this kind OF workmanship it is all
right for the present. but we know

ELECTROMAGNETIC FORCE
The Great Fundamental Principle OF
the Universe and Its Power to Re-
store Health to Humanity.

Experiments by scientists are constantly
and surely proving electricity TO be the
great motor power of creation. Electric
ity is the most powerful chemical agent,
as well as the basis OF chemical action. 1t
is the primal element of light and heat :;
the promoter of life and the sustainer of
health. Disease yields readily to its mag
netic touch and even unreienting death IS
averted by its presence. Thousands of
afflicted and suffering bear witness to its
healing power, The electromagnetic, as
practiced by Drs. Darrin, has revolution
lied the practice of medicine, as is shown
by the following:

Marshall Fields TariG Bin Case

CHICAGO, Feb. 25.-In the case brough.
by Marshall Field & Co. to test the legal
ity of the United States revenue law,
Judge Blodgett yesterday decided in favor
of the government. The case will be
taken to the supreme court. The Judge
simply affirmed the decision of the APP
praisers, and the decision was short. He
said that he was much impressed by the
arguments the attorneys for the APP
pellant, but it was not the policy of his
court to interfere with the present tariff
rates, owing to the trouble it would cause.
Moreover the supreme court was the place
where final decision must be made. and ne
would allow an appeal The appeal will
be taken immediately
