THE TRACTION ISSUE.

From 1850 Ia 1850 the Aldermen of
the city of Chicago were busily en-
gagged in giving away the streets to
street ear companies and other corpora
lions.
During the past five years the pcopl"
have awakened To the fact that they
have been fcarfully wronged in this
direction.
Franchise after franchise was given
away with no advantage whatsoever
accrung to the public and every posi-
BILE advantage being given To the cor
pOlatons.
Not only the surface of the streets
but tina, portion of the earth lying he.
meath the streets has been given away.
The corporations have not been re
CURED 10 pave the streets.
That expense was left io the tax
payers.
The corporations were NOT required
10 repair the streets.
That expense was left TO the city gov
eminent.
No attention Whatsoever was paid
10 the rights or needs of The people
using the street cars.
There was no regulation of fares.
No stipulation for seats.
No accommodations specifically pre-
| Scrihcd for the public.
II was all for the Stockholders of the
corporation anS nothing for the poor
everyday citizen.
The people now have u chance 10 ret
back ~ the street ear companies.
furty.siX of their franchises expire
between now ana May |, 1908.
These franchises should not bc re-
ncwcd unless the people get what they
| want on every one of them.
Mayor Harrison has proven himself
10 b" tile only man with the courage
To stand up for the peoples rights In
this franchise matter

If You see the lean twentieth century
Girl >lyly lift something from her vest

may he sure 1t Is an alfalfa tablet. The
matinee girl will also be seen munch-
lng alfalfa bOnbOns. Scrawny and at
tcnuat"d humanity will drink fluid cX-
tract of alfalfa seeds, 1t all came
about through Il discovery made by n
modest country doctor IN Kansas, the
State that has contributed so much to
the science of fattcning live stock. This
doctor who accidentally discovered the
fat-making potency of alfalfa, was for
mcrly fish commissioner of Kansas, and
while IN that office he received some
Interesting reports from foreign COM
tries on fish culture and kindred sub
jects. In one Of these reports he read
of the wonderful fattcning properties
of seed discovered in Asia Minor
which had been successfully utilized by
the Sultan of Turkey when plumpncss
was the vogue in the Turkish harcm.
Living in a State famed for It's fat stock
exhibits, the doctors curiosity was
aroused ana he sent for some Of the
seed Of the Aslatlc plant, ana learned
that II was nothing more than the seed
Of alfalfa grass. But the Kansas scicn.
list did not stop with this discovery,
He reasoned that If alfalfa could ill n
Turkish harem with joyous rotundlty II
could be utilized to ill up the lean
places Of modern femlnlnlty with
healthy adlposc. He knew that the
lank and willowy twentieth century
girl would not look well going around
chewing alfalfa grass. Neither would
she fancy alfalfa porrldge for a steady
diet, Accordingly he finally succeeded
in making a palatable extract of alfalfa
seeds, as pleasant to the taste as syrup
of squills. He began trying this cX.
tract on the population of Kansas sew.
cral weeks ago, He himself took three
tablespoonfuls Of the extract every day.
The results are astonishing. The first
effect was sudden influx of tailors to
