BY n vote of five to four, the United
States Supreme Court holds that the
so-called antitrust law applies to asso-
Citations of railroad companies formed
for the purpose of discouraging rate
cutting. This is the most important
decision handed down since the in
come tax ruling 1t reyerses the de-
cisions Of all the inferior courts on the
question. The narrow margin by
which it was carried indicates that
there is no unanimity of sentiment
about it on the Supreme Court bench.
The effect of the ruling has been to dis
solve the various railroad pooling as
sociations and a general rate war seems
imminent This marks another step
in the antitrust propaganda that has
made such Roadway during the past
few years The majority Of people

whereby they are able 10 fix prices
which the public must pay. Cndoubt-

real benefit TO the country while at
the same time they have made their
promoters inordinately rich. But
there are others that have "put on

A Reminiscence OF INLAND.

once came myself in personal contact
with INLAND, the head of the Swabian
school of poetry, when he was already an
old man. He came to Leipsic when was
q student there, and staid at the house Of
Professor Haupt, the famous Latin and
German scholar. INLAND was a very shy
and retiring man, and had declined every
kind Of public reception. However, the
young students would not be gainsaid,
and after assembling in the afternoon to
consider what should be done to show their
respect to the German poet and the liberal
German politician they marched of, some
900 or 500 of them, drew up in front OF the
house where they knew INLAND was stay
ing and sang some of Chland's songs
At last INLAND, a little, old, wrinkled
man, appeared at the window and expect
cd evidently that some one should address
him. But no arrangements had been
made, and no one ventured to speak, fear
ing that at the came time two or three
others might step forward to address the
old poet. After waiting a considerable
time the position became SO trying that
could hear 1t no longer. / stepped for
ward, and in a few words told INLAND
how he was loved by us as a poet, as a
scholar and as a fearless defender Of the
rights of the people, and how proud we
were to have him among u.s. We then
waited to hear him speak, but he could not
overcome his shyness and sent message
to ask some of us to come into his room to
shake hands with him. Even then he
could say but very little, but when he
knew that was the son of his old friend,
wilhelm Muller, he was pleased. To me IL
was like vision of bygone age, and
whenever hear his song, les zogen drei
Burschen wohl uber den Rhein," or when
1 read his beautiful ballads, see the silent
poet looking ut me with his kind eyes, un-
able to use meaningless words, but simply
saying, THANK you. -" Recollections' OF

lor's first accident In his 80 years expert
ence when q loss OF life resulted. The ac-
cident was due to q confusion OF signals.

Taylor has appeared much depressed

HEART DISEASE.
SOME FACTS REGARDING the RAPID M
CREASE OF HEART TROUytEs.
DO Not he lAiarmed. But Rsok FOR

Do Not BE lAiarmed. But Rsok FOR
the Cause.
Heart troubles, at least among Americans,
are certainly increasing and while t&lis may
be largely due to the excitement and worry
OF American business life, 1t Is moro often
the result OF weak stomachs, of poortfges-
tion.
Real, organic heart disease is incursbIe,
but not one case in a hundred of heart
trouble, is organic.
The close relation between heart trouble,
and poor digestion is because both organs
are controlled by branches of the Same
great nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneu-
mogastrfc.
In another way, also the heart IL affected
by that form Of poor digestion, which
causes gas and fermentation from half di-
and heaviness In the chest caused by pres
sure OF the distended stomach on the heart.
and lungs, interfering with their action:
hence arises palpitation and short breath.
Poor digestion also poisons the blood,
makes 1t thin and watery, which irritates
and weakens the heart.
The most sensible treatment for heart
troubles is to improve the digestion and to-
insure the prompt assimilation of food.
This can best be done by the regular use,
after meals, of some safe, pleasant and eff
fective digestive preparation, like Stuart's
Dyspepsia Tablets, which may be found at
most drug stores and which contain valua-
BILE, harmless digestive elements, in a pleas
ant, convenient form.
1t Is safe to say that the regular, persis-
tent use OF Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets at
meal time will cure any form of stomach
trouble, except cancer of stomach.

most druggists at 80 cents or by mail from
