NEWS NOTES OF LEGISLATURE

W. L. Wood’s bill regulating the repairs and maintenance of open drains passed the house Friday by a vote of 73 to 4. The administration measure to abolish the office of state statistician passed both branches and will become a law. The abolishment of this office will throw Ed Huff of the Monon News, who was appointed deputy by State Statistician Henry A. Roberts, out of a job. Governor Goodrich promised, when urging the abolishment of this office, co, appoint Mr. Roberts to some office paying at least an equal salary. The absent voters’ bill, giving qualified citizens the right to vote by mail when necessarily absent from the state on election days, passed the senate with bilt two dissenting vetoes and now goes to the house for hetion. Under the terms the voter absent, or expecting to be absent, would have to make application to the county clerk for a "mailed ballot’’ at least two days and not more than thirty days before an election or primary. The ballots would be returned by registered mail to the county clerk and transmitted by him unopened to the election officials of his precinct, where the package would be opened on election day and the voter’s preferences tabulated.

A new salary bill which proposed to and revise the salary of every county officer of the state was withdrawn from the senate Friday afternoon on request of th© state board of accounts whiqh had drawn the measure. Officials of several counties had come here to attend a hearing on the bill which had been scheduled for last night, but the withdrawal of the bill made the hearing unnecessary. A letter from Gilbert H. Hendron, chief state examiner, stated that the bill was withdrawn because it would not have become effective until after the constitutional convention, which undoubtedly will deal with the salary question by establish - ing a basis for each class of offices. The data collected on the salary question will be presented to the constitutional convention when it meets next year. Another example of economy by the present legislature was (exhibited Monday when the house passed the ‘‘old capitol bill,” to pay $50,00Q for the old hulk at Corydon, known as Indiana’s first capitol. The bill went through by a vote of 55 to 37, although it was amended to reduce the amount to be paid from $60,000 to $50,000, to which those seeking to unload the old shell on the state agreed. Two years ago $85,000. was the amount the county wanted for this worthless old pile of stone, but this -year they were content with $60,000, which amount the senate voted. Now they accept $50,000 rather than let the opportunity pass by, and will use the money “to assist in .building a modern and up-to-date court house at the expense -of the taxpayers of Indiana, or at least to the extent of $50,000 of their assistance. Goodrich should veto the measure.

Senate joint resolution No. 4. making all county officers four-year terms, passed the senate Friday by a vote of 34 to 1. Senate joint resolution 7, making the office of prosecutor a four-year term, was passed by the same 'vote. Senate bills 366 and 367, to extend the terms of county assessors two years and authorizing county assessors to receive 25 per cent of the sequestered tax they cause to be collected, respectively, were each defeated in the senate Friday. ■* House bi 1129, to establish a criminal court id Lake county, sessions to be held at Crown Poipt and Hammond, was defeated in the senate by a vote of 12 ayes to 23 noes. House bill 58, (the Blackmore bill to abolish state oil .inspection department) was defeated in the senate Friday by a vote of 26 to 24. Senator Nedjl, Republican, of Lake county, voted with the Democrats, thus defeating the bill, which was an administration measure. His Republican colleagues are very sore over Senator Nejdl’s action. A bill has passed the lower house of the legislature by a voteJ of 72 to 3, requiring dimmers on automobile headlights, prescribing ■

j regulations for spotlights and fixing penalties. A bill has also been passed by the house by a vote of 67 to 6, permitting’ road supervisors to work seventy-five days instead of fifty days in a year. •Senate bill 39, prohibiting county attorneys from practicing before county commissioners, except on county business, has been signed by the governor. , After defeat a few days ago, the supreme and • appellate court judges were granted an increase in salaries from $6,000 to $7,500 year. This makes a total of $16,500 a.year added to the state payroll, and it passed the senate hv a vote of 29 to 18, most of those voting X.odt it being lawyers. The senate Saturday adopted a 'measure to empower the public service commission to raise railroad passenger rates in Indiana Jrom 2 to 2i/ 3 cents a mile. A i bill was also passed by a vote of 30 to 4 to make the minimum salary of county recorders not less than SI,OOO per year. This affects Ohio, Union, Newton,. Scott and Brown. Senate bill 91, providing that in cities of the fifth class —Rensselaer is in this class: —the offices of clerk and treasurer may be held by the same person if the common council should so order, has passed both branches awaits the governor’s signature.

LOOKING TO THE WEST IN 1920

‘‘The Empire state will not furnish another Republican nominee for President of the United States in 'my ed Col. Michael J. Dady,' leading Republican of Brooklyn. ‘‘The next nominee of the for President will come outxff the West, and he will win. He will carry New York, Pennsylvania and every other normally Republican state. “We used to have an idea that this country could not get along without New York. I think that idea was pretty effectually dispelled in the recent election. The Democrats didn’t need New York to win the" election, and while it is very desirable for a political party to get the vote of New York state, it is not absolutely necessary.Jiny more I do not believe New Yorkjwill have a candidate for the nomination in 1920. Of course, there are men who are ambitious, but the Republicans in the state realize that the. great West must be considered in the future, and I believe for the most part they are ready and willing to concede this.” —Washington Post.

