Freak Legislation Will
Be Introduced in Congress
By Gentlemen From West

Washington, Bee. 19.—There are
some indications that congress is go
ing to be invaded this fall by measures
heretofore restricted to the state leg
islatures of Indiana, Missouri. Kansas,
Arkansas and other states where
freak legislation usually flourishes. In
1907, in the hungry month of Feb
ruary, when one Murphy, sitting for a
j Missouri district in the house of rep
resentatives, gave battle on the floor
to the end that his anti-tipping bill
should become a law in the District
of Columbia.
And so it is lo happen again, if pri
vate advices may be trusted, before

congress has waned. A congressman
from west of the Alleghenies, is com
ing to Washington this year to win
fame or die t^ing—and he believes
his mortal end is far off-pushing a
bill through congress abolishing the
tipping evil in the District of Colum
bia. It is declared that in this city
monthly there is handed over to wait
ers approximately $15,000 in table
tips; and with this as a basis to
build totals on the gentleman from
west of the Alleghenies will cite the
fortunes thrown to the barbers, who

the hope of treasury officials the gov

bowing from this time forth than they
have been making for the past year.
As the treasury nowj stands, it has
a deficit for the .current fiscal year
about $45,000,900. If Congress should
come together in special session next
spring with the treasury in this shape
and showing no signs of mending, it is
impossible to see how new methods
of raising revenue could be escaped.

ftre, should this bill be enacted into
law, it will interfere with his personal
liberty under the constitution,
would be unconstitutional If It were
to be tested by the final court of this
country. ,
And the head waiter of a famous
restaurant, appearing on the same side
of the fence, hut speaking through
another knothole, told the commission
ers that "if a man copies in for a
dinner, it is the duty of the waiter
tc wait upon him as quickly as pos
sible. If the waiter sees that he will
no! get a tip from him, he does not
care whether the man stays there all
day or not. The head w.iter has to
be constantly after him to make him
serve the guest. The tip is always
before the waiter.
"1 a gentleman who does not give
a tip, and one who does, come into
the dining room together, the one who
gives tips will have his wants antici
pated while the other has to call for
everything he desires,
knows in the first case that there Is
something coming and he will work
for it."

spring up with renewed vitality from
experiences that would annihilate any
lesser bond, but the renewal may be

EYESTRAINS
Errors of refraction (eye defects)
cause epilepsy, chorea (St. Vitus
Dance), indigestion, insomnia (sleep
lessness), vertigo, neuralgia, nausla,
neurasthenia (nerve exhaustion) and
almost always sick-headache. "in tbe
eyes themselves they cause Inflamma
tion of tbe borders of the lids, aa<r
of tbe mucous membrane of tbe eye,
styes, cataract, granulated lids, cross
eyes," etc., etc., all due to tbe con
tinuous effort that the nerves and
muscles of the eyes are put to by the
demands of the brain centers for clear
vision. Properly fitted glasses is the
only remedy for eye-strain, we do this.
