Iowa Law Turned Down.

WASHINGTON, May 1.-The supreme
court in the case of Fl. Rhodes, railroad
agent at Brighton, Iowa, VS.. the State
of Iowa, held that the Iowa law for
bidding the sale of liquor in the state
and making it crime to transport
them, is unconstitutional, as interter-
ence with interstate commerce.
Rhodes, as the agent of the company,
carried certain liquor that had been
shipped from outside the state, to
man in Brighton. from the car in
which it came to the station ware
house. about ten feet. For this he
was prosecuted personally for having
violated the law which prohibits the
TRANSFORMATION of liquor in the state to
persons not authorized to receive IL.
He brought an action in the federal
court to prevent the state from punish
ing him, on the ground that he was
only an agent of the railway company,
perfecting the transportation OF the
original package. which it is admitted
the railway company had the right to
carry. Lawyers say if it had been de-
cided against Rhodes, no railway COM
pany could have shipped liquor to
persons not holding permits, because
such action would subject the railway
companies to all the penalties OF the
old prohibitory law. The decision
. will not. it is thought, have any other
effect upon the state liquor law. though
| its full purport is not known.

SUCCESS.

Or. Hathaway & Co. g successes have become d
household word Why? The answer 10 simple.
They are men with the courage of their convic-
tons. 0rluinat0rs, not imtatoFS. Their methods,
like themselves are in harmony with the people
and the times. New and up to date. Among the
legions of miscalled experts and legitimate
specialists they stand to-day with clean hands in
the front rank of respectable professionalism as
acknowledged originators of the new and nov
widely adopted method of treating chronic and
complicated disorders.
Their reputation rests not on the cheap, trans
parent platform of purchased testimony, but on
long list of cured patients, visible local wit
nesses of their skill. AS physicians of business
and social status in the community they pledge
complete course of treatment and ultimate cure
by the Hathaway method, P" unabridged, and at
prices within the reach of all.
They are regular graduates in medicine from
some of the best medical colleges in the world
and hold licenses to practice from different State
Boards of Health. They conduct their business
on strictly professional basis promising moth
ing but what they can fulfill, and do not adopt
the many fake and fraudulent methods that many
doctors and so-called specialists in offering free
prescriptions cheap medicines and G. o. d. fakes
in order to obtain few dollars from their unfor.
tunate victims.
