though they involve dealings In securi-
ties Of interstate railroads, when in

Harlan, McKenna and Day declared
that effect Of opinion Of majority Of
court be OF materially narrow scope

declared the questions SO far as sus-
tanned by the United States circuit
court were entirely proper and should
have been answered.
Justice Harlan went further, saying
that all Of the commissions questions
should have been answered. Justice
Moody did not participate in the case
II is not felt by the Interstate
Commerce Commission that Harri-

Rheumatism causes more pain
and suffering than any other dis
ease, for the reason that it is the
most common of all ills, and it is
certainly gratifying to sufferers to
know that Chamberlain's Linimcnt
will afford relief, and make rest
and sleep possible. In many cases
the relief from pain, which is at
first temporary, has become perma-
nent, while in old people subject to
chronic rheumatism often brought
on by dampness or changes in the
weather, permanent cure cannot
be expected; the relief from pain
which this liniment affords is alone
worth many times its cost. % and
