COURT STOPS TRADE
IN SPURIOUS CURES
Supreme Tribunal IphOlds
Federal Act Restraining Such
Interstate Commerce.

WAsH,~GroS. Jan. lo.--The Supreme
Court handed down unanimous de-
cision to-day giving vitality To the food
and drugs act. The opinion uphoids 'he
validity OF the Sheriey amendment
passed IN August. lsl2
The legislation followed a decision OF
tho court I'm the "Dr. johnson cancer
cure case" in which the Government lost
i,s suit. In that case Justice Day con-
strued the food and drugs act as being
upplicabla only to Measurements as 10
the ingredients In "cure" or medicine.
Allegations or msstatemen,s as 10 the
therapeutic or curative properties OF the
mixture were then held to he not false
or fraudulent" representations within
the meaning of the food ana drugs act
such as would warrant libel
Congress thereupon passed the Sher-
lev amendment intended to remedy this
defect. The case before the court to-
day was the first that has come to the
Supreme Court under the Sherley
amendment and involved the validity or
| that enactment which the court upheld
Tho Shorley amendment says ship
ment shall be held to be misbranded

~ us package or label shall bear
| or contain any statement design or
| device regarding the curative or thera-
| na,,,ic effect of such article ur any in
| grediepts or substances contained
| therein which Is false and fraudulent.
| The libel which precipitated the pres
ent case arose in December. lsl2. when
tho Eckman Manufacturing Company OF
chicago shipped to Omaha. Neb., GER
tain packages of bottles OF "Eckmans
| Aueratiye' The bottles were accom-
nnnied by a circular which described the
remedy as follows;
| corrective as a preventive for pneu-
monia.' Also I'VE know that II has
cured and will cure tuberculosis"
The Government alleged that these
| concentrations in the circulars were In
violation Of the statute. for they made
uniustif,able claims for the mixture.
In dismissing the contention made or
beha,f Of the Eckman Manufacturing
Company that the Sherley amendment
was an Invasion OF the police powers o.

THRIFT 7 TALK,
ACQUIRE THE
HABIT EARLY
WHILE THE BODY is HEALTHY
AND THE MIND VIGOROUS -
THRIFT MEANS BETTER HOMES,
MORE COMFORTS.

The trouble with a great many peo-
pie is they expect to acquire good
habits in old age, while they spend
most of their youth in cultiyating
bad ones. It is so easy to postpone
doing the things that are hard until
tomorrow, and so easy to drift along
today. Not only Is hell paved with
good intentions but the pathway OF
the average man is strewn with the
wrecks of good Intentions. The
whole scheme or right living contem-
plates that man should not put Off
until tomorrow the things he should
do today.
One of the habits we hope to ac-
oure some time is thrift. This habit
often comes late in life-not always
from choice but often from necessity.
Having satisfied habits that are de-
structive, when the passions are burn
ed out of decaying mind and body,
men find themselves more or less
free from temptations, and mistake
n nickering flame for a ripening Vir-
tue. Any habit which Is forced Is
likely to find itself in an unhealthy

environment. and becomes meaning
less in its practice,
Before you can practice a virtue,
you must desire the results which
that virtue brings, and understand
the process through which it comes.
Many man has gone to his doom
because he hoped to stop drinking,
or gambling, some day, but his hope
never got to the point of action.
Frequently you will find standing
alone, or in groups, on a wind-swept
plain, trees with no branches on
what the sailor would call the wind
ward side and leaning sharply in
the direction in which the wind
blows. This has been no sudden
process. For years the north wind
has blown gently or iiercely against
the tree, so that little by little 1t
becomes distorted in shape, until 1t
has become its habit to grow lopsided.
No bad habit is acquired in an in
stant-it is a subtle process, little
oy little becoming so fixed that the
nature becomes distorted, like lne
tree, battling in vain against an ad'
verse wind.
If this habit of thrift is to be a
wholesome, sweet and fruitful one, 1t
must be acquired while the body is
healthy. and the mind vigorous. 1t
must not be dying reformation. It's
best work can be done when the
earning power is greatest, the resist
ing power strongest, and the future,
it may be, afar off.
No man ever becomes a spendthritt
at single leap. The wasteiul habits
which he allows to grow become so
fixed that, struggle as he may, ana
wish as hard as he might, he can not
change his nature. Old age may com
pel thriftiness because there is moth
ing more to waste, but the saddest
commentary on human life is to find
at the close nothing stored up of en-
ergy. money, or property, for when
the best years of life have been
given.
Thrift is composite virtue. II
includes the desirable attributes OF
economy, self denial and saving; but
if is no relative to niggardliness or
meanness. The man who would let
his grandmother starve is not a
thrifty man. but brute. Any virtue
carried to extremes becomes undesir-
able and no longer virtue. The
thrift that does not make a man
charitable nours into avarice, Thrift
means better homes, better citizens,
more comforts, more enjoyment, little
waste, little anXiety,-peace. Out
of it grows productive energy steady
courage, opportunity, Independence
self respect, aimfulness in life, man
hood. 1t is the one material habit
that has no shady side. 1t is ac-
nuired little by little-a steady press
ure lin the right direction) until IL
becomes secopd nature to save, anu
thrift becomes habit.

Good Dispositions.

In the Woman's Home Companion
we learn that to give baby a good
disposition the first step is to keep
aim free from nerves "One mother
accounted for her baby's peaceful
frame of mind" we read, by saying
that until he was three months old he
was ignored! That seems absurd, yet
there is an element of truth in it. a
baby is an excitable little being. 1t
wants to play and be played with, and
Il means real self-denial on the part
of household to refrain from kissing
and cuddling and romping with the
,aby. But the more a baby is left to
itself, provided ii is comfortable and
we'll, the better for its nerves. 1t
must sleep many long hours in fresh
air, and, of course, if it is excited and
stimulated, it will not want to settle
down to its daily nap, nor at bedtime
after romp, will it want to go to
sleep alone and in the dark. Rest

are the things needed to establish
