CASES APPEALED IMEJIISMISSED And Government May Ask that National Pure Food Law : De Changed Some.

WEAKNESSES ARE SHOWN MANUFACTURER MAY NOT BE LOW IN TAKING ADVANTAGE J OF UNCLE SAM'S ACTION IN SUPREME COURT. Y JONATHAN WINFIELD. Washington, Oct 24. In view of the recent action of the government In having dismissed from the docket of the supreme court' of the United States an appeal taken by the government Ih several cases brought under the pure food and drugs act. It Is not improbable, say officials of the agricultural department that an attempt will be made at the coming session of congress to amend that act so as to meet the points raised by violators of the measure. The cases dismissed by the supreme court are not to be regarded as a precedent by the officers who look to the enforcement of the pure food and drugs act. One of the cases was that of Henry Boockman of Brooklyn, N. He was Indicted under the act on a charge of mislabeling, because he put on the market an article labeled, "Compound: Pure comb and strained honey and corn syrup, when an analysis showed that It was glucose and starch sugar. Ac cordlngly the officers of the agricultural department who are charged with the enforcement of the pure food law, had Boockman indicted in the circuit court of the eastern district of New York, but bis attorneys successfully fought the caae on the ground that the act failed to state the offense. The demurrer which was filed to the Indictment was sustained. The ' government took an appeal to the United States supreme court Since last March officials of the department of Justice have had time to jook over me recoras in ine case, ana when the supreme court convened for the fall term, October 11, District Attorney Wlckersham asked the dismissal of the government's appeal. To Grasp Opportunity. It Is believed that this action will have a far-reaching Influence and that manufacturers of food products will not be slow to take advantage of this tacit admission on the part of the government that indictments brought A k - m M M M m unuer ine pure iooa ana arugs act ror misbranding will not hold in the courts.- . '. The records of the agrclultural department show that hundreds of cases of misbranding have been successfully Prosecuted in the lower courts, and many thousands of dollars worth of iooa siuns aesiroyea as a result, perhaps this la due to the fact that the manufacturers felt they were guilty and did not care to appeal to the higher courts. President Taft is said to be a believer In the pure food and drugs act, and ho may take occasion in his message to congress in December to call attention to the need , of an amendment that will meet the objections to the misbranding and mislabeling pro visions of the act Antl-Optlon Bill. The Scott anti-option bill which passed the house Just before the ad Journment. of congress last June is to be pressed In the senate at the coming session. The Scott bill was put through the house under a special rule at the insistence of the southern cotton planters, who for years have been urging legislation that would effectively stop gambling in MIEAtS ftrcd by Lydia E.