PHILOSOPHY OF WALT MASON

When I was young the farmers’ shacks were shy of costly tomes; and only last year’s almanacs were found in many homes. 1 used to work for Uncle Hi, I plied the hoe with speed; and when night came how I would sigh for something fit to read! A weekly paper Uncle took, and it was always stale, but for a magazine or book he would dig up no kale. We fed the hogs their luscious stews, and gave the hens their hay, and never hearjd the great world’s news till it was old and gray. Oh, countless farmers lived like this, in that fine oldeh time; they held that ignorance was ■bliss, and reading was a crime. My Uncle Hi is now on high—at least I hope he’s there; his generation had to die, as men must, everywhere. ,‘Tis but some thirty years ago since Uncle cashed his string, and faded from this vale of woe to play a harp and sing. How times have changed! The farmer’s lair has reading, now, to burn; the farmer, in his easy chair, today’s hot news may learn. My Uncle Hi would find things strange, if he could be our guest. How times have changed—and every change seems always for the best!

TO LIVE LONGER —AVOID COLDS

The medical director of one of the large insurance companies of the country gives the following pertinent health hints: Diseases of. the respiratory tract caused a very high per cent of the deaths in America in 1915. In a large majority of. the cases the first symptom noticed was a “cold.” The nose and mouth always contain disease germs ready to attack the body when given the opportunity, and it is when our is lowered that the attack is made - whether the disease proves to be influenza, pneu- ■ monia, or tuberculosis. Nature has | provided a safeguard against the inhalation of these disease-producing germs by building the respiratory tract in such a way to purify the gir breathed. The lining membrane of the nose is covered with small fine hair, and secretes sufficient- amount of mucus material to keep the passage moist. This" serves two functions, first, moistening and warding the air as it passes to the lungs, and second, catching the diseaseproducing germs which . are carried by the- air; thus preventing from entering the lungs. When the functions of the nose are stepped from any cause the I disease germs multiply rapidly and a cold is the result. Mouth breathing interferes with the normal se-

cretion of the nose, the nasal passage becomes dry and congested, and as the germs increase in number there is an increase in the amount of mucus secreted and a persistent “cold” is started. Diseased tonsils, sinus inI sections, ear abscesses resulting in deafness, impaired sense of smell quickly result. Mouth breathing soon become? a habit and is dangerous. Use the nose for the purpose it was intended —-breathing and the sense of smell. , Exposure to cold alone will not cause the condition, But it is the exposure to the extremes of tem- ■ perature which ■ result in a “cold. I “Colds,” as a rule, are the first symptoms of more dangerous diseases of the respiratory tract. i Many tubercular patients describe ; their symptoms as a persistent or a repeated “cold.” The ordinary rules of sanitation and hygiene are the best preventive measure of all diseases. Upon ! one’s habits of living depends the •degree of his physical resistance to a large extent. The use of alcoholic beverages lowers the vitality and invites disease. Frequent ■ bathing is of much value. A cold shower in the morning followed*Tsy\ a brisk rub ' opens the pores of the skin, i better circulation, and raises your physical resistance. There is no better exercise than walking. The trouble with the average business man is that he | becomes tired mentally, and alI lows his muscles to decay at the I same time. Proper exercise will I keep you physically able to resist

a “cold.” x < Drink plenty of pure water and confine your eating to a substantial variety of food. More people contract colds by improper dressing than from any other cause. If your work is inside do not wear heavy clothing, but prepare for the colder atmosphere by the addition of clothing when you leave your work. Mufflers and chamois vests are dangerous. The chest becomes- accustomed to the extra warmtu given by these articles of clothing, and the first time they are neglected the skin becomes chided and a “cold” is the result. Avoid .thin soled shoes and damp feet. Public gatherings are usually prolific sources of infection. Beware of the open window between da ßest is essential to the upbuilding of physical resistance against disease. You cannot work all day and play at night without lowering the resistance. , sleeping porch has done much in lowering the amount of respiratory diseases. • Practice deep breathing through your nose and if you have adenoids have them removed f it is a simple operation, and if done early the tonsils will not be infected and you will be free from the other many results common to mouth breathers. “Colds” may be prevented by frequently irrigating the nasal passage and gargling the throat with a warm salt solution or some light antiseptic wash, the throat, mouth and nose are thoroughly cleansed every night before retiring you will be less susceptible to attack or infection. The care of the teeth is essential to keep the mouth free from harboring disease-producing organisms. , . , Build a reserve of physical resistance by proper living and longevity will result.
