COTTON CORNER ILLEGAL.
James A. Patten and Others Must Now Stand Trial-Justice Van Devan-
 ter Reads Opinion.

The United States supreme court de- cided in the cotton pool case of James A. Patten and others that there is a power in the Sherman law to punish persons who run a corner in commod- ity. The opinion was read by Associ- ate Justice Van Devanter.
 The decision reverses the judgment of the federal court for the southern district of New York, which sustained demurrer to certain counts in the indictment The decision of the court below held that the counts called in question did not constitute an offense under the Sherman law because there was no direct restraint of trade The supreme court holds this to be error and finds that there was such indi- rect but necessary restraint of trade as to come within the meaning of the law

HEALTH HINTS.
ByA. j. Booker.

: u
The first days of chilly weather are
apt to prove trying to people, and es-
pccially children. The gradual change
to GOODNESS is not q signal to bundle
up. but to accustom ene's self 10 the
weather. Nature is kind and if we
will only trust her We will fare better
BY keeping the windows open at night
we will be able to continue the prac-
tice in colder weather. These first
DAYS of cold weather are apt to bring
on a little STIFFNESS Of the head in
those whose turbinate bones and ton
sis are large. These turbinate bones
are in the sides of the nose and the
tissue covering them is loose and
flabby; when little irritation comes
they often swell and obstruct the air
passage. First one side, then the
other. If one has large tonsils or is
affected by turbinate bones becoming
congested, the sane thing to do is to
have the tonsils removed or the tur-
binate bones cauterized. Mufflers and
flannels will not help the cause.
Many people fear that because they
have catarrh they are doomed to tu-
berculosis. These advertisements
about catarrh leading to consumption
is an art of quack doctors who de-
pend upon frightening people into
treatments.
Most reputable physicians are sat-
isfed to tell people the truth, without
exaggeration. Some exaggerate con-
ditions in order to make their "cures"
appear more wonderful. It is the
duty of a physician to teach people
how to keep away from medicine; to
establish the habit of thinking health
and good rather than dwelling on dis
ease. A little common sense must
temper this advice; it is better to see
a physician and have him tell you,
if he is honest, that condition is not
serious than to wait too long. Get
an honest man and the fewer trips he
makes to you or you to him the better
satisfied both will be. Think health.
think happiness, keep we'll, eat well,
but do not eat too much; get proper
rest.
Above all things keep away from
chest protectors. They do more harm
than good. Train yourself now to be
a friend to nature; let the cold air
brace you up. Women. as rule,
dress more sensibly than men. Men
we.r heavy suits and get accustomed
to them in the house, and often keep
up mild Precipitation, with their adj
ditional heavy underwear. Women
depend upon their wraps when they
go out and get along better. Good
sense and ones own feelings dictate
what they shall wear, rather than
fashion Hardy people, who wear their
summer underwear and low shoes all
winter only demonstrate their super
ior mental and physical qualities.
Everyone to his taste"
If your feet are cold at night it is
no disgrace to use a hot water bottle.
