ADAIR MADE PARTY TO DAMAGE SUIT Congressman from Eigntn is Charged With Criminal Conspiracy.

DEMOCRAT BRINGS ACTION.

THE AUTHOR OF THE LAW IS THE MAN WHO IS OPPOSING ADAIR FOR RE-ELECTION TO THE NATIONAL HOUSE.

Portland, Ind., July 16. A suit that will attract widespread attention was filed here yesterday afternoon In which Congressman John A. M. Adair and others are charged with criminal conspiracy undr the anti-trust law passed by the last legislature, damages in the sum of $r5,XX and flxiO for the plaintiffs attorney fees are asked. The plaintiff is Harry L. Wilt. The title of the case is "Harry L. Wilt vs. John A. M. Adair, Charles P. Adair, Alpheus A. Adair, George U Stevens, Ft. Wayne Drug Co., Mooney-Mueller Drug Company and the A. Keifer Drug Company of Indianapolis." The suit was filed in the Jay circuit court. According to the plaintiff the Adair brothers are partners doing a general drug business in Portland, owning the principal store In the city. The suit Bets forth that George Stevens if? engaged In the wholesale and retail drug business; that Wilt was engaged in the drug business In Portland ten years, and Is a graduate of the Purdue school of pharmacy. In November, 1907, according to the complaint, Wilt advertised that he would sell any article In his store at 25 per cent less than the original Belling price, Including patent medicines and all drugs. Wilt says that as a result of his cutting of prices the defendants to the action conspired and entered into an agreement and understanding to ruin his business, and they did so. He avers that after starting to sell at cut prices he was unable in any manner to get an order for additional stock filled from the wholesale drug concerns mentioned, and that the Adair Bros, were a party to the alleged conspiracy. Wilt made a voluntary assignment last January and at the time of his failure he put a notice on the front door of his store which read, "Closed by the drug trust with local assistance." Wilt is a democrat as are all the members of the Wilt family. One of the Wilt brothers is democratic leader in Portland. Congressman Adair is also a democrat. Congressman Adair has been associated with his brothers in the drug business for about fifteen years. The action is brought under the law introduced by ex-Senator N. B. Hawkins of Portland, who is opposing Congresman Adair for re-election to Congress.

Get Your Money's Worth. A pretty good test of a soap's quality is the number of uses to which it can be put. A soap that will cleanse the daintiest textures, is often of no account for heavy work. Doubtless the soap that does the best under all circumstances is the pure quality called Easy Task soap. Flannels, overalls, butchers' aprons or lace-handkerchiefs are all washed perfectly by it.

' value; a laxative which physicians could

sanction for family use because its component parts are known to them to be wholesome and truly beneficial in effect, acceptable to the system and gentle, yet prompt, in action. In supplying that demand with its excellent combination of Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna, the California Fig Syrup Co. proceeds along ethical lines and relies on the merits of the laxative for its remarkable success. That is one of many reasons why Syrup of Figs and Elixir of Senna is given the preference by the Well-informed. To get its beneficial effects always buy the genuine manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co., only, and for sale by all leading druggists. Price fifty cents
