Court Is Nation
Guard Against Errors.

What distinguishes this country
from any other is tho supreme court

stood between us often and errors
that might have been committed that
would have been greatly injurious to
lhis country. To turn upon that
court and question It's motives and
attack il is TO me TO lay the axe

There were scofTers at this statute
who were in favor OF abolishfng COM

Challenges Critics
Of II. s. Supreme Court.

The supreme court has been great
~ criticised by certain publicIsts
and iurists and others That perhaps
do not aspire TO those resoundinG
names. The supreme court has said
that In the construction of this
statute they were going TO follow the
light Of reason and they were gong

and these publiciSts and jurists say
that was a great mistake. that YOU
ought not 10 cunstrue il in the light

The most literal construction posi-
bic. They say that by so CunStru-
ing IL in tho light OF reason the court
has cmasculsicd tho statute and
made it harmless against the evil
which was contemplated by congress.
Now ! challenge: and have chal-
lcnecd one Of those pubicists or

Medicine In the Sea.

The Sea, according to certain scient.
lists. can furnish not only nourishment,i
but medicine. A distinguished French
practitioner. prescribes the drinking Of
sea water as a cure for diabetes. the
water being aerated in order to re-.
move Its impurities and, to some ex.
tent, its nauseoGs flavor. It has also
been administered with success n
cases OF bronchitis and pletrisy. Exl
periments carried out on consumpt1vs
patients show that subcutaneous In
jections of sea water are beneficial, at
all events in the early stages Of tuber.s
culosis. Bread made with sea water
is said by those who have tried 1t t.
be most appetizing and nourishing.
