KIDNEY TROUBLES.

Another common mistake Is that
corn is left too thick; the rows are
often too close together but NOR
often too thick in the drill, Con-
nected with this is the fact that
our planters, when it is too late to
remedy the mistake, thin out the
vigor after vital growth has been
spent and the chief harm has been
done.
Again just as the corn crol
reaches the stage Of ear making o.
maturing, and when, above all othel
times, it shoull be reinforced, in
vigorated and help they quit cult
vatlng; and amid the parching hea'
and often willing drouth the grain

thing worked for all the season
and yet the help is not furnished at
the vital and all important hours.
But this is not all the evil pro-
duced by this carelessness. The
burrs and weeds and other pests
grow rank aud make the gathering
troublesome and expensive and the
land is feul and harder to cultivate

of which it should, under the law, sus-
tain. The company has deliberately re-
pudiated responsibility in the matter
and has refused TO accept business
from people that declined to pay what
the law declared the company should
undertake.
In several parts of the State shippers
refused to pay the war tax, and Wells,
Fargo & Co. declined to accept the
packages that were offered for delivery.
After a great deal of discussion the
controversy was brought into the
courts to determine whether Wells,
Fargo & Co. or the public should bear
directly the burden imposed by the
national Government. The suit was
instituted in the Federal courts and
after a great deal of needless delay was
transferred to the State courts, where
it properly belongs.
The responsibility of determining the
issue rests upon the shoulders of At
torney General TREY L. Ford. For
some reason that the Attorney General
probab bly, understands the suit has been
permitted to drag along without a con-
clusion. No effort has been made to
force the important question to an
thoroughly Interested in the matter
that he does not even know in which
department of the Superior Court the
case is to be tried. He is convinced,
however or at least he says he is, that
when the case is tried the court will
decide that Wells, Fargo & Co. and not
the public must bear the burden of the
tax imposed by the Federal Govern
ment.
The case will be heard on the 18th OF
this month and the court will then de-
eide whether or not Wells, Fargo & Co.
must bear the tax. Since the contro>
versy began this corporation has shown
the most fragrant discrimination In
favor of certain of its patrons and
against certain others. While the COM
pany has exacted the revenue tariff
from some of it's patrons 1t has released
others from all payment. This is prob
ably a discrimination which subjects
Wells, Fargo & Co., under the law, to
q forfeiture of it's charter to transact
business within the jurisdiction of the
State. It is a matter of general knowl-
edge that the company does not in GER
tain instances demand the revenue
tariff
This fact can be proved without diff
Guilty, but the Attorney General does
not want to know it and says he can
not see how he can institute suit to
force the company to be just to the
public or forfeit the charter which it
has no right to enjoy. The Attorney
General promises, however, to prose-
cute vigorously the suit which has al
ready been instituted

OTTO TUM SUDEN'S DISCOVERY.
Declares the Board of Health Has No
Authority to Operate Receiv-
ing HOSPITAL

A long communication from Attorney
Otto tum SUDDEN was filed with the clerk
of the Board of Supervisors yesterday
calling the attention of the board to the
alleged fact that the Board of Health has
no authority under the law to operate and
maintain the City Receiving Hospital. The
writer declares tat the only semblance
of such authority is contained in that sec
ton of the statutes that gives the Board of
Health the right to appoint police sur
geon, whose duty it shall be to make all
autopsies required by the Coroner" In
conclusion Mr. tum SUDDEN urges the
Board of Supervisors to take the manage
ment of the hospital into it's own hands.
The attention of DR.. Lawlor was called
to the communication and he was asked
what he thought of it. He said:
I'VE have never claimed any authority
to operate the city Receiving Hospital.
but we do claim the right to order it
closed as was done, because of its unsan-
itary condition. This whole building ought
to be closed for that matter. The sewer
age here is a disgrace to civilization
Supervisor Perrault declined to discuss
the subject at length. simply saying that
if the Board of Health had usurped any
authority in connection with the operation
of the Receiving Hospital the usurpation
was very sensible and convenient, and
probably would not be interfered with by
the Board of Supervisors.

The Manufacturers and Wholesaler
League of San Francisco has recently
started out to make bid for much of the
country trade which in the past has been

local business men have been watching
the trade of the coast slip out of their
hands while the persistent drummer Of
Eastern houses has been laughing in his
sleeve as he pocketed the profits which
should have been kept on the coast. Last
year the Manufacturers and Producers
Association adopted a system in vogue in
the East Of standing a part of the cost of
transportation of the country dealers who
would come to this city and make their
purchases here. 1t was a success, but not
enough of a success to suit.
In order to make the system more far
