A. Spotts, of 2106 N. 4th said: My son, Charles, 14 years of age, had suffered something terrible since he was four years old from catarrh of the head and stomach. At times it was almost impossible to be near him on account of the terrible odor. I tried everything I heard of but to no avail.

I purchased several bottles of To ka, the great Mexican Blood Tonic, and advised my son to take some. Well, you can rest assured that he is very grateful to me for being able to obtain such a grand remedy. He is like an entire different boy. To ka certainly is a grand medicine for catarrh.

B. H. Warren to the office of Dairy and Food Commissioner of Pennsylvania was argued by both sides before Attorney General Hampton L. Carson, at his office in Philadelphia yesterday. So voluminous and complicated was the evidence taken that the Attorney General stated that he would not announce his decision until next Monday.

The petitioners, who are 'five grocers of this city, and who were repre cers of Philadelphia, and who were represented by Attorneys John H. Fow and E. W. Buckley, declare that the acts creating the office of Commissioner are in conflict with article 3, section 27, of the Constitution of Pennsylvania, wheh reads: "No State officer shall be continued or created for the inspection or measuring of any merchandise or commodity, but any county or municipality may appoint such officers when authorized by law." Claim It's Mr. Buckley, in arguing for the petitioners, said: "In the first place the Dairy and Food Commissioner is a State officer.

In the second, he does inspect commodities and is authorized by the acts which we claim are therefore unconstitutioal. Not only do these acts imply that he is an inspector, but some of them, in authorizing him to execute certain pure food statutes, specifically state that he is to 'inspect' using that identical word. The case for the Dairy and Food Commissioner was conducted by ex Judge Cyrus Gordon, of Clearfield; S. J. M.

McCarrell, of Harrisburg, and Charles L. Brown, of Philadel phia. They contended that the writ should not be granted, as they claimed there was not sufficient evidence that the acts were unconstitutional Ex Judge Gordon presented a demurrer which held that, even though the acts were unconstitutional, the validity of the office itself could not be affected or its incumbent ousted, since its powers were not only inspection, but others whose constitutionality could not be questioned. Mr. McCarrel's Argument.

After the demurrer had been read ex Senator McCarrell took up the argument. "The right of the judiciary to declare a statute void and to ar hest its execution," he said, "is one which, in the opinion of all Courts, is coupled with responsibility so grave that it is never to be exercised except in very clear cases. "The power of the Dairy and Food Commissioner is simply to discover and prosecute violations of the Pure Food laws. In order to enable him to do so the appointment of agents, chemists and ner assistants was expressly authorized. It is worthy of note that the Legislature did not direct him to make an inspection of every article resembling butter before it was offered for sale in the Commonwealth.

That would have made him an inspector, and, therefore, would have been GREELY RELIEVES FUNSTOX. By Associated San Francisco, March 9. Major General A. W.

Probably never before has a more remarkable gathering of life insurance men been assembled under a single roof than that which met to day in the state capitol in connection with the hearing on pending amendments to the insurance law. The hearing on the bills was had before the joint special legislative investigating committee which drew upon itself last fall universal attention by its exposures of many of the conditions surrounding the business of life insurance as carried on in this State. To day's hearing was the first public opportunity for the insurance companies to express themselves upon the provisions of the ten bills presented by the committee to the Legislature as the i esult of its investigation and the great and small companies concerned a powerful personnel upon the occasion.

Arrangements had been made for a very large attendance and yesterday it became evident that the great crowd of insurance men coming in on every train would tax to the utmost the capacity of the big assembly chamber. Last night the corridors of the hotels suggested the night before a great political conven tion. Many radical changes in the state insurance law and kindred statutes are proposed in the ten bills under consideration. A resume of these measures has been carried heretofore in these despatches.
