WASHINGTON, April s. Secretary
Morton, in order to prevent the

STOCKMEN To FIGHT.
They Are Aroused Against the
Beef Combine.
Recent Advances in Prices In
cense Them More.
TO FOUND MARKETS.
A Scheme is Being Considered
to Better Things.

CHICAGO, April 5.-The Post saws it is
learned from sources close to the foun-
tainhead that the cattle raisers of the
west are bending every eff ort to the
perfection of an organization during
the coming season to fight the dressed
beef com bine. The recent advance in
the price of beef has incensed instead
of modifying them. They claim
that they are only getting a small
and wholly inadequate advantage from
the advance in the price to consumers,
the combine taking most of it and
leaving them an insignificant end of
the gain. Cattle raisers are now de-
voting themselves to the considera ton
of a scheme for estab lishing markets
at Chicago, Omaha, St. Louis, Kansas
City, New York and other points for
the sale of cattle for future delivery,
sales to be made according to recog-
nized grades and descriptions.
They claim that under existing meth
DDS they are absolutely at the mercy
of the combine, being obliged to accept
whatever price may be named for cat
tie on arrival at the packing centers or
go to the expense of CARRYING the stock,
and at the end of the contest selling at
a heavier sacrifice than would have
been first incurred. They argue that
they can keep their stock on their
ranges and farms cheaper than at the
other end of the line, and that they need
not contract to deliver their property at
future date until satisfactory prices can
be obtained. In order to insure COM
petition in bidding for ''cattle futures
the scheme is said to comprehend the
establishing of packing houses and dis
tributing depots, as we'll as necessary
machinery for the expectation of the
product, SO as to get in touch with con-
sumers at home and abroad.
This sort of thing has been talked
about in an indefinite fashion for a
good while, but it is stated on APP
parently the best of authority that the
plans are now assuming practical form,
with immense resources behind the
proposition. Evidently there is fun
ahead.

Recent discoveries have demonstrated that
all the organs Of the body are under the con-
troll OF the nerve centers, located in or near
the base of the BRAIN and that when these are
deranged the organs which they supply with
nerve fluid are also deranged. When it is re-
membered that serious injury to the spinal
cord will cause paralysis Of the body below
the Injured point, because the nerve force is
prevented by the injury from reaching the
paralyzed portion, it will be understood now
the arrangement of the nerve centerS Will
cause the derangement of the various organs
which they supply with nerve force.
TwO-thiFdS of chronic diseases are due to
the imperfect action of the nerve centerS at
the base Of the brain, not from a derange-
ment primarily originating in the organ it
self. The great mistake OF physicians IN
treating these diseases is that they treat the
organ rather than the nerve centerS which
are the cause of the trouble.
DR.. FRANKLIN MILES, the celebrated spe-

discoveries in connection with it, chief among
them being the facts contained in the above
statement, and that the ordinary methods OF
treatment are wrong. All headache, dizzi-
