Unless early and correct treatment is
applied the patient seldom survives
when once the disease is fastened upon
her. We believe Lydia e. Pinkhams
Vegetable Compound is the most eff
cient treatment for chronic kidney
trout 1es of women, and is the only med
icine especially prepared for this
purpose.
When a woman is troubled with pain
or weight in loins. backache, frequent,
painful or scalding urination. swelling
of limbs or feet, swelling under the
eyes, an uneasy, tired feeling in the
region of the kidneys or notices a
sediment in the urine, she should
lose no time in commencing treatment
with Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable
Compound, as it may be the means of
saving her life.

Sleeve sg-rters to keep the short
sleeves down and the long gloves up,
are the latest fad among Topeka girls.
The men one sees about in shirt sleeves
have worn such things, or things that
answered a similar purpose bue they did
not at all resemble the dainty little
tricks the girls get up. A high school
girl originated the idea. She had an
exquisite pair of pink carriers with solid
buckles that were far too good to be
worn as carriers usually are, where no
one c. see them, so she adds to them
nifty bows of tulle or ribbon and wears
them on her arm where they answer
very useful purpose and are highly or
namental as well. Now all the girls are

ed garter buckles and making them

Philadelphia, Pa, Jan. 5.-An import
ant decision in favor of shippers engaged
in the importation of sugar from Ger
many and other foreign countries was
yesterday handed down by the United
States Circuit Court of Appeals in the
matter Of counteryailing duties Judge
GRAY in a lengthy opinion reyerses the
lower court. which had sustained Collcc-
tor OF the Port Thomas in assessing
countervailnq duties on the invoice
weshtz f9tbfgy glR1 IN the Aapafd
weights. The decision just handed down
rules that duties should be levied ON the
weights actually received In this coun.
try The case involves more than ST.
100000 In refunds and was instituted as
a test case.
The suit was brought by the Franklin
Sugar Refining Co. several years ago.
The concern imported a quantity of
sugar from Germany, arriving ON the
steamship Pilgrim in February, 1899.
According 20 the invoice, the net weight
of the sugar was 053G.3ls pounds. while
the amount landed here was 1901 1906
pounds. a difference of 23iN52 pounds.
The landed weight was returned by the
United States weighcr The regular duty
was assessed at the rates provided by
law, according 10 the polarscopic test
and in the computation of these duties
the landed weight of the sugar as re-
turned hy the official wecher was taken.
No controversy arose over the action.
Under the revenue act Of 1897, an addi-
tional duty is levied on importations
upon which bounty had been paid by a
foreign country, and In assessing that
duty on the shipment of sugar the total
weight given in the invoice was taken,
and the Franklin Co. was Obliged 10 pay
'diaploe the 23i952 pounds they had de-
INJURED
The case was taken before the Board
of General Appraisers for Revenue and a
decision was rendered In favor of the COLI
lector of the port. An appeal was taken
to the United States Circuit Court, and
Judge Holland in deciding the case up
held the Board of Appraisers.
Judge Gray in reversing the decision
says in part.
"We cannot agree with the conclusion
arrived al by the majority OF the Board
Of Appraisers, and by the learned Judge
below No difficulty Of Interpretation
| presents itself to a careful reading of the
| ACT OF AoNt. by It's Pitlh ltNNua-'i AN
additional duty TO the regular duty Is
imposed upon the importation Of such
sugar from any country paying q bounty
upon the expectation thereof equal 10 the
net amount of such bounty OF grant.
1T seems to us very clear that the net
amount Of such bounty must mean that
which was paid or payable upon the
sugar actually imported, the expires.
terms Of the act being that said add
tional duty is only leviable upon the i'm.
portation of any such article or merchan.
