PLAINTIFF GETS DECISION.
Judge Ferguson Decides In Beer
License Case.

Judge Charles w. Ferguson of the city
court of Birmingham has decided for
the plaintiff for the sum of $500 in the
case Of Erdreich Brothers & Marx VS.. A.
A. Gambill. The payment of $500 as license
for selling beer was the cause OF the
suit, the plaintiff contending that the
payment of a license to sell malt liquors
included the privilege to sell beer. The
court held that the payment would be
equivalent to charging two licenses. The
case may be appealed to the supreme
court.

cure to citizens of the United States
these inquiries arise: Is the right or
privilege granted In terms by any provis-
ion of the constitution? or Is it implied
by necessary implications or Is its exer-
else necessary in the performance OF any
of the duties which the constitution and
laws of the United States exact from Its
citizens? Is its protection by federal au-
thority needfu to the just supremacy of
the general government over any matter
committed to it. or conservative or pro-
motive of any of the ends for which tho
constitution ordained the government of
the United States?
IF the right or privilege claimed does
not permit an affirmative answer to any
of these inquiries, II is clear the right Is
not derived from or dependent on the
constitution and its protection is not
committed to the general government"
Powers Of Congress Considered.
The opinion then sets forth and analyses
| the powers conferred upon congress by
the constitution concerning those rights,
and declares:
THE right or privilege here involved

not granted in terms to any citizen of
the United States. and its exercise is not
necessary to the enjoyment OF any right
or privilege which the constitution does
specify and confer.
If" says the opinion, "'as contended
by the government, congress has powers
to punish conspiracies to prevent the ex-
ercise Of rights like that here involved
acts having the same end in view. II
could invade the whole domain OF the
municipal codes of the states and punish
every act Of lawless violence directed

VALUE OF INTERVIEWED
FRUIT JUICES AS FOOD.

Pure fruit Juices used as beverages in
the home instead of so much tea and
coffee would be an innovation which
would bring health and vigor to many
a weary one, for, while tea and cof1ee
appear to agree with many people.
there are others who cannot indulge IN
these drinks without experiencing
! harmful results in the way OF nervous
ness or other ailments. Fruit juices, on
the other hand, contain a large percent
age Of actual nutriment and the eie-
ments which supply heat and energy TO
the human body in a natural manner.
In fruits the rays OF the sun have taken
the place Of the cook and in the rfpen-
ing process have prepared the food for
ready consumption. The fruit juices
pass quickly into the circulation with.
out strain on the digestive organs. and
in these juices are the fruit sugars
which supply so much energy to both
mind and body. Professor Mosso. an
Italian experimenter, found by careful
examination that sugar, if taken in not
too great quantities and not too con-
centrated, lessons or delays fatigue and
increases working power. A recent
writer upon this subject says, however,
that "it should be borne in mind that
sugar as we find 1t in its natural state
in the various fruits, in the sugar cane
and in some succulent plants where 1t
is organized by nature during the proc
ess Of growth and intimately associated
with other nourishing ingredients, is
far better adapted for nutrition than
the crystallized sugar of commerce,
which is a chemically isolated food
principle and never apt to supply the
needs of the body fully. The reason for
the Injurious effect Of manufactured
sugar is that it is not a complete food,
but is deficient in those mineral salts
which are necessary for the building up
of the nerves, tissues and bones. The
Juice of the sweet fruits is wholesome,
nourishing and life giving fluid, and no
artificial concoction can compare with
it, for fruit juices contain albumtnous
matter to nourish the brain, muscles
and nerves, sugar to warm the body
and organic salts for the tendOnS and
bones. Fruit juices especially consti-
tute an excellent nerve and brain food
and should therefore be regularly TAX
en- by all who earn their living by their
clear headedness." It should be re-
membered, however. that these fruit
juices must be pure and unfermented
| if they are to do their good work. for It
has been proved by chemical analysis
that the nourishing elements OF the
sweet fruits are consumed by fermenta-
! ton and that, while fermented juices
will stimulate. they will not nourfsh the
| body.

