INDIVIDUAL BETTING is o, K,
So Says New York Supreme Court in
Horse Race Wager Decision.

New York, July 3-Justice Bischoff,
in the supreme court, Thursday decid.
ed that receiving money as the result
of a winning wager on a horserace
is not crime. The Justices decision
as at first announced appeared to war.
rant the Interpretation that all indi-
vidual betting was legal, but the full
opinion as handed down shows that
he upholds that portion of the statute
which prohibits and makes criminal
the business of receiving bets. The
case was that of Melville Collins, who
had won and accepted money as a re-
suit of bet. The justice decided
that in receiving this money Collins
had not violated the law. The Jus.
tice points out that individual betting
differs from the maintaining of place
for gambling or person whose pro-
fession is that of common gambler.

SUFFERED TWENTY-FIVE YEARS.
With Eczema-Her Limb Peeled and
Foot Was Raw-Thought Amputa-
ton Was Necessary-Beiieves
Life Saved by Cuticura.

IT have been treated by doctors for
twenty-five years for a bad case of
eczema on my leg. They did their best,
but failed to cure it. My doctor had
advised me to have my leg cut off. At
this time my leg was peeled from the
knee, my foot was like piece of raw
flesh, and I had to walk on crutches.
I bought set of Cuticura Remedies.
After the first two treatments the
swelling went down, and in two
months my leg was cured and the new
skin came on. The doctor was sur
prised and said that he would use
Cuticura for his own patients. Ihave
now been cured over seven years, and
but for the Cuticura Remedies I
might have lost my life. Mrs. j. B.

peared on his left arm a number of
raw sores.
The man consulted several physi-
clans and their diagnosis was almost
always different and their treatment
invariably unsuccessful.
The sores were so persistent and
rendered the poor fellow so unhappy
that surgeon finally suggested that
he have the arm amputated. He con-
sented and the operation was per-
formed. Three months later the sores
appeared on the right arm and then
on the feet
The patient sought consultation
with DR.. Dieulafoy. one of the most
celebrated practitioners in France.
The physician studied the case thor
oughly, but was forced to reject one
hypothesis after another, until one
day, in the course of his examination,
Dieulafoy noticed that the sores were
similar to those made by potash
burns.
He piled the patient with questions
and accused him of causing the sores
nlmSelI. Inc patient met the accuSa-
ton at first with indignant denials,
but finally confessed that under the
sway OF an impulse too strong for his
will to overcome he made all the sores
himself with potash, and that the
same impulse forced him to submit to
the amputation.
DR.. Dieulafoy said this was one of
the most remarkable cases of simula-
ted disease he had ever noted. Many
faxed disease for the sake of the pleas
ure it gave -moiphinomanes, al
coholics, and the like, he said. In the
present case, however. no pleasure
was attendant upon the initiated dis
ease.
The patient suffered terribly from
the wounds and stood the suffering
heroically.

every reason to feel that l will be

the support of a large number of the
New York delegation, and | believe
that at the proper time they all will
be for me. From other parts of the
country also has come information
that my candidacy is acceptable with
pledges of active support @-'
Mr. ToWne said that he discussed at
length with Mr.. Bryan the various
planks of the platform and particularly
that bearing on the subject of the is
suance of writs of injunction by fed
eral judges in labor cases.
Talk Anti-lnjunction Plank.
'The anti-injunction plank will be so
framed as to meet with favor from a
large majority of the workingmen of
the country said Mr.. Towne. 4.
Another plank, which in all proba-
bilities will be incorporated in the plat
form and which was discussed at
length with Mr.. Bryan, will embody
the proposition of an International
naturalization of the Philippine is
lands.
''The belief was entertained" said
Mr.. Towne, that such policy would
result in avoiding the necessity for
tremendous military defensive ex-
penses and give an assurance of the
development of these lands under
our guidance toward approximate in
dependence. Furthermore, it is likely
that there will be distinct pronounce
ment that permanent system of de-
tendency is out of harmony with our
possessions and discharge of the du-
ties that have come to us with the
Philippines as result of the Spanish
war will not be permitted to defect us
permanently from the course of our
true national progress"

General Demand

Of the Well-Informed of the World has
always been for . simple, pleasant and
efficient liquid laxative remedy of known
value; q laxative which physicians could
sanction for family use because its COM
ponent parts are known to them to be
wholesome and truly beneficial in effect,
acceptable to the system and gentle, yet
prompt, in action.
In supplying that demand with its ex-
cellent combination of Syrup of Figs and
Elixir of SIENNA, the California Fig Syrup
Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies
on the merits of the laxative for it's remark
able success.
That is one of many reasons why
Syrup of Figs and Elixir of SIENNA is given
the preference by the Well-Informed.
