ABOUT BACKACHE.
The various Causes Of This Very
Common AmIctiun Call for
Medical Advice.

Pain in the hack is one Of the com
monost Of the ill, affecting humanity.
and at the same time it is often one
Of the most GjHcult to relieve and the
most pulling to trace to it's origin.
II is symptom of many acute dis
eases, such as spinal meningitis,
smallpox, malaria, influenza. and so
forth. but in such cases it is OF short
duration and its cause is usually eu-
dent, says Youth's Companion.
The backnchc Of gladstone. renal
collie. or simple stomach-ache is also
an acute affair, and disappears rapid
ly when the gladstone or kidney
stone is passed, or the iiatulence re-
lieved
II is different, however, with the
chronic form, which 80 often deiics
all the skill and ingenuity of the
physician, and exhausts the patience
of the sufferer with its persistence
and wearying, boring. wrenching
pain.

GROCER ARRESTED
For Selling impure Food--A Hard
Fought Trial is Expected

At Dayton, Ohio, a grocer named
John L. Schuster, has been arrested
for selling Arbuckle's Ariosa COTE.
The Pure Food Department of Ohio
claim that the glazing on Ariosa
Coffee makes it unstable in that
state. This interests other grocerS,
because similar actions are likely to
be brought against them for selling
Arbuckle' S, or any other coffee which
has been glazed or coated.
The trial has been set for June I'd.
1t is understood that the Arbuckles
will send New York lawyers to de-
fend the case The Pure Food and
Dairy Commissioner, Joseph H.
Blackburn, will employ the best legal
talent he can secure to represent the
states side of the case. The laws
of Ohio are very strict in protecting
the people against impure food. 1t
is claimed that Arbuckle's Coffee is
impure, because it is coated with
a glazing that serves to cover up
defects and make the coffee look
better than it really is, and that
this glazing is cheaper than coffee.
Every one who drinks coffee will be
interested in the outcome of this
case.

The oleo bill is now a law. 1t
goes into effect July I. By the
terms of this law, oleo, and all other
sorts of imitation butter, colorod in
representation of butter, is taxed at
the rate of ten cents a pound. This
law is not alone in the interest of
the dairyman and farmer, the manu-
facturers of butter, but is in the in
terest of the consumers of butter and
of oleo as well. The coloring of
oleo in imitation of butter is a fraud.
The coloring is done for deception,
to make the purchaser think he is
buying butter and thus get higher
price than it would bring if sold on
its merits as cleo.

Periodically there appears in the
press-generally in the agricultural
papers--screeds in condemnation
and ridicule of Congress and the
Department of Agriculture for fur
nishing free seeds to farmers. These
writings contain the assertion that
the seeds are unreliable in the posi-
bility of termination and inferior in
the quality of the grain, vegetable,
or flower. These complaints never
come from the farmer but are pub
lished in the interest of the seed
merchants. The fact is demonstrated
that it is the intention of the govern
ment to furnish good seed of the
best kind of vegetables and grains.
By this means every farmer can get
start of that kind of product best
adapted to his locality, climate and
soil. The free distribution of seeds
of the best plants by the govern
mcnt is all right for everybody ex-
cept the professional scotsman.

The mayor and people of Grand

There are a multiplicity of reasons
apparent for the high price of
meats. The primary cause, the
main cause-in fact practically the
whole reasons because of the re-
duced number of cattle, hogs and
sheep available. The reason why
beeves, fat hogs and mutton sheep
are scarce is due to a number of
causes. The drought had much to
do with it. The high price of feed
added an occasion for the reduction
of the number, but the war in the
Philippines and in South Africa
was the potent cause. The soldiers
IN the east have been literally sup
piled with such meats as were suit
able for them and safe for the
government to send. The British
government has bought a large
quantity of meat here for its armies.
1t recently contracted with an Amer
lean packing house for 100000 cases
of canned beef and 100000 pounds
of sliced bacons in tin cans for
prompt shipment.

"Quit eating meat. That will
bring the beef trust to terms" This
foolish cry is being made all over the
land. Ifmeat is SO high that people
generally cannot afford to buy, they
will not, as matter of course, but
their failure to purchase does not
greatly affect the beef trust. These,
the packers, the butchers, are sim
ply the middlemen between the pro-
ducer and the consumer. If the
consumer fails to buy when the pro-
Queer wants to sell the loss falls upon
him-the producer.

Some of the old-line politicians of
the party, the moss-backs, the ma
chine politicians, get nervous at the
independence and directness mani
tested by President Roosevelt in his
administration of the executive
branch of the government. They
seem to be afraid that his abruptness
in the execution of the law may hurt
somebody. They believe in halt
ing policy, more dilatory; to observe
circumspection. Men of policy find
occasion to hedge, and wish to have
room for leeway. Roosevelt uses
no circumlocution, no indirection, no
evasion. With him ga spade is a
spade" and what the law directs
must be done. The people under
stand him. They know what he
means, for they are sure that he
resorts to no subterfuges; he means
what he says and he deals with all
questions and all men in the open.
What the machine politicians may
think of the President is of little
consequence. 1t need give the
President no disquiet. He stands
for the people and they will form
solid phalanx in his support. It is
the people who rule at the present
time, with Theot9are Roosevelt
as president of the United States.
