The relation of the nerves and gem
erative organs in woman is so close
that nine-tenths of the nervous pros
tration, nervous debility, the blues,
sleeplessness and nervous irritability
arise from some arrangement of the
organism which makes her a woman.
Fits of depression or restlessness and
irritability spirits easily affected. so
that one minute she laughs, the next
minute weeps pain in the abdominal

SOLICITORS IN LIMBO.
Arrested Under Peddlers License act
at kiron

H. M. Chase of Portsmouth, Ia.
and X. F. Crandall Of st. Paul. Neb.,
two men who have lately been going
about in the country near Kiron. so
liciting grocery orders for the MutuIl
Supply Co. Of Omaha. Nebr, were ar
rested Tuesday and taken before
Justice of the Peace G. A. Norelius
for soliciting orders without q license.
The County Attorneys attention was
called to the case and on investiga-
tion he found very recent decision
of the Iowa Supreme Court. the case
of the State Of Iowa vs. Bristow, a
case arising in Plymouth county.
wherein it was held that the law en-
acted by the Thirtieth General As.
sembly was unconstitutional and void.
After discovering this recent decision
Mr.. Klinker Immediately ordered the
dismissal of the case and the release
Of the defendants.
The defendants were arrested un-
der the peddlers license act which
makes it an offense to peddle with
out license. This act was amend
ed by the thirtieth general assembly
to include solicitors who take orders
from samples for present or future
delivery. On October 19, 1906 our
supreme court handed down the deci-
sion in the above case of State vs.
Bristow which was similar case to
that of the one at Kiron. It was
held that the act as amended simply
covered peddlers such as transient
merchants and itinerant vendors SELL
+ ing by sample or otherwise. De-
fendant was held not to be transient
merchant but was simply an agent or
salesman. soliciting agent or COM.
mercial traveller who took orders for
goods.
The subject expressed in the title
is simply that Of peddlers and our
constitution Art. 8 Sec. % provides
that the subject of an act must be
expressed in tho title. Consequently
if the Thirteenth General Assembly
had passed a separate statute entitl-
ed soliciting agents and fixed tax for
|such agents, the statute would have
been good and would have covered
4 agents of this class, at least that is
! what is set out in the opinion of the
recent decision.
4 Merchants who are interested in
this matter should see to it that our
next legislature pass such bill as to
cover all soliciting agents.
