Canaan People Should Not Wait

 The appalling death-rate from kidney disease is due in most cases to the fact that the little kidney troubles are usually neglected until they become serious. The slight symptoms give place to chronic disorders and the sufferer goes gradually into the grasp of dropsy, Bright's disease, gravel or some other serious form of kidney complaint.
 If you suffer from backache, head aches, dizzy spells; if the kidney secre- tions are irregular of passage and un- natural in appearance, do not delay. Help the kidneys at once.

LARGE Cash PRIZES
FOR SPOKANE FAIR
Fruit and Poultry Raisers and
Ranchers in General Have
Chance for Easy Money

1t is surprising how many fruit and
poultry raisers and ranchers in gem
eral overlook the easy money to be
won at the various fairs and exhibi-
tons held in the Inland Empire. The
Herald has just received a copy of the
1911 premium list issued by the Spo-
kane Interstate Fair. October ? to 8.
which contains an unusually generous
list of cash prizes, amounting in all
to about $4,000. This money is
really to be given away as prizes on
live stock, agricultural products and
other exhibits and, doubtless. much of
it could be won by exhibitors in this
locality if they would take the trouble
to send in exhibits.
The Spokane fair management do
all they can to induce exhibitors to
come in. the railroads and express
companies make special reduced rates
on exhibits, and every question which
might arise is carefully explained in
this premium list, and yet only a very
small percentage of the people who
might exhibit successfully. do 50. Pos
sibly the fact that the prizes for this
18th annual Spokane fair have been
very largely increased may interest
new exhibitors this year. The apple
prizes alone amount to $i45S.50; an
increase of $500 over the amount Of
fered in 1910. and other department
also show substantial increases

list may he had free by addressing

CHICAGO PACKERS
REOPEN DEMURRER
Want Judge Carpenters Ruling
Set Aside in View of Supreme
Court Decision

CHICAGO, May 16.-On the
grounds that the federal supreme
courts Standard Oil decision over
rules the United States District Judge
Carpenters decision of May u. in
the beef packers cases here attor-
neys for the packers today filed per-
mission to appear tomorrow and re-
argue the demurrers which Judge
Carpenter ovcrruled. The whole mat
ter again is hung on the question OF
reading into the Sherman antitrust
law the w0rd 'rAsonable.' This
gave the beef attorneys their excuse
for the request to reopen the demur-
rer arguments. The attorneys in
cluded that argument when they pre-
scented the demurrers in what they
claim is almost the identical language
of the supreme courts Standard OIL
decision, but the court held against
this reasoning. They now appear t.
ask the court to admit IT erred in
light Of such application to the case
as the Standard Oil decision may
have.
The motion gave littla indication Of
the basis of the move, merely stating
the decision of Judge Carpenter is in
consistent with the supreme courts
decision. Packers in the original de-
murrer contended the restraint Of
trade called criminal in the sherman
act means "unreasona BILE restraint.
and the word, unreasonable" must
be read into the statute, otherwise
AZ GgaatnTX With
this as the premise the packers law
yers urged that the law which makes
it crime to enter into a contract IN
"uo,rasunabre' restraint II trade -
void fer uncertainty, in that it VIC
Iates the fifth and sixth amendments
ia the constitution. They contcpded
that the law which creates crime
must be so explicit that all men sub
iect to it's penalties may know what
acts it is their duty TO avoid.

DEMOCRATS IN HOUSE
ARE At LOGGERHEADS
Claimed That House Committee
on Rules Is Usurping the
Functions of House

WASHINGTON, u. c., May Ia
Charges that democratic members of
the house committee on rules were
seeking to usurp the functions of the
caucus by nominating members Of
the committees whiuh will investigate
the so-called steel and Sugar trusts
today created the most serious break
that has occurred in the democratic
ranks in the house since the opening
of congr ess. Chairman Henry was
denounced by representative Fitz-
gerald, chairman of the appropris-
tions committee, with having made
an "unwarranted assumption of au-
thority" for the rules committee.
Other democrats say the decision of
the rules committee if adopted by
the house, will be complete abro-
CATION of the principles for which
the democrats stood together, nam p
~, the selection of committees by the
acton of democratic caucuses.
Two lists have been prepared, one
for the steel trust committee and the
other for the sugar. The former was
adopted as a privileged resolution, in
troduced by Henry before the demo-
Gratis awoke to the fun effect of the
situation. A fight therefore was pre-
cipitated on the Sugar resolution. A
continuance of the struggle was fin
ally averted by Leader Underwood in
adjournins the house while the reso-
luton was still pending.
Representative Henry said about
$50 democrats had approved the
democratic lists and Minor y Leader
Mann had named the republican
members. He said there was no as
