In these times when backs are lame, when
almost every other one we meet has now and
then or all the time a back that aches or
pains weak back, ga bad back, back
that makes their lifea misery to bear-and
still they go on day by day in pain and suf-
fering. Now, tits the easiest thing in the
world to give this played-out back ga blow"
that win settle it and put in its place a new
one equal to any. It's just like this: Hit at
the cause; most backaches come from kidney
disorders. Reach the kidneys, start their
clogged-up fibers in operation; when this is
done you can say goodbye to backache.
There are many grateful people in Owosso
who can tell you how simple a trick it is.

REPLY TO HIS CRITICS
Made by Judge Jackson, of West vir-

RESTRAINING ORDER PERPETUAL.
Debs and Others Not Having Put Up Any
Defense-Hard Coal Strike About
at an End Miners of

Illinois.
Wheeling, w. Va, Sept. 21.-The feat
ure of interest in the opening session
of the September term of the United
States court for the district of West
Virginia was the application of ex-Gov-
ernor A. b. Fleming, of Fairmont, to
make the injunction against Eugene ".
Debs and others perpetual The gov
ernor was acting for his client, the
Monongah Coal company, and as there
was no appearance for any of the de-
PENDANTS the injunction was made per-
petual. In the, course of his remarks In
making this decision Judge Jackson
said that If like case were presented
to him now he would make the same
kind of order he had made at Parkers-
burg, where the temporary injunction
was issued recently. Continuing, he
said: There have been some public
structures that I know are due to the
fact that the order made in these cases
was not understood. This decision Is
founded on good law, good morals, and
justice.
Precedents for 200 Years.
Nearly 200 years ago courts of equity
In England issued restraining orders to
protect the citizen in his right of prop
erty. There Is no reason why the rights
Of property owners should not be pro-
tected by the courts. These owners in
vested large sums of money in their
plant at Monongah and the bill for in
junction alleged that the defendants
were about to do things that would
lessen the value of the property and
possibly destroy it. The law is that
where an injury is threatened to which
the law afforts no adequate remedy,
then the court of equity interferes to
prevent the injury, and this is such
u case. The injunction abridged no
right of the miners, did not interfere
with the right of free speech, and was
a carefully prepared and well consid-
cred order.
Considers the Order Good Law.
IT instructed my officers, in taking
that injunction to serve it, to stand be-
hind it like the soldier behind the
fortress, but to keep within the lines
Of the injunction and not to extend or
step beyond 1t, and do nothing excepting
exactly that which was required. This
order was not an innovation. 1t is an
application Of what I consider good law,
and was done In a proper case to pro-
tect property Of the plaintiffs, which
the court conceives to be its duty, just
as 1t would protect the rights of the de-
PENDANTS in the proper exercise of all
their privileges under the constitution"

Statistics of the Industry That May BE

Pittsburg June 16.-A strike in the tin
plate industry seems certain. and the
conference on the wage scale is not
likely to accomplish anything tending
to a settlement as both sides are firm

made.
There are 80 tin plate plants in the
United States, operated by 3s eompa-
MES, the Americas Tin Plate company
operating two plants. one at Ellwood
and the other at Montpelier, Ind. These
80 plants represent 1ss mills, but nine Of
them are small affairs and do not figure
to any great extent in the industry.
The total number of skilled workmen
employed in the industry is 1921 of
which 273 are nonunion men. The num-
