COMMERCIAL MEN AND TRUSTS

President Dove, Of the Commercial
Travellers National League, assumes
that the $4,000 travelling commercial
men In the United States will be po-
tent II not controlling factor in the
next presidential election. They are
against trusts FOR the reason that the
combinations Of capital and energy 10
lessen the cost Of production to con-
sumers, largely dispense with COM
mercial travellers.
President Dove declares that the
100000 commercial men will drum an
ti-monopoly into the ears OF 100000
voters during each twenty-four hours.
and he assumes that they will be the
most important champions Of the anti
trust cause
one feature Of the political crusade
Of the commercial men seems to have
been overlooked by President Dove.
This Is an age Of free schools and uni
vorsal newspapers and every consum-
er of average intelligence knows that
the consumers are today paying the
needless cost of the S50,0OO travelling
commercial men.
Their salaries and expenses add just
so much to every article consumed by

IGNORANT OF BOERS' STRENGTH
london, Nov. THE confession last
evening of General Lord Wolseley, the
C0mmandeI'-in-C Chief. that the Beers
were more powerful and more numerous
than had been anticipated sufficiently eX
plains the present happenings, and the
War Office win hereafter have awkward
questions to answer in regard to lts APP
parent colossal Ignorance of the boef
strength, which, both i'm numbers of men
and excellence of artillery, as apparently
a complete surprise to the British mall-
taTy authorities. Mail news from South
Africa shows how inaccurate have Deen
the estimates of the intelligence depart
ment and the governmental experts. LII
is cleaned therefrom that fair estllnate
of the Boer forces is as follows:
Around Ladysmith $4,000; traversing
Tululand 1000; advancing on Burghers-
dorp 5000; Colesburg 5000; Kimber-
ley 1000; Mafeking 1900; and on the
Northern Transvaal border 1000. Exact
information about the Boer artillery is
lacking, but it is known that General
.Joubert's detachment, before it was re-
inforced. consisted of Is Krupp field
pieces of latest pattern and two heavy
Creuzot siege guns, which but for the
opportune arrival of the British Naval
Brigade, would have rendered Lady
smith untenable.
In connection with the naval guns, the
most interesting and important expert
ment has been successfully carried out
at Cape Town with a Al inch gun, 50
serviceable at Ladysmith. One of the
British cruiser Terrible's guns. mounted
ON a Scott Travelling Carriage, was
fired in the same way as a field gun,
with entire, success. The Terrible, with
4 number of guns thus mounted, is on
her way TO Durham, and though the
guns cannot now reach Ladysmith, they
may be of the greatest value III the de-
fence of Pietermaritzburg, which, it
seems, will probably have 10 stand a
siege. The arrival of the Terrible with
the relief crews for CHINA and other
available men must have placed in the
neighborhood of 5000 more men at the
service, of the military authorities.
Interesting news comes from the chan
mel squadron at Gibraltar, showing pre-
cautions against all evenrualities almost
unknown in European waters in peace
times. On the way to Gibraltar the
fleet spread out four miles apart and a
sharp lookout was kept FOR suspicious
craft.
At Gibraltar extra sentries are posted
at might ait different parts OF the ships,
with ten rounds of ball cartridges each.
The small guns on the upper deck and
the fighting tops are kept ready for inn
mediate use, the ammunition being on
decks: a few men sleep at the gums, the
searchlights are kept working, all boats
are hailed and not allowed to approach
without the permission of the officer of
the watch.

Mothers riend

does expectant mothers so much
good is because it is an external liniment,
to be applied upon the outside, where
much of the strain comes. 1t helps be-
cause the pores of the skin readily absorb
it, and it comes into direct contact with
and is absorbed by the parts involved.
Morning sickness is quickly banished,
and nervousness is kept completely away.
The sense of dread and foreboding is not
experienced, even during labor itself.
Confinement is short and almost without
pain. Recovery is quick and sure. Best
of all, Mothers Friend benefits the
unborn just as much as the expectant
