APPETITE'S GONE.

Food eaten without appetite always
causes gastric disturbances, because un-
less the glands of the stomach are slim
ulated by desire for food no digestive
juices are formed. Consequently the
food is wasted and clogs up the bowels.
For Loss of appetite and Constipation
there is nothing to equal the Bitters,
Try a dose before meals. 1t also cures
Dyspepsia. Indigestion. Insomnia and
Malaria, Fever and Ague.

PEOPLE HAVE SOME RleHTe.
Court of Appeals Renders Decision in
Case of Collision

court or Appeals RenderS Decision IN
Case of Collision.
st. louis, March 11.-kn the United
States court Of appeals an opinion
handed down by Judge Thayes defines
the rights and privileges of ,pedes-
crians and vehicles upon street rail-
way tracks and the duties cf,motcr-
men in running their cars.
The plaintiff in the case, whose vc-
hicle had been wrecked and the oecu-
pants injured, set forth that the motor
man was guilty OF negligence, and
the defense set UP the claim that the
plaintiff was guilty of contributory
negligence. This was the main ques-
ton at issue in the appeal Judge
Thayer held that motorman is un-
der the same obligations to exercise
ordinary care and prudence SO as to
avoid collisions and the inju!ing of
persons as these persons are to exer
else care not to get in the way of
street cars so as to be run over and
injured. He says pedestrians and We
hicles have right to cross the tracks
of street railways at any point be-
sides the regular crossings, and to
use the tracks for any distance for a
matter OF safety or convenience,
where they do not unnecessarily in
terfere with or obstruct the passage
of the cars. A motorman. he says,
has no right to act on the assump-
ton that he is entitled to clear track
at all times and that pedestrians or
vehicles are bound at their peril, no
matter at what inconvenience, to get
out OF the way. He held that the
plaintiff in this case had a right to
use the street railway tracks, as a
convenience, in avoiding the mudhoie
in the street, and that the motorman
was guilty of negligence in not taking
proper precautions to reduce the speed
of his car.
