to pearl tint eye may become yellow,

cows may shrink in milk production.
Treatments The disease being

should be separated from unaffected;
eyes of latter should be washed once

Give each adult animal a one pound
dose Of EPSON salts with one ounce
of saltpeter and one ounce of ground
ginger root in two quarts of warm
water as one dose and follow with a
tablespoonful Of saltpeter twice daily
in drinking water or soft food.
Younger cattle should have the same

REFORMATION AT
~ BLIZZARD CAMP
BY FRANK H. SWEET
BY FRANK H. SWEET
Cop. right. 1902, by T. G. Mcclure

Half a dozen unshaved. red shirted
miners were gathered about the dingy
counter of the one store at Blizzard
Camp. Ii was Christmas eve. and they
wanted something extra for their din
ner OH the morrow just to keep them
in mind Of the day, they said. But
there WAS little novelty In the forlorn
remnant of cans upon the shelves or in
the half empty barrels and boxes under
the counter and massed in the corners
of the room. One man found stray
box of sardines and took possession of
it, with the remark that, while it was
not "Christmasy," he could have the
satisfaction of knowing he was eating
the only sardines in camp. Another
drew out can of Boston baked beans
from behind squadron of tomatoes.
while third, of a more investigating
mind, hunted among the boxes and bar
rels until he actually discovered a can

This brought the entire group of
Christmas hunters into compact. en-

vision Of spoils the door opened apollo

terry eyed man entered.
"Haye you got any-toys!' he asked
hesitatlngly.
The storekeeper stared, and unani-
mously, as though by preconcerted ar
rangement, the group around the can
ned representatives from Cape Cod
turned and stared also.
"Any-whati" the storekeeper asked
blankly.
''Toys," the man repeated, looking at
the encircling faces with abashed en-
barrassment; things to play with, l
mean, like children have at Christmas.

The Coal Trusts Unmasked.

Evening Wisconsin:
The coal inquiry in New York, be-
fore the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, has proceeded far enough
TO show that the government has
good case against the so-called coal
roads" which for years have been
merged with the anthracite mining
companies that control the entire
output of hard csal and in conse-
quence control the wholesale and re-
tail prices for coal. One Of the con-
tracts with the independent" COM
panies was submitted, showing that
the rate for transporting coal to tide
water over the "coal roads" is per-
centage OF the wholesale prices at
the port of delivery. AS the coal
trust controls this selling price,
whenever it puts up prices 1t raises
not only the price of its coal, but the
rate it receives for carrying the pro-
duet of the independents.
Tie tightness Of the grasp which
the trust has on the coal situation is
illustrated by II remark of one OF the
lawyers representing the trust that
the plaintiff and his counsel were
possessed Of an Authorization about
the price of coal "This commission
knows" said the trusts legal repre-.
sentative that the price of coal is 50
Il ton, and it knows that it would
have been ~ or so u ton II the opera
tors demanded it," He might with
equal truth have put the figures at
$I2 aud sl5, or higher, because the
couG inner cannot get hard coal from
other than trust sources, and the
trusts demands therefore rule.
Elk President ELEPHANT OF the Del
aware and Hudson railroad stated
that the cost of mining coal was
forced from $l.40 ton to Sl.70 ton
by the strike. When asked why, in
the light of that fact, the coal com
binatiou had decreed an advance of
10 cents ton for five succ, ssful
months, or until the price had been
raised 50 cents instead of 80 cents, he
replied. THE reason is that we can
get it, anG we can get more" This is
strictly tue. The public has to pay
every time the trust calls for Glore.
The acknowledged fact that the
"coal roads" are not charging spcci fic
rates Tor transportation, but are
maintaining their grip upon the lin
depends hts by Withholding per
centage o! the selling price as the
carrying charge, makes them amen
able to discipline under the provis-
ions of the interstate commerce law.
And the acknowledged monopoly of
the coal trade ought TO make the
coal trust amendable to punishment
under the provisions of the sherman
antitrust law.
