Chicago. Sept. 16.-Judge Thomas c. Winder, in the circuit court sat nrday decided in favor of the city of Chicago in the injunction suit based on the Mueller law which provides for the issuance of $75,000,G00 worth of railway certificates by the chy
 The law was declared constitution al by the court. who also held that subsequent ordinances regarding the purchase and operation of the street railways, passed by the city, are In compliance with the law.
 The decision is a complete victory for the city, the court holding against every point advanced by the com- plainants in their bill which was dis- missed for want of equity
 The court pointed out that it was the evident purpose of the legisla- ture and of the Chicago city council, In the laws and ordinances passed by those bodies to give the city the right to municipalize the street rail- ways. Regarding the alleged uncon- stitutionality of the Mueller law, the court declared that while there may be in some points doubt as to the intent of the legislature, he believed the doubt should favor what appeared to be the intention of the legislature in enacting the measure.
 The attorneys for the city were 1u- bilant because of the decision, claim ing that the court had upheld their contentious in every respect The case will now be appealed to the state supreme court which will take 1t un- der advisement next month.
 The attack upon the constitution ality of the Mueller law was made by certain tax payers who desired to restrain the city authorities from ex- ecuting any mortgage. trust deed, or street railway certificates. the money from which was to be used for the purchase of the street railways of the city. The court was asked to declare void certain city ordinances which declared that the city should issue the certificates in amount not exceed ing 75,0000 900 and proceed to purchase and operate the street railways.
 It was also asked of the court that it pass upon the constitutionality of the law itself The city filed de- murrer to the bill of the complain ants and the decision of Judge Winder not only upheld the constitutionality of the law but declared that ordi- nances passed by the city are right and proper and then dismissed for want of equity the bill of the com plainants

It Takes Nerve

Everything depends upon your nerves. It is nerve force that causes the brain to direct the motion of your body; it is nerve force that causes your heart to pulsate, and send the blood through your veins; it is nerve force that causes your stomach to digest food, your kidneys to filter the blood, and the liver to secrete bile.
 In fact, nerve force is the power that runs your body, so if you feel worn-out, irritable, nervous, cannot sleep, or eat well, have pain or misery anywhere, your nerves are weak, and your system rum down. To restore this vitality take Dr. Miles Nervine which will strengthen and build up the nerves. You cannot be healthy without strong nerves.
 For eighteen years Dr. Niles Nervine and Anti-Pain Pills have been my close companions Early in mar ried life, while raising children. my nerves became all worn -out--could not sleep; had no appetite; indigestion very bad. and had such awful dizzy spells Then l began using Dr. Miles NerVine. and at once I began to i'm prove, and soon found myself in perfect health"
