BURLESON, “Postmaster General.” Only magazines containing the printed notice can be sent at this special rate, which is considerably lower than the regular mailing charge, especially for mail to be sent abroad, so old magazines can not be sent. But all periodicals which con- tain these notices need only be stamped and sent to any local post office or carrier, without wrapping or addressing to be delivered to some soldier or sailor in France or England or elsewhere in active service.

New Britain is no exception. Every section of the U. 8. resounds with i praise of Doan's Kidney Pills. Thirty thousand persons are giving testi- mony in their home newspapers. The | sincerity of these witnesses, the fact that they live so near, is the best proof of the merit of Doan's. Here's a New Britain case. 3 Mrs. A. Remington, 488 Arch St., { says: “Five years ago the doctor said that I would havy to undergo an | operation if the medicine he gave me | didn’t cure me o1 inflamation of the bladder, from which I suffered tor- ments. After his medieine had failed, I tried other rensodfes but got no help. The pains in my back were fear- ful and at times I couldn’t turn over in bed. For a week at a time I could hardly get around and wouldn't dare leave the house. The first box of Doan’s Kidney Pills gave me relief and six or seven boxes cured me."” 60c at all dealers.

K. i by State Courts, Overruled ‘Washington, Nov. 6.—Louisville’s negro segregation ordinance was yes- terday declared uncontsltutional by the supreme court. The decision af- fect¢ similar “ordinances in Balti- more, Richmond, St. Louis and any routhern cities. The Louisville negro segregation or- dinance was appealed to the Supreme court from the Court of Appeals of Kentucky after all the courts in_ that state had declared is constitutional. The ordinance became effective on May 11, 1914, and its purpose was to “prevent conflict and 11l feeling be- tween the white and colored races in the city of Louisville and to preserve the public peace and promote the ! general welfare by making reasonable provisions requiring as far as practic- able the use of separate blocks for ! residence, places of abode and places 4 of assembly by white and colored respectively.” The ordinance does not attempt to confine members of either race to cer- tain sectioms of the city, fut fur- nishes a mans whereby in the future a separation of the two races into white and negro sections will be gradually accomplished. The city block is made the unit and members of each race are prohibited from)| moving into a block where the major- ity of residences are occupied by those af the opposite color. The ordinance |% in no way affects the right of occup- ancy of houses acquired prior to its passage. Persons desiring to erect new build- ings must obtain from the building de- partment of the city information as to-whether the black upon which the bullding Is to be erected is either white or colored and the application for the building permit must state for what purpose the building is to be used and by what race. The owners ship and devolution of property are in no way affected, merely the occu- pancy in certain cases is rmricted as stated. The law only affects property within the limits of the city of Louisville. Suburban subdivisions are not -af- fected thereby, it being the contention of the farmers that the, crowded con- ditions and close association of negro and white families in the city tends to cause conflict and dizorder, as well as to lead to the danger of amalgama- tion af the two rces. It was also depreciated. Opponents of the ordinance claim that as a result of the measure the negro inhabitants. of Louisville would be compelled to live in.quarters where they “will be thrown into close touch with and subject to contamination by disagreeable and worthless neighbors and that it prevents them from mov- ing Into desirable and healthy nelgh- borhoods and confines them to un- healthy and crowded localities.” This contenition was expressly denied by the advocates for the ordinance. They assert that the ordinance is framed so that what is prohibited to the negra is prohibited to the white and that the ordinance will be the means of rid- ding the negro sections of that un- desirable class of white people which is frequently found in such localities. 1t is further claimed that the question of desirability is economic and that experience has shown that the negro sections -when relieved of the burden of updesirable residents Wfll be made desirable. " Opponents also contend that the property rights of the negroes in the city of Louisville are greatly affected thereby. This is met by the con- tention of the advocates for the or- dinance that the same rule applies to the white as well as to the negro residents. What is granted one is granted the other. What is denied the one is denied the other. And further, as the white people own the bulk of property in the city of Louls- ville, that any restrictions upon pro- perty would fall heavier upon the white owner than upaon the negro owner. The case was the outgrowth of a suit instituted by Charles H. Buch- anan, white property owner, to com- pel Willlam Warley, a negro, to ful- fil a contract to purchase his 0~ perty. The ideal was conditional upon Warley's being able to reside there under the terms of the segregation or- dinance. It was alleged in the peti- tion that the lot in question, being next to a negro residence, Was, not saleable to a white person for a resi- dence and, therefore the owner was unconstitutional and asking that purpose. As the majority of persons living on the block, where the pro- perty was located, were white, Warley was not permitted to occupy the pro- perty for a residence and refused to complete the deal on this ground. Buchanan instituted a suit againat Warley, alleging that the ordinance was unconstitutionl and sking that the defendant be compelled to fulful the alleged contract. The circuit court of Jefferson county upheld the validity of the segregation ordinance. A sim- ilar deoision was handed down in the Kentucky court of Appeals. THEY LOVE JAM. London, Oct. 17.—The British army in France gets nearly 2,000,000 pounds of jam every week from this country. The daily ration of three ounces of cheese calls for a ship- ment of between 1,000,000 and 2,- 000,000 pounds weekly while the daily ration of just over half an ounce of tea absorbs over half a million pound! each week.
