This decision vitally affects the case un­ der which the Standard Oil Co. was fined $29,2 40,000 for the same point was raised. The case upon which the decision was rendered was instituted in the United States District Court for the District of Minnesota, which court fined the Great Northern railroad $1,000 each for 15 violations of the first section of the Elkins law. The alleged offenses against the law were committed during the sum­ mer o f 1905, and consisted in grant­ ing concessions to the W. P. De- vearaux Company on its shipments of oats and corn from Minnesota to points in Washington. The com­ pany admitted the concessions and fought the prosecution on the ground that by amending the Elkins act so as to provide for punishment by im ­ prisonment rather than by fines the Hepburn law had so m odified the or­ iginal law as to accomplish its re­ peal and render punishment under it impracticable. Today’s decision was announced by Justice W hite and a f­ firm ed the finding of the District Court and the United States Circuit Court of Appeals. HEROISM ON M AR YLA N D .

W hen this life stream is flow in g through the syatem in a state at purity and richness vre are assured o f perfect and uninterrupted health; Lecause pure blood ia nature’s safe-guard against disease. When, however, the body is fed on weak, impure o r polluted blood, the system is deprived o f its strength, disease germs collect, and the trouble is manifested in various ways. Pustular eruptions, pimples, rashes and the different skin affections ehow that the blood is in a feverish and diseased condition as a result of too much acid or the presence of some irritating humor. Sores and Ulcers are the result of morbid, unhealthy matter in the blood, and Rheumatism, Ca­ tarrh, Scrofula, Contagious Blood Poison, etc., are all deep-seated blood disorders that will continue to grow worse as long as the poison remains. These impurities and paisons find their way into the blood in various ways. Often a sluggish, inactive condition of the system, and torpid state of the avenues of bodily waste, leaves the refuse and waste matters to sour and form uric and other acids, which are taken up by tbe blood and distributed throughout the circulation. Coming in contact with contagious diseases is another causa for the poisoning of the blood ; we also breathe the germs and microbes of Malaria into our lungs, and when these get into the blood in Sufficient quantity it becomes a carrier of disease instead of health. Some are so unfortunata os to inherit bad blood, perhaps the dregs of some old constitutional disease of ancestors is handed down to them and they are constantly annoyed and troubled with it. Bad blood is the source of all dis­ ease, and uatil this vital fluid is cleansed and purified the body ia sure te Buffer in some way. For blood troubles of any character S. S. S. Is the best remedy ever discovered. It goes down into the circulation and removes any and all poisons, auppliea the healthful properties it needs, and completely and permanently cures blood diseases of every kind. The action of S. S. S. is so thorough that hereditary taints are removed and weak, diseased blood made strong and healthy so that disease cannot remain. It cures Rheumatism, Catarrh, Scrofula, Sores and Ulcers, Skin Diseases, Contagions Blood Poison, etc., and does not leave the slightest trace of the trouble for future outbreaks. The whole volume of blood is renewed and cleansed after a course of S. S. S. It is also nature’s reatest tonic, made entirely of roots, herbs and barks, and is absolutely armless to any part of the system. S. S. S. is for sale at all first class 0gU£ stores.
