Deal to Put Down This Evil.

Deal to Put Down This Evil.
Minneapolis, Mimi, Dec. 3, 1907
(Special)-When the Independent Or
der of Good Templars of Minnesota
wanted a State Organizer. they chose
Mrs. Laura J. Smith of 1911 West 33d

Treat League also selected Mrs. Smith
as National Organizer. The reason is
not far to seek. This gifted woman
has devoted her life to battle against
Drink and Drinking Habits. Her inhu
ence for good in Minnesota is and has
been very far reaching.
About two years ago, however, it
seemed as if this noble woman would
have to give up her philanthropic
work. Severe pains in her back and
under her shoulder blades, made life a
burden and work impossible. Physi-
clans were consulted and they pre-
scribed for Kidney Disease. Three
months treatment, however, failed to
give Mrs. Smith any relief. Her hus-
band was much exercised. and cast
about him for something that would
restore his good wife to health and
strength. He heard Of the cures eff
fected by Dodds Kidney Pills, and adj
vised her to try them, which she did.
She is now a well woman and says:
1.-TWO weeks after l commenced TAX
ing Dodd's Kidney Pills / felt much
better, and at the end Of seven weeks
was completely cured. have had no
recurrence of the trouble, but l take
pill off and on;~and find that it keeps
me in good health"
Dodd's Kidney Pills are for sale by
all dealers at SO cents a box.
They are easily within the reach of
all, and no woman can afford to suffer,
when such simple and sure Remedy
is at hand

our working world very large. Many OF
are hard workers Our laboring classes
are found in herds and hordes in the
"hives of industry" What is all this work
for? In most cases it is for daily bread,
in many for maintenance of others. Great
numbers also work to- acquire wealth.
Some for great commercial prominence
Some to preserve intact a splendid inher1-
lance. Necessity, generosity and ambition
are the inspiration of all classes OF indus-
try, and the object of every one falls to the
ground when ill-health attacks him.
Maintaining health is the most vital
thing in the world for workers OF every
class, and the usefulness of DR.. Greene's
Nervura blood and nerve remedy, as a
strengthened of the constitutional and
vital powers, is beyond all question. This
great remedy enters into partnership
with Nature and helps human beings do
their work without giving up to prema-
ture decay. The strain of work is on the
minds of some, on the bodies of others,
but the nourishing of either, or both, is
in the nerves and blood. Nervura acts
directly on the fountains of health and e
it's strengthening power is wonderful.

HAMS CASE.
Deputy SherIffs Long Drawn
Out Litigation Again Be-
fore the Court.

Chief Justice stiness today said II the
statutes did not give the defendant in
the case remedy without going into
equity. the statutes we're at fault
The case was that of Franklin b. Ham
VS.. Herbert ID. Mathewson. and IL has
been In the courts about two years.
Mr. Ham occupied a tenement owned
by the defendant and for some reason
the landlord. thought another tenant
would be more agreeable.
Mr.. Ham would not leave. so an action
of trespass and ejectment was begun
against him.
In the district court Mr.. Ham raised
a constitutional question, and this, ac-
cording TO the law, brought the case up
to the appellate division of the supreme
court.
The constitutional question raised was
as to whether/ the provision In \the sta
tute requiring a bond to pay rent due and
that might become due pending deter
mination, as prerequisite for jury trial.
was not limitation OF the right TO
jury trial. which is expressly forbidden
by our constitution.
The appellate court decided against
Mr.. Hams question and the case went
back TO the district court.
Mr.. Ham had some time before paid SIS
rent to Mr. Mathewson and the accept
ance OF this rent, Il is claimed, was
waiver OF the trespass and ejectment
suit.
Now the constitutional question being
raised the court of appeal only consid-
cred that and relief I'm equity was sought
because IL Is claimed that In no other
way than by an enjoining OF proceedings
under an execution, could the complain
ant take advantage OF the waiver that he
is Justly entitled to take
The defendant claimed that at any
time during the last two years MIR. Ham
might have taken advantage OF the
waiver and that he has slept on his
rights
Mr.. Ham replied that he was prevented
from having a jury trial. though he en-
deavored to file claim for the same
but was informed he could not take
such an appeal owing TO the constitutional
question raised.
Chief Justice Stiness thought there
was remedy under the statute. and that
the district court should have retired the
case or at least granted an appeal TO the
common pleas division, so Mr. Ham
might take advantage OF his waiver
His honor, though, held the case for ad-
visement.

counsel for complainant and n. w. Bur-
