their illnesses were usually Of a
minor nature-colds, fevers, head
aches, biliousness-and all of
them required first a thorough
evacuation, They were constipated.
NDr. Caldwell in the course of 40
years practice, for he was grad
usted from Rush Medical College
back in 1873, had found a good
deal Of success in such cases with
a prescription of his own contain
ing simple laxative herbs with
pepsin. In 1892 he decided to
use this formula in the manufac-
ture Of a medicine to be known as
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin, and
in that year the preparation was
first placed on the market, The

SUPREME COURT DENIES
DRY LAW REHEARINCi
Reconsideration Was Sought
by Jersey BreDers.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 1.-The Supreme
Court refused to-day to reconsider Its
decision of last June sustaining
validity of the prohibition amendment
and portions of the enforcement act.
The rehearing had been asked In petit
tons filed by Christian Feigenspan. a
brewer Of Newark. y. j.. and George G.
Dempsey a wholesale liquor dealer Of
Boston. Mass.
Rehearing of the Feigenspan case was
sought on the ground that the court
failed to state the reason for its con
illusions in holding the amendment valid.
that Inadequate time had been allowed
for the presentation Of the case and that
the courts construction OF the section
of the amendment relating to concur
rent power" made Congresses authority
practically paramount and nullihed the
effect intended by the Senate and House
The Dempsey petition was based on
the claim that neither the amendment
nor the enforcement act were intended
to prohibit the manufacture or sale Of
beverages containing small quantities Of
alcohol where such beverages were not
In fact intoxicating.

$4,000 worth of bootleg liquor was con-
iscated on Sunday afternoon while It
was being shipped through the St George
yards Of the Baltimore and Ohio Rail-
road. and the general opinion of officials
seemed to be that the gang behind the
shipment was the same one which was
involved In the transactions which led
up to the murder of Frederick r. Eckert

tagged whiskey was being shipped
through the Baltimore and Ohio yards.

Printing Facts

If type could be locked up so
that all of it would be absolutely
of the same height; if engravings
could be made so that the surface
would be absolutely even; if the
bed and tympan printing press
were mathematically uniform,
make-ready would be unnecessary.
But because this is a finite world,
the printer must correct the in
equalities in the plate, the type
form, and the press, by, building
up with paper, chalk, or some
other substance underlays and
overlays. This process is called
make-ready. The difference be-
tween a good and bad piece of
presswork is largely determined
by the care and skill of the press
man who makes the job ready.
