D|sSOLVEs
BATHTUB TRUST
Supreme Law Body Holds Organise
ton Is Monopoly in Re
straint Of Trade.
SUsTAINS SHERMAN LAW
AGAINST PATENT RIGHTS
Decision Makes Precedent Which
Will Affect Pending
Suits.

The Supreme Court yesterday handed
down a decision involving the Sherman
antitrust law. which is second in i'm
pOrtance only to its findings in the
Standard Oh and Tobacco Trust cases.
For the first time the highest court has
sustained the application OF the Sher-
man antitrust law to a monopoly rest
| ing in part on rights secured by patents.
The decision will afford the government
weapon 10 prevent violations of the
antitrust statutes under the assumed
protection of the patent laws
The so-called Bathtub Trust, COM
posed Of manufacturers Of enamel ware,
was the monopoly involved. The court,
in an opinion read by Justice McKenna.
unanimously affirmed the decree of the
Federal court for the District of Mary
land. dlssolving the trust as an unlaw-
full combination in restraint Of trade.
In many respects the Bathtub Trust
case presented the same issues that are
involved in the United Shoe Machinery
case. and in the dissolution suit recently
begun by the government against the
moving picture film monopoly. To-day's
decision is likely to have an important
bearing on both these cases.
The government won a complete VIC
tory through yesterdays action OF the
court, and Attorney General Wicker
sham expressed great satisfaction.
Wickersham Congratulate Attorney
Attorney General Wickersham person
ally congratulated Z. p. Grovenor, As
sistant Attorney General. who prepared
the bill and has carried on the civil
case for the dissolution, and who also
had charge of the criminal suits brought
against some of the defendants in the
United States Court for the Eastern
District OF Michigan.
Since the decision OF the Supreme
Court establishing the rights of the own
ers of n patent. given in the Dick-Henry
Monograph case last spring. there has
been much doubt. even on part OF the
law officers OF the government, as to
just how far the highest court would go
in decreeing the dissolution OF those
combinations in which the monopoly
rests wholly or in part on rights Sc
cured by patents Tho decision today
made it very clear that the Supreme
Court will not permit a monopoly that
is enjoyed under a patent to be pervert-
ed to sanction unlawful trade agree
ments by which prices can be controlled
from the producer to the consumer and
all of the necessary power and Oppres-
sion of trade monopoly exercised.

Rochester. n. Y, Nov. IS.--The Ameri-

SMOKING to Be STONED.

Statistics gathered through investi-
CATION by the authorities of New York
city show that 3,245 fires in 1910 and
1882 in 1911 were caused by the care
lessness of smokers, mostly in places
OF industry. Fire Commissioner John
son. who has been studying the laws
relating to the prevention of fires, as
well as to their extinguishment, has
discovered a statute which forbids
acts which endanger the health or
safety of any considerable number OF
persons, and he is going to attempt to
make it applicable to smoking in fac
tories. He has therefore ordered 49,
600 notices-printed in English, Yid-
dish and Misunderstanding smoking
in factory buildings. These will be
universally distributed and followed
by vigilant and constant inspection to
prevent the violation of his order.

DON'T PULL OUT
THE GRAY HAIRS
"A Few Applications Of a Simple
Remedy Will Bring Back
The Natural Color.

Pull out one gray hair and a
dozen will take it's place. is an old
saying, which is, to a great extent,
true, if no steps are taken to stop
the cause. When gray hairs appear
it is a sign that Nature needs assist
ance 1t is Natures call for help.
Gray hair, dull, lifeless hair, or hair
that is falling out, is not necessarily
a sign of advancing age, for there
are thousands of elderly people with
perfect heads of haid without sin
gle streak of gray. -
When gray hairs come, Or when
the hair seems to be lifeless of dead,
some good, reliable hair-restoring
treatment should be resorted to at
once. Specialists say that one of
the best preparations to use is the
old-fashioned sage tea' which our
grandparents used. The best pre-
paration of this kind is Wyeth's Sage
and Sulphur Hair Remedy, a prep
aration of domestic sage and sui
phur, scientifically compounded with
later discovered hair tonics and slim
ulants, the whole mixture being
carefully balanced and tested by ex-
perts. *
Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur is clean
and wholesome and perfectly harm
less. 1t refreshes dry, parched hair,
removes dandruff and gradually re-
stores faded or gray hair to it's nat
ural color.
Don't delay another minute Start
using Wyeth's Sage and Sulphur at
once and see what a difference few
days treatment will make in your
hair.
This preparation is offered to the
public at fifty cents a bottle, and is
recommended and sold by all drug
dists.
