Concerning Oranges.

An eminent Japanese bacteriologist
has shown that the acids of lemons,
apples and other fruits-citric acid,
malic acid-are capable of destroying
all kinds of disease germs. Cholera
germs are killed in fifteen minutes by
lemon juice or apple juice, and typhoid
fever germs are killed in half an hour
by these acids, even when c0nsidera'
bly, diluted. If you squeeze a lemon
into glass of water containing cholera
germs and let it stand fifteen or twen-
ty minutes you may drink the water
with impunity. as the germs will be
dead. These juices will kill other dis
ease germs. Instead of telling man
to have his stomach washed out we
can now tell him to drink ORANG juice
which will cleanse the stomach as
thoroughly as stomach tube, provid-
ed it be not case of gastric catarrh.
If we have to deal with gastric catarrh
in which there Is large amount OF
tenacious mucus adhering to the walls
of the stomach, a stomach tube to dis
lodge it is required, but in ordinary
cases of biliOusness, foul tongue. bad
breath, sick heada che and nervous
headache, fruit diet is a wonderful
purifier.

before the state corporation commis

on account of their refusal and failure
TO place mlledge books on sale, as pre-
scribed by the Churchman act. which
went into effect June 13.

sion to proceed under act 146 of the
constitution of Virginia, aud under
clause 10 of section 13l3A of the coue

The commission is clothed with pow
er to impose fine of $500 upon each
and every load for every daV of failui Q
to comply with the law, and will, it is
understood, take the case into serious
consideration.
Not only have the several roads re-
fused to place the mileage books on
8 ale, but have jointly retained the Ser.
vices of Attorney William B. McIlwaine
of Petersburg, to fight the action of
the corporation commission and to
take the case to the highest court if
necessary.
1t is claimed by the roads that the
act Is invalid upon two
grounds: First, because the state cor
poration commission has the exclusive |
right to fix railroad rates in Virgin |
ia; second, that the act is in violation
Of the fourteenth amendment of the |
of the United States, inas-
much as 1t allows special privileges to
those who buy tickets in books, or in
wholesale quantities.
For the present, the suit will be dl.
rected mainly against one of the roads,
but all will eventually come in for their
'hare of the fight.
The case has double interest from the
act that in it the roads claim that the
commission has the exclusive right to
make rates, while in the freight rate

commission the roads assert that in
making rates that body. overstepped
