The famous decisions of the Supreme
Court which determined the cases
against the Standard Oil and tobacco
companies elected the approval of
everybody desiring governmental regu-
lation of trusts; but the proposition
written In the decision by the Chief
Justice to. the effect that the Court
should decide all similar cases of more
or less Importance, which may be
brought before it, according to the
reasonahleness or unreasonableness APP
parent to that body is quite another
matter, although in the cases tried there
was nothing contrary to the spirit of
our laws. 1t is the possibilities of the
proposition to rule according to the
dictates OF the mind of the judicial body
that creates question. And it is
matter equally as important as were any
one of the propositions discussed pre-
vious to the writing of the Constitu-
ton. For if the Supreme Court should
extend its own power and responsibility
to a greater extent-as it might easily
do through consideration of CAFES more
difficult than was the Standard Oil case,
because of uncertainty as to what
measure of restraint of trade is actually
necessary in some particular of the tre-
mendous process of production, and in
the means OF distribution of such pro-
ducts-the statement that: "This is a
government of laws, not men,, can no
longer be regarded as a cherished prin-
ciple. A principle which is almost as
dear to many earnest men as are reli-
gious principles to host of other citi-
zens.
Government of the trusts by the
Supreme Court, as at present constituted
or under any possible change in the per,
sonnet, might not result in any more
harm to the general welfare than could

vision Of the law which DEGREES that !:
avery contract, combination in the

IN restraint OF trade or commerce,
among the several states, or with foreign
nations, is hereby declared to be illegal.
And besides that provision and a great
deal more of the kind, and mention of
the penalties that must be inflicted, the
law provides that any person who shall
be injured in his business or property by
any other person or corporation, by rea-
son of anything forbidden or declared to

Settle Demurrsee Problem.

That much discussed demurrage
question has reached point where some
more permanent settlement must be ar
rived at, and to this end general meet
ing Of New England shippers and
receivers of freight will be held in hos
ton in the latter part Of this month.
Some time since, at meeting called
by the Boston Chamber Of Commerce,
Frederick II. Babbitt of this place aP-
peared before the interstate commerce
commission aud presented the claims oil
Vermont business interests in highly
convincing manner. As result OF the
opening shot fired by Mr.. Rabbit, and
ably seconded by others, New England
secured the appointment of an impartial
demurrage commissioner, to consider
and adjust questions of dispute and to
construe the rules. Those who are not
familiar with the working of demurrage
rules possibly do not appreciate the
varying interpretations which might DE
made by different persons, OF the same
rule; for instance, rule that provides
for the waving of demurrage charges
on account Of weather conditions must
from its very nature, be subject to dit
ferent interpretations; this is only
typical example of many such question:
constantly arising, in which the iudg
ment of an impartial person is essentia
for satisfactory settlement.

NOT A BRITISH UNIT IN IT

Allow the Possibility of Such
Thing.

George Mockler has just returned
from an investigation of what coal
is costing some of the other cities.
He brought this story from Balti-
more:
An Irishman there inherited coal
mine up in the state. He immedi-
ately entered the lists for one of the
big coal contracts and went around
to say good word for his coal.
The man who was letting the con-
tract heard him a moment. and then
interrupted with:
That's all right, but how about
British thermal units?"
The other being new to the coal
business, did not know that coal Is
rated now according to the British
thermal units in tests.
"Phat's that" he said
How many British thermal units
are there in your coal?"
The Irishman blinked his eye and
snorted a bit.
British thermal units is it?" he
said. "Why there amt wan in it."

Tuberculosis Patients Neglected.

Out of more than 225 public hos
pitals for the insane, with popula-
tion of fully 10000, only 70, or less
than one-third, make any provision
for their tuberculous inmates, and
this, too, in spite of the fact that the
percentage of deaths from this disease
Is very high among this class of peo-
pie. Such is the substance of state
ment made recently by the National
Association for the Study and Proven
tion of tuberculosis. Seventy hos
pitfalls in 2S states, providing all told
about 1850 beds for tuberculosis in
sane patients, sums up the provision
made for this class of sufferers, al
though the percentage of deaths from
tuberculosis among the insane ranges
from so to 200 per cent. higher than
among the general population.

BAD SHOEING
INJURIES FEET
Other Troubles Cause Horses to
Step GinSerIy When Ex-
tended-Good Remedy
Is Recommended
By ]. BAILEY BRUCE1

Owing to bad shoeing and also
many other causes many horses suffer
with contracted feet
The heels are narrowed and the
horse steps gingerly with a desire to
extend himself when forced to trot or
gallop.
The writer is now using a horse 81
years old and when he drove him for
the first time in December last saw
that he experienced great difficulty in
extending himself and especially on
rough or stony roads.
He was shod with heel calks on the
front as well as the hind feet and it
was very perceptible that the heels of
his front feet We're too narrow.
After three unsuccessful trials with
regular blacksmiths the horse was ex-
amined by competent veterinary sur
geon who pronounced his trouble to
be contracted heels.
He had them shod perfectly level in
front, springs were placed in between
the back of his shoes to keep tht heels
spread and n piece of sole leather was
tackled across the hllows of the hoof
below the hoof and the shoes to pro
tect the sole of the foot and break
the jar of travelling on rough and stony
places.
About once of twice a week a hoof
ointment consisting of one pint of
Meats foot oil with two tablespoon
fuls of oil of tar was applied on the
outside of the front feet with soft
rag and then, raising the edge of the
leather, little is poured over the
sole of the foot and few drops in
the heel cleft.
Since the last shoeing and followins
the treatment above described the
horse has improved wonderfully in his
| road work and rarely fiinches, even
going at 12-mile-an-hour slip.

HIS BRAVE ACT UNREWARDED

gether Too Much for Heiress to
Overlook.

They were a pleasant party at the
country house, and 1t was only nat
ural that Harvey Hardupp should
fall in love with Clarissa Coyne, the
heiress.
One afternoon they went for a row
on the river, but their boat struck a
floating tree and sank, leaving them
struggling in the water.
Mad with terror, she threw her
arms around his valiant neck, almost
strangling him. But he was deter
mined to save her, so raising his fist
he struck her twice, making her un-
conscious, and thus enabling him to
save her.
She was carried to her room, and
next day, when Harvey called, this
note was handed to him:
'Sir-I quite admit that 1t was
necessary to make me unconscious
in order to save me, but you might
have been careful not to black both
my eyes. We part forever!-C.

PorzLand Cement does
not come from Portland,
Maine, or Portland, Ore
gon, and it was not first
made at either of these
places. 1t is called Portland
because it was given this name
by the Englishman who first
made it. He called it Portland
because he thought it resembled GER
tain natural deposits on the Isle of Port
land in England. Portland Cement is
the fine powder produced by pulver-
izing the clinker resulting from the
burning together of various materials of prop
er chemical composition. In the case of
Unizsr5ai Portland Cement, these raw mater
ials are blast furnace Stag and pure limestone.
