DECISION ANNULS LONG
AND SHORT HAUL RATES.
Handed Down BY Judge MeKenna OF
the Supreme Court.


Washington. April 17.-Justice Nc
Kenna of the supreme court upon the
application of the department of JUS
tice stayed the effect Of the Northern
California federal district courts de-
cision annulling long and short haul
rates across the continent.
The lower court annulled the Inter
state Comerce Commission orders
putting the rates into fleet on the
ground that the commission had ev-
ceeded its jurisdiction in approving
them. Justice MCKenna's action keeps
the rates in effect until the supreme
court reviews the district courts de-
cision.
The orders were IN outgrowth OF the
famous inter-mountain rate cases, in
which the supreme court upheld the
right of the commission to divide the
country into zones and adjust long and
short hauls accordingly.
After the supreme courts decision.
the trans-continental railroads applied
for the privilege OF charging lower
rates on haUls on n large number of
articles to 49, cities on the Pacific
ais. than was charged on hauls TO
intermediate cities. The commission
investigated the application, particu-
| larly with regard to the effect of the
opening of the Panama Canal. II
| finally denied the application Of the
railroads except as to hauls to San
Diego. Wilmington. East Wilmington
| San Pedro. San Francisco, Oakland
Portland, Tacoma and Seattle The
railroads We're directed to file rates in
accordance with its decision. AS soon
as the roads had fled them they ap-
piled TO the California district court
to enjoin their enforcement. This was
done and the government appealed &c
| the supreme court.
The Judges in the lower court held
they had no authority to keep the rates
j in effect during the appeal. In asking
I Justice McEenna to stay the decree
| of annulment. the department of JUS
| tice stated that il he rates were i.n.
/ nulled no legal rates would remain and
the railroads would either be liable in
/ contempt of court.

SAYS HOT WATER
WASHES POISONS
FROM THE LIVER
Everyone should drink hot water
with phosphate In IT,
before breakfast.

To feel as fine as the proverbial
fiddle, we must keep the liver washed
clean, almost every morning, to pre-
vent it's sponge-like pores from clog
ging with indigestible material, sour
bile and poisonous toxins, says a noted
physician.
II you get headaches, it's your liver.
If you catch cold easily, it's your liver.
If you wake UP with bad taste, furred
tongue, nasty breath or stomach be-
comes rancid, it's your liver. Sallow
skin, muddy complexion, watery eyes
all denote liver uncleanliness. Your
liver is the most important, also the
must abused and neglected organ OF
the body. Few know it's function OF
how to release the damned-up body
waste, bile and toxins. Most folks
resort to violent calomel, which is a
dangerous, salivating chemical which
can only be used occasionally because
it accumulates in the tissues, also
attacks the bones.
Every man and woman, sick OF
well, should drink each morning be-
fore breakfast, a glass of hot water
with a teaspoonful of limestone phos-
phate in it, to wash from the liver and
bowels the previous days indigestible
material, the poisons, sour bile and
toxins; thus cleansing, sweetenins
and freshening the entire alimentary
canal before putting more food into
the stomach.
Limestone phosphate does not re.
strict the diet like calomel. because i
can not salivate, for it is harmless and
you can eat anything afterwards. L
is inexpensive and almost tasteless
and any pharmacist will sell you
quarter pound, which is sufficient To-
a demonstration Of how hot water anC
and freshens the liver, keeping yol
feeling fit day in and day out.
