GOSPEL OF HEALTH
Plan to Have One Sermon on Sunday,
April %, Devoted to Scourge
of tuberculosis.

Following campaigns against con-
sumption that have been carried on in
the churches of hundreds of cities, and
sermons on tuberculosis that have
been preached before thousands Of con-
gregations during the past year, a
movement has been started by the Ma
tlona Association for the Study and
prevention of tuberculosis to estab-
l1sh a permanent tuberculosis Sunday,
on which it is hoped that every n of
the 100000 church-goers in the
United States will hear the gospel of
health. This year the Sunday selected
is April "a. 1t is planned that on April
"a tuberculosis m shall be
preached IN all the churches of the
country. Literature will be distributed
to members of the congregations, and
IN every way an effort will be made to
teach that tuberculosis is a dangerous
disease and that it can be prevented
and cured.
Clergymen who desire to obtain adj
ditional information in regard to tu-
b~erculOsis will be able to secure litera-
ture from state and local a~nti-tubercu-
losis associations and boards of health,
as we'll as from the national aSsO-
citation.

TINY BABY'S PITIFUL CASE

Our baby when two months old
was suffering with terrible eczema
from head to foot, all over her body.
The baby looked just like a skinned
rabbit. We were unable to put clothes
on her. At first it seemed to be a few
mattered pimples. They would break
the skin and peel off leaving the un.
derneath skin red as though it were
scalds. Then a few more pimples
would appear and spread all over the
body, leaving the baby all raw without
skin from head to foot. On top of her
head there appeared a heavy scab a
quarter of an inch thick. 1t was aw.
full to see so small a baby look as she
did. Imagined! The doctor was afraid
to put his hands to the child. We
tried several doctors remedies but all
failed.
Then we decided to try C%uticura
BY using the Cuticura Ointment we
softened the scab and it came off. I'm.
der this, where the real matter was,
by washing with the Cuticura Soap
and applying the Cuticura Ointment,
a new skin soon appeared. We also
gave baby four drops of the Cuticura
Resolvent three times daily. After
three days you could see the baby
gaining a little skin which would peel
off and heal underneath. Now the
baby is four months old. She is a fine
picture of a fat little baby and all is
we'll. We only used one cake of Cuti.
cur Soap, two boxes of Cuticura Oint.
ment and one bottle of Cuticura Re-
solvent. If people would know what
Cuticura is there would be few suffer.

MISSOURI RIVER At MANDAN
REACHES HIGHEST RECORD
SINCE 1887.
R. R. TRACKS WASHED OUT

Tied Up.

Observation-Disclosures is a sea of water
on the fiat, lands between Bismarck ant
Mandan, and the Missouri river, or.
dinarily only a few hundred feet wide
now eache over a distance Of sever
miles in width, so that boats could pl,
between the two cities. Comparisons
show the water to be the highest since
1887, and only a few inches below the
high water mark of that year.
The water on the lowlands is sta.
tionary, but there is still a firm ice
gorge extending for several miles south
OF the cities. All the residents Of the
bottom lands have been driven u anG
their homes stand in several feet OF
muddy water.
In Mandan, which is entirely cut of
by telegraph OR telephone commune
cation from this city. the water is
higher than the level of the main part
OF the town, but it is being held out
by a dyke, which has been reinforced
during the night with sand bags and
various obstacles to the passage of the
water. The south part of the town
below the track is partly flooded and
some damage is don at the state fair
grounds.
All train connections are broken
There is a stretch Of two miles be-
tween the west end Of the bridge and
Mandan, where the track has been
torn and twisted and is now several
feet under water. The Northern Pa
cifc has a number of cars of ballast
ready to repair the track as soon as
the water subsidies. There will be
no trains from the west for at least
forty-eight hours, and it may be long
er unless the lower gorge of the river
breaks. Several Of the steamers of
that were caught by the ice have been
destroyed, and one Of them is at the
bottom Of the river at the wharf here.
There has been no loss Of lives so
far. Fifty Greek laborers were ma
rooned in their shack near the bridge
for a few hours and We're compelled
to TAX refuge on the roofs Of their
houses and remain there for two hours
until boats could be secured with
which to bring them to safety.

COAL LAW is VALID.
". S. Supreme Court Says It Is Not
C~onfiscstory

Washington, March 14.-The North
Dakota rate law f 1907 was today held
to be constitutional for the present by
the supreme court Ct the United States
despite the claims OF the railroads that
the law requires rhe transportation Of
coal below the cost Of service.
In affirming the decision Of the su.
preme court of North Dakota, Justice
Holmes aid that there were so many
uncertainties about the cate being con-
fiscatory that the supreme court did
not feel justified in oVerruling the state
court which held the law would not
prove c~onfiscatory if put into effect.
The affirmation was made, however,
with the statement that such action
should not prejudice the case of the
railroads if after the law went into eff
feet the measure did prove confisca-
tory.
Since 1907 there has been a law ir.
the state Of Nor-h Dakota to fix the
rates on coal transported by railroads
within the state, the Northern Pacific
and Great Northern Railroad Co.. fall
ing to put the rates into effect, the
state brought suit in the supreme court
of North Dakota to prevent the charg-
ing Of higher rates on coal transported
ton than those provided by the law Of
1905.
The railroads replied that the law
was unconstitutional. The reason as
signed for this was that the statute
sought to take the property of the rail-
roads without due process of law and
that it was an interference with inter-
state The supreme court
of tho Cfofa hold the 1ou, OnSfif,1finro I
and ordered the issuance of a restrain
ing order.
Fargo, March lathe history of tn.
cision by the supreme court of the
United States which holds that the So
called coa rate law is not confiscato1y,
dates back to April 7, 1907 when an
action was started in the supreme court
of North Dakota by Atty. Gen. II. F.
McCue compelling the railroads to
recognize the law. The statute in
question was passed at the 1907 ses-
sion of the state Legislature. 1t fixes
the maximum rate that can be charged
for the transportation Of coal in the
state, regulating as does the inter-
state commerce.
On April 16, 1909 he supreme court
of North Dakota rendered a decision
holding the law constitutional and in
substance that the railroads had failed
to show that the proposed rate was
less than the actual cost of transport
tation.
Immediately on filing Of the adverse
decision by the state supreme court,
notice OF an appeal was filed and the
case was carried t the highest tri-
bunal of the land, where it was the
first Of the year argued by Ex-Atty.
Gen.. McCune, Atty. Gen. Andy Miller
and Atty. Guy c. H. Corliss. Ths
case of the railroad vas presented BY
Atty. c. w. Bum Of st. Paul.
