The editor of the Rushville Recorder will probably see to it hereafter that postage is fully prepaid on letters which he sends out. Recently it was nec essary for him to make night trip by automobile to Alliance to bring over a proof of publica tion which was necessary to be at the U.

This season has been set apart and designated as the Third Na tional Tuberculosis Day by the National Association for the I Study and Prevention of Tuber culosis, which makes this an-' nouncenient today. Tuberculosis Day was origin-; ally set on April 28th, but was j postponed because of a Conflict with Conservation Sunday of j the Men and Religion Forward j Movement, which was held on that date. The observance of Tuberculosis Day in the fall this year will be utilized by anti-tu-berculosis workers not only for the general education of church goers on consumption, but also for the purpose of interesting them in the sale of lied Cross Christmas Seals. Everyone of the 600 and more anti tuberculosis associations al lied with the National Associa tion, will be urged to promote Tuberculosis Day in their re spective emmunities. While last year over 50,000 churches ob served this occasion, it is expect ed this year that this number will be doubled. Millions of cir culars and other forms of litera ture will be distributed. The support of every religious de nomination will be asked for. That tuberculosis is a serious problem among church congtv gations is evidenced by statistics which the National Association the one receiving the hlsihest number of affirmative votes shall thereby become law as to all conflicting provisions. The Constitutional limitations as to scope and subject matter of statutes enacted by the legislature shall apply to those enacted by the Initiative. Section 1B.

When the referendum is ordered upon an act or any part thereof It shall suspend Its operation until the same Is approved by the voters; provided, that emergency acts, or acts for the Immediate preserva tion of the public peace, health, or safety shall continue in effect until rejected by the voters or repealed bv the legislature. Filing of a referendum petition against one or more Items, sections, or parts of an act shall not delay the remainder of the measure from becoming operative. Section ID.
