out what was agreed upon before the
Constitution itself was adopted, and
in effect may be regarded as part of
the original document. They add no
new powers. Their purpose was to
restrict as well as make certain the
powers already. granted. They are
called THE Bill of Rights"
The 18th amendment changed the
manner of electing the President and
Vice President. because in the cleo
ton of 1900 the old method did not
work, well.
The 18th and 14th and 18th amend
ments all pertain to the slavery ques-
ton and all grew out Of the Civil
War, and so far as modification of
the organic law is concerned, the
three would mean SIMPLY one change.
The 18th amendment grants power
to levy income taxes without fixing
the amount to be collected from each
State in proportion to the population.
The 18th amendment charged the
manner of electing United States
Senators, so that they are now elected
by direct vote of the people instead
Of by the legislatures of the States
as was originally provided.
The 18th amendment prohibits
the manufacture and sale of intoXi-
eating liquors and gives to Congress,
as well as to the States, the power
to pass laws to enforce the amend
nsent.
The 18th amendment permits wom-
en- to vote.
Form Works Well.
Our dual form of government-by
the States and by the Federal au-
thority-has worked well for 1877
years. 1t has made us strong as a
nation and has left the people free
to work out their local problems But
the habit is growing to propose
amendments to the Constitution
Washington warned against it when
he said:
"One method Of assault may be to
effect in the forms OF the Constitu-
tiCn alterations which will impair
the energy of the system, and thus
to undermine what cannot be direct
ly overthroWn."
A few days before the death of
Tiscount Bryce, well known AS the
recent British Ambassador in Wash
ington. and best known as the au-
thor of the American Common
wealth." he declared in a public ad-
dress that the Constitution of the
United States was the most notable
single contribution to the science of
government. This is in accord with
the notable statement of William T..
Gladstone, the greatest name in mod
ern English history, when he de-
clared, not as speaker in the en-
thusiasm of public address, but as
the mature judgment of a master
mind in the quiet of his study, the
American Constitution IS the most
wonderful instrument ever stricken
off by the brain or purpose Of man
at any one time"
This Constitution, drafted to pro-
tect the liberties of the Individual
you and /, under authority that I'VE
the people" have given to promote
the common good. has thus stood the
test of time and won the admiration
of the world as an ideal charter of
government.
We. you and I. must feel as indi-
viduals. and bring our associates to
feel with us, that it is our duty to
uphold and protect this Constitution,
just as each member of Congress and
every executive and judicial officer is
required by the Constitution itself to
take an oath of Office ito support
this Constitution"

WHY BLAME THE STOMACH
 FOR SO MANY TROUBLES?

"Why couldn't I get the answer long ago? The stomach being so far from rheumatic pains 1t could not be connected with being, in any way. responsible for such troubles. Then 1t was learned that medical authori- ties agree that the stomach Is the source of many of our body ailments. Indigestion Is. known as one of the first troubles to develop from ac. cumulated acids in the stomach. That explained a whole lot--now 1t Is easy to see why distressing headaches. loss of energy. constipation, rheuma- tism. skin diseases and Il rundown system are so common with most of us. They are results of poisons ab- sorbed by the system from a stomach not functioning as nature provides. That the stomach could be made well and healthy and resultant troubles overcome so easily was not realized until that wonderful medicine FER RALINE. was tried. It's great merit has been proven in thousands of cases. It simply aids nature in re- t storing the stomach to normal and overcoming the many complaints due to absorbed poisons. Let this great medicine help you back to health. Give FERRALINE a thorough trial on our money-back guarantee. It's $1.o0 at leading druggists.

Brown was convicted of possessing a large quantity of corn whisky. and appealed, raising ohtsction to certain statements by the solicitor whose argument i'm cfuded . reference to the corn whisky as poison. The court of appeals ul,- held the conviction, and in it's opin- ton. written by presiding Judge Charles R. Bricken, cited definitions of the meaning of poison" as given by authorities.
 Tt is possible that the tnsistent ob- 3scf1on by defendant to the argument of the solicitor was based upon ths Hnse that the solicitor designated the corn liquor in question as poison and II may bs that this imputation or asperation as to the quality of ths liquor added to the extent of the ap- pellant's disapproval of the argu- menf." the opinion stated.

 At this point. in his opinion, Judge Bricken quoted Webster's new inter national dictionary, showing that poison is 'any agent which intro duced into the animal organization, may produce Q morbid, noXious or deadly effect" He also quoted sew eraI legal authorities as to the mean 1ng of poison, one stating that ~polson means . substance taken tn- ternally. which Is injurious to health and often fatal to lffe-'