For Catarrh Get a HYOMEI (pronounce It High-o-me) outfit today. Pour a few drops from the bottle Into the inhaler that comes with each outfit, and breathe it In four or five times a day. Immediately you will know that HYOMEI soothes and heals the Inflamed and Irritated membrane. But HYOMEI does more than soothe and heal: it kills the germs, those persevering pests that are at the root of all catarrhal conditions. "Last year I suffered terribly with catarrh. I used one bottle of HYOMEI and my catarrh was better." Miss Helen McNalr, Loyalton, Cal. A complete HYOMEI outfit, including a bottle of HYOMEI. a hard rubber pocket inhaler and simple instructions for use, costs only 1.00. If you now own a Hyomel Inhaler, you can get an extra bottle of HYOMEI for only 50 cents at Leo H. Fihe's and druggists everywhere. Guaranteed to cure catarrh, croup, asthma and sore throat, or money back. cotton exchanges "on futures." The claim of the cotton planters Is that the methods employed by cotton exchanges depreciate' the price of cotton and rob the planter of the fruits of his toil. The Scott bill, which is known as the anti-option cotton bill, is a drastic measure. Some of the lawyer congressmen In the house said at the time of Its passage, that If the bill In Its form at that time became a law the courts would declare It unconstitutional. This opinion had an effect In that the advocates of the measure In the senate will probably amend Jt to meet the objections raised by the constitutional lawyers. As the antioption bill Is indorsed by the farmers union it Is believed that much influence will be felt In the senate, with the result that there will be legislation on the subject before the final adjournment on March 4, 1911. The cotton exchanges throughout the country are preparing for a hot fight in congress this winter, as their existence depends on the outcome of the controversy. The evidence taken by the house committee on agriculture last spring - showed very clearly that more than two-thirds of the business done by the cotton exchanges was simplay the dealing in "futures," which the advocates of the Scott bill assert Is nothing but gambling. FIRST DIXIE MEET Norfolk, Va., to Be First Southern City to Have an Aviation Co'ntest. MANY BIRDMEN TO ATTEND , t Norfolk, Va., Oct 24. The first aviation meet ever held in a southern city will take place here during .the first three days in November. The Norfolk Ledger Dispatch has arranged to bring some of the world's most famous air men together in competition. Other cities of the south have had aeroplane flights. Single performers have shown at aeveral of Dixie's larger cities, but Norfolk will open the south's history of aviation meets, where more than one sky pilot haa a part to play. Olenn H. Curtis, the winner of the world's great aviation prize will have a large share In the undertaking. "Bud" Mars will do tricks with his biplane, that will astonish timid spectators. Wllard McCurdy and Ely will In all probability take part and other men who are equally well known are being considered for engagement. Mimic attacks on Fortress Monroe and the Norfolk navy yard will be undertaken. Quick rises and sharp descents will be practiced in' competition. The record for altitude will be assailed. In addition to the aviation stunts there will be a race meet which will engage the attention of much 'of the sporting element of the south. Some fast entries have been secured and considerable money has already been wagered between the backers of the different horses. - Norfolk hopea to have a record breaking crowd at this time for the aviators must attract all who delight in the triumph of. man, and nerve and skill and courage. . QUE FATALLY HURT New York, Oct. 24. One person was perhaps fatally hurt and two others were seriously injured today when an explosion of a large steam pipe wreck ed the cafe and bar of the Cladendon hotel. Brooklyns most fashionable hostelry. The guests la the cafo were hurled from their seats at the tables to the floor. . Angling and Fishing. The true angler does not care much bout the site of the catch, and let It be remembered that to angle and to catch fish are very different things. There are debased creatures in human guise who will attach an assortment of murderous hardware to the end of a rope and with it pull fish from the water by sheer strength, but each methods are unrecognised by the angler who has imposed upon himself rigid code of honor and to whom even the use of live bait as a last resort la the occasion for severe self examination. . The angler does not go forth to catch fish, bat to fish, and only those with the angler's nice sense of propriety will recognize the difference. Philadelphia TUuee.

ARID LAUDS TO BE PUT TO SOME USE

Agricultural Department Finds Blueberry Crops Will Thrive on Them. NEW PIT CULTURE. SYSTEM MARKET WOULD GLADLY PAY A HIGHER PRICE FOR CULTIVAT-. ED BLUEBERRIES OF A SUPERIOR QUALITY. (American Ntw Servlc) Washington, D. C. Oct. 24. An interesting and significant feature in the experiments reported in Bulletin 193, of the bureau of riant Industry, Just issued by the United States department of agriculture, is the light ehed on the possible utilization of naturally arid lands 'that occupy oxtensive areas in the eastern United States, to produce the delicious blueberry or some other crop that thrives in arid soils. :'?' The department has found by experiment how blueberries differ from ordinary plants in tbeir methods of nutrition and In tbeir soil requirements, and by means of this knowledge it has worked out a' system of pit culture under which these plants attain a development beyond all previous expectations. The failure heretofore of attempts to cultivate blueberries commercially as . a market fruit appears to be due to a misunderstanding of the soil requirements of the plants, which, as these experiments show are radically different from those of our common cultivated plants. The market would gladly pay a higher price for cultivated blueberries of superior quality. A marked distinction should be made In market quotations between the large plump blueberry whose seeds are so small as to be almost unnoticed when they are being eaten, and the huckleberry in which the .seed is surrounded by a bony covering like a minute peach pit which crackles between the teeth. The failure to make this distinction in nomenclature, and the unsightly condition in which careless handling ! often presents the berries to the buy er, are the cause of much of the failure In southern markets to appreciate the blueberry at its real value. y It la a Sturdy Fruit. As the blueberry stands the rough treatment Incident to shipment so much better than other berries, with proper handling it should always reach the market in first class condition, whether shipped frdm North Carolina to Boston In early June, or Nova Scotia to Washington In late September, making the blueberry season over a period of nearly four months. To those desiring to experiment with field culture of the swamp blue-

