 As a ground for their attack on its constitutionality. counsel assert that the act assumes to control relations between employer and. employe. while under the constitution congress has the power merely to regulate traffic between states. They allege also that the act discriminates against railroads i'm favor of steamship companies and other common carriers and that il assumes to regulate traffic within states

NOVEMBER WEATHER EXTRAORDINARY
 SAYS MIR. JENNINGS
Mean Temperature for Month Over Four Degrees Above Average for Years.
Rainfall Was Less Than Half the Aver. age Precipitation for November - Nov. l2 as Hot as Any November Day on Record.

Weather. Observer William Jennings has been delving into his records for ST. years to find a November to com pare with the month just closed. and he finds that November. 1909, was re- 43 degrees warmer than the average November for s7 years, with a mean temperature of AS. On Nov. 12 the mercury reached 77 degrees, real sum- mer heat, and less than a week be- 26 degrees. He can't find a warmer November day on record than Nov. 12, while the coldest November day he can find the thermometer register ed degrees above zero.
 On the warmest day, he also found the greatest variation of temperature, the mercury cavorting mad.y up and down the scale. a distance of 37 de- grees- Both Nov. 14 and 24, the daily range was only 6 degrees.
 There Is little encouragement as to the condition, of drought The total downpour was 1-92, and this is 1.96 inches below the average precipitation for the month. There were eight days with .01 inch Or more of rain Snow and sleet fell to the depth of or inch. Nov. A showed a precipitation of .67 inch, the greatest in "A hours
 There were F clear, 10 party cloudy. and cloudy days. and the prevailing wind direction was northwest Baro- higher than usual. 30-14- The highest pressure was Nov. 10, 30.72 and the lowers. the 18th. 29.4S. Any month that is two degrees out of the mean temperature for that per iod for a number of years, is unusual. But the temperature, for November, over four degrees warmer than the average, Is extraordinary.

season and this is greater activity than is shown by any similar organ ization in the world It Is an unwrft- ten law that the orchestra shall not play two concerts in one day and 1t is very seldom that a concert and re- hearsal take place on the same day. Little things like this count nightly in the efficiency of an orchestra and while from one point of view such things do not make for great finan- clal results (for one would naturally say the greater number of concerts the greater amount of money that Is taken in) at the same time. it Is a question whether the Boston Sym rhony could play to such huge receipts If it was not the greatest orchestra iH this country. which fact is due largely 10 the great care taken of it's men.

AGED MILLIONAIRE OPENS ARMS TO HIS
 EL0PING DAUGHTER
Forgiveness Awaits Pretty Olga Everard
 Who is Bride of Fathers Secretary
Denied That She is Already Very Wealthy ir Her Own Right-fa.her is Anxious She Should Return.

While the relatives of Mir. and Mrs. James Everard of Greenwich. were endeavoring yesterday to find the brewers daughter. Olga. to tell her that her parents were anxious to find her to tell her of their forgiveness for her marriage to William Williams, her fathers secretary and former chauf- feur. the couple were on their way to Atlantic City.
 Since last Tuesday. when Miss Olga disappeared from Whig Maleer. her fathers country place, at Greenwich, Conn. and joined MT. Williams in Newark. N J.. where they were mar ried by a clergyman. the couple have been living at the Hotel Belmont. New York On Thursday Mrs Williams sent the news of her marriage to her par ents. but failed to mention where she was stopping.
 Yesterday morning. when the bride saw published report of her mar riage. she prepared to leave the city. Up to this time she had received no word from her parents. nor did she know that her relatives were search ing for her to impart the news that all had been forgiven and that she and her husband would be welcomed home. The couple. therefore. made a hurried departure for Atlantic City yesterday morning.
 When a member of the Everard family yesterday at Greenwich con- firmed the marriage of the brewers orly daughter to William Williams il was denied emphatically that the young woman had recently inherited a large fortune.
 .OIga Is only IS years old" it was declared. ..and 1t will be several years yet before she comes into any prop erty."

