WiWiiiiifT " »» Kolurnbia, March 8.—The present Mission of the general Assembly is apparently breiathin^ its* lasi r In nil proba’hility adjournment sine die by Saturday will be had. It is true thitt nothing: of a State wide nature has fH^sso‘1 both Houses. There is little probatnlity that any thing of such „ character will tret by. The Senate has passed x the appro priations bill. It will be x reported back to the House Monday \ni>rht with amendments and the House will refuse to concur in them Conferees , * _ \ from each hoily will T>e named and it is not beleivcd they will have much difficulty in adjusting their differ ences. In the meantime the Senate will take up the passage of the soft drinks tax, 4he revenue measure- needed to produce the money appropriated in the appropriation hill, „ There is fcoinjr to be a hard fitfht on this. The cosmetic tax and the tax on ice cream have been removed by the House. But this year they are trying to enact ttie soft drinks tax as a permanent law. I^ast year it was a temporary measure only and then it barely irot through. As to whether it will survive the onslaughts which u ro certain to he made in the Senate remains to he seen. It is ad mitted that the vote ia troin^ to be close and on a close vote anything is liable to happen. The Senate will Ik* the center of attraction during the Week. But the Senate is. expected, to pass this measure by a narrow maririn. Then there will he nothing to do ex cept adopt the conference report on the appropriation bill which should be ready and £o home. There are many important hills on the calendars of both Houses. Some of them may slip throcivrh hut it is not believed that adjournment would la* delayed one single day in order to act on any measure now on the calen dar of either House, the appropria tion bill and soft drinks measure of course l*eini' excepted. A modified revaluation or equali zation scheme has been introduced in the House at the last moment.

Our sun, a million times as big as this earth, is only a speck in what men have called “the universe,” which contains endless millions of suns, some a million \, times bigger than ours. It’s hard enough to think of such a universe as that. 1 And now the wise Dr. Hubble, of Mt.

The revaluation bilf, which the House promised to consider, has been embalmed in the ways and means committee room all year. It has uot even been reported. If the revaluation hill as introduc ed in the House Friday docs become a law it will he passed this week un less there is a hitch : n the free con ference committee on the appropria tion bill or the Senate docs the un expected with the soft drinks tax measure. Then that will require a few weeks longer. It is election year and the men are anxious to get h >me. They know what kind of a taste the| record session of last year loft in the mouths of the citizens of the State. The men who are hacking the re valuation scheme in the House are honest in their endeavor to get somp kind of tax reform started. They liav ( . tried in various ways all dur ing the session to get amendments passed hut th«*se have been slaugh tered by the House. If this one gets by it will be quite a tribute to those who fight for it. Adjournment this week seems al most certain unless u hitch incurs.

It has been said that sleep cures more nerve-disorders' than all the. drugs prescribed, by science, to which . statement most educated physicians willingly subscribe. Normal deep is both preventive and curative for distressing states of the nervous system. Drug sleep is never natuba!—nor is the stupor caused by- over-feeding. For best effects, sleep should be indulged at night. Observe tho new-bem babe- who sleeps most of his time, except when aroused to take nourishment; he is building a nervous system for many years of active service. His food contains the necessary in gredients, ready-prepared for his appropriation; being too feeble to take exercise, his sole business and occupation are the building of the rudimental nerves along with the “temple’’ in which they are com fortably housed.
