cept for the fact that more than three amendments were submitted and the Supreme Court held that the inhibition was not removed by the initiative and referendum amendment.
 The amendment has been most care fully rewritten, and even greater safe guards than had been placed about the earlier amendment One of the most notable of these improvements is a provision that for each separate issue of bonds, as proposed by any municipality, there shall be chosen three citizens, not otherwise connected with the municipal government, as taxpayers commissioners. These com missioners shall be chosen by the city council or other governing body at the time of the passage of the ordinance calling an election for the purpose of voting on the particular issue of bonds, and the advertisement shall state their names for the infor- nation of the public. These commis- sioners shall act in conjunction with the mayor, board or other committee, and with them shall exercise joint control over the sale of any bonds au- thorized by the people, and shall see that the funds are economically and properly expended for the specific pur- pose specified in the issue of bonds.
 The purpose for which bonds may be issued are specified as follows: For the acquisition of rights s-of-way for and construction of public high ways, streets, alleys or boulevards within the corporate limits; for the purchase, development and improve ment of parks, located either within or without the corporate limits; for the construction of sewers; for the construction of town halls, auditor iums, prisons, libraries, hospitals, via ducts, bridges or buildings for hous- ing fire fighting apparatus; and for the purpose of acquiring, purchasing, extending, improving, enlarging, build ing or constructing waterworks, or light or heat plants.
 No bonds to be issued under the terms of this amendment shall bear a greater rate of interest than six per cent, and bonds issued by cities of the first class shall not be sold on a basis of more than five per cent, and for cities of the second class not to ex- ceed six per cent.

Hopes Women Will
 Adopt This Habit
 As We'll As Men
Glass Of not water each morn ing helps us lock and fee!
 clean, sweet, fresh.

Happy, bright, alert-xigorous and vivacious-a good clear skin; a nat ural, rosy complexion and freedom from illness are assured only by clean, healthy blood. If only every woman and likewise every man could realize the wonders of the morning inside bath, what gratifying change would take place.
 Instead of the thousands of sickly, anaemic-looking men, women and girls with pasty or muddy complex ions; instead of the multitudes of nerve wrecks," 'rundowns," ''brain flags" and pessimists we should see virile, optimistic throng of rosy checked people everywhere
 An inside bath is had by drinking, each morning before breakfast, glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it to wash from the stomach, liver, kid neys and ten yards of bowels the pre- vious days indigestible waste, sour Determinations and poisons, thus cleansing, sweetening and freshening the entire alimentary canal before putting more food into the stomach.
 Those subject to sick headache, bil- iousness, nasty breath, rheumatism, colds; and particularly those who have pallid, sallow complexion and who are constipated very often, are urged to obtain quarter pound of limestone phosphate at the drug store which will cost but trife but is sufficient to demonstrate the quick and remarkable change in both health and appearance awaiting those who prac- tice internal sanitation. We must re- member that inside cleanliness is more important than outside, because the skin does not absorb impurities to contaminate the blood, while the pores in the thirty feet of bowels do.

James L. Wilmeth, chief clerk of the Unted States Treasury Depart ment, is in the city and will spend a brief vacation with his sbrother-in- law, M. L. Moore. Mr Wilmeth is a former resident of this city and as the site for the new postoffice building here has been ordered cleared of build ings, etc, he will probably inspect same before leaving. He will also in- spect sites for other federal buildings in Texas and New Mexico after leav- ing here.
 It was Mr. Wilmeth who brought the guard system of the Treasury De- partment to unexcelled perfection.

 E.l AMENDMENTS
Good Prospect of Putting All Through-Will Eliminate Sub- mission of Good Roads Amend ment-NO. 13 Rewritten.
By Clio Harner

Little Rock Jan. 13-If the plans of the people prevail, the Legislature will have no chance at the ancient and honorable constitution unless it should decide to have a new one written.
 There are three proposed amend ments now being initiated, with the prospect of putting all of them through. If this is done, the Legisla- ture will have no opportunity to sub init another, the maximum having been submitted. This will eliminate the submission of the good roads amnedment again, which the advo- cates of Amendment No. IA had hoped for
 The Bar Association is back of a movement for the initiation of an act to increase the number of Supreme Court justices from five to seven, in order to relieve the strain of increas- ing business, which five men are find ing it impossible to keep up.
 The Initiative and Referendum League has rewritten Amendment No. 13, which was so overwhelmingly de- feated in the recent election, and has eliminated the features that aroused the most objection among the voters. An effort has been made to eliminate the "jokers." One of the chief of these is the feature of the old amend ment which was construed by many to mean that government unit less than the state might initiate laws conflict ing with the general laws of the state There are other features introduced in the new bill which removes from it charges of radical socialistic tenden- cies. It is prepared along lines of progressive direct legislation prac- ticles, and when it is properly present. ed, the members of the League are confident that it will share a far diff ferent fate from Amendment No. 13.
 The equal suffragists have decided to make no ecort to initiate an amend nent at this time, being hopeful that they will secure relief through the Legislature, either by constitutional amendment or the calling of a con- stitutional convention The first plan being practically nullited by the ini- tiation of three amendments, the al formative is left of a new organic law, which now seems to be very prob able.
 The third amendment that is being submitted is that for the authoriza- tion of municipal bonds, in which the mayors and officials of more than a hundred cities and towns of the state are vitally interested The amend ment has been before the people at least three times and every time it has met with favor, but has lost through the excessive restrictions that have been thrown about the adoption of amendments. The last time it would have been declared a law, ex-

W0MEN'S PART IN WAR

Shall we say that women contribute
only the bandages, the socks and the
"kits?" Nd, they contribute the fight
ers! What sort of soldiers will the
women of the present day contribute
to the nation md the world? Can
they hope to be capable mothers or
efficient wives If they are enfeebled
and broken down by the diseases and
weaknesses G the sex?
An affection confined to women
must have its cause in the womanly
nature. There is no doubt that a dis.
eased condition of the delicate woman
ly organs, is in general responsible for
feminine nervousness and an under
mined constitution. The use Of DR..
Pierce's Favorite Prescription makes
women happy by making them healthy.
There are no more crying spells. "Fav-
orite Prescription" is for inflammation
and female weakness. 1t makes weak
women strong.
DR.. Pierce's Favorite Prescription is
and has been for nearly So years Just
the medicine. 1t is not a secret pres.
cription. for it's ingredients are print
