TOW that old Boreas is contrib
uting his share TO the winter
season. there are many peo-
pie whose faces show the re-
suits of his touch in a chapped condition
which is unIovely and uncomfortable.
At home there can be a simple treat
ment carried out that will do two
things: correct the dry, rough condi-
ton Of the skin and build up the tissues
thereby preventing a recurrence.
In order 10 make the skin amenable
to treatment it is best to give 1t pre-
liminary bath with warm water. Two
or three times I advise you TO wash the
chapped skin. This lessons the rigidity
OF the muscles and gives a pliable sur
face upon which to work. The pores
are opened and the whole face is ready
for the next step.
SOW gently massage the skin with
olive oil. Remember that the motion
must be upward and outward, and if
there are any wrinkles be sure TO rub
across them and not along the lines.
The oil will soften the dry scales of the
chapped skin and they will be removed.
II will also build up the tissues.
After a thorough bath in oil apply
a paste made Of oatmeal and water
This has a healing effect, and gives
wonderful results in a short time. Rub
It into the skin and allow it to remain
for I'VE or ten minutes. Remove with a
warm wet cloth and apply buttermilk.

WHERE DID IT GET IT7

= Sioux City Tribune: The Outlook,
which discusses serious questions and
in rather excathedra manner, has
discoursed recently upon our courts.
1t quoted the federal constitution
which, as to law making, provides
that "all legislative powers herein
granted shall be vested in a con-
gress," and, as to the judiciary, its
provision that 1.-THE judicial power of
the United States shall be vested in
supreme court" 1t then stated that
"the supreme court is the final inter
prefer of the written constitution and,
therefore Of what are the powers
which, through that constituti on, the
people have given to congress" At
another time it said of that court:
Congress did not create nor did 1t
destroy It}, nor can it take from that
court it's powers to interpret the con-
stitution and so define the powers Of
congress" i"
The Tribune could not see where
the constitution, that defined the jud
icial power, gave warrant to the su-
preme court to nullify acts OF con-
gress and asked The Outlook whence
the court got its authority.
The current issue refers us to the
case Of Marbury VS.. Madison, decided
in" n"1sO1-2, the opinion written by Chief
Justice Marshall, and quotes from 1t
the words in which the multiplying
power was assumed and excused. The
Outlook adds that "this reasoning
though for the moment resisted, has
since been accepted and as been sc
long acted upon by the courts, recog
nized as Just by the executive, the
congress and the people, that 1t Is
practically as much part of the con
stitution as If it were in words in
corporated in the constitution itself. ;
To which The Tribune interposes
what lawyers would call a demurrer
That is, granting the facts the con.
clusion does not follow. The answer
is not made to the question ''whert
did it get it?'' 1t was not given by
the organic law. The words "judtca
power" did not carry it as conveying
judicial power as exercised by courts
for no court in Christendom, especial
ly in Britain, whence we drew oul
law, claimed such power. On ths
other hand the proposal in the con
venticn to grant the power was re
jected.
1t got it then not from I've, th'
people," who made the constitution
nor from any grant, but by the usurp
ing act Of john Marshall. Their
must be power somewhere, reasoned
Dakota farmers' leader. (Canton, S.D.) 1890-19??, 1910-10-14
sl.5o PER ANNuM.

Justice Marshall. with that bias for
enlargement of authority character
istic of judges as OF cardinals and all
other men, to say II the congress had
transcended its granted powers and
as the trainers Of the constitution
provided none we assume 1t. Other
judges, tlattered by the increase Of
prestige it gave, and the lawyers who
hoped to be judges and use the power,
all agreed with Marshall. But the
old order changes and the old Is chal-
lenged. The question Marshall de-
cided Is reopened. The question is
asked with increasing earnestness,
where did you get it? And Marshall's
answer Is not accepted.
AS matter Of first impression the
question who should decide II congress
had used ungranted power, would be
answered in the words of the pre-
amble of the constitution: eve, the
people," They made the constitu-
tion. They defined the branches OF
government. They gave to each Its
powers. II 1t we're said that congress
exceeded the grant who but the peo-
pie, the givers Of power, could make
decision? To them was expressly re-
served all powers not granted.
Among them.' was the power ~ pass
Judgment upon the question II the
grant Of power had or had not been
exceeded. Some day, not far away,
the people will take from the supreme
court this power 1t has usurped, and
which has been used from time to
time as last obstruction to the pro-
greSS of the race.

effective HOG CHOLERA SERUM
Government Demonstrated Value of
Serum at South Omaha.

Washington. Oct. IA successful
demonstration Of the value OF the
new government serum for preventing
hog cholera has Just been concluded
at South Omaha, Neb., by the Bureau
of Animal Industry OF the United
States Department of Agriculture.
The efficiency of the serum has been
proved many times In the past, but IN
order that it's value. might be brought
more strikingly before the people OF
Nebraska u demonstration was ar
ranged for at the Union Stock Yards
at South Omaha in cooperation with
the Union Stock Yards Company OF
Omaha.
The stock yards company purchased
thirty pigs, weighing from 80 to go
pounds each, from farm which had
been free from hog cholera for several
years. These pigs were brought to
the stock yards, and on July %, 1910
four OF thein were injected with blood
from hogs sick of hog cholera. These
inocuiaJed pigs were placed iii a pen
by themselves, and within five days
they had become sick, at which time
eighteen of the remaining pigs were
each given one dose OF the serum,
while the other eight pigs were not
treated in any way. The eighteen
serum treated pigs and the eight un-
treated pigs were then placed in the
same pen With the four pigs which
had been made sick by incubation.
The four pigs which were first given
cholera all died, and the eight un-
treated pigs all contracted the disease
from them. The eighteen pigs which
were given serum, and which were
confined in the same pen with the
four original sick pigs and with the
sick untreated pigs, remained perfect
ly we'll, and we're finally turned over
to the officials of the stock yards COM
pany upon the completion Of the ex.
pertinent, September II, 1910.
The experiment was witnessed by
representatives of the Nebraska Agri.
cultural Experiment Station and Of
the Nebraska Swine Breeders Asso-
citation, as we'll as by representatives
of agricultural papers published in
Nebraska.
The department. Of agriculture does
not distribute this serum to the farm.
ers but is endeavoring to bring the
value of this method to the attention
of the soock raising interests in order
that they may arrange to secure state
funds for the manufacture and dis
tribution Of the serum. The govern
ment authorities consider that this
new serum treatment, if properly ap
piled, will result in the saving of mil
lions of dollars.
