Msa Who Travel Much Prone to suffuf
from This Disease.
This distressing affection, known
also as Tabes dorsalis. is q disease OF
the spinal cord occurring usually IN
middle life, between thirty and fifty
years of age, but sometimes IN chill
dren as young as ten or twelve years.
It is believed to be due primarily to
some constitutional trouble, but Is
brought on often by exposure to
changes OF weather, by physical or
mental overwork, and by whatever de-
presses the general health. 1t Is said
that railroad men and others who
travel much are prone to suffer from
this disease. Men are affected more
often than women. The first sign OF
The disease Is Usually numbness o.
he feet and an uncertainty in walk
ing, especially in the dark. The patient
feels constantly fatigued, without ap-
parent reason, and sometimes slight
attacks Of dizziness are complained OF.
rhe difficulty in walking gradually in
lreases, and then an awkwardness in
The use of the hands Is noticed. This
becomes very apparent If the patient Is
made to shut his eyes and try to touch
The end of the nose with the index

he finger on or very near the nose,
but one suffering from locomotor
.taxia is as likely to touch the eye or

HUGHES DENIES 1T.
Says He Isn't in the Coal Com
hfne.

Mayor Hughes denies that he is a
member of the coal trust He says &e
is a trust buster from away back. and
hopes that the council will knock the
daylights out of the coal combine which
controls the prices of coal in Topeka.
1.-THE coal combine says Mayor
Hughes, meets every month or SO in
Kansas City and fixes the price of coal.
There are only two or three dealers in
Topeka besides myself who are not
mem bers of the combine. / don't blame
q dealer for going into the combine. 1t
is much harder to stay out than go in,
and involves a harder fight for exist
ence.
MY theory is that a. man can always
buy coal when he has the money to
pay for 1t. There are still a number of
non-union coal shafts in the state, ana
I can buy coal from them. have never
had any trouble in getting coal from
the non-union shafts, but the union, or
combine shafts viii not sell to me-
If Hughes Is not in the combine he
has profited by it for he never has un-
dersold other coal dealers.
II cannot tell what the prices on coal
will he this winter. Pennsylvania an
thracite and substitutes for it, such as
semi anthracite, may be somewhat
lower in case the Santa F'e freight rate
cut goes into effect. It costs So. so a ton
under the old rate from Chicago to To-
peka- Under the cut rate it would be
about a. dollar less, think. Coal on the
Chicago market costs about Sc. 80. If
the Topeka dealers get enough coal in
during the cut rates to last through the
winter, which is doubtful, the price of
anthracite and substitutes will be
somewhat less this winter. The substi-
tutes for anthracite run about the same
as anthracite
All the Pennsylvania anthracite out
put is now in the absolute control of
J. Pierpont Morgan, SO there is another
trust to figure with. If Morgan wants
to raise the price, people viii have to
pay it, that's all.
You can quote me as saying that
am heartily in favor of a movement
against the coal combine. It viii be a
good thing for Topeka, and the coal
dealers will generally be glad if the
combine can be knocked out It may
be difficult to prove that the combine
exists, but all dealers know that it
does exist
do you know how the combine
holds it's meetings in Kansas City? The
laws Of Missouri are very strict against
m Getting of trusts. and so the combine,
after it finishes the transaction of it's
business works a little scheme to
dodge the Missouri law. Some one
moves that all the business transacted
be reconsidered. This is done, and the
meeting adjourns. Then, If the matter
ever comes up in court, everyone will
swear that all the business was recon
sidered, and therefore that nothing
was done at the melting. But the Off
cial reports Of the meeting say moth
ing about reconsideration, and what |
ever il done is Law to the members of |
the combine"
