Two Cent Decision
 of Court Not Final
CBv Review Leased Wire,

CHICAGO, Jan. 6-Decision of three judges of the United States district court. sitting en banc here in the Illinois two cent fare case today. does not settle the litigation, but clears the legal decks for the real controversy according to a statement issued by Counsel for the railroads tonight.
 Twcnty-eight railroads operating in Illinois sued for an injunction against t'-e public utilities commission to re- --"in it from enforcing the Illinois law, which it said to conflict with rate of 4 cents granted by the in- terstate commerce commission.
 Today the judges denied the peti- tion, without prejudice" and indicat- ed that the burden of the problem rests with utilities commission.
 The immediate effect of today's proceedings was to pave the way for a decision by Judge Landis on an application for a permanent injunc- tion In this way decision on the mer- its of the case is expected to be at tained with a decision by the supreme court in ultimate view.
 Cases of a similar nature have been brought to the upper court before but the present one is said to represent the dearest issue between states rights and those of the federal gov ernment.

 Why is man and woman, half the time, feeling nervous, Respondent. worried; some days headachy. dull and unstrung; some days really in- capacitated by illness.
 If we all would practice inside-bath- ing, what gratifying change would take place. Instead of thousands of half-sick, anaemic-looking souls with pasty, muddy compleXions We should see crowds of happy, healthy. rosy cheecked people everywhere. The req son is that the human system does not rid itself each day of all the waste which it accumulates under the pres ent mode of living. For every ounce of food and drink taken into the sys- tenn nearly an ounce of waste material must be carried out. else it ferments and forms ptomain-like poisons which are absorbed into the blood.
 Just as necessary as it is to clean the ashes from the furnace each day, before the fire will burn bright and hot, so we must each morning clear the inside organs of the previous days accumulation of indigestible waste and body toxins. Men and women, whether sick or well. are advised to drink each morning, before breakfast, a glass of real hot water with tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in it. as harmless means of washing out of the stomach. liver, kidneys and bowels the indigestible material, waste, sour bile and toxins: thus cleansing, sweetening and purifying the entire alimentary canal before put ting more food into the stomach.
 Millions of people who had their turn at constipation, bilious attacks, acid stomach. nervous days and sleep less nights have become real cranks about the morning inside-bath. A quarter pound of limestone phosphate will not cost much at the drug store, but is sufficient to demonstrate to anyone. its cleansing. sweetening and freshening effect upon the system.

PROOF OF RAPID
GROWTH OF ARDMORE

Is Ardmore really growing? IL so,
how rapidly, is the question uppermost
in the minds of those who have the
city's welfare at heart Here is an Incl
dent that will throw light upon the sub
ject:
Nearly three months ago The Ard.
moreite began a careful canvass of the
city for the dual purpose of compiling
data for directory and for determining
more accurately than by mere estimates,
the actual population. most interest.
ing situation has been disclosed by this
undertaking. The house to house visits
OF The Ardmoreite representative show
ed, after the town had been covered, -
list of about sixty empty houses
These ranged from the single-room
shack" to the handsome up-todate bun
galow. Predominating were the houses
that would make comfortable homes
1t was commonly understood that
there were no empty houses in Ard.
more. The facts showed otherwise.
Taking up the list OF empty houses
another canvass was begun, with the
following curious and very satisfactory
result:
1t was found that out of thirty former
'empties" visited. twenty-seven are now
occupied. The remaining three are
"shacks' so badly out of repair as to
make them practically uninhabitable
OF the twenty-seven newly installed
families fifteen moved from another part
Of town while twelve came from entire
ly outside districts and cities.
Inquiry discloses that each of the
fifteen places of residence vacated by
the fifteen families who moved from
other parts of the city are occupied by
still other families OF these, there is
every Indication that the ratio of new.
comers from outside cities will be kept
up. 1t must be borne in mind that the
above does not in any way refer to the
scores of new houses in course of erec-
ton, or, just completed, within the city
limits. II is a positive indication that
Ardmore is growing rapidly, and health
fully. and without the possibility of
such depressing reaction as almost
invariably follows the wild growth of q
'boom"town.
