SUPREME COURT CHANGES.

There IL not a single member of the
Supreme Court of President Harrisons
day now serving on the bench. Twen-
ty-siX years is not long time for
continuity of service in the lower
courts. There are hundreds of Judges
appointed at the age of 80 who are
still in full mental vigor at 20. and not
a few cases of this kind are to be
found in the lower federal and State
courts. Even Chief Justice White
however, is able to point to a judicial
record of only 2G years. He was ap-
pointed by Cleveland in February
1894, and all the members with whom
he was associated at that time have
passed away. President Taft had the
honor of appointing fun majority of
the supreme Court in the course of his
four years in office. He appointed
Justices Hughes, Van Devanter, Lamar
and Putney, President Wilson has already
made two appointments-McRe Is
and Brandcis, and now has another
appointment to make. Despite all the
changes that have taken place in re-
cent years, more cases were disposed
of by the Supreme Court during its
recent term than in any other term
since 1890. \ total of SAL cases were
decided. while in 1890 there were 6lO
cases. There still remain on the
docket SEE cascs.-Thomas f. Logan in

has quarantined in all about a dozen
places in this city where children have
come from New York to get away from

to isolate the children from children in

in contact and to whom they might
carry the disease without being i'll with

The fame of Tanlac, the Master
Medicine has reached out over a
greater part Of the United
States. Every day men and
women send orders by mail, Or
visit the cities where Tanlac is
on sale to buy the much talked Of
medicine. j. H. Haskell, a
well-known farmer of Lamont,
Oklahoma, stopped in the Dock
UNI Drug Store at Wichita the
other day to see the Tanlac
man and to get a supply of Tan
lac to take with him to Belvidere,
Kansas, where he was going on
a visit. Mr.. Haskell took ad-
vantage Of his visit to express
his appreciation for what Tanlac
had done for him. He said:
Il certainly feel proud of what
Tanlac did in my case. l have
had a pretty hard time for the
last few years with kidney trou-
Bile and rheumatism, and at
times thought | would have to
give up. Whenever l lifted any
thing heavy l would have a
catch in my back and could
hardly straighten up. l had Sc
we're pains around my kidneys
and hips, and when l sat down

or the use Of a cane.
