COUNCIL UP IN AIR ON u. S.
Balfour Denies He Is Deputized to
Draft Answer to Washington
on Mandates

Paris Feb. 2S.-The council of the
league of nations is still guarding as
a close secret its deliberations on the
American note concerning mandates.
Speculation consequently is rife as to
several possible eventualities. All
guesses on the subject are being de-
MED as fast as they are made. Arthur
]. Balfour was particularly vexed by
report that he had been charged
with drafting a reply to the American
note. The only information obtain
able on the situation is that nothing
whatsoever has been decided on.

]. s. HIGH COURT
KILLS LEVER LAW
PrOfiteering Curb Too Vague,
Chief Justice White Holds.
JUSTICES CONCUR IN OPINION
Section Four Of Act Is Weak Point
and Is Held to Be Unconstitutional
Decision Affects Many
Suits

Washington, March 1.-The United
States Supreme court decided that the
antiprOfiteering provisions of the Lee
yer act are unconstitutional, and as
result all government prosecutions
pending against food prOfteers will be
dismissed.
The court held that congress had no
authority to enact section of the Lee
yer act, as originally enacted in 1917,
and re-enacted in 1919 Section
sought to punish all persons engaged
in the production or distribution of
food except farmers, who made more
than a flair profit" but did not define
what a ''fair profit" was.
The court maintained that the lam
guage of the section was vague and
inadequate and gave courts and juries
power to set up their own standards
as to when profits became excessive
and were punishable under the act.
White Hands Down Decision.
Chief Justice White handed down
the decision, all of the justices con-
curing. Ten cases were pending be-
fore the court, but the specific decision
was made in the governments case
against the L. Cohen Grocery COM
pany, st. Louis.
The government charged that the
Cohen company had violated section
4 of the Lever act "by wilfully and fe-
loniOusly making an unjust or unrea-
sOnable rate and charge" in handling
sugar
The grocery company contended that
the counts brought against it by the
Department of JuStice were so vague
as not to inform it of the nature and
cause of the accusation; that section 4
of the Lever act was so indefinite that
it could not be told what was forbid
den, and that it constituted a delega-
ton by congress of legislative power
to courts and juries to determine what
acts should be held to be criminal and
punishable. Moreover, the company
contends the country was virtually at
peace and that congress had no power
to regulate profits with section 4.
The Federal court in st. Louis ac-
quilted the Cohen company and the
department of Justice Immediately ap-
pealed.
In it's decision the Supreme court
did not pass upon the contention that
the country is at peace.
Section Four Unconstitutional
In declaring section 4 unconstitu-
tiOnal the Supreme court held that the
section fixed no ascertainable standard
of guilt and that it was not adequate
to inform persons accused of prOfteer-
ing of the nature and cause of the ac-
cusatiOns brought against them by the
government.
'"TO attempt to enforce the section, ~
the decision declared, 'WOuld be the
exact equivalent of an effort to carry
out statute which in it's terms mere
ly penaliZed and punished all acts det-
rimental to the public interest, when
unjust and unreasonable in the eSti-
mate of the court and jury"
In its decision the Supreme court
made reference to persistent efforts
which the records disclose were made
by administrative officers, doubtless in
spired by Jealous effort to discharge
their duty, to establish a standard of
their own to be used as a basis to
render the section possible of execu-
ton"

#. KIDNEYS ACT
BAD TAKE SALTS
Says Backache is a sign you have bssn
eating too much meat, which
forms uric acid.

When you wake up with backache and
dull misery in the kidney region it gen
orally means you have been eating too
much meat, says well-known authority.
Meat forms uric acid which overworks
the kidneys in their effort to filter it
from the blood and they become sort Of
paralyzed and loggy. When your kidneys
get sluggish and clog you must relieve
them, like you relieve your bowels; re-
moving all the body's urinous waste,
else you have backache, sick headache,
dizzy spells; your stomach sours, tongue
is coated, and when the weather is bad
you have rheumatic twinges. The urine
is cloudy, full of sediment, channels ofren
get sore, water scalds and you are obliged
to seek relief two or three times during
the night.
Either consult good, reliable physi-
clan at once or get from your pharmacist
about four ounces of Jad Salts; take
a tablespoonful in glass of water
before breakfast for a few days and your
kidneys will then act fine. This famous
salts is made from the acid of grapes
and lemon juice, combined with lithia,
and has been used for generations to
clean and stimulate sluggish kidneys,
also to neutralize acids in the urine 50 it
no longer irritates, thus ending bladder
weakness

NOT WOMEN S ALONE
(By May Stranathan)

There seems now TO be some hope
that the world. and women in particu-
lar, will rid themselves of the obses
sion that it is woman alone who is
interested in the child and its wei
fare; and he man who goes the
weary way of the daily treadmin OF
toll for the support OF his family may
receive little credit for his work.
For there has arisen champion of
men in the person of Mrs. Margaret
Klingelsmith. a Philadelphia librar-
ian. who boldly declares her convio-
tion that women should not restrict
their interests in legislation to mat.
ters relating to women and Sbildren.
Indeed, this friend of man calls 1t
gang action when women confine
their attention to laws relating to
pensions for mothers, child labor an
TIE like. ~-A
1t has been perhaps because of the
restricted political rights of women
that they as well as men have formed

tain things of interests to but one
sex-the women always including the
children. Ia the proper sense there
Is no such thing as woman's inter
est or mans interest, or even a
child's interest nor can there be SO
long as the family is the unit of civil
