ANTITOXIN TRUST IS
 PLAYING WITH LIFE
Since the Discovery of the Valuable Product Everything Has Been Done to Encourage Its Use, and the Manufac-
 turers Have Now Doubled Price to Consumers

Chicago, January 16-An official state ment regarding the death trust in anti toxin was issued today by Secretary E. R. Pritchard of the health department of the city of Chicago. The statement is as follows:
 "The antitoxin trust Is nothing more than a traffic in human life. These con cerns which manufacture and practically control the antitoxin supply of almost the entire country, have seen fit to arbitrarily advance the price of their product 100 per cent.
 This discovery was made by the de- pertinent of health of the city of Chicago only a few days ago. The department felt compelled to call public attention to this action of the trust, and to the evi- dence that a combine had been formed which efiectually controlled the price of the only known remedy for the most dreaded scourge to the child life of the country.

 European CaVaIg
IS DISCUSSED
He Declares That New Methods Should Be Introduced for the Preserva- ton of the Great Ameri-
 can Forests.

Washington, January 16.-Although tho United States is deficient in creating new breeds of animals. according to Seore- tary Wilson. who outlined the policy of the department of agriculture to the house committee on agriculture today, Sir Thomas Upton buys horses and pigs at Chicago.
 The horses, said the secretary, he ships to Ireland and trains then as jump CTS. then sells them in Great Britain to ten stone Englshmen" as Irish jump CTS. The pigs, of which he selects the thin ones, he cans as Irish baeon." which he also sells in England.
 Secretary Wilson believes the United States can furnish the mounts for the cavalry of Europe with proper study of the breeding of horses, and the depart ment Is turning it's attention to this sub juct at the present time The only thing the United States has ever produced in the way of new breeds he says, is per- haps a few breeds of hens, although we have converted a running horse Into a trotter
 Discusses Problem of Irrigation.
 Many other statements of unusual in- tefeSt were made to the committee by the secretary Discussing the problem of irrigation he said the experts of his de- pertinent were studying the problem of how to handle the soil so as to conserve the water available In this connection he mentioned the sugar beet crop which, he said was steadily on the increase
 The forests of the country, the seore- tary declared to be disappearing at an alarming rate He asked for an Increase of $100000 additional for the bureau of forestry, declaring this 10 be the time to 'naugurate the new rnA hods in forestrys
 Touching oH ta etatiitieal wc'E or his department. the secretary refuted vlgor- ousy the idea that there was or could be a lead regarding crop prognostications." He told the committee that he had in- vited the New York cotton exchange to send a man to him and he would appoint him on the stan of the bureau so that he might learn the methods employed.
 Incapable of Graspng System.
 The man was sent but the secretary de- clared him to be incapable of grasping the system. MT. Wilson invited the commit tee to visit the bureau, telling the nom bers that he would loeN them in the room with the statistician when the results were being tabulated so they might ob- serve the whole process
 The object of the bureau was to furnish the producer reliable information regard ing the state of the crops of this country. Tins has been done in the past to a re- markable degree of accuracy. and he be- lieved the statistics of this year would prove nearly as correct.

furnished it's own medical inspectors to administer and has provided the antitoxin in all cases where people were too poor to purchase It The horizontal increase in price made by the trust means that the city of Chicago will be compelled to ap- propriate double the sum to do the same amount of charity work in diphtheria cases for 1904 that 1t did in 1903.
 '.Outside of this, the burden will fall heaviest on the self-respecting. self-sup- porting beads of families of moderate in- comes. It should be noted that the in creased prices quoted by the trust to tho city are the prices of the manufacturers to a iobber.
 This means only the inltia! or starting point of the advance in tiie c1st of the product. The jobber must increase hts price approximately to the dealer. the dealer must increase his price to the phy- sician who purchases fropl hin;, and the physician must increase his fees to cover the cost of administering this life-saving remedy.
 This applies not only to Chicago but practically to the entire country The publicity already given has aroused the medical profession to the highest indigna- tion. "E. R. PRlTCHARD,

Regards Was as Inevitable.

London January 16.-The Spectator now regards war as inevitable, in which 1t merely follows up it's own significant line of argument-that Russo-Japanese war would be to Great Britain's advantage so long as Great Britain is only an onlooker and while the struggle does not involve any other power.
 The Spectator has previously pointed out in guarded language that such war was likely to leave both Russia and Japan crippled neither gaining an advan- tage over the other, which suggests the deduction current in official circles here that in the event Great Britain would be in a better position to further her spheres of influence in the far east without fear of Japan becoming too paramount a power in that quarter of the globe. Baron Ha- yashi said humorously tonight:
 Great Britain and America might wel raise a subscription in our behalf for if war results and we win, they are bound to benefit by it."
