ANOTHER IMPORTANT VICTORY
FOR TIE CARTER MEDICINE
COMPANY ~ THE UNIFIED -
STATES COURT

The United States Circuit Court for
the Southern District of New York
sitting in New York City-has just
awarded to the Carter Medicine Com
pany a decree which again sustains
the company's exclusive right to use
the red package for liver pills.
By the terms of the decree, it is,
among other things:
Adjudged that the Carter Medicine
Company is the owner of the sole and
exclusive right to the use OF red col
ored wrappers and labels upon said
small, round packages of liver pills of
the style described in the bill of COM
plant; said right having been ac-
quired by the prior adoption of said
style and color Of package for liver
pills by the complainant predecessors
more than thirty years ago, and es-
tablished by the continuous and ex-
elusive use of the same in constantly
increasing quantities by said prede-
cessors and by the complainant, the
Carter Medicine Company, itself, from
the time of their said adoption until
the present day.
The decision just announced is per-
haps the most important and far-reach-
ing of all, by reason of the character
of the tribunal which rendered it. No
Court in the country stands higher.

Complaint Against 81 Hotels.

SOiIIHi6iIfS NSdIio6 1T
A general campaign against all the
careless hotel keepers in the state
was started by the state board OF
health. Complaints against fifty-four
hotel keepers were sent out to county
attorneys all over Kansas with in
structions to serve notices upon the
violators of the law. In these fifty
four cases it is charged that the hotel
keepers have failed to comply with the
sanitary laws and regulations in force.
1t is also charged that some of them
have overlooked the fire escape regu-
lations.
Immediate prosecutions will not be
started against the hotel men. The
county attorneys have been instructed
to serve notices on them to the effect
that complaints have been sworn out
and if they do not then comply with
the law, to go ahead and file the COM
plants. In each complaint there is
sufficient evidence to secure con-
viction, according to the state board
of health. Other complaints have
been prepared and it is likely that an
other bunch will be sent out in few
days.
The board of health refused to give
out the names of the hotel men men
toned in the complaints, stating that
1t is probable that many of them will
agree to comply with the law and
prosecutions will be unnecessary. The
board does not intend to injure the
business of any hotel man without
cause.

Fire Marshals Must Inspect.

State Labor Commissioner w. L. A.
Johnson sent out to all fire depart
ment chiefs, fire marshals and town
marshals in the state, notices calling
attention to certain laws. The law
requires that these officials inspect all
OF the three story buildings and those
over that height to see that the fire
escape specifications have been com
piled with. After the inspection the
officials are required to report to the
state labor commissioner. Very few
reports have been sent in. There is a
penalty for failure to make these re-
ports and after this notice Mr.. John
son intends to enforce the law. The
reports should have been sent in in
September. He sent out the neces-
sary blanks in June.

As to the HessIan Fly.

The Hessian fly is German product
which was conceived in iniquity and
born in sauerkraut. 1t is a long, rangy
fly with'a bite like a steel trap, and it
lays pale blue, oblong egg at the
rate Of 10000 an hour. The Hessian
fly will eat anything from decayed
custard pie to glass inkwell, but its
favorite dish is the double neck of a
fat gent. This bird can perform a
two-step on sticky fly paper without
crooking its toes, and is proof against
rough on rats, the daisy fly killer, and
a strychnine hypodermic. No Hessian
fly was ever known to die of anything
but old age, which accounts for the
color of it's whiskers. If it ever fas-
