How About a Pet
Sheep or Lamb? ?

The proposition for the use of
vacant lots and back yards for
the raising of vegetables and
other foodstuffs in order to meet
the present crisis in this coun-
try is a most commendable one.
Why not carry it still further
and persuade each family to keep
a pet sheep or lamb in place of
a dog? 1t would be more profit
able by far.-Textile World Jour
nal.

CONVENTION BILL PASSES IN SENATE BY VOTE OF q TO IS Question of Two Thirds Majority for It's Passage to be Settled this
 Afternoon
Special to the Log Cabin Democrat.

Special to the Log Cabin Democrat. Little Rock, Jan 30.-The entire morning session of the Senate today was taken up in discussing the pro- posed constitutional convention. Sen ators Smith, Carter and Ruff argued in favor of the bill, while Senator Bush, Caldwell and Greenhouse spoke against the proposition.
 When the roll was called it was found that 21 senators favored the bill and Is were opposed to it.
 Senator Caldwell then raised the question that it requires a two-thirds vote for passage, as the bill carries an appropriation for the maintenance of the convention, which is not nee essarily a governmental expense.
 President Davenport reserved a de- cision until this afternoon, asking each side to produce at that time citation authorities.

BABE WOULD EXPLAIN
 HIS BONE DRY" VOTE

Little Rock, Jan. 30.-The morn ing hour in the house was enlivened by a discussion of motion by Repre- sentative Rabb of Union county to suspend the rules and permit the en- try in the journal of the explanation he had made on his vote on the pas sage of the "bone dry" bill. The paragraph which caused the debate was as follows:
 T very much dislike to vote for measure, that will deprive old ex- Confederate soldiers and many other good temperate citizens of the state from getting whiskey, while at the same time permitting a rum-soaked priesthood getting all the wine they need"
 Mr Norfeet of St. Francis op- posed the motion, and declaring him self Protestant, defended the Roman Catholic priesthood, paying them a tribute for devotion and self-sacri- flee whenever duty calls. He de- clared that such insinuations as that contained in the explanation made by Representative Rabb are not in keep ing with the teachings of the man of Nazareth, and he pleaded with the members not to permit such an in suit to go on the records of the house.
 Only six members stood up in sup port of MT. Rabb's motion.

The committee recommends that the sum of $120,OOO instead. of $75,0OO, the sum appropriated two years ago, be voted for the maintenance of the institution, as there are now 30 per cent more patients there.

the results of the investigation, which was carried on after the fashion of the senate's investigation of the leak in President Wilson's note to the belligerants-were made known to the blushing bride of 65 summers, she could not keep the secret any longer. Then and there it was made known that on Wednesday, January IT, Mrs. N. E. Loveless, widow of the late J. Hugh Loveless, was welded to C. w. Abrams, the ceremony having been pronounced by Rev. E. Loveless, a local minister. Both the bride and the groom are 65 years old.
 MT. Abrams appeared at the of flee of County Clerk John Reeves on January 6, called the clerk aside and whispered something in his ear. A reporter for the Log Cabin Democrat, who was present at the time, scent ed secret wedding, and after Mr. Abrams left the office, proceeded to search the marriage license record book from cover to cover, but was unable to find any trace of the name of the groom. The clerk had prom ised Mir. Abrams that the license would not be published. Knowing the proclivities of reporter for mak- ing scoop" Clerk Reeves merely made a note of the issuance of the license, and dld no; record it, fear ing the newspaper man might stum- ble across it in the course of events.
 How the neighbors of the bride and groom began to suspect such a thing as secret wedding, nobody seems to know.
 MT. Abrams yesterday had the li- cense recorded.

The committee also thinks that a saving can be made by reducing the insur- ance on the buildings to $75,000, for they are scattered and a fire loss of more than that is not likely.

FOUR-FOL[) BENEFIT
From Two Grand Medicines in sprina.

a~AAA - - ~AsAea MSSiSsAAS% ssa @Ht sAsSsa
You know that physicians often
give two prescriptions, perhaps more,
or medicines to be taken together, or
alternately or at different times.
One reason may be that the medi-
zines are incompatible" -do not
agree when closely mixed in taking
or that desired results cannot be
secured by one medicine alone.
The most successful combination
spring medicine treatment that we
know of-because perfectly "com-
patible'' and productive of the best
results-is in Hoods Sarsaparilla
and Peptiron Pills. The former
thoroughly searches out and expels
impurities from the blood, while
Peptiron Pills give the much-needed
werfui~tonic-they literally "put
iron into your blood"
/ Hoods Sarsaparilla should be
taken before meals and Peptiron
Pills after meals-patients taking
them SO report the benefit is four
fold-prompt, positive, permanent.
Both these medicines are economical
and pleasant to take.
