Is BEAUTY ONLY SKIN DEEP?

Beauty is only skin deep, but the forces
that create beauty are as deep as the
fountain from which they flow, when
the blood is charged with impurities
beauty disappears, when the blood is
pure beauty blossoms in face and form.
Rydale's Liver Tablets keeps the Liver
healthy and the bowels regular, prevents
the blood becoming laden with bile and
waste matter, makes the skin clear
eyes bright and beauty more than skin
deep. w. V. Orcutt.

FEE
MUST PREVAIL
SUPREME COURT PASSES ON CON.
FLICT IN NATURALIZATION
LAWS.

That the federal fees tor issuing final
naturalization papers must prevail
over the fee prescribed by the state
law passed by the 1907 legislature, is
the judgment of the supreme court
handed down in the case of William
Robert Newman Us. j. F. Libby, clerk
of the superior court of Pierce coun-
ty. ... = 3-'- - -
The decision grants a writ of man
damus compelling the clerk to issue
the final naturalization certificate of
Newman and accept the fee of So pre-
scribed by the act of congress and dis
regard the state law fixing the fee at
So. The decision relieves the clerks of
a dilemma that has practically sus-
pended naturalization throughout the
state for the time being.
Reasoning that congress was with
in its powers when it provided for uni
form fees for naturalization through
out the United States. the supreme
court holds that section 6, article 8.
of the state constitution granting the
state power to regulate admission of
foreigners to citizenship. while not in
contravention to the federal constitu-
ton did not carry with it the right to
prescribe different fees from those fixed
| by congress.
