asked if it would not be possible for a novice to kill quite d few people in that length of time he sat down and motion to postpone further consideration of the bill car ried.

How to Be More Certain of Life
 After Death.

In the April Woman's Home Com- panion Charles E. Jefferson, pastor of the Broadway Tabernacle in New York City, writes an interesting Eas- ter sermon in which he takes up the subject of immortality. He says that the secret of Paul's assurance of life after death sprang out of the quality of life which he lived. Of the cer- tinty or uncertainty of life after death Dr. Jefferson writes in part as fol- lows:
 "If we are not certain, it may be because We are living at too low a level. If We live for pleasure or for money or for fame, then the spiritual realities must of necessity become nebulous and vague. To feel that we are immortal we must live like inn

FOOT TROOPS OF U. s. A.
 TO GET SHELTER TENTS.

Washington, March 18.-By a de- cIsion just rendered by Secretary Gar rison, all foot troops of the army, numbering 75,00O hereafter will be supplied with the shelter tents now issued to mounted troops
 The shelter tent for disnounted has been condemned on the grounds that it is too small and does not af- ford proper protection from rain.
 The d4smounted tent, with five pins. as carried by each soldier, weighs two pounds 12 ounces while the mounted shelter tent, with poles and five pins weighs four pounds seven ounces These tents variously known as ssdog tentss' and 'fbunga- Iows' each shelter two soldiers with the mats divided between them on the march.
 The tent for dismounted troops is much smaller than the cavalry tents and is supported by the rifles of the occupants, thus doing away with the necessity for poles.

Before tho Toothbrush.

Before the invention of toothbrushes
people used to clean their teeth with
linen. This is evident from William
Vaughan's "Fifteen Directions to Pre-
serve HEALTH" published 1902, In which
the author tells those who want TO
keep the teeth white and uncorrupt'
that they must wash the mouth after
every meal. "sleepe with the mouth
somewhat open and in the morn
ing take linnen-cloth and rub the
teeth well within and without" In
Vaughan's time several varieties of
tooth powder were known. the recipe
for one of the simplest being as fol-
lows: "Burne n piece of Corke till it
looks like Coale, then take it out of
the Eyre and it will fall to ashes.
wherewith rub your teeth. "-London

PEACE IN BASEBALL
Warning Factions Reported to Have
Reached Agreement.

Philadelphia. Sept. "A peace
agreement has been reached by organ
lied baseball and the Federal league,
and the OUTLAW" organization will
open the 1916 season as the third ma
ior league under the protection OF the
National Commission, according TO.
information obtained here today from
authentic sources In reaching the
agreement, all the details of which
will be completed at the end OF the
present season, the Federals were
compelled to withdraw their teams
from Chicago and st. Louis and give
up their plan to invade New York
These arrangements were made at
a recent meeting of representatives
of the warning factions at the Hotel
Biltmore in New York City, and the
agreement was signed by representa-
tives authorized by the officials of
each league The National and Amer
lean league circuits VIII remain Just
as they are, but each major league
city in organized baseball which is
represented by but one team will
have a Federal league franchise, and
two teams will be placed in another
city. Just how the Baltimore and
Newark Federal league franchises
will be taken care of has not been de-
cided, but all other arrangements
have been perfected.
The most difficult problem chat con
fronted the peace delegates was in
ducing the Federal league to with
draw from Chicago Owner Weigh

able OF taking care OF three teams.
but he was finally persuaded to allow
the franchise to be transferred to De

holdings and be allowed to buy stock
in the Cubs is not known, but it is
certain he viii not be owner of the
Detroit Federal league franchise.

Louis for block of stock in the Car

franchise will be transferred 10 Wash

In accomplishing this the organ

victory, as it was freely predicted
that there never could be peace with
three clubs in St Louis and Chicago,

that they would not give up these
cities.
