'Some Of the shrewdest tricks eve~
played are by the smugglers of opium,
said H. A. Tanning. OF Seattle. ~ very
unique smuggling scheme was I'M
carthed a few years ago by the United
States secret service officers in North
Dakota. 1t was noticed that an I'M
usually large number OF cattle were be-
ing driven across the line to the North
Dakota markets, and the secret service
men planned an investigation. For
some time their work was in vain. and
they had about given up hope of dis
covering any unlawful operations. when
an accident revealed the fact that the
nostrlls OF the cattle were stuffed with
opium wrapped carefully in tin foil.
In this way each steer was worth twice
its normal value. Hundreds upon hum
dreds Of animals had been driven across
the border with their nostrils loaded
with opium. and il was estimated that
the smugglers had cleaned up a profit
of $4,000 before the discovery was
made But the smugglers were sly
and they escaped and were never cap
tured. st. Louis Globe Democrat.

In presenting the case OF Chas. s. Miller. aged
eight years, OF IS St. Patrick Street, Frederick,
Nd, Doctor Cowden wishes 10 particularly call the
attention Of parents to the necessity OF having
any defect in hearing of their children looked
after and corrected before the disease has taken
such firm hold that they may be incapacitated
for study and be compelled TO leave school. Many
pupils who are naturally bright backward IN
their studies and are considered dull by their
teachers because their hearing is defective and
they are unable to catch the many important
thoughts that constantly coming up That
this misfortune is cured by Doctor Cowden' 5
treatment is proven by the following case:
His parents, in speaking of the case, said:
"About three years ago We began TO notice that
but, as he had Just passed throught an attack OF
measles, and some months later an attack of
scarlet fever, did not pay much attention TO it,
thinking il only natural result of the diseases
But it grew constantly worse and We noticed
he could not hear ordinary conversation, not
even being able to hear conversation at
meals we became worried. Upon questioning
him, found he suffered constantly from head
aches, severe pains in the ears. dizziness and
vertigo. He seemed to lose all interest in things
which before he had taken great delight in, and
became so dull that friends remarked the change
His progress in school became very slow, his
teacher having to call him up TO her chair in
order to instruct him. and had remarked his dali
ness. His appetite failed him; he coughed very
much: his nostrils became clogged; his ears dis
charged; in fact, he complained incessantly.
Finally, we were induced by a friend who was
taking treatment OF Doctor Cowden 10 place
Charles under the doctors care, with results emil
nently satisfactory. His hearing is now perfect,
being able 10 hear all ordinary convoEsation His
headaches, dizziness, pains in the cans, and cough
have gone. His appetite is perfect. His interest
in things in general has returned. HIS teacher
has spoken enthusiastically Of his brightness and
progress in school. We cannot speak too highly
Of Doctor Cowden's treatment, and would most
earnestly urge all parents whose children are suf-
fering from cstarrh and its kindred diseases TO
place them under the of Doctor Cowden 9s

CYCLING MEN ORGANIZE
The National Associations
First Meeting Dec. s.
CALL ISSUED YESTERDAY
J. ID. LasIcy, of This City, One of
the SiSnntOry Omciafs-TO Direct
Bicycle Racing and Punish IrreS-
uIarities - Five Districts AppOr-
tiOned-Many Pledges of support.

New York, Nov 30.-Some time ago 1t
was announced that an effort would be
made to get track owners, racing men,
race promoting clubs and associations to-
gether on December and form an organ
ization for the control of racing.
In the meantime, those who seek TO sup
plant the l.. A. w. in its control of
cycling contests have been quietly but
assiduously at work, and today eur
prise was sprung on the fraternity by the
circulation of the constitution and by
laws of the National Cycling Associa-
ton in the form of neatly printed
booklet.
That the movement is well organized
there is no doubt. The constitution and
bylaws give evidence of having been pre-
pared carefully. The declared object is
the direction of bicycle racing and the
punishment of irregularities therein. The
plan proposed is TO take jurisdiction in
all the States east of the Mississippi, ex-
cept Louisiana, and to form alliances
with the Southern Cycling Association,
the Western Cycling Association and the
California Associated Cycling Clubs,
thereby covering the country. The ter
ritory governed by the association is to
be divided as follows:
District A-Maine, New Hampshire,
Vermont, Massachusetts, Rhode Island.
Connecticut.
District B-New York, New Jersey.
District C-Pennsylvania, Maryland,
Delaware, District of Columbia, Virginia.
West Virginia.
District D-North Carolina, South Car
olina Georgia, Florida Mississippi, Ten
nessee.
District E, Ohio. Kentucky. Indiana,
Michigan, Illinois.
The association will consist of bicycle
track owners, incorporated race and pro-
noting clubs and duly accredited repre-
sentatNes of the American Racing Cy-
ciists' Union. I-
Each of the five districts will have a
board, the chalrmen of which will con-
stitute national board of control. There
Will be a salaried chairman of the board.
Men members will have TO pay $40 for a
permit to run race meet. Riders and
trainers will be obliged to register and
pay a fee of 81.
as epitomized above, a call for the meet
ing was mailed today to all track owners
members of the A. r. c. u, and to all
race promoting clubs, asking that they
shall be represented at a meeting to be
held at the Fifth Avenue Hotel on the
morning of December 8.
The call is signed by ]. ID. Lasley, of
the Park Bicycle Track. in Washington.
d. C.. John c. Wetmore. Quill Club
Wheelmen, and E. c. Bald. president of
the 4. r. c. L.
According to those in this city who are
promoting the formation of this new as
sociation all the important tracks and
clubs are pledged to its support and viii
be represented at the meeting on Decem-
ber S. The letter explicitly states that
the constitution and bylaws that have
been printed are only a suggestion, and
are TO be amended and enlarged upon at
the meeting.
