THE LAW AND ITS CONTRADICTIONS.

SE>HE old hymn tells us that God moves IN mysterious
way his wonders to perform" In this respect Alner
car Judges and American laws are similar TO DEITY
though no one would inSinuate that either were gou
like The laws assert one thing and the courts find way
toipnore it. For instance under laws person can
not be imprisoned for debt The constitution PROVIDES
that Yet the Judges get around this and send person to
ja indefinitely for contempt of court in refusing to obey
the courts orders and pay debt
man is found guilty of some minor offense and sent
enced to pay fine in lieu thereof goes to jail one day
for each and every of the 81 OF the debt until 1t IS PAID
IF he has the money he pays the debt to the state the
amount being fixed by the judge and goes free II ne has
not the money to pay this debt which the Judge has Gre
ated for him. he is imprisoned until it is paid There is
getting around the fact that 1t is Imprisonment Tor
debt How then does it square with the constitution!
The system by which any offense against the law pun
ished by fine is in the nature Of things class legislation
1t is such because the wealthy person is made to pay
certain be punished and the person unable to pay
has to take such punishment as is meted out to him. The
has choice to whether he will be punished and the
other has none for the filming of person who has plenty
of money is no punishment at all.
1t is another boast that the law is respecter Of per-
sons. This may be true but it certainly makes great
distinction to the treatment of persons For instance
just now all over the country officers watching to
rest Saemite who recently passed some worthless
checks and skipped leaving several of our business men
holding the sack This is right and the person should be
apprehended and punished.
AT the time there the gang that robbed the New
Haven railroad stockholders out of more than $2O0000
000 who spent $10000O0 that no one even knows what
for the gang also burned the books concerning the
transactions but one is looking for them They in
sight They did not run away They had so much plumber
they couldn't run if they wanted to.
They not lodging and hiding from the officers of
the law. Why? The answer is easy. Because they have
the choice OF being punished or not they found
guilty. Because the courts will say to them unless you
pay the state much for permitting you to rob other
folks you must to jail for contempt of court The state
thus becomes party to the crime and takes very small
license fee in the way of fine for permitting wholesale
robbery to be carried with no fear of punishment pro-
vided the criminals such big SCALE The law and
many of the judges to both have the utmost con-
tempt for petty crimes and mete out the severest punish
ment to perpetrators thereof but for grand larceny of
real magnificent sort each has seemingly profound adj
miration and friendly feeling

MEAT INJURIOUS
TO THE KIDNEYS
Take a tablespoonful OF Salts if Back
hurts or Bladder bothers-Meat
forms uric acid.

We are nation of meat eaters and
our blood is filled with uric acid, says
well known authority, who warns us
to be constantly oD guard against Kid
ney trouble.
The kidneys do their utmost to free
the blood of this Irritating acid, but
become weak from the overwork; they
get sluggish; the eliminative tissues
clog and thus the waste is retained in
the blood to poison the entire system.
When your kidneys ache and feel
like Jumps of lead, and you have
singing pains in the back or the urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, or the
bladder is irritable, obliging you to
seek relief during the night; when
you have severe headaches, acid stom.
aeh or rheumatism in bad weather, get
from your pharmacist about four
ounces of Jad Salts; take tablespoon
full in glass of water before break
fast each morning and in few days
your kidneys will act fine. This fa-
nous salts is made from the acid of
grapes and lemon juice, combined with
hthia, and has been used for genera
tons to flush and stimulate elogged
kidneys, to neutralize the acids in urine
so it is no longer a source of irritation,
thus ending urinary and bladder disor-
ders.
Jad Salts is inexpensive and can not
injnre; makes delightful effervescent
lithia'water drink, and nobody can
make mistake by taking little oe-
easionally to keep the kidneys clean
and active.
