tearing my lungs to pieces. Doctors
failed to help me, and hope had fled,

Williams, oi Bac, Ky. "The first
dose helped me and Improvement
kept on until I had gained 68 pounds
in weight and my health was fully
restored." This medicine holds the
world's record for coughs and colds
and lung and throat diseases. It pre-
vents pneumonia. Sold under guar-
antee at All Druggists. 60c and

CAPTION TOO BROAD.
Supreme Court Reverses and Dismiss
es the Full Crew Law Case.
Austin, Dec. 10.—The enactment of
the Thirtieth legislature, known as
"full crew law," which requires rail
roads to maintain full crews on its
trains, was knocked out by the su
preme court, in opinion rendered In
the case of the Missouri, Kansas and
Texas Railway company against the
stae of Texas, which was reversed and
dismissed. The supreme court held
that the act is Invalid for the reason
that the subject of which it treats la
not expressed in its title, as required
by the constitution, which provides
that no bill shall contain more than
one subjec t, which shall be expressed
in Its title. This was the contention
of the railroad company, which is
agreed to by the court
"In this case," says the court, "the
statute so clearly fails to comply
with the requirement of the consti-
tution that it must hold it to be in
valid."
In answering certified questions
from the court of civil appeals at Gal
veston. in the case of James Hender-
son vs. the city of Galveston, et al.,
the supreme court held that Galveston
city commissioners cannot prescribe
saloon limits under the ordinance
passed by the commissioners giving
that authority for the reason that the
ordinance, which is based on an
amendment to the Galveston city
charter, is void and invalid.
It is disclosed that confusion has
arisen between the Texas state branch
of the Red Cross at Dallas and the
Texas Anti-Tuberculosis association.
As the Red Cross is selling Chrlstman
stumps and so is the association, both
for the same end. however, Secretary
Bibb of the association is in a quan-
dary how to adjust the matter, as at
present a conflict arises.
The supreme court held that when
a clerk of ?. court fails to enter a gen-
eral verdict during the term the court
may at a subsequent term direct the
entry nunc pro tunc. The court says
that the statute directs the clerk to
enter a general verdict without an-
nouncement by the court, but in the
case of a special verdict, the court
determines what the judgment shall
be and enters It. This was in a case
from McLennan county.
