There is a simple remedy at hand, and it is water, which should be drunk freely, but not at meals. The water taken must not be too cold. Careful ablution and the use of good soap, strict attention to diet, plenty of outdoor exercise, an occasional mild aperient and a little cold cream rubbed well into the face on a windy day, also on retiring—these little attentions will secure for any one a complexion to be enTled.

LAW DECLARED VALID

Anothsr Ruling on th* Anti-Cigar-stt* Statute That Differs from Others. ACCUSED MAN IS ACQUITTED Interstate Commerce Sets Him Free— Would -Be Suicide Saved from Death, Indianapolis, June 9. —Judge James M. Leathers, sitting as special judge in the criminal court, acquitted William W. Lowry, an attorney of this city, on the charge of violating the new anti-cigarette law by “unlawfully owning and keeping a certain cigarette.” Lowry admitted that he had cigarettes in his possession at the time the indictment was returned, but Judge Leathers held that inasmuch as he had obtained hiseigarettes in original packages from outside the state, he, therefore, engaged In Interstate commerce, and was protected by the interstate commerce clause of the federal constitution, which, he held, is a shield against prosecution under the new an-ti-cigarette law so long as the receiver of the cigarettes does not permit them to pass from his possession. Lav Held To Bo Constitutional. The effect of Judge Leathers’ ruling which was on the motion of Lowry to quash the indictment, is to hold that the new anti-cigarette law is constitutional; that it is meant to apply to the smoker as well as the dealer, but that cigarettes are a commercial article, and the supreme court of the United States has held that the right of a citizen to carry on interstate commerce is conferred by the constitution of the United States, and cannot be controlled or limited by the state. The minute a person who has imported cigarette from another state permits them to pass from his possession. Judge Leathers holds, he becomes amenable to the anti-cigarette law in that the cigarettes cease to be an article of interstate commerce. Cannot Give n Friend n Ciftralta. The effect of this. Judge Leathers believes, will place a heavy burden on the state in the enforcement of the new law as against possession of cigarettes. In each case of prosecution the state would have to prove that the cigarettes were obtained within the state. In brief, the decision is that a person lawfully obtaining cigarettes from outside the state may possess them and smoke them in safety so long as he does not give them away or sell them.
