SAYS BACKACHE IS " THE DANGER SIGNAL Gives a Prescription Said to Prevent and Relieve Serious Kidney Disease. More people succumb each year to some form of kidney trouble than any other cause. The slightest form of kidney derangement often developes into Bright’s Kidney disease, diabetes of dropsy. =~ When either of these diseases are sus- pected the sufferer should at once seek the best medical attention pos- sible. Consult only a good, first- class physician, leave patent medi- cines alone. There are many of the lesser symptoms of kidney trouble which can be treated at home, is stated well-known authority. For some of these such as backache, pain in the region of the kidneys, weak bladder, frequency, (especially at night) painful scalding and other urinary troubles, try the following simple home remedy: Fluid Ex- tract Dandelion one-half ounce; Compound Kargon one ounce; Com- pound Syrup Sarsaparilla three ounces. These simple ingredients are harmless and can be obtained at any good prescription pharmacy, and anyone can mix them by shak& ing well in a bottle. The dose for adults is a teaspoonful after each meal and again at bedtime. There is no better general remedy known to relieve all forms of rheu- matism either, because it acts dir- ectly upon the kidneys and blood. It cleans the clogged up pores in the kidneys so they can filter and strain from that blood the poison- ous uric acid and waste matter which if not eliminated remain in the blood; decompose and settle about the joints and muscular tissues causing the untold suffer- ing and deformity of the rheuma- tism. Backache is nature’s signal noti- fying the sufferer that the kidneys are not acting properly. “Take care of your kidneys,” is now the pl’gysicians‘ advice to his patients. LAW 1S KNGCKED 0T Federal Supreme Court Kills Em- ployers Liability Act. IS HELD UNCONSTITUTIONAL -| Decision Declares Statute Attempts to Regulate Intrastate Commerce and Also Dealings Between the Rail- roads and Their Employes. Washington, Jan. .—In an opinion by Justice White the supreme court of the United States held to be un- constitutional the congressional enact- ment of June 11, 1906, known as “the employers’ lability law,” making rail- roads and other common carriers re- sponsible to employes in accidents due to the negligence of fellow serv- ants or to ineffective appliances. The decision of the lower courts was affirmed. There were two cases before the court involving the question of the validity of the law, cne of them being the case of Damaselle Howard, ad- | ministratrix of her husband, Will Howard, a locomotive fireman, who was killed in an accident on the Tlli- nois Central railroad near Memphis, Tenn., and the other that of N. C. Brooks, administratrix and mother of Morris 8. Brooks, a fireman, who was killed on the Southern Pacific road in Nevada. The Howard case was tried in the United States circuit court for the Woestern district of Tennessee, with Judge MecCall presiding, and the Brooks case in the United States cir cuit court for the Western district of Kentucky, with Judge Walter Evans on the bench. In the former case damges amounting to $25,000 were de- mandeq, while in the latter the sum was fixed at $20,000. The railroads fought both cases strenuously, both in the trial courts and the supreme court, and in each case obtained a ver- dict against the complainants on the ground of the unconstitutionality of the law. Invalid on Two Grounds. Judge Evans and Judge McCall fol- lowed the same line of reasoning in reaching their conclusions, both hold- ing the law to be invalid on the dou- ble ground that a congressional enact- ment could not be made applicable to intrastate commerce, as they claimed was undertaken in this law, and that protection from accidents in inter- state commerce could not be con- strued as any part of “commerce” of any kind. Both the Kentucky and Tennessee decisions were affirmed by Justice White’s opinion on the ground that the law is not confined to the regulation of the business of inter- state carriers, but undertakes to reg- ulate thelr dealings with their em- ployes. The decision has been expected ever since the heginning of the recent term of court, as the cases were ar- gued last term, but the reason for de- lay became apparent when the court’s conclusions were announced. It then became evident that while Justice ‘White had been chosen to announce the court’s decislon there were com- paratively few of his colleagues who ‘were agreed with him as to the argu- ment by which he reached his con- clusifon and the result had been reached with difficulty. The chief justice, Justice Brewer and Justice Peckham joined with Justice White in the result arrived at, but they did not follow him in his assertion of the power of congress to regulate the re- lation between master and servant. Justice Day concurred in the decision. Justice Moody dissented entirely, holding that the law is constitutional on all points. He expressed the opin- fon that congress had the general power to pass the act and the court's position was an interference with the domain of the legislative branch ot the government. Justices Harlan and McKenna unite in an opinion affirming the constitu- tionality of the act, holding it to be applicable only to employes engaged at the time in interstate commerce. Justice Holmes also delivered a brief dissenting opinion. Summed up the court stood five to four against the constitutionality of the law. INDICTMENT ALLEGES FRAUD Former Chemist in Bureau of Engrav- ing Accused. Washington, Jan. .—The grand Jury has returned indictments against Edwin M. Van Dyck, a former chemist in the bureau of engraving and print- ing, alleging that he worked in con- Junction with a wholesale ink manu- facturer of Baltimore to the extent that the government has been defraud. ed out of between $70,000 and $75,000.

Washington, Jan. .—A decision was rendered by the supreme court of the United States in the case of the Unit- ed States vs. Henry Winters.and oth- ers, involving the right to the waters of Milk river in Northern Montana, in favor of the United States. The suit was instituted by the government in the interest of the Indians on the Fort Belknap reservation, for the use of whom the water_was appropriated in 1889, Subsequently to that {ime Win- ters and others constructed a ditoh, whose head gate was above (he res- ervation on Milk river and through which all the water of the stream was appropriatod. The government sought to secure an injunction, which was granted by the circuit court of the United States for Montana, whose de- olsion was ‘affirmed by the circuit court of appeals. The ditch owners then brought the case to the supreme court, which, in-its decision, affirmed the findings of the lower courts. The court’s opipjon was announced by Jus- tice McKenna. SENSATIONAL STORY DENIED France Would Regret American- Japanese War. Parfs, Jan. .—The French govern- ment is considerably exercised over the reports cabled to some American newspapers last week in which it Is represented .as secretly desirous of a war between-Japan and the United States and the destruction of the American fleet, with the ultimate ob- Jject of witnessing the internationali- zation of the Panama canal. The Associated Press was author- ized to declare that nothing could be farther from the truth. France is the sincere friend of both countries and she is extremely desirous of seeing the present difficulties settled am- icably. On the other hand, a growing nerv- ousness regarding the outcome is to be seen in diplomatic circles here. A representative of .one of the great vowers said in this connection: “While I am- optimistic regarding the immigration question, unless there should be a recurrence of the unfortu- nate attacks upon Japanese in Cali- fornia, I sm distinctly pessimistic con- cerning the settlement of the ultimate issue, that of commercial supremacy in the Pacific. America stands for the open door; she has stood quietly by while Japan proceeded to monopolize Korea ‘and Manchuria. When she seeks to enter China, as she will, America must either call a halt or abandon the doctrine of the open door, which ‘has been the keystone of her rolicy in the Far BEast.” HARTJE AGAIN TURNED DOWN May Now Appeal Case to Federal Su- preme Court.
