THE CRACKING OF PAINT.
Property Owners Can Save Money
by Learning the Cause.

Do you know what Is wrong when
paint peels, or cracks, or otherwise
necessitates premature re-painting?
Well, sometimes it hasn't been
properly applied-the surface being
damp or there being too much turpen-
tine or too much drier.
But, nine times out of ten, the
trouble is caused by adulterated
white lead.
To avoid all such trouble, every
houseowner should know in a general
way, when surface is in proper con-
dition to receive paint, what kind Of
primer and finishing coats different
surfaces require, and how to avoid
adulteration in materials.
A complete painting guide, includ-
ing book of color schemes, specifi.
cations for all kinds OF painting work,
and an instrument for detecting adul.
teralons in painting materials, with
directions for using it, can be had

KENTUCKY RAILROADS WIN
WAR AGAINST COMMISSION
Blue Grass State Body Restrained
from Making Rates on Inter
state Commerce.

washington, Apr. 6.-The injunc'
ton suit of the Kentucky railroads in
which the roads asked that the rail.
road commission of Kentucky be re-
strained from carrying into effect the
order Of the commission of June 20,
1906, fixing rates on interstate bust.
ness in that state, was decided yes
terday by the supreme court of the
United States in favor of the roads.
The case came to the supreme
court on appeal by the commission
from decision by Judge Cochran OF
the United States circuit court for
the eastern district of Kentucky. in
which he held to be unconstitutional
the Kentucky statute known as the
McChord law and issued an order per-
petually enjoining the enforcement of
the law. The lower court was af-
firmed but the supreme court, holding
that the statute did not authorize the
wholesale creation of schedules, avoid
ed dealing with the constitutional
questions involved. The decision was
announced by Justice Peckham.
The famous South Carolina dispen-
sary case, involving the disposition of
about 100000 of dispensary funds
held by the state dispensary commits
sion, was decided in favor of the
commission, the opinion being by JUS

The case was instituted by the
Wilson Distilling Company and the
Fleischmann Company in the United
States circuit court for the district
of South Carolina to collect debts
contracted by the state in the pur-
chase of liquor in the state from 1892
to 1907, while the dispensary system
was in vogue. The commission, con-
sisting of w. J. Murray, John Nc
Sween, and Avery Patton, was ap-
pointed in 1907, when the state re-
solved to go out of the liquor bust
ness. This commission was empow-
cred by the legislature to collect all
moneys due the state and to pay all
of it's debts. At the time the suits were
instituted about 100000 had been col
lected and there still was about $780,
600 due. Bills for something over
100000 were presented by liquor
dealers, and when the commission de-
clined to pay them as promptly as
the creditors considered it desirable
they brought suits for their collec-
ton.
