He doesn't expect any of them to cure
him, but he heroically allows each person
as he comes along to try his skill on his

him no rest.

Next came n man who said that he had
an absolute sure remedy which had been
handed down as II family secret for gen

would be surprised when he told him
what IL was. 1t was simply wet clay.

DEPARTMENT STORES.

Senator Knute Nelson Says They Are
the Devil Fish of Society.
WASHINGTON, April 8.-Senator Mel
son made vigorous attack on depart
ment stores in speech The post
office appropriation bill was under con-
sideration and there was an amend
ment pending to consolidate all smaller
offices within large radius, abolishing
the office of local postmaster and plac-
ing the same under civil service rules.
Senator Nelson made bitter on
slaught on the amendment, saying that
if carried out, as contemplated, there
would be but one postmaster in a
county, and that at the county seat
and he would be a sort of autocrat He
said that this scheme of consolidation
was detrimental to the interest of the
people, and he then cited the depart.
ment stores as an instance.
''It is the devil fish of modern so.
ciety," said the senator, land has done
more to injure the real business condi-
tions of our cities than anything else,
in commercial sense"
Mr. Nelson then offered an amend
ment which provided that there should
be no consolidation outside of five-
mile limit, except electric Or suburban
cars run frequently by all substations.