IFINAL EDECKEE ' . FOR MJEEKOfllD) COLORE ROIDIFMG The higgher tribunal appealed to THE UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS affirms the decision of the Hon. Judge G. W. Ray rendered January 24, 1910, in the District Court of the United States for the Southern District of New York, which holds that J. A. & W. Bird and the Flintkote Manufacturing Co. have infringed THE STANDARD PAINT CO. S PATENTS Nos. 775,635 and 775,636 and finds fully in favor of RUBER0ID COLORED ROOFINGS. Here is an extract from the Hon. Judge Ray's Decision which the Court of Appeals has upheld:

'The roofing of the defendants alleged to infringe is known as ZOLIUM. I think the evidence establishes that the first successful COLORED ROOFING upon the market was this COLORED RUBEROID made In accordance with the claims of the patents In suit They are popular and have an extensive and Increasing sale. They are pleasing and attractive in appearance to those who desire c colored roof and who use a roofing of this character. It is shown that these roofings are durable and serviceable, and that the coloring is permanent. " "All the constituent elements of a product, a new article of manufacture, may be old, as of course these were, but this product as a complete article of manufacture was new, and it was better than any that had gone before. The inventors did more than those

This is the substance of the decision: Existing imitations of COLORED RUBEROID are prohibited no permanent colored roofing can be manufactured except under The Standard Paint Company's ptaents. - The exrpimnts referred to by the Honorable Judge, developed a number of interesting facts concerning roofing I materials. .

A little Diapepsin will promptly regulate any bad Stomach. You can eat anything your stomach craves without fear of Indigestion or dyspepsia, or that your food will ferment, or sour on your stomach if you will take a little Diapepsin occasion-any- ' " ; - .-"v " , Your meals will taste good, and anything you eat will be digested: nothing can ferment or turn into acid or poison or stomach gas. which causes Belching, dizziness, a feeling of fullness after eating, nausea, indigestion (like a lump of lead in stomach), biliousness, -heartburn, water brash, pain' in stomach and intestines : or other symptoms. Headaches from the stomach are ab berry, whether with wild plants, seedlings or plants grown from cuttings, . two methods of treatment are suggest ed, both deduced from the experiments already made. The first method, suited to upland soils, is to set the 'plants in trenches or separate holes in well rotted peat at least a foot In depth, and mulch the surface well either with leaves or with clean sand. The excavations should provide ample space for new growth of the roots, and the peat used may be either of the bog or upland type, and should have been rotted for several months before using.. The soil should afford good drainage, the ideal condition of the peat about the roots of the plant being 'one of continued moisture during the growing season, but with all the free water draining readily so that thorough aeration of the mass 'of peat is assured. The second method of field culture suggested is to set the plants in a peat bog, after the bog has been drained, turfed, and deeply mulched with sand, just as for cranberry culture, except that no special provision need be made for rapid flooding of the bog for winter, and the ground water of the bog might be kept a little lower than is usual with cranberries. Before beginning the work these experiments should be carefully studied by any one proposing to undertake the culture of blueberries. ' Both Disappointed.

solutely unknown where this effective remedy is used. Diapepsin really does all the work of a healthy stomach. It digests your meals when your stomach can't. A single dose will digest all the food you et and leave nothing to ferment or sour and upset the stomach. Get a large 50-cent case of Pape's Diapepsin from your druggist and start taking now, and in a little while you will actually brag about your healthy, strong stomach, for you then can eat anything and everything you want without the slightest discomfort or misery, and every particle of impurity and gas that is in your stomach and intestines is going to be carried away without the use of laxatives or any other assistance. Should you at this moment be suffering from indigestion or any stomach disorder, you can get relief within five minutes.

