LAWS" JOLTED


Aurora, ILL.,, March "a resolu-
ton condemning the enactment Of
blue laws" as a peril to whole
some laws now on the statute
books. was adopted today by the
John Ericsson Republican league
OF Illinois in annual convention
here.
"We have in mind" the resolu-
ton said, particular laws propss-
ed which intend to prohibit any
liberty Of action on Sunday, the
prohibition Of the sale or use Of
tobacco and similar restrictions.
Such laws we believe will ultimate
ly cause deep resentment in the
hearts of the American people, who
in such event will most likely tear
such Puritanical enactments to
pieces with the result that many
wholesome laws on the statute
books for the advancement of HUI
manity will be swept away" 4

listlessly. eyelids droop, the rignt
eye slightly turned upward. The
breathing Is stertorous and some
what labored. Size is or atty ema-

assistance. She objects to any at
tempts at touching her back.
DIR. Nesbitt says that improve

his belief that the condition was
not in any way changed by the CHI

In conclusion, the case appears
to be one Of epidemic encephalitis