A Bad Breath Boon
Her Cheeks Were AgIow Like Roses
 In Bloom Her Lips Red As Cherries Thrice
 Over; Her Teeth Like the Pearl; Her Hair Tangled Curl; Her Breath Like Sweet Blowing
 Clover.

So much for poetry. But STUARTs CHARCOAL LOZENGES ARE prose as we'll They are practical and for everyday use and they will make any ones breath just as sweet and whole some as the Girls breath in the song.
 And what is nicer than a sweet clean breath and what more offensive than a bad, foul one? Every one tries to get rid of it themselves and toler- ate it in their friends. butt is aw- fully trying and puts friendship and sentiment to a severe test
 A bad breath is a sort of unspoken fmputation on cleanliness; you can't get away from it and can't explain You can take foolish little reme dies to disguise 1t for an hour or so: but this ural and d~your friends wonder why.
 Bad breath comes once in a while from decayed teeth, but there is a quick and effectual remedy for this the dentist. It comes ss a rule s9 times out of 100 from a bad stomach. Foods gone wrong; digestion impair ed: assimilation imperfect; nutrition misdirected and a consequent misun- derstanding all around
 And meanwhile a bad condition of things is inaugurated. There Is fiatu- fence, sour stomach, and with these two past masters of evil Pandora's box is opened and a tribe of troubles let loose any one of which might appal.
 
 changes taking place in the stomach by fermentation-which should not is it any wonder that some startling and disagreeable results are evolved ? Bad Breath is conspicuous among them, because always in evidence No use to doctor this or disguise 1t. It is an innocent sufferer.
 GO STRAIGHT TO THE CAUSE The STOMACH Put that in order and the Breath will take care of itself. Charcoal has been remedy for dis ordered stomachs for centuries It is one "cure" that is almost as "old as the hills"
 Summing up. charcoal in its pull verized state is a stomach tonic ana absorbent. Stuart's Lozenges supply a want; a remedy that is simple. handy and efficient. They embody a plain, practical proposition

GIRL TO BE PROUD OF.

An inspiring story coms from Brookfield. Mo-, concerning the career of Missouri girl of whom not only the whole state, but the best woman hood of the entire country should be nnreservedly proud. No one can read this story of fine ambition on the part of Miss Mabel Sturtevant, and of self sacrifice on the part of her devoted mother. without jingle in the blood and new realization of the magnif- icent usefulness of some lives which throws into sharp relief the tremen- dous uselessness of many others.
 Miss Sturtevant Is young woman of 26 years, whose mother raised vege- tables to send her to school, and who herself worked for the means of con- pleting her collegiate education at the University of Missouri and post graduate course at Columbia. She has just been awarded what Is known as the William Braun prize of $2.50o (500 guineas i'll the money of the English testator), which must be spent in travel and observation abroad. Miss Sturtevant captured the coveted prize in competitive examination in which she completely outdistanced large number of con- testants.
 The most gratifying feature of the whole affair is that Mss Sturtevant owes her success. which is the pres age of brilliant future entirely to her own efforts aided by sig nally devoted mother. She is q poor girl. who ten years ago was rural schoolgirl in Linn county. She was born with no silver spoon in her mouth she had no wealth or social position or pull of any sort what ever. She asked nothing of the state or of the world for which she was not willing to pay, in indomitable endeavor. The proceeds of her moth CTS truck garden helped here through the primary schools: her mother took in roomers at Columbia and Miss Sturtevant herself worked as q book keeper to defray her college expenses. Step by step she climbed, winning success after success, aided always

oy her mother, who was one of the best any girl ever had and yet who is but a type of magnificent self-efYac- ing Ameriacan motherhood.
 While tens of thousands of girls were wasting their time and throw ing away their lives in foolish ease that is worse than Bloth, Or despair ing in the face of difficulties, this splendid Missouri girl took arms against a sea of" obstacles and by opposing" did not end but overcame them. There is a girl to be proud of; and if Missouri knows what is really deserving of pride. this commonwealth is proud of Mabel Sturtevant. and her magnificent message to Garcia. v -!Kansas City Journal.
