HER FEET WERE SORE AND CRACKED
SOIes Seemed as Though Covered with Knife Cuts Could Not Bear Weight of Feet Even on Pillow - Was Long Unable to Walk-Many Remedies Failed Now Cured.
WILL PRAISE CUTICURA
 AS LONG AS SHE LIVES

"Some four years ago had the nnis. fortune to have my feet get sore. The doctors could not tell me what it was. used everything could hear or think of but all to noN avail. The feet were all cracked across the bottom as ie you had taken knife and cut them every whichway. They would peel up, and, oh, myl how they did hurt when 1 would try to walk - which I was not able to do for a long time. One day one of our neighbors came to our house and asked what was the matter. I showed him my feet and he said he had some Cuticura Ointment which would heal them up. There was only enough to apply once, but found It helped me so much that sent for . set of Cuticura Soap, Cuticura Ointment, and Cuticura Pills, costing one dollar, and to my great joy, my feet were cured and have never troubled me since. I shall praise Cuticura as long as l live for the great help it has been. Mrs. Margaret Trimmer, Plattin, Mo-, June 30 and July 2l, 1907."

MORTGAGE TAX LAW UPHELD

what threatened to be final test of ,h. constitutionality of the act of the Is03 session of the Legislature, tmpos- ing privilege tax on recording mortgages, fell to the ground by de- cision of the Supreme Court or Ala bama yesterday.
 The case had been started as test by the Manhattan Trust Company. or New York. which some time ago hled d deed of trust in the sum of s2.o00.- Ooo with Probate Judge J. B. Gaston. of Montgomery county and paid the recording tax thereon of fifteen cents on the one hundred dollars. This was paid under protest and amounted to s3,000. Immediately after paying the tax, counsel for the Manhattan Trust Company filed suit to recover the amount.
 speaking for the Supreme Court Justice John R. Tyson, in brief opln- ion, declared that the judgment of the Montgomery City Court, where the suit was brought. would have to be af- Armed on account of the indefinite ness of. the brief submitted by counsel for the appellant. was to uphold the act of the Lesfsla- ture providing for the mortgages tax. As the Chief Justice said in his opin- ion. the. appellant evidently intended to make a test of the constitutfonality of the act and that the Court could gather from the brief with the case that the allegation was that Section: 62 of the Alabama Constitution was violated. in the passage of the .bilk
 Brief Was InreMnite.
 But inasmuch as the brief was not enough as guide to the Supreme Court In determining the points raised. there was nothing left to do but to af- firm the lower courts Judgment. Thus the merits of the case have never been passed upon by the Supreme Court though 1t has been the desire of trust companies generally operating in Alabama to stest the mortgage tax law.
 Speaking in part Chief Justice Ty. son said in his opinion:
 N. "Forsthe manifold steps taken rela- tive to the passage of the bill we are referred to the pages of the Journals of the respective houses of the leEls- lature where they may be found The ascertainment of which the journal Of the two houses--with respect to the reference of the bill to the committee of reference. the report of that conl- mittee to the respective houses. and the action of the house and of the sem ate upon that report. and the like---is necessity to an intelligent determine tion of the question here sought to be reviewed.

warehouses; quit FarmerS union.
The Farmers Union Bureau of
Arkansas, representing lightweight
warehouses, were in session nearly
all day Thursday in the hall of the
house OF representatives at the state
house, and Thursday night held
short meeting at which an executive
committee composed OF the following
members was appointed: 7. G. Wiley
of Cabot, r. H. McCulloch of Beebe,
}. F. Stoball Of Plumeryille, c. G.
Montague of Van Buren, and W. F..
Tate of Camden.
About fifty members of the bureau
were present at the meeting, with
President j. P. Price of Ell Paso pre-
siding and H. 7. Smith OF Crystal
Springs acting as secretary
The greater part of the session was
spent in discussing matters relating
to the seasons cotton crop and the
arrangements for disposing of it.
resolution was adopted denying
the reported statement that the Farm
ers' Union of Arkansas disapproved
of the warehouse plan in this state
and favored the handling OF Arkansas
cotton through a central warehouse in
Little Rock with headquarters at
Memphis. The resolution declares
that the Farmers Unions interest in
the warehouse in this state in I'M
abated and that the Farmers Union
Company of Memphis has always ia
vored and helped union warehouses
in Arkansas and sells cotton for Ar
kansas union farmers direct from
their warehouses to the representa-
tives of spinners
b. G. West, manager of the Farm
ers' Union Company at Memphis,
and who acts for the Arkansas union
warehouse men as their sole agent
for the sale of their cotton to spin
ners, stated that there was no inten-
ton whatever on the part of the
union to interfere i'll any manner with
the present warehouse system in Ar
kansas.
1t was reported at the meeting that
the upland cotton crop in the state
is one-third short of what it was two
years ago.
