Cuban DImrrhoea

u. s. soldiers who served In Cuba
during the Spanish war know what
this disease is and that ordinary rem
edies have little more effect than so
much water. Cuban diarrhoea is
almost as severe and dangerous as a
mild attack OF cholera. There Is one
remedy, however, that can always be
depended upon. as Will be seen by the
Following certificate from Mrs Minrie

The Franchise Tax Decision.

In deciding that the New York state
franchise tax law is constitutional the
United States Supreme Court has
strengthened the hands OF all who believe
that the American municipalities are the
victims of unjust system and who
have been working for years in conse-
quence to effect a reform in the interest
of more equitable method of taxation
The enactment of the New York law was
the distinct achievement of Theodore
Roosevelt, then governor of the state, who
took high ground on the subject pressed
his recommends lions for the passa ee of
the statute. and when one had been
framed and passed which did not meet the
case returned II with urgent demands for
a substitute. which was finally laid be-
fore him for signature. Then followed
a determined fight in court for its destruc
ton by the interests chiefly affected,
which has just concluded with the decis-
ion announced yesterday.
The issue involved in the great test
case carried to the Supreme Court was
whether the state can constitutionally as
sess for taxation the value to the holder
of franchise held by virtue of public
grant, constituting the right. more or less
exclusive. according to the nature of the
case. to supply the people with transpor-
tation, Illumination. power and. in some
