Which leads to all sorts of ills

doctor once said that ninety five
per cent of all the ills os the
human body have their origin
in a disordered stomach.
y ply stefan who made n
speciality Of stomach troubles,
particularly dyspepsia, after
years OF study perfected the

Dyspepsia Tablets are made.
Our experience with Rexan
Dyspepsia Tablets leads us to
believe them to be the greatest
remedy known Tor the relief of
acute indigestion and chronic
dyspepsia Their ingredients
are soothing and healing to the
inildnrd membranes of the
stomach, They are rich IN
pepsin, one of the greatest
digestive aids known To medi.
cine, The relief they afford is
almost immediate. Their use
with persistency and regularity
for short time brings about u
cessation OF the pains caused by
stomach disorders.
ReXull Dyspepsia Tablets will
insure healthy appetite, aid
digestion and promote nutri
ton. As evidence of our sincere
faith IN ReXalI Dyspepsia Tab
lets, we ask you TO try them at
our risk If they do not give

EASTERN COTTON TAMNes
Japan and China Have Bought Twice -
Much as a Year Ago.

New York.-Japan and China has this
year taken American cotton to more
than twice the amount of a year ago to
date. Exports to those two countries to
April were 141, $50 bales, compared with
66,694 bales last season, or an increase
of 112 per cent. Recent advices from
Japan mention freer buying with recess
Bions in the American spot market.
Japan depends largely upon India for
raw cotton. The larger takings OF
American cotton are regarded as re-
quired by the development of the Japa-
nese industry in higher qualities of
goods. Progress of the spinning industry
in China also accounts for improvement
ill the demand from that country. Con-
sumption in Japan at its highest was
reached in 1907, when 911,OOO bales were
consumed, of which $4,000 were East
Indian cotton, $4,000 American and
175,OOO bales of Chinese cotton.

I%nsurgent Democrats Come Into eau
Gus and Defeat Effort to Reindorse
Sheehan.

Albany, N. Y.-Supreme Court Justice
James Aloysius O'Gorrnan, Democrat, OF
New York city, was elected United
States senator Friday by the legislature
after the most protracted struggle over
this position ever held in the Empire
state. On the final ballot, the sixty
fourth, he received liz votes to so cast
for ChaLncey NJ. Depew, whose term ex-
pired March A.
At the close of a day of almost con-
tinuous negotiations, the insurgents ca
~pitulatel and Justice O'Gorman was
elected. A few minutes before the bal
lot was cast Justice O'Gorman's resig-
nation from the bench was filed at the
office of the secretary of state, as a con-
stitutional provision would have prohib-
tied his election while holding the office
of justice of the supreme court.
Wild applause marked the end of the
long contest, and the legislature adopted
a resolution adjourning until April II.
Gov. Dix expressed qualification al the
result.
"The state of New York." he said, "haa
electeu ior us representative III Ohc A'"
eral senate an eminent ~jurist, a man Of
pronounced ability, of great attachments
and of the highest character. The cleo
ton of Judge O'Gorman can not but meet
with tn. approval of the citizens of thii
state, regardless of party. He will rank
with the ablest statesmen the senate
has known, will well represent the En-
pire state and bestow honor upon thu
! party that elected him. I am gratifet
at this solution of the problem which
has confronted the Democratic member
of the legislature for the last ten weeks.

May CUT PRICES OF
PATENT MEDICINES
SUPREME COURT RULES ON PARK
CUT RATE" CASE.
Justice Holmes Believes There is a Ten
dency to Overvalue Benefits OF
Competition

Washington.-The attempt to put the
ban on "cut rates. in proprietary medi-
cines received the disapproral OF the
supreme court of the United states.
That tribunal declined in an opinion by
Justice Hughes to give it aid TO sueh
an attempt on the ground that 1t wouiu
afford the manufacturers OF medicine al
unlawful monopoly.
The question of the right OF a manu-
facturer to control the price OF his arti
Gle to the consumer arose in a suit begui
by the DIR. Miles Medical Company OF
Elkhart, Ind, against a wholesale dealer
in medicines in Cincinnati, John d.. Park
e. Sons Company.
The manufacturer sought to enJoin
the Cincinnati firm from inducing deal
ers who had procured medicines from
the manufacturer to sell in violation OF
u contract with the manufacturer ami
from selling medicines procured In TINS
way at "cut rates."
Justice Lurton, then a judge in the
circuit court, announced the opinion OF
the ciruit court of appeals Of the Sixth
circuit denying the injunction sought,
He said that while the manufacturer OF
medicines under a secret formula had a
right to a monopoly of manufacture
until the formula was discovered by fai'
means, yet courts could not insure HIN
the unnecessary monopoly" OF con
trolling the price to the consumer.
Justice Hughes quoted approvingl!
from Judge Lurton's opinion and states
that the medical company had made tn
mistake of considering its monopoly o
manufacture to be a monopoly OF sale.
Justice Holmes, in a dissenting
opinion, said that he believed in tn
policy of letting people manage thei
own business in their own way as mucl
as possible. Furthermore, he stated tina
he believed there was a tendency to ovei
value the benefit of competition to tn
public. None of the other justices cor
