trouble, and frequently said l liked it
so well | would not, and could not
quit drinking it, but I was miserable

months | never went to bed expect

as though l was liable to die at any
time
Frequently l had nervous chills and
the least excitement would drive sleep
away, and any little noise would upset
me terribly. l was gradually getting
worse until finally one time it came
over me and l asked myself what's
the use of being sick all the time and
buying medicine so that l could in
dulge myself in coffee?
so I thought ! would see if | could
quit drinking coffee and got some
Postum to help me quit l made it
strictly according to directions and

Commission ASKS
REAL AUTHORITY
INTERSTATE COMMERCE BODY
PRESENTS VIEWS TO SEN
ATE AND HOUSE
SINGLE JUDGE SHOULD NOT
HAVE POWER TO STAY Ex
EcuTIoN OF ORDER.

washington, Feb. 22.-In an inform
al statement submitted to the presi
dent and the house and senate com
mittee by the interstate commerce
commission it was suggested that Ger.
tain changes in the interstate COM
merce measure now pending in con
gress be made.
The bill as whole is approved by
the commission and in its statement
the commission expresses gratlhca-
ton chat this measure embodies the
most, if not all, of the principal recon-
mendations heretofore made to con-
gress, except the valuation of railroad
properties, and also contains provi-
sions of great Importance, which In
the general scope are unanimously en-
dorsed"
However, the commission recon.
mends chat the bill be so amended
as to contain no explicit statement
that the commerce court shall have
no jurisdiction or power over the or
ders of the commission not now pos
sessed by the circuit courts of the
United States.
1--WE are of the opinion that single
judge of a commerce court should not
be empowered to stay. an order of the
commission" and the suggestion is
made that such a way may be grant
ed only by the court cor a majority of
the judges thereof
In the suspension of proposed
rate, the commission desires 120 days
instead OF 60 days as proposed in the
bill.
1t is maintained that the commits.
sion should have power to compel
borough rates and joint rates when
ever in its opinion they are required
by public necessity.
If it is the intent of congress to
give shippers the right to choose be-
tween two or more routes in routing
traffic, the commission believes the
intention should be expressed plainly
in the proposed law.
Concerning the purchase of one
road by another road, the commission
says:
I'VE see no reason why the prohi-
bition, that one road shall not acquire
any interest in competing road,
should not be extended so as to pro-
hibit the acquiring of any interest in
a competing water line,'' and an
amendment is suggested to include
water lines
A similar amendment is proposed
to prevent control of competing lines
by holding company.

MINNESOTA RAIL
TAX LAW UPHELD
SUPREME COURT OF THE UNITED
STATES RENDERS MANY
DECISIONS.

Washington, Feb. 22.-In more than
so decisions, the supreme court of the
United States yesterday passed ON the
administration of justice as it had ap
peared in the lower federal courts and
state tribunals in more than half the
states of the union. Many state laws
were declared unconstitutional, more
upheld. and the laws of the United
States given final Interpretation.
The Importance of state railroad laws
decided exceeded any other line OF
cases. The state of Minnesota won
a complete victory over the Great
Northern railway company and the
Chicago & Great Western railroad,
which had resisted the states attempt
to levy a four per cent. gross earn
ings tax on them
The state of South Carolina likewise
won victory over the railroads OF
that state when the court adopted the
view Of the supreme court of South
Carolina that the law requiring rail
roads to pay a penalty of $50 for fail
ure to adjust within 90 days claims
for losses, applied only to intra-state
traffic. The state of Kansas came out
victorious in its fight with the Mis-
souri, Pacific railroad company for the
installation of separate passenger
trains on the branch road from Mad
ison, Kansas, to the Kansas Missouri
state line
It was in this case that the court
announced a doctrine that will reach
every state, that even if this passen-
ger train was operated at a loss the
railroad was under duty to perform

"This victory means that the state

taxes as well as insured OF an annual
revenue of 100000
1T is the most important litigation
the state has ever carried on"
