In celebra- tion of ''Groundhog Day" he introduc- ed a bill For the Suppression of the Coal Trust, the Promotion of the Gar dening Industry and the Relief of All Thin-Blooded Persons" which prohib- ited the sun from shining on February 2, Groundhog Day, and made that day state legal holiday.

100 Years Old $

"The kidneys play most important part in causing premature old age and death-the more injurious the poisons passing thru the kidneys the sooner comes decay"-so says distinguished physician, who further advises all people who are past thirty to preserve the vitality of the kidneys and free the blood from poisonous clements, such as uric acid drink plenty of water-sweat some daily and take Anuric before meals.
 This Anuric is put up in tablet form, and can be obtained at almost any drug store. For that backache, lumbago, rheumatism, "rusty" joints, swollen feet or hands, due to uric acid in the blood, Anuric quickly dissolves the uric acid as hot water does sugar. Discovered by Dr. Pierce of Buffalo, N. Y.
 Prevent premature old age by simply slipping cup of hot water every morning before breakfast, taking a little Anuric before meals and live to be hundred.

HOUSE PASSES BILL THAT LEG iSIATED HAYS OUT OF LU-
 CRATIVE APPOINTMENT.
NEW MEASURE LAUNCHED
Some Opposition To the UtleyAdam- son Measure Was Stirred Because Bill Would Tax Dower and
 Curtesy lnheritances.
Little Rock

Little ROck.-- Former Governor Hays was legisla- ted out of a lucrative appointment when the House passed the Utley and Adamson Senate bill providing for ap- peintment, by the governor, of an in heritance tax attorney, to be paid $3- 900 year. Former Governor Hays, under the old law, recently received an appointment from John D. Ar buckle, attorney general. The meas ure passed nullifies the attorney gen. erals appointment
 Action of the House on the aboli- tion of the attorney generals appoint ment was further clinched immediate ly after passage of the Utley-Adam- son bill, when it passed bill intro duced by Representative Waggoner providing that county judges, without extra compensation, collect inheri- tance tax in their respective counties. Should the latter bill pass the Senate Governor Brough will be called upon to decide which he favors, and will veto the other.
 Some opposition to the Utley-Adam- son measure was stirred because the bill would tax dover and curtesy in. heritances. Dover inheritances amounting to s5,000 or less, however are excepted. The Waggoner bill ex. empts all dover and curtesy inheri- tances. The votes were cast against each of the two measures.

Ficht Over Local Bills.


 The first local bill to cause much of a tilt was H. B. No. IT (Doyle), to create the Ravenden Special School District, in Lawrence and Randolph counties. Mir Ellis of Randolph ob. jected, and sought to have the bill referred to the Education Committee for amendment to strike out the DOT tion of the territory lying in his coun- ty. He said that his peiple do not want it, and that the passage of the bill would cripple a small school dis trict In his county by depriving it oI revenues derived from railroad prop erty. Each speaker presented affida- wits and petitions to support his con- tentions, and the house finally decided to refer the bill to the Education Con- mittee.

BASIS OF MODERN STATUTES
Common Law Grew Up Gradually
From Old Maxims and Customs
Antedatinq Art Of Printing.

Common law Is the basis upon which
our modern statutes are built. Com
mon lay generally is based upon the
English common law which was used
by the early settlers. This English
common law grew up gradually from
old maxims and customs which were
practiced previous to the time of print
ing, or, to use the quaint legal phrase,
"time whereof the memory OF man
runneth not to the contrary"
Many of these customs originated In
the old feudal days, and concern the
relationships between lords and vas
sails. The more powerful lord was
the better able he was to see that
those customs were enforced which
best suited his purposes, and In this
way the law became established. As
the social order changed, the common
law changed with 1t. With the ad
vance in civilization these changes
were preserved in written form, and
the unwritten or common law, com
bined with the changes and additions
made In 1t by the various acts OF par
lament, became the law Of the land.

ISLAND CAPITAL is PRETTY
Under French Regime Antananarivo Is
Becoming One Of Most Beautiful
Of African Cities.

Antananarivo, which Is the capital
of the Island of Madagascar, on the
coast of Africa, has splendid situa-
ton and under the French regime bids
fair to become one of the most beauti-
full of African cities. 1t Is located
in one of the upland plains, which are
the granaries Of Madagascar, at an ele-
walton of more than 5000 feet above
sea level. The city occupies high,
narrow, rocky ridge, rising sharply
about 600 feet above the pale green
spread Of the rice fields. Its splendid
stone churches, government buildings,
schools and colleges are finely set of
by this situation. Excellent streets
connect all parts of the town that are
accessible to vehicles, and stone stair
ways scale the sleeper hills. There Is
a beautiful public square, terraced and
filed with trees and flowers.
Long before the French came to
Madagascar Antananarivo was the
principal village Of the Hova chiefs
The Hovas were the strongest tribe
| of the native Malagasy race and they
slowly conquered the greater part OF
Madagascar, forming it into a native
kingdom, which was rapidly advancing
toward a sort of civilization. Antan
anarivo became a city of $4,000 people
built Of rushes and wood, with great
wooden palace upon its highest hill.
A unique civilization might hav'
been developed by the Hovas had no
France invaded Madagascar. She con
quered the natives in the war of 1S8,
and finally took over the entire islant
as a colony. 1t was regarded asN'
high-handed proceeding and for tim
1t worked great hardship on the ma
tives, but in the long run their lot ha
been greatly improved.
