Why Colds Are Dangerous.

Because you have contracted ordi-
nary colds and recovered from them
without treatment of any kind, do not
for a moment imagine that colds are
not dangerous. Everyone knows that
pneumonia and chronic catarrh have
their origin in &C ommon cold. Con.
sumption is not caused by a cold but
the cold prepares the system for the
reception and development of the
germs that would not otherwise have
found Judgment. 1t is the same with
all infectious diseases. Diphtheria,
scarlet fever, measles and whooping
cough are much more likely to be con.
tracted when the child has a cold. You
will see from this that more real dan,
ger turks in cold than in any other
Of the common ailments. The easiest
and quickest way to cure a cold is to
take Chamberlain's Cough Remedy.
The many remarkable cures effected
by this preparation have made it sta
pie article of trade over large part Of
the world. For sale by Hays & Field

PART OF RATE
LAW INVALID
COMMODITIES CLAUSE HELD UN-
CONSTITUTIONAL By THE
FEDERAL CIRCUIT COURT.
INfRINGES RIGHT OF STATES
Railroads May Continue to Own and
Operate Coal Mines If De-
eision Stands.

PHILADELPHIA, Sept. 1O.-Declar-
ing II 10 be drastic, harsh and unreas-
enable, and an invasion Of the rights
Of the states, and therefore. repug-
nant to the constitution, the United
States Circuit Court for the Eastern
District of Pennsylvania today dis
missed the suits of the Federal Gov
eminent to enforce the commodities
clause of the Hepburn railroad act
against the anthracite carrying rail-
roads of this state Judges George
GRAY and George NJ. Dallas filed opin-
ions dismissing the suits and Judge
Joseph Burlington dissented but did
not file and opinion.
The commodities clause prohibits
railroad companies from transporting
in interstate commerce any article
or commodity manufactured, mined
or produced by them or under their
authority. The Case was argued in
June, United States Attorney-Gener-
al Bonaparte delivering the princi-
pal argument for the government.
The effect Of the commodities clause
If constitutional, would be to confine
the mining of anthracite coal by the
railroads for use in Pennsylvania only |
or compel the roads to sell all the |
mining property they are interested |
in either directly or indirectly. The
decision OF the court did not come as t
a surprise. 1t is almost certain that
the case will be appealed directly to
the United States Supreme Court.
The principal opinion was written by
Judge Gray, who as president of the
anthracite strike commission has an
intimate knowledge of the mining of
hard coal and of the many ramifca-
ions in the ownership of the coal
mines. Judge Dallas said in his opin-
on that it cannot be denied that the
commodities clause was enacted mot
Ictually for the regulation Of inter-
tate commerce.. but really to coerce
he conformity of interstate business
With a policy approved by congress"

thrown into a vessel of cold water
when granulation ensuesL Taken from
the cold bath, 1t is boiled In sulphuric
acid, the silver dissolving, while the
gold is precipitated to the bottom,
where 1t Is caught in proper recepta-

The acid is now drawn OF and the
metal placed In another vessel laid

being precipitated the silver, II there

ing deposited in thin metallic sheets on
what before the fermentation set in

now been transformed into blue vitriol
or sulphate of copper
After the metals have all been de- Z,
posted they are gathered up and with
the impurities still remaining pressed
into cakes by a hydraulic machine
which has pressure of 200 tons.
Again 1t is melted (the gold and silver
each In separate vats, of course), the
pure metal being again deposited and
the impurities, aided by chemical ac-
ton, left floating on the top. The next
and last process runs the metals into
