claring that the Asiatic situation af-
fecting the Pacific coast was a menace

a feet kept in the Pacific.
Mr.. Hale laid before the senate o
statement of battleships and other fea-
lures of the American naval program,

fleet as is now in the Pacific can be
kept there and at the same time there
would be ships for a still larger fleet
for the Atlantic.

bate for the day with a strong appeal
to senators to vote for four battle
ships. He was constantly engaged in
exchanges of words with other sena'
tors. He insisted that peace and not
war would be promoted by building W
the navy.

them for four battleships. IF the
four battleships appropriation be not
granted" the telegram stated, I'VE

II want to tell you how saved one
of our horses that had a fistula. We
had the horse doctor out and he said
It was so bad that he did not think he
could cure it, and did not come again.
Then we tried Sloan's Liniment and
1t cured it up nicely.
"One day last spring I was blowing
for a neighbor who had a horse with
sweeny, and l told him about Sloan's
Eminent and he had me get a bottle
for him, and it cured his horse all
right, and he goes off now like a colt
1--WE had a horse that had sweeny
awfully bad and we thought it was
never going to be any good, but we
used Sloan's Liniment and it cured it,

about it and he said it was the best,
Liniment he ever used.
1--WE are using Sloan's Sure Collie;
Cure and we think 1t is all right"

. MISSOURI STATE NEWS f:
The c. o. %. Case Transferred,

The c. o. D. Case Transferred.
The case Of the state against Abram
Rosenberger, a Kansas City distiller,
wal transferred by division 2 of the
supreme court to the court in bane
and set down for argument before a
full court. This case is to test the
C. o. d. shipment of intoxicating liquor
into local option counties. Rosenber-
ger was convicted in Webster county
for shipping liquor into that county on
a C. o. d. consignment. The county is
under local option. He appealed. The
case against Re%senberger was brought
in June, 1907, by the county attorney
of Webster county. A convition re-
suited and a fine of $500 was entered.
The point at issue in the case was to
determine where the sale of liquor was
consumated. The state contented that
the sale was made at the place where
the money was paid. R%osenberger al
legged that the liquor was shipped opon
receipt of a mail order with instruc-
tions to send it C. o. d. and that the
sale really was made in Kansas City
where the order was received. The
firm had no salesman in that territory,
