Supreme Court Change*.
Thereds not'a single member of the
Supreme court of President Harrison’s
day now sery.ng on the bench. Twenty
six years is not a long time for con
tinuity of Jservlee In the lower courts.
There are hundreds of judges appoint
ed at the age of thirty-five who are
still in full mental vigor at seventy,
uud not; a few fuses of this kind are
to be ffiund In the lower federal and
state courts. Even Chief Justice
White,, however, Is able to point to a
Judicial record iof only twenty-six
years^ He was appointed by Cleveland
In February, 1894, wild all the members
with whom he was associated at that
time have passedl away. President
Taft had the honor of appointing a full
majority of the Supreme court in the
course of fhis four years in office. *He
appointed, Justices Hughes, Van De
vanter, Lamar and Pitney. President
Wilson has already imade two appoint
ments—McKeynolds' and Braudels—
and no?w has another appointment to
make. Despite all the changes that
have taken place inirecent years, more
cases were dlsposediof by the Supreme
court during its recent term than In
any other term since 1890. A total of
647 cases were decided, while In 1800
there were 010 cases. There still re
main on tlie docket 622>case.s.—Thomas

Influenza
“Granny” CLaroberlain
“ No one who has not had Influenza can realize the suffering
it causes or how it defies treatment. I know of nothing that will
give such prompt relief as Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, for
when it is taken the pain in the chest disappears, the fever sub
sides and the whole body becomes more comfortable.
Then again, the after effects of Influenza are often even more
distressing than the disease itself, but they can be avoided if
you use
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
Though the greatest danger from this disease is Pneumonia,
I have never known a single case of Influenza to result in it when
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy was freely given. The persistent
cough that frequently follows Influenza can be relieved by
Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy, and should not be allowed to
run on until it becomes troublesome.”

manufacturers in place of leather
for making boots and shoes. Shoes

material the exact composition of
which is not generally known.
These near-skin shoes, as they are]
called, sell for about $4 a pair.
