A STARTLING STATEMENT,
New York Medical Authorities Claim
Dyspepsia Causes Consumption.

The post mortem statistics of the
big New York hospitals show that
some eases of consumption are due
to unchecked dyspepsia. especially
when the victim was predsposed to
tuberculosis.
Dyspepsia wears out the body and
brain, the weakened, irritable stom-
ach is unable to digest food, the body
does not receive the required nourish
ment. constipation ensues and the
victim becomes thin, weak and hag-
gard. AS a result, the body becomes
Il fertile field for the germs of dis
case to lodge and flourish.
Therefore. the person who permits
d'Sr"pSia 10 progress mhindcrcd is
guilty Of contributing toward the de-
Ncl"pmcn Of one Of the most insidi-
ous and fatal diseases known to man.

GUESSING THE RESULT.

The election for president Of the
Tinted States. and in this for State
officers. will be- held next Tuesday.
OF course. :" far as the State rlcr-
tl"n is concerned il is merely Il for
mai matter is the selections were
made in the primary. II is very i'm
p"rtant, however. that Il full Demo-
cratic vote should be polcl. The Re-
publlranS in congress use aS an arru-
mcn for cutting down our represent
tation the small vote which is usually
pollrd in thr general election. Be-
sides that il is important that we
should give Mr.. Bryan us large Il
popular vote rs possible. and in max
in" up the total the vote Of South
Carolina will be counted. II is hop
cd. therefore. that every Democrat
will take the time and the trouble to
Q" t" the polls next Tuesday and east
his ballot.
The New York Herald has bccn
printing estimates Of The result for
president and about two weeks ago
The Herald and News presented an
estimate of the New York Herald. A
new estimate was printed on the Goth
of this month. In order that those
who desire to make calculations and
guess at results may crafty that
we print the last estimate
made up by the New York
Herald. The Herald we believe
claims to be independent but this year
has decided Republican lcanings.
1t will be seen that The Herald 5
estimate gives Mr.. Taft $50 votes
which are SO more than are ncces-
sary. It takes 242 votes to elect a
president. IF New York should be
carried by the Democrats then un-
der this estimate the Republicans
would lack one of majority.
The Herald gives the Democratic
party only l56 votes. The Democrats
claim Indiana. Kentucky, and Ne
braska as certain but those without
New York would not give Democratic
victory. II seems that all Of the cs-
timatcs which are made place New
York in the position Of holding the
balance Of power. and either party to
win must carry New York. The bat
tie is being wagcd in that State this
week.
Some people claim that Mr.. Rry-
an will have landslide, so to
speak, in the west. r. he should, of
course. his election is assured even
if he loses New York. But we give
yon the IIcrald's estimate and let
you figure ont the result to suit your.

Virtues and Abuses of Restraining

Grafton of Labor

BY Associated Press.
MARTINS FERRY, o.. Jan. 9.-The
views of William H. Taft, secretary of
war, in regard to the use and abuse of
injunctions, are stated in letter in re-
ply to questions propounded by Llewellyn
Lewis, secretary of tht Ohio Federation
of Labor, Just given out here today.
Secretary Taft prefaces his statement
with a declaration that he believes it to
be. highly beneficial and entirely lawful
for laborers to unite in their common
interests"
Proceeding directly to the answer of
the questions propounded, he says:
First, you ask me what would think
of the enactment of a law defining the
cases in which a temporary restraining
order may issue and defining in specific
terms the language in which such order
may be fromed.
II see no objection to the enactment OF
a statute which shall define the rights, of
laborers in their controversies with their
former employers. AS this statute would
fix the full limits of their action, 1t would
necessarily furnish a definite rule for de-
termining the cases in which injunctions
scope.
1T should be said that this statute.
however it enacted by congress. could
relate only to the District of Columbia or
some place within the exclusive Jurisdic-
tion of the federal government, or to
those employers or employees whose rela-
tions are within congressional definition
and control.
Generally, the law governing the re-
lations between employer and employe is
state law, and only enforced in the
federal courts when the Jurisdiction
arises by reason of the diverse citizen
ship of the parties.
Speaking generally however, both as
to federal and, state legislation, l see no
objection to a statute which shall. so far
as possible. define the rights Of both par
ties in such controversies more accurate
ly. Indeed, the more exactly the law Of
