It is dangerous thing to take a
cough medicine containing opiates
that merely stifle your cough instead
of curing it. Foiey's Honey and Tar
loosens and cures the cough and ex-
pels the poisonous germs, thus pre-.
venting pneumonia and consumption.
Refuse substitutes and take only

Washington, Jan. 1S.-It was Chief
Justice Fuller in person who sent in
the order that LETT only an appeal to
the president between John R. Walsh,
the former Chicago banker, and the
Leavenworth penitentiary.
1t was merely the terse, formal or
der that all the petitions for writ Of
certiorari had been denied which set
tied the bankers fate. No explanatory
remarks of any kind accompanied it,
for the is not the custom of the SUI
preme court to tell why it denies such
appeals. The country is expected to
take it for granted that the reasons
are sufficient.

MINORS HAVE NOT
MAJORITY RIGHTS
Decision Of state Supreme Court is
Far Reaching In Its Effect Upon
Land Titles.

The state supreme court has Just
rendered a decision that will be of far
reaching effect ~ the matter of land
titles IN Oklahoma The decision was
the result Of a suit brought to test
the legality Of the act comforting the
rights OF majority on minors. The SUI
preme court holds that the marriage
Of minors does not remove the disa-
bilities of the minor, by reason Of his
being such, except as to property ae-
quired subsequent to the marriage
It has been the practice OF many
land sharks to get two minors Of In
dian decent to marry In order that
they might sell their allotments.
Prior to this decision the lower courts
have held that minors who have mar
ried are to be regarded as having all
the rights Of majority. The decision
It Is claimed also declares all orders
comforting majority rights on minors.
except as mentioned above, are void
The courts decision will affect the
title TO thousands Of acres of land that
has been sold by minors whom the
rights Of majority had been conferred

brought in s307O53,3Sl in customs re-
ceipts These figures were made pub
lie today by the bureau Of statistics
and the department Of commerce and

Under the Payne law the average
I'D yalorem rate Of duty on all imports
has been O.95 per cent less than id
any previous similar period since 1890.
except in 1896 when It was 20.5s per

is less than IN the corresponding period
