Many remedies are recommended
for diseases of the nervous system
that fail to produce results because
they do not reach the seat Of the
trouble. DR.. Miles Nervine has
proven its value in such cases so
many times that it is unnecessary
to make claims for it. You can

who will return the price il you

BATHTUB TRUST
 FILES DEMURRER

Detroit, Mich, January 3o-Thirty-tws defendants in the criminal case brought by the government against the so-called bathtub trust, today entered a demurrer in the local federal court. In the demurrer 1t Is charged that the allegations of the indictment do not con stitute an offense under the laws and sovereignty of the United States that no offense is alleged or stated in which the court has Jurisdictions; that no particular acts are charged to individuals and that the indictment in every count is infor- nal. insufficient and defective.
 The grand jury on December 6, 1910, re- turned two indictments against each de- fendant containing six and four counts, respectively, and charged that the de- fendants control S5 per cent of the an- nual output of enamel iron ware, bath tubs, sinks, lavatories, etc, in the United States. It is also alleged that the de- fendants combined to restrain the trade of manufacturers and jobbers of plumb ing supplies by refusing to sell to job bers handling the goods of so-called inde- pendents, by the fixing of resale prices, by the division of the United States into Il zones and refusing to sell to jobbers who would not maintain the resale prices established by the alleged agreement of the defendants.
 The indictments were returned against 16 firm and 34 individuals. All but two of the individuals, J. l.. Mott of New York and l.. Wolff of Chicago pleaded not guilty. Service upon Mir. Mott and Mir Wolff has been deferred indefinitely owing to their illness. It was expected that the case would come to trial in the term of The federal court beginning March '.

BANK DEPOSITS FALL OFF BUT
 RESERVES SHOW LARGE GAINS

Washington, January 30.-Depesits of individuals in the 72o0 national banks of the United States decreased sl91 ,566, 4Ss between November 10 and January "a situation probably unprecedented in the reports made to the comptroller of the currency.
 Of that sum, more than si5s, ,ooo,000 was withdrawn from the 39 national banks of New York city. No two officials of the treasury agree as to where the money rfef,-, soans arc Of the opinion rnat pat of 1t might have gone to strengthen the New York state banks and trust com panies during the furry caused by the so-called Robin failure early in the month.
 All of the treasury officials, however, expressed great interest in what explana- ton the New York bankers might give.
 A comparison with the national banks of Chicago shows that the drop was con fined almost entirely to New York city. The Il Chicago banks reported a loss of about s9,OO0,OOO on individual deposits. The reserve banks of the Western and Pacific states and the New England states all show losses, but comparatively small ones. ft
 The unexpected call of January served to show the condition of the banks in a new angle. Not once before since 1879 have they been called upon so early in the year. There were no January calls

whatever from 1890 to 1903 and there has been none since 1907.
 Some officials think if the call had been made as usual, late in the month or early in February, the money, if it were withdrawn for dividend payments, would have found it's way into the banks again. One peculiar aspect of the drop was that the New York banks alone lost as much as the combined banks of the country had gained in November.
 Another feature of the situation which greatly puzzles the treasury experts Is that in. spfe Of the enormous slump in deposits the banks are still holding a were in November and the total loss in loans and discounts of the whole coun- try has been only $4S, 100000, while there has been gain in cash of more than $2O, O,0Oo,000.
 The last call in November showed a loss in loans and discounts and loss In cash of $35,000.000.
 The banks of the south are about the only ones showing gains of deposits. That is said to be because they are now being paid for cotton. Reductions of loans is the rule, however, all over the country and this is said necessarily fol- lows such a sharp reduction of deposits.
 Still with all the reductions the banks are now holding $67000,000 more in their reserves than is required by law. On the whole the showing is pronounced good, but the disappearance of $15S, 100000 from the banks of New York is a great puzzle to the treasury officials None of them cared to express an opinion for publication.

Springfield, H., January 30.-On the con- vening of Sanamon county circuit court this morning Judge Owen P. Thompson commenced the hearing of the trial of State Senator Stanton c. Pemberton and ex-Representative Joseph G.

 Pemberton and Clark were members of special commission authorized by the general assembly to purchase the new equipment and former Senator Holstlaw confessed to the Sangamon county grand jury that he, Pemberton and Clark were to share in a reward for awarding the contract to the Ford-Johnson company, a Chicago firm. The jury before whom the former trial was heard failed to reach an agreement.

BIG VICTORY FOR
 GOVERN MENT IN
 RAILROAD CASE

New Orleans, January 30.-The, gov ernment won sweeping victory, to- day in a novel test case of the inter- state commerce act when jury in the federal district court returned a verdict of guilty against the Texas and Pacific railroad on two indictments. embracing five counts. The charges against the railroad were that in the guise of storage charges freight rates in excess of those approved by the com mission were charged on grain ship ments from Missouri and Arkansas points to New Orleans.
 The penalty which the court may impose ranges from 5000 to $20,O0o fine on each count.
 It is stated that the railroad will be called upon to pay back all such excess charges collected. amounting, according to the government agents to thousands of dollars.
 Assistant District Attorney Wauges- peck, who conducted tie prosecution, expressed the belief that an investiga- tion will disclose the operation in other parts of the country of similar schemes on the part of the railroads to collect freight rates in excess of those laid down in the tariff sch hedules
 . It was shown that the Texas and Pacific Railroad company charged storage on cars of grain while be- ing held at Westwego. in transit when the actual destination of such cars was New Orleans. It was testified that as soon as these car shipments reached Westwego. across the river from New Orleans. the consignee was notified of the "arrival' of his goods and storage charges applied from the day following such notice, regardless of the fact that, in some instances, the shipments would not be delivered in New Orleans per- haps until several weeks thereafter.
 Judge w. I. Grubb. who presided, charged the jury that railroad com pany has, no right to charge storage until its relations as carrier had ceased and those of warehouseman had been entered into. and that is not un- til the freight has been received at the accustomed place of delivery"
 c. N. Brady, special agent. and George M. Crosland, in charge of the freight tariff files of the interstate com. merce- commission. assisted MT. Wauge- speck in the prosecution of the case.
