Emulsion of cod-liver oil than
to anything that you can take;
and if persistently used a few
days, will break up the cold.
When you awake in the

Emulsion, and you will get
immediate relief, where no
cough medicine will give you
relief. 1t has a soothing and
healing effect upon the throat

ATLANTA NOT COMING.

Atlanta will not be represented at the
Travellers Protective Association con-
vention in Savannah this year. This
was finally and unanimously determin-
ed during the meeting of post b, the
Atlanta organization, Saturday. The
meeting was presided over by the pres
ident of post B. Edward o. Miles. and
it was first addressed by ]. S. Loven-
stein of Savannah, who unofficially re-
quested the Atlanta men to attend the
convention. assuring them a royal well
come in the coast city. Resolutions
that had been adopted by post a, the
Savannah organization. in which the
Atlanta post was urged to reconsider
the determination of a week ago, were
read. Members of post B fully dis
cussed the matter. In courtesy to post
A the motion not to send delegates to
the Savannah convention was recon-
sidered, and after a debate motion
to decline to send delegates was adopt
ed. Members of the post brought out
plainly the fact that there is no feeling
against Savannah in the matter, 1t is
because of the treatment of the At
lanta men by delegates from all other
portions of the state during past con-
ventions that they now decline to send
delegates. f. F. Morgan. E. A Har-
din and r. N Pickett, Jr., were APP
pointed to draft a reply to the SaVan-

In Case of the Missouri Pacific VS..
the United states.


Washington, March 9.-The United
States Supreme Court to-day rendered
its first opinion in an interstate com
merce case in which the Elkins act,
passed at the last session of Congress,
was dealt with.
The case was that of the Missouri
Pacific Railroad Company versus the
United States, involving a question
of discrimination on the part of the
railroad company as between places.
1t was brought at the instance of the
Interstate Commerce Commission, but
without any previous proceedings on
the part of the commission. The rail-
road company filed a demurrer to The
bill. challenging the regularity of the
proceeding, but the Circuit Court and
the Circuit Court of Appeals for the
Eighth circuit held the proceeding to
be regular, and decided the case in
favor of the contention of the United
States.
These decisions were reversed by to-
days opinion, which was delivered by
Justice White. He said that by the
terms of the old law, under which the
case was tried, the proceeding would
not have been regular, but that under
the Elkns law it would be. The court,
therefore, reversed and sent the case
back for a new trial under the Elkins
act.
Justices Harlan and Brewer dis
scented.
