Flies.

God bless the man who first invent
ed screens, and God pity the man who
is too indolent or Indifferent to place
them between his family and the
Bpreaders of deadly disease. There is
absolutely no excuse for the man or
woman whose place of habitation
swarms with flies and whines with
the voices of mosquitoes. They can
be kept out, and 25 cents spent in
keeping them out is equivalent to
keeping out a doctor who would cost
$50, or possibly to keeping out much
less welcome visitor.

Defects in the maximum law were
remedied by the amendment of 1907,
it is set forth, and the 2-cent fare act
was passed. In January, 1907, Gov
ernor Hadley, then Attorney General
Of Missouri, enjoined the railroads in
the State court from disobeying the
law.
Then, says the Murphy resolution
Judge Mcpherson arbitrarily and
without notice to the state" issued

laws. thereby, by extraordinary pro-
ceeding, destroying the jurisdiction

function of the State of Missouri in
fixing passenger rates.
The facts of the railway conference
upon the Missouri rate situation are
then reviewed and it is alleged that
the agreement fixing rates of 3, az,

Governor Hadley promptly directed
the Circuit Attorney of st. Louis to
enjoin the railroads from making it
effective.
Judge Mcpherson then, the resolu-

AXE A TONIC
FOR NEURALGIA
Highest Medical Authorizes Agree
on Treatment for This
Painful Disease.

Neuralgia is Inflammation Of . nerve.
This inflammation is sometimes caused
by exposure to cold, sometimes by the
nerve irritation arising from decayed
tooth. OF all causes, however, general
debility Of the system is by far the most
frequent. Authorities agree that the
proper treatment for neuralgia is to build
up the strength and health of the body.
A nourishing diet and tonic treatment
will accomplish this but external appli-
cations, as of liniments, cannot. DR..
Williams Pink Pills are the most yalu-
able tonic for the home treatment Of
neuralgia, . fact proved by the follow
ing case recently reported.
