by Loser Body
The House of Representatives at
V40 o’clock Satundaiy morning gave
tlrird leading to the new general ap
propriations bill dind ordered it soot
t» the Senate—am! then adjourned
■ntil Wednesday morning.
The Senate returaed to Cotumblla
TmevMy rnght to i-ocei^e the m*w
kill and began (xmaids'i-ation of it
Wednewlay morning. After being
•aauBndc‘1 in that body-—<n w'hat |>ar-
thruVaJs no one can. i«dl—it wild be
returned to the House, which will
WtHy refuse to concur in the Senate
Ameadments and then the bill will
*■> to a committee oompo-ed of mem-
hen of the House and Senate and a
Ml—made up by compromising the
appropriations nwlr by the Howe
asd those by the Senate—will be
drawn and submitted to both houses
Tor adoption. What will be the fate
of that Compromise report remains to
ie reen.
!j»st week the hovwe rejected such
a compromise report- ‘•Bind the work
writing a new bill had to be un
dertaken.
Adjournment i>f the genetfel as-
*«hly is possible this week, but un-
heys a grewter spirit of ($f>mpromiW| them
between the two ho\8*e* than has l>een

hr rear bed before next week.
Not only will the general assembly
art a new mark for length, but the
hcaisr carved its name in legislative
history Last week when it rejected
the report of the free conference
nwnmittee on the* firat appropriations
lai the first time j-tirh a thing has
rred since 1X70.

When the first appropriations bill
pussed the housr* back* in March, it
rmrried a total of approximately $10,-
:i«bJOOO. The senate, by its amend-
mrrt.«, raised that tots! to upproxi-
iwatrly $10,077,000. The tiee confer-
«-r»-» is-mmitt**!* cut that bill U> a

Dui ing the debate on the bill there
was a strong move to keep the bill
below $10,000,000.. As it finally
emerged from the house it can Jed a
total of $10,132,550.
One item of $200,000 was stricken
out. , It was 4»r paying interest
chargo s on the public debt, ch27ges
which will be eliminated by the pool

provided fr.r by an amendment. Thin
was offset largely by the incluaion of

“Not a great deal- of debate was en-

giged in, speeches being limited to
three minutes. The hydro-electric
tax proposed in an amendment by W.
B. Norton^ cf Marion, barely escaped
being adbpted. It was a similar tax
which led the house to reject the
first free conference bill. Mr. Norton
said, its passage would be indeed an
“olive branch” to the .'enate.
It bras killed by a vote of 38 to 36.

The house wanted to adjourn and

bill cculd get its final reading.
■ When efforts were made to recon-
sid«- the vote whereby the house had
agreed to meet Saturday morning at
10, P. D. Huff, of Lauren* objected,
and as unanimous consent wa s re
quired fbr such change cf hour, the
house was in a quandary.

Piece by piece, scientific discoveries
have beeu put together to reveal the
story of one of the great mysteries of
nature, the origin of the nitrate fields
In South Ame.rtca.
• •
According to geological history, the
vast, barren desert of Northern Chile
in which the nitrate deposits are found
was onee the bottom of the Pacific-
Ocean. . Millions of years—no orte
knows the number—have probably
passed sipce Nature buried this treas
lire in that desolate plateau thousands
of leet above the Pacific.
Authorities who have studied the
deposits believe that, either as a result
of a sudden upheaval or the gradual
rising of the continent, great bodies
of waters from the Pacific were com
pletely enclosed by rising land. A
heating sun.'pouring down., upon the
inland lakes in this new reghm. grad-,
(tally dried up the salt water, destroy
ing plant and animal life. Then fol
lowed slow oxidation which, with other
natural processes, produced almost by
magic an entirely new substance—
Chilean nitrate of soda, as it is called
today. The nitrate, with other min
erals, is now found in beds In an area
covering 75.000 square miles, 'where It
has l»ecn baked and seasoned for cen
turles. -
It is generally thought that the
natural origin of Chilean nitrate ac
counts for its unusual record of service
to farmers of the world. It contains,
besides nitrogen, a number of other
important elements—potassium, calci
um, magnesium,. iodine, and horun.
AU of these are essential for the
growth aud health of plants. It is
because of the.presence of these ele
ments that' Chilean * nitrate is fre
quently called "nitrogen plus." It* is
more than a sotm** «^f ^■'Id'ingeu.
The convmerdf •H^^Bi(Mion of the
nitrate deposi^P^^ra^d iu 1830.
The fertilizer ever since,
and It is now' the oldest
of the commercia^^dTulizing mate-''
rials. In this country about three
quarters of a million tons are .used
annually. According to conservative
estimate^, the supply is adequate to
meet the need of the world for several
centuries, even if the rale of consump
tion is materially increased.

“TF I got constipated,
m I would get dizzy
and have swimming
in my head. I would
have very severe
headache.
“For a while I
thought I wouldn't
take anything—may
be I could wear out
the headaches; but I
found they were
wearing me out.
“I found Black-
Draught x would re
lieve this, so when I-
have the very first
symptoms, I take
Black-Draught and
now I don’t have the
headache.
‘T am a firm be-,
liever in Black-
Draught, and after
using it 20 or* more
years, I am satisfied
to continue its use.”
