RACE SEGREGATION GETS
COURT JOLT.
Acts Barring Negroes Is Declared To
Violate Federal Constitution.

Washington, D. c., Nov. 5.-Com-
pulsory separation of the Negro and
white races in residential districts is
a violation of the constitution, the su-
preme court held today in an unani-
nous opinion declaring invalid the
Louisville, KY, segregation ordi-
names. The measure, which prohibit
ed persons of either race moving into
blocks in which a majority of resi-
dents were of the opposite color, is
similar to ordinances now in effect in
St. Louis, Baltimore, Richmond and
many other southern cities.
Such laws, the court decided, would
not prevent the amalgamation of the
races as was claimed by the Louis
vile authorities, or prevent race con-
ficts.
"Desirable as this is and important
~ is the preservation of the public
peace" said the opinion, "this aim
cannot be accomplished by laws or
ordinances which deny rights created
or protected by the federal constitu-
ton. Laws providing for the separa-
ton of races in public conveyances
and in the public schools where equal
privileges gre given, the court pointed
out, have been upheld, but it asserted
that such legislation must have its
limitations and cannot be sustained
where the exercise of authority ex-
ceeds the restraint Of the constitution.
The courts action was reversal Of
the lower court, which held the ordi-
nance to be a reasonable exercise of

An Old Mans Stomach.

AS we grow older and less active,
less and less food is required to meet
the demands of our bodies. If too
much is habitually taken, the stomach
will rebel. When a man reaches the
advanced age of 85 or 80, you will FIND
that he is light eater. Be as careful
as you will, however, you will occas
ionally eat more than you should and
will feel the need Of Chamberlain's
Tablets to correct the disorder. These
tablets do not contain pepsin, but
strengthen the stomach and enable It
to perform it's functions naturally.
They also cause gentle movement OF
the bowels.

feeding will be established on a large
scale in London this month. under the
direction of the food controller. The
kitchen of the largest hotel in London
will be utilized for preparing the food.
which will be distributed over a wide
area by means of local depots.
The intention at present is not so
much to provide cheap food for poor
persons. as to provide economically
prepared food for all classes. the idea
being thus to conserve available sup
plies. Mrs. Pember Reeves, woman di-
rector of the food controllers ONCE,
defined the purpose of the new move
as follows:
I'VE shall have a central kitchen