Son OF Former Great Chancellor
of the German Empire
Passes Away Sunday
GOOD PARLIAMENTARY SPEAKER
Prince Bismarck's Delivery Improved
Year by Year, But He Steadfastly
Refused to Join Any Political Group,
Maintaining an Independent Atti-
tude-Details of His Life.

FREDERICKSBURG, Sept. 10. - Prince
painless.
Since he ceased to be foreign min
lister on the retirement of his father
In 1890, Prince Herbert Bismarck had
taken part in public affairs only as q
member of the reichstag. His attitude
had been that of a man not appreciate
ed by his sovereign, and who was
waiting in the background for an OPP
portunity to resume his career.
His delivery as a parliamentary
speaker improved year by year. He
always declined to join any political
group, steadfastly calling himself an
independent. His naughty and imper>
ious manners in early life, when he
was ever conscious of the fact that he
was the son of the most powerful
statesman in Europe, softened in later
life.
Prince Bismarck's father trained him
for his successor as chancellor of this
German empire, and advanced him
rapidly in the diplomatic service untls
at the age of 40 he was minister OF
foreign affairs, in which position he
took part in nearly every important
International transaction.
An incident that nearly wrecked
Prince Herbert's career and thai
caused the old chancellor great annoy-
ance was Prince then count) Her
berts elopement with Princess Caro-
80 DrtY L oyS
the head Of distinguished Sflesian
house. The princess was one Of the
hatfield family, and young Bismarck
at the time was his fathers private
secretary Count Herbert lived with
the princess in southern Italy for a few
weeks and then, at the command Of his
father, returned to Germany. The
princess afterwards was divorced and
has since died.
The title of Prince Bismarck, and
the large fortune of the decedent will
go to his son Otto, z years old.
The late Emperor Frederick gave to
Chancellor Bismarck extensive forests
at Friedrichsruhe which have since In
creased in value and the chancellor
gave to Prince Herbert $2,4O0,000 in
securities and cash. The estate is now
estimated to be worth 100000, ex-
elusive of the land.
Prince Bismarck was born in 1S49,
was the oldest son of the late Prince
Otto Bismarck, the great chancellor Of
the German empire. He studied law
in the Berlin and Bonn universities,
served in the Prussian army as a lieu
tenant of reserves during the Franco
pr,,cciear war of 12T0-T1 and was Se-
verely wounded at the battle Of Mars

atty of "sassiety" and the summer ho-
tel piazza! Think of the freedom of
lying out like a lizard on the upper
deck in the sun, wearing the same old
clothes day after day and never having
ones vision interrupted by the unsym-
pathetic cackle of womankind!
l know a very rich young man who
did this once. Instead of going off on
friends yacht with a lot of conven-
tional men and women, not to speak of
matchmaking mammas, he actually en-
gagged passage as a common sailor on a
fishing schooner, and, being a fine, ath-
letic, college youth with a taste for adj
venture, he had the time of his life.
Another thing while am on the va
cation subject. Why should pure air
be rated so high above other things
peace of mind, good food and comfort
of body, for instance? Now that the
vacation" season is almost over
can't help feeling that I would have
had a more restful time Of it had
defied popular opinion and stayed in
town. would have had my own good
home cooking, l might have worn my
old clothes in comfort, and I certainly
would have had no worry because OF
preparations and packing. I think next
year l shall try the vacation that means
peace of mind for a change.

The orientals claim that the bridal
veil is a survival of the eastern canopy
held over the pair on their way to
church. This practice still survives in
oriental countries. The veil typifies ex-
elusive possession by one man.
In the days of the primitive Britons
the bride wore no veil, but Ter album
dant locks fell about her shoulders
Even as late as the reign of Henry VII
brides wore their hair in this simple
fashion. The silken locks of Anne
Boleyn floated about her on the day OF
her ill starred nuptials with the king OF
many wives.
