AN OPEN Letter TO
Middle=aged and Old
IL IT
Who are Troubled with Urinary Irritations
and Difficulties.

Many men, especially men past
middle age, suffer from a too frequent
desire to ur1nate, with irritation and
strain accompanying the passage.
Usually the cause of this is an en-
largement Of the prostate gland or an
obstruction within the urethral pas
sage. Any symptom Of this character
does not indicate, as popularity sup
posed, the presence Of any kidney or
bladder trouble. 1t proves instead the
unhealthy condition Of the mucous
membranes lining the water passages.
No kidney or, bladder cure can do
away with these troubles, because
such preparations simply stimulate
these organs, do not strike at the
root Of the difficulty, and ultimately
do more harm than good.

THE BEEF TRUST
PACKERS MAY; BE. $51NvEsr1GATED-TH
LsGOYERNNENT TO TAKE ACTION

Much has been said and written about the
operations of the alleged beef trust and its
ruinous effect on the live stock industry Of the
country. Consumers, too, are wailtng at the
extortionate prices exacted for meats of all
kinds, and cannot understand why they should
be 50 high when 1t is generally known that
beef and mutton bringing only fair prices
on the hoof. Packer blames retailer, and re-
taller says not guilty, and SO the question has
been threshed about until at last 1t has found
Its way into congress- with the object of having
the secretary of labor and commerce investigate.
This is as it should be. There is no deny
ing the fact that there is wide and unjust
spread in the value OF the animal on hoof and
the dressed product on the block. Producer or
consumer is being robbed and it is fit and proper
that the blame If any exists should be fixed
on the guilty parties by some high tribuna..
There is no question In which the public is SO
vitality concerned as in our meat supply, and
there: is no industry more important than that
of live stock. .>Af - 50 rs
On the initiative of Congressman Martin of
South Dakota effort will be made in the
house of representatives to have the secretary
Of commerce and labor investigate the cause
Of the low prices of beef cattle since July /,
1909; and the unusually large margins between
the price Of beef cattle and the selling prices Of
fresh beef, and whether this has resulted in
whole or in part from any combination or trust
or conspiracy In restraint of trade and COM
merce, and, If SO, to Investigate the organiza-
tion, capitalization, profits, conduct aud man
agement Of the business Of such combination,
| and make early report with regard to it.