FIRST STEEL CARS For the Pennsylvania Railroad System Have Just Been Received for Use. COACHES ARE FIREPROOF The first lot of all steel . suburban coaches built for the Pennsylvania Railroad Company have just been received. These cars have been sent to New York where they will be used In the suburban service out of the Pennsylvania Station. The new all steel suburban coaches are fifty-four feet long, seating eightytwo, people. Through special designs which have been used, the weight of the car has been materially lessened as compared with the wooden coaches the latter carrying 1510 pounds of dead weight for each passenger, while the new steel suburban coach carries only 107S pounds of dead weight per passenger. The suburban coaches have vestibule ends and are made entirely fire proof. Heavy steel girders running from end to end are calculated to resist any shock in collision. The cars are lighted by electricity and are fitted with green plush cushion seats. The Pennsylvania Railroad System will shortly have available for use on its Lines East and West of Pittsburgh and Erie 1,988 solid steel passenger equipment cars. This includes some 600 Pullman parlor and sleeping cars, as well as a large number of suburban coaches such as the Company's shops are just beginning to turn out. Not a Talker.

ordinarily, skilled in the art would do. There was mental conception, long experimentatfon and avaluable and a new result. "The process pointed out in the patent which varies from the prior art was successful. The prior art was not. There is difficulty in pointing out why the one is successful when the other was not and probably all the reasons are not known, but the discovery was patentable and the defendants infringed by using it. "I am therefore constrained to hold that both patents in suit (as to claims In issue) are valid and that defendants infringe. THERE WILL BE A DECREE ACCORDINGLY AND FOR AN INJUNCTION AND AN ACCOUNTING."

WHITE PLAGUE WAR All-south Campaign Against

Tuberculosis to Be Start1 ed Tomorrow. BIG MEETING AT JACKSON Jackson. Miss.. Oct 24. Tuberculosis will again be the theme of an all-south campaign which opens tomorrow in Jackson. Miss, with the American exhibition of the national association for the study and prevention of tuberculosis under the direction of E. G. Routzahn. - Within the past two years every large city east of the Mississippi and south of the Ohio, except Mobile has been stirred to activity in the war against consumption as a result of the crusade that has been carried on. In Georgia, North Carolina, Florida, Alabama and Virginia,- state sanatoria for the treatment of tuberculosis have been erected or provided for. Local sanatoria providing for the treatment of hundreds of patients have been established in fourteen cities in seven different states. Special tuberculosis dispensaries for the Instruction and relief of needy consumptives have been opened In nine cities in seven different states. Four state and forty-six local associations for the prevention of tuberculosis have been organized, three in Alabama; one in Florida; Ave in Georgia; seven in Kentucky; ten in North Carolina; nine in South Carolina; four In Ten nessee; six in Virginia; and Ave in West Virginia. At the beginning of the all-south campaign a little over two years ago there were not more than six centers in the south where the anti-tubercu losis movement had aroused any ac tivity.- ,ln addition to the special anti tuberculosis agencies enlisted in this work, health boards, women's clubs, churches, business associations, labor unions and schools have all joined hands in a gigantic effort to reduce the large annual losses from consump tion. The campaign of the national asso ciation for the study and prevention of tuberculosis this coming year will be carried on particularly in Mississipi and. Louisiana. Already some ex cellent work has been done in these states, and it Is hoped to arouse everycenter of population before May, 1911. . CARD OF THANKS.
