ONE RESULT OF LEGISLATION

Tn erailroad rate bill, so-called,
is destined, apparently, to bear
more than one variety of fruit.
Negroes are demanding of the In
terstate Commerce Commission to
decide whether under the Hep
burn law negroes holding inter
state tickets have a right to ride
in cars with white passengers. The
Commission announces that it can
render no decision until specific
case is brought before 1t. There
is no doubt that such a case will
be brought.
The Washington correspondents
say that competent lawyers who
have studied the law are clearly
of opinion that under its provls-
ion negroes will have a legal right
to sleep in sleeping cars, ride in
parlor cars and eat in dining cars,
the same as white people.
The Commission may also de.
eide that they have a right to ride
in the ordinary coaches on the

passengers. There are very many
negroes who would take advant-
age of this right. and the number

What will the white people do
about 1t? Federal laws are not de
fed with IMMUNITY.
When the Hepburn bill first
came up for discussion this ques-
ton was raised, but Southern Con-
greSsmen were so enthused over
President Rooseyelt'S great reform
measure they lost sight of the ques-
ton or felt that it was not involv-
ed in the bill as passed. Those
who are enamOred of Federal con-
troll of nearly everything should
remember that the Federal Gov

Of all the diseases known, with
which women are afflicted, chronic
kidney disease is the most fatal. In
fact, unless early and correct treatment
is applied, the weary patient seldom
survives.
Being fully aware of this, Lydia
e. Pinlham, early in her career, gave
exhaustive study TO the subject, and in
producing her great remedy for
woman's ills - Lydia E. PinkhamS
Vegetable Compound-was careful to
see that it contained the correct combi-
nation of herbs which was sure to con-
troll that fatal disease, woman's kidney
troubles. Lydia e. Pinkham's Vege-
table Compound is the only one espe-
cially prepared for women, and thou
sands have been cured of serious kidney
arrangements by it. arrangements of
the feminine organs quickly affect the
kidneys, and when a woman has such
symptoms as pain or weight in the
lOins, backache, bearing-down pains,
scalding or burning sensations or de-
posts in the urine, unusual thirst,
swelling of hands and feet, swelling
under the eyes or sharp pains in the
back, running through the groin, she
may infer that her kidneys are affected
and should lose no time in combating
the disease with Lydia E. Pinlxham's
Vegetable Compound, the woman's
remedy for woman's ills.
The following letters show how
marvelously successful it is
