SUSTAINS THE LAW.

sas Cattle Law.
Washington, March 14.-In the SUI
preme court to-day an opinion was
handed down by Justice Harlan in the
case of the Missouri. Kansas & Texas
railway VS.. Charles Haber affirming
the eonstitutionality and validity OF
the state laws of Kansas prohibiting
the transportation into the state OF
cattle affected with Texas fever and
providing for civil action for damages
in case of infraction of the law.
These laws were attacked on the
ground that they were repugnant to the
constitution of the United States and
also on the ground that domestic cat
tie were sufficiently protected by fed
eral laws and by regulations or the
agricultural department under the act
establishing the bureau OF animal IN
dustry. Referring to this latter con-
tention, Justice Harlan says:
THE act of congress did not assume
TO give any corporation or person the
affirmative right to transport from one
state to another state cattle that were
liable to impart or capable of commu-
nicating contagion or communicable
diseases. On the contrary, 1t was made

tanned by the owners of domestic cattle

state of such diseased cattle, is sub
fect about which the animal industry
act could not assume to make any pro-
vision. The act does not declare that

Its Worst Form and DO Not Know IL.
A weak stomach is the cause of about
nine-tenths of all disease, yet in most

the true cause overlooked.
This is because a weak digestion pro-

turbs the action of every nerve and or
