ney OF L ucpdrt-
ment of justice, is in Chicago to assist
in the prosecution of the suits.
Attorney General Knox's acfion is the
result of an investigation that Mr.. Be
thea has been conducting for several
weeks. In the Attorney Generals opin-
ion evidence has been found which JUS
titles the prosecution Of the packers UNI
der the law violators are subject to fine
and Imprisonment and their proddcts
while in transit from one State to an
other may be confiscated.
The packers also may be subject to
suits for damages by the butchers and
other persons who may have been injur-
ed in their business and property by the
operations of the beef trust Those who
have been injured in this manner are
given the right by the antitrust law to
enter suit against those who are parties
to the combination and they may recover
in the United States Circuit Court dam
ages amounting to three times the losses
sustained.
In the past it has not often proved an
easy task to wage effective legal battle
against harmful trusts. 1t is not al
ways possible to ascertain the exact ma
ture of the combination by which they
do business.
The Attorney General. with the au-
thorization of the President. will now
proceed to bring the beef trust into
court, where it will be called upon to ex
plain many things. If it is found that
the beef companies by combination have
been restraining trade, throttling compe-
tition, restricting the output or in other
ways trying TO control the market and
raise prices they may not only be en-
joined from continuing these practices
but may Oe subjected to criminal prose
cution as lawbreakers.
Chicago packers say they welcome the
coming investigation of what the federal
government insists is a combine in re-
straint of trade. According to reports
they are awaiting developments and APP
parently not disturbed by the informa-
ton from Washington to the effect that
the department of justice will prosecute
them on orders from Attorney General
Knox. The packers say they would be
glad, indeed. if the people of the United
States would band together and agree
not to eat a pound of meat. for, they de-
clare, there is no profit in the present
high prices.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson has
asserted all along that natural conditions
caused the advance in meat products.
Congressman Feely, who represents the
Chicago stock yards district, holds the
opinion that the Attorney General can
not reach the packers under the anti
trust law.

An Honest Mans Opinion.

Vermont, Mo-, April 2S.-If what Mr..
]. $. T'illery of this place says is true
and none who know him doubt his
honesty--the new remedy. Dodd's Kid
ney Pills. is a wonderful medicine in
deed. Mr.. Tillery says:
II had Kidney and Liver Trouble for
years. had used many medicines, but
could get nothing to cure me.
Il heard of a new remedy called
Dodd's Kidney Pills and began a treat
ment, with the result that l was very
soon on the mend.
II kept on using the pills snd am now
entirely better l honestly do believe
that they are the greatest remedy the
world has ever seen.
II am always willing to help a good
thing, and l cannot say too much for
one that helped me so much.
IF | didn't know that Dodd's Kid
ney Pills would dc all that is claimed
for them l wouldn't say a word of
praise for them"

BUTTER PRICES BOOSTED.
O1eo Bill Said to Have Been the Cause
of the Skyward Advance.

While meat has been climbing up in
price and the federal government prepar-
ing to investigate the cause, butter, too,
has been busy. The antics of this staple
have been acrobatic enough to puzzle ev-
erybody not engaged in the business.
The oleomargarine interests declare the
price has been boosted by the butter
spectators in anticipation of the passage
of the Circuit bill by Congress. This is
denied by the dairymen. The fact re-
mains, however, that on April II butter
sold for 311a cents in Chicago, the high
est price spring butter has brought in
Chicago since 1898.
The price ofbutter began to advance
when the Senate took up the bill to place
a tax of 10 cents pound on oleomarga-
rine ''colored in imitation of butter"
The price of the commodity declined TO
20 cents April II, rose TO 3112 cents
April H. and after a storm had been
reused by the high prices of butter drop
ped to % cents April 10. This the OPP
ponents of the Grout bill assert was di-
rectly due to fears of the butter men
that the bill would fail to pass if the
high prices kept up.
Here is a comparative table of butter
prices from the Chicago Dairy Produce,
the organ of the butter interests:

Quality in Thunder.

Thunder is due to a sudden disturb
ance of the air by violent discharge
of electricity and the character of the
sound varies according to the position
of the observer relative to the path of
discharge. A fash is sometimes mile
long. If the observer is located at
about the same distance fronl each OF
the bodies between which the dis
charge takes place the sound of the
thunder would be sharp clap. If the
observer is nearer one end than the
portion of the sound reaches Kim more
quickly than the other
Sound travels at the rate of about L.
100 feet per second and light at $4,000

How Cheap Baking Powder Is Made.

How Cheap Baking Powder Is Made.
The Health Department of New York
has seized quantity of so-called cheap
baking powder, which it found in that
city. Attention was attracted to it by
the low price at which it was being sold
in the department stores. Samples
were taken and the chemist of the
Health Department reported the stuff
to be composed chiefly of alum and pull
verified rock.
The powder was declared to be dan
gerous to health, and several thousand
pounds were carted to the offal dock
and destroyed.
1t is unsafe to experiment with these
so-called cheap articles of food. They
are sure to be made from alum, rock,
or other injurious matter In baking
powders, the high class. cream of tar
tar brands are the most economical, be-
cause they go farther in use and are
healthful beyond question.

The Travelling Captain Of Industry

A millionaire lay dying,
He'd been hogging things for years;
There were cold drops on his forehead
And his eyes were fnll of tears.
A nurse bent low to listen
To what he had to say
And heard him family mutter
Ere his spirit passed away:
Il see the sable boatman
And there's his somber prov;
He calls to me to hurry.
His decks are crowded now;
He tells me that they make him
Keep running day and night;
He says his biz is booming,
With no let-up in sight!
Oh. if only had my old
Cunning | would just
Get papers in New Jersey
And make this thing a trust;
I'd take the line from Charon
And fix a rate of fare
To charge the crowds of people
Who have to journey there;
All. what chance is wasted,
Alas" He gave a groan
And then a little gurgle
And left for parts unknown.
