states the result was permanent. Can
any sufferer from kidney ills ask bet
ter proof? You can investigate. The
case is right at home. John M. Wat
son, Main St., Smryna, Del, says
"Six years ago it was my misfortune
to have an injury and after that l was
affected omy kidneys and back and
was in misery. Since procuring

are that the apples are finer In quail
ity than last year. The orchard at
the institution for feeble-minded at
Glenwood is yielding heavily OF
Wine Saps, Grimes Golden and Will
low Twigs, and also of Jonathans,
Of which variety it was believed
there would be few apples this year.
Mr.. Colbert, who Is the gardener at
the state institution, says they will
have a good yield of all these varie-
ties. He says the Jonathans are not
as thick on the trees as last year,
but they are large, plump, sound
and of unusual good quality. Other
orchardists in Mills county report
the same thing.
At the state institution they have
just finished their crop of grapes.
The yield was eighteen tons and the
fruit had market value of over
$1,000. The fruit was utilized at
the institution.

THE PENALTY IS MADE PLAIN

Washington, D. c., Sept. 27.-At-
torney General Wickersham yester.
day sent to Postmaster General
Hitchcock written opinion on GER.
tain phases of the new federal law
4 requiring daily and weekly news
papers and some other publications
to present to the postmaster gener-
al semi-annual sworn statements of
circulation, ownership of their stock
and bonds and other Information
under penalty of denial of the use OF
the mails
The attorney general upholds the
postmaster generals construction
that 1t is immaterial whether sub
seriptions are individual or in bulk
and that the provision of the law
covers the number OF copies of a
publication distributed to certain
paid subscribers by any means. Mr..
understands opinion, prepared at
the direction Of President Taft, does
not touch upon the constitutionality
Of the law, which is part of the post
sfice appropriation bill enacted at
the last session of congress.
Mr.. Hitchcock inquired whether
the law shall be limited to paid
individual subscriptions or shall in
clude purchases in bulk by news
agents or others for redistribution;
also whether in your opinion the
provision covers paid circulation Of
daily newspapers or distributed
through the mails?"
1--WE shall administer the law
justly and impartially, as we find
it," said Mr.. Hitchcock yesterday.
THE opinion by the attorney gen
eral upholds the construction plac-
ed upon the law by officers of the
postoffice department. We have no
alternative; we must enforce it.
To-day we are beginning to mail
to 100000 editors, publishers and
others interested, forms to be filled
out in compliance with the law.
These will reach their destinations
by Oct. /, when the law becomes eff
fective. Under the act they must
be filled out and returned as soon
as practicable. In the event of fail
ure to comply with the provisions
Of the law publishers may be liable
to the penalty provided by con-
gress."
Attorney General Wickersham's
opinion starts out with review OF
the law itself and the questions
raised by the postmaster general. He
refers first to the provision requir-
ing sworn statement of subscrip-
lions and writes as follows:
The provision is highly penal in
its nature, as consequence OF fall
ure to comply with 1t Is punished
by denying to the publication the
privilege of the mails; not merely
the privilege of being carried In the
mails as second class mail matter,
but the privilege of being carried In
the mails at all. Being. therefore,
In derogation of common right. the
provision should not be construed
to embrace anything more than falls
clearly within its terms and by
those terms the requirements Of the
statement are limited to the average
OF the number of copies of each is
sue OF such publication sold or dis
tributed to paid subscribers during
the preceding six months.
