Journalism in Russia.

Running newspaper in Russia

The Cars government spends
more on the press censorship than

sia. Last year eighty-three news

amounting in all to thirty-one years
and ten days, twenty-six papers

'orship even pursues the unfortu-

condemned to starve or emigrate.
All the papers and publishers in
Russia are forbidden to accept

CURED BY CUTICURA
Had Given up All Hope of Ever
 Making Any Cure.

"My little girl has been suffering for two years or more from eczema, and during that time I could not get a nights sleep, as her silment was very severe.
 "I had tried so many remedies and spent much money, deriving no bene- it, had absolutely given up all hope of making any cure. But AS last re- sort was persuaded to try set of the Cuticura remedies, and to my great delight a marked change was mani fested from the first application. 1 gave the child a bath with Cutlcura Soap, using a soft piece of muslin cloth. This l did twice day, each time fol- lowing with the Cuticura Ointment, and at the same time gave the Resol- vent, according to directions. One box of the Ointment and two bottles of the Resolyent, together with the Soap, effected a permanent cure. l submit this for publication if you desire, hop ing 1t will add to your success and assist so many thousands of sufferers In cur ing themselves" MRS. I. B. JONES, ADDINGToN, IND. T.
 The first step in the treatment of the chronic forms is to remove the scales and crusts and soften the skin, by warm baths with Cuticura Soap. The scalp, ears, elbows, hands, ankles and feet win require frequently thorough soaking in order to penetrate the thick ened skin and crusts with which these parts are often covered. Dry care fully, and apply Cuticura Ointment, lightly at first and where advisable spread it on pieces of soft cloth and bind in place. Take the Resolvent. pills, or liquid. in medium doses. Do not use cold water in bathing, and avoid cold, raw winds.

 in that it did not give sufficient advertise ment or notice of the bill before 1t was introduced. They also claimed that the bill was clearly local bill. Attorneys for the defense argued that inasmuch as the bill was for the administration of justice that 1t was a general bill.
 The supreme court agreed with the pe- titioners In the case and decided that the bill was local measure and had not been sufficiently advertised as provided for in the new constitution in Alabama
 The news of the decision was conveyed to many lawyers of Birmingham last night, and there was a general expression of surprise and interest. It seems't to be the general opinion of local lawyers that it is fortunate that the decision was made at this time, as 1t prevents possible complications in the future They believe that if the bill is unconstitutional 1t is better that it should be known before the judges are seated and begin the hear ing of cases. According to these attor- neys, 1t means that local legislation in Alabama will be restricted according to the spirit of the new constitution
 John London Pleased.
 John London. who brought the suit, and who did it not through enmity to the proposed law, but In friendly spirit, to test the law, felt very much pleased when told of the decision. He believed from the first that the bill was unconstitutIon- al, and his opinion had been sustained by the supreme court.
 The main effect of the bill" said MT. London, "of course is that the present law will not be changed. It further means that the expenditure of fitting out court that does not exist will be un- necessary. It means the saving to the taxpayers of the county of about p,5Oo.
 Under the consolidated court hw," confused Mir London. "the method of ap- propriating money for the pay of the sey- eral judges was different from the present law. Under the present law the two crim- inal court judges are paid by the county except that the state pays $500 additional. The circuit judge and the chancellor are paid by the state. Under the proposed law the state was called upon to pay more than under the present law"
 MT. London then went into a lengthy ex- planation of the faulty points m tho con solidated court bill the substance of which is given above.
