Mcbride Says House Clerks Made
Drv Bi1l

When House Bill 80, pertaining to
the shipment of liquor into the state
was passed a year ago, by the N. D.
legislature, the Senate made proviso
that certain quantity of liquor could
be shipped into the state, but when it
was sent to the House, it is presum-
ed that some clerk tackled on the bone
dry proviso, which made North Dako-
ia bone dry state. Attorney General
LANCER ruled that the bone dry law
was effective. At the special session
Of the legislature, convened a few
days ago, Senator Mcbride introduced
the following resolution:
Whereas it is within the knowledge
of members of the senate and each in
dividual senator, and it is so recorded
correctly at pages 1O81-19 of the SEN
ate journal for the Fifteenth legisla-
tive assembly that house bill 80 as
amended by the senate was not voted
upon or adopted by the house of rep
resentatives, the amendment as adopt
ed by the senate having been reported
incorrectly, or changed in the house
after same had been reported to said
house, and
"Whereas through such gross care
lessness or fraud such bill was passed
by the house different in form and
meaning than same was passed in the
senate,
CHOW, therefore, be it resolved, that
this senate do now severely condemn
the practice by which this fraud was
perpetrated upon the senate and the
people of the state of North Dakota,
in order that this practice may cease
in the future and in order that the
people may know that the laws of the
state are made by the regularly con-
stituted legislative assembly and not
by clerks or employees of such assem-
bly,, and that the resolution be spread
upon the senate journal"

ABLE MEN AT WAR WORK

Washington, Jan. 31.-Citing the
need for ships to win the war and
reports that steel riveters employed
in shipbulding yards are refusing to
do as much work as formerly at high

He contended that all Americans be-
tween Is and 62 should do some kind
of war work, along lines proposed in
bill he recently introduced.

Goats, MIX u Favored.

Everyone who Is at all acquainted
with the milk goat knows Of the value
Of the milk for infants and lnvalids'
use-one Of the first points about the
milk goat that presents itself. asserts
a writer. The goat Is practically free
from tuberculosis. According to the
annual reports Of the bureau Of animal
industry GU. So. covering federal In
spection OF animals slaughtered for
food, there were inspected during the
eight years, 1907 to 1914. inclusive.
5T9.617 goats. of which not a single
animal was condemned for tubercu-
losis. This fact alone should be the
strongest argument In favor Of the
milk Of the goat. The cream globules
Of the milk OF the goat are smaller
than those Of cows milk, and because
Of this milk being condensed the cream
giobules are contained In a more per-
feet state Of emulsion than the cows
milk. An argument In favor Of ster-
ilized milk Is that authorities agree 1t
70 actually more easily digested than
Il the fresh milk, this referring to
goats and cows milk alike.
