Sponges are gathered by means of a
long pole with a hook attached to the
lower end, with which the sponge fish
erman is very expert. He lies upon his
stomach in the stern of boat look

with a glass bottom, which does away
with the glare from the water and al

while the boatman rows or sculls the
boat. A schooner lies at anchor near
by, from which half a dozen or more
of these small boats fish. 1t returns

Most men know that corn. less than
any other of our cereal crops, dcpletes
the fertility of the soil on which it is
grown. yet not all know why this is.
Corn to Il greater extent than any 9th
or cereal is carbonaceouS or fat produc-
ing, and as this carbon element is all
derived from the sun and air the crop
therefore draws lightly on the soil.

The PRESIDENT And TRAFFIC
A New Factor Injected Into the Interstate Com.
merce Situation Criticisms of the
Commission.

interstate commerce law agitation Is
temporarily held UP pending the vigorous
Investigation which President Roosevelt
and Attorney General Knox are making
into the effectiveness of the statute and
the violations Of both the interstate COM
merce law and the Sherman antitrust
law by the railroads. Advocates and OPP
ponents of the principle Of giving COM
mission the power to make railroad rates
are standing one side for the time being
and waiting for the finish of the house
cleaning which is now on At no time
in the history of the country has the agi-
tation for effective amendments to tine
interstate commerce law been as vigorous
as within the past six months. The
merger plans of James J. Hill and E. H.
Hartman have done much to arouse this
sentiment among the people, while for
reasons best known to themselves, GER
tain eastern railroads have acquiesced in
the proposition at least to give the COM
mission supervisory power over rates.
Traffic men in the west and many ship
pers have regarded such action as too
radical to be considered A large body
OF western as we'll as eastern shippers
prominent among whom are the millers of
, the southwest, have insisted that the only
way to stop rate discrimination was in
more power TO the interstate commerce
commission. ....
ed with arguments pro and con since he
began to prepare his message to congress.
Some OF the most effective arguments
against giving the commission rate-mak-
ing power came from some of the largest
shipping interests Of the northwest.
President Roosevelt declared in his mes
sage that the law should be amended.
With Attorney General Knc he is now
preparing to get to the bottom of what
the country needs in such legislation and
pending the result the agitators are TAX
ing lay-off.
Associations Being Dissolved.
Railroad men do not consider that they
are contributing all of the fun now going
on. Theretis a general hustle to do away
with associations that are plainly in op-
position to either the antitrust law or
the Interstate commerce law. Among the
many arguments made throughout the
country and at Washington is that Ger
tain provisions of the Sherman anti trust
law conflict with the purpose and sue
cessful working of sections of the inter-
state commerce law when it comes to the
maintenance OF rates. The interstate
commerce law requires the maintenance
of published tariff rates but declares pool
ing for that or any other purpose among
railroads Illegal. By the anti trust law
railroads are prohibited for comforting to-
gether for such a purpose. Traffic men

VALUE OF TESTIMONY
Greater Than Assertion,

There is none of us so hardened but
that when we have been able to aid our
fellow creatures by comforting a benefit or
bringing a little comfort into their lives
we like to have appreciation shown. This
generally affords more pleasure than the
performance of the act itself, and in this
connection the following letter from a
Paris, Texas. lady is of more than usual
interest: Dear Friends:-I address you
as such. for you have been such to me.
l suffered for three years off and on with
piles. l was treated at the hospital, and
the new aud elegant hospital, of Mem
phis; they only gave me temporary relief
I came west, thinking the change of air
and water would benefit me; i've months
ago the bleeding piles came back on me,
and bled so much that thought l would
die. l have had four of the finest doc
tors in this section of Texas; all they did
was to finally nearly let me go to my
grave; all they wanted was big sum OF
money from me and to operate on me
/ said no. no surgeons knife would en-
ter me: if it was my time to die, God
knew il, and when l died would die all
together. I began hearing about your
medicine. l had no faith in you, but l
sent and got box of your Pyramid Pile

was we'll. God bless you for putting such
a wonderful medicine within the reach OF
suffering men and women. l shall never
cease to recommend your medicine or be
without It; also I used your Pyramid
Pills. Sallie A. Hearndon." Testimony
like this should be more convincing than
all claims and assertions and should leave
no doubt in the mind of the reader as to
the merit Of the remedy Pyramid Pile
