.The long contested Bell ttele-

phone case lias at last been decided,the' United States supreme courthaving affirmed the validity of-- theBell patent.. Justices Bradley,Field and Harlan dissented, whileJustices Gray and Lamar did notsit in the case, so that the decisionstands four to three in favor of theBell company. The court findsthat no evidence was adduced show-ing that Bell obtained inside in-

formation from the patent officerelative to other inventions, thusclearing the patent office and thepatentee from the charge of fraudand collusion. The dissenting mem-bers of the court base their opinionon Drawbaugh's telephone inven-tion, they claiming that the evi-

dence shows overwhelmingly thathe was the first inventor of thespeaking telephone, although notcognizant of the value of his inven-tion. This point, the decisionholds was not sustained by the evi-dence.

'How Men Die.

If we know nil the methods of approachadopted by an enemy we are the better enabledto ward off the danger and postpone tho momentwhen surrender becomes inevitable. In manyinstances the 'inherent strength'of the body suf-fices to enable it to oppose the tendency towarddeath. Many, however, have lost these forces tosuch an extent that there is little or no help..In other cases a little help to the weakened lungswill make all the difference between suddendeath and many years of useful life. Upon thefirst' symptoms of a cough, cold or any troubleof tho throat or longs, give that old and well,known remedy Boschoe's German Syrup, a care-

ful trial. It will prove what thousands 6ay of itto be, the "benefactor of any home."
