promptly paasing four bills on the calen

Importance. Yet every one of the bills
waa passed by a unanimous vote of the
senate. The most Important was the bill
to give specific duties to the county at
torneys with regard t6 the enforcement of
all lawa of the state. This Is a bill by
Senator Cosson as a supplement to the bill
he had paased laat week with regard to
giving additional dutlea to sheriffs. It re
quires the county attorneys to prosecute
all offenders, and it open the way for the
removal of such officers If they yield to
local sentiment and refuse to prosecute,
The Dowell bill to require th payment by
banks In which county funds are depos
lted of 1 per cent interest and forbidding
the county treasurer from recelvelng any
benefit therefrom, was passed. This Is a
departure from the custom which haa given
to the county treasurer th benefit of this
fund.
The senate also passed tha Francis bill
to require the placing of lights on steam
and sail boats in Iowa waters, and the bill
to legalise the act of the town of Anamosa
with regard to waterworks.
Protect th Committee Clerks.
In the house Mr. Allred Introduced a
resolution to forbid members from having
their feet on the desks while dictating to
stenographers, and compelling them to re
move their cigars. It also requires the
members to go to the cloak rooms for
smoking. The resolution went over.
A resolution In th house by Stillman
would provide a special committee of seven
to draft amendments to the drainage laws
to conform to the new amendment to the
constitution.

number of bills with a publication clause.
For State-Wide Prohibition.
Senator Whipple prcaented a petition
from inmates of the State Institution for
Inebriates at Knoxvllle, asking for the sub
mission to the voters of a constitutional
amendment for total prohibition of the
liquor traffic. He also presented a num
ber of other similar petitions from persona

Oraj Bssdsd tha Color of Toath.
Juat when tha flrat bald-headed man
traveled over the pike la an svent not
chronicled tn the world's history. Bald
ness with some people Is hereditary.
There Is no more chance of putting a new
crop of hair on bald heada of that sort
than there is to grow rosea In a gravel
pit.
Dr. Nott. however, with his Q-ban Hair
Restorer, has made it possible for thou
aands of bald-headed men to stop the
loss of the hair that remalna and to re
store to thousands of others, hair that
wis loat through seborrheal ecsema. The
record of hair crops to the credit of this
Q-ban Hair Restorer Is phenomenal. Thla
Is really a wonderful preparation. It Is
not a hair dye, but It acts aa If It was
dipped from the Fountain of Youth. Old,
faded, gray hair ta restored to th nat
ur.ij color of earlier daya.
This la no empty claim. It Is backed
up by a guarantee as good as money In
tha bank. If three bottles of Dr. Nott's
Q-ban Hair Restorer uaed as directed
do not restore color to hair so treated,
druggists of whom you bought the
magical preparation will give you back
very cent you paid for it. One bottle
can be had free.
These druggists are not philantroplsts.
They are fortified In this offer by the
great Tennessee house of Hesslg-Ellls
Drug Co., of Memphln, who control all the
valuable formulas of Dr. Nott, whoa tri
umphs In medieal science ar part of the
story of th South.
Dr. Nott's Q-ban Hair Restorer will not
enly restore natural color to hair, but is
guaranteed to snabU you to keep th hair
you hav and provide you with a lovely,
luxuriant, silken head of hair.
It is a delightful hair dressing a most
valued addition to anybody's toilet
