REGULATE SHIP.
 MENT MEDICINE
It Is Expected that Result of the Decision of the Highest Tribu-
 nal Many Prosecutions of Drug
 Firms Will Follow.

Washington, Jan. 10.-After ten years of legislation and litigation the supreme court decided today that con- gress had enacted finally a constitu- tional law regulating statements as to the curative effects of medicines in interstate commerce.
 The decision was rendered by Jus tice Hughes. Numerous actio S .against drug concerns are expected to follow.
 For time it was urged by gov ernment officials that the 1916 pure food law designated as "misbrand- 'ed' drugs or medicines which were accompanied in interstates commerce by knowingly false statements about the curative effects of the compounds.
 The count decided that the 1906 law applied only as to the misbrand- ing or false identity of the compo- sition of drugs; then congress in 1912 enacted the Shirley amendment which the supreme court held today struck precisely at mis-statements or in print ed circulars accompanying.
 "We find no ground" said Justice Hughes, "for saying that congress may not condemn interstate transpor- tation of swindling preparations ac- companied by false and fraudulent statements as well as lottery tickets" "
 The decision was announced in the case of Chicago drug concern which shipped medicine from Chicago to Omaha described in an accompanying circular as it knew had cured and would cure tuberculosis.

Wild Parsnip A Deadly Poison.

Wild parsnip is not the common
garden parsnip that has escaped from
cultivation and grown wild. The lat

a tap root What is commonly called
wild parsnip' is the Wyoming water
hemlock (cicuta occidentalis) which
greatly resembles the garden parsnip

cluster of roots.
