Is Disease a Crime

Not very long ago, a popular magazine
published an editorial article In which
the writer asserted, in substance, that all
disease should be regarded as criminal.
Certain il Is, that much OF the sickness
and suffering of mankind Is due to the
violation OF certain OF Natures laws.
But to say bhgt all sickness should be
regarded as criminal, must appeal to
every reasonable individual as radically
wrong.
1t would be harsh, unsympathetic,
cruel, yes criminal TO condemn the poor,
weak, over-worked housewife who sinks
under the heavy load of household cares
and burdens, and suffers from weak

organs and other arrangements peculiar
TO her sex.

acting demands upon the system. coupled

Tobacco and Paper Men Must
Appear and Testify
SUPREME COURT DECISION
Government Proceedings Under the Sher-
man Anti. Trust Law Sustained in
Cases of the American To-
bacco Co. and Paper Trist.

Washington, March 13.--The Supreme
court yesterday in effect held that the
officers OF the American Tobacco com
pany were in contempt Of court for re-
fusing to produce the books of that
corporation before the grand Jury at
New York and to give testimony in pro-
ceedings under the Sherman antitrust
law. The court, held, however, that the
subpoena duces tecum issued by the
court to bring before it the books of
the corporation was too broad in its
terms and ordered it modified.
The court also dismissed for want of
jurisdiction the appeals of the officers
OF the so-ealled paper trust fromorders
of the circuit court for the eastern dis
trict OF Wisconsin, that they testify in
proceedings under the Sherman anti
trust law. The court held that the or.
ders were not appealable, and the ap-
peals were ordered dismissed
The opinion in the paper trust ease
was delivered by Justice McKenna and
was unanimous, although some Of the
questions involved We're decided by the
opinion in the tobacco trust cases, in
which there was a division of opinion
as TO the power Of the federal gov
eminent to inquire into the affairs Of
corporations.
The dissenting opinion in which Cheif
Justice Fuller eoncmred, was delivered
by Justice Brewer, who thought the
majority Of the court went too far in
that direction Justice MeiIenna also
dissented in some minor points, and jus
tice Harlan wrote a eoncmring opinion.

The princess style, which is having

the wedding gown. Most dressmakers
seem to forget the important fact that
the bride, the cynosure of all eyes,
stands during the ceremony with her
back to the entire assemblage Of spec
tators, and the mere fact of the gown
being fastened in the back precludes
good line there or any trimming
scheme save the scantiest. A front fas-
