though the flag of the South African

But in 1856 the parties to the declara-
tion of Paris brought about a new era
in international law by four new rules
relating to warfare at sea, one of which
was that the practice of privateerlng
is and remains abolished. Other ma

DECISION AFFECTING VETERANS.
Justice Barnard's Decision in Favor of Two

who had reached the age OF 90 and were therefore
removed from the police force in accordance with
the provisions OF tho city charter. Justice Bar
nard held that the Civil Service act covers all
similar cases in all parts Of the State and that
the REALTORS although they had attained the age of
60. were within the protection Of the act He
said that their age. coupled even with but slight
impairment OF vigor, might, in the discretion
OF the proper authority Justify their removal
but that they could be removed only upon charges
and notice and an opportunity on the part of the
REALTORS 10 be heard upon the question Of dsquali-
fcation and incompentcy. The two policemen
are Civil War pensioners, but Justice Barnard
held that their admission Of physical disability
does not dsqpalify them Of itself. but could be
properly used in trial to show their incompentcy
10 perform the duties Of a policeman.
The city appealed from Justice Barnard's
decision and the Appellate Division dismisses
the appeal. The case will go to the Court Of
Appeals. In the meantime the two policemen
will have long vacation, the force will be short

lens of physical health and comfort.

There may, however, be need for a
PHYSICIANS advice to supplement the adj
vice of the mother. In such case the
offer of free consultation by letter, made
by DR.. Pierce, opens the way to health,
and at the same time avoids the un-
pleasant questionings, the repulsive ex-
aminations and offensive local treatments
which less experienced physicians often
insist on.
Any sick or ailing woman is invited to
write to DIR. Pierce, Buffalo, in the strict
est privacy. Each letter is held as a
sacred confidence and its answer is sent
in plain envelope, bearing no printing
upon it.
Do not be misled by advertisements

vice. Any physician or doctor who has

who offer medical advice" and invite
you to write to woman do not claim
that the woman is a doctor. The "medi-

is Just as dangerous as the medical
