Big Profit in Mushrooms.

The growing of mushrooms for mar
ket has become an industry of consider
able Importance in this country. 1t has,
however, been handicapped in it's de-
velopment by the fact that it was neces-
sary to import most Of the spawn, which
are exceedingly difficult to grow. The
department of agriculture announces
that it has discovered a simple and prac-
teal method by which not. only a high
grade of the spawn of the cultivated
mushroom, but of many of the Wild va
%rieties, may be produced. 1t is believed
that the use of this method will obviate
the necessity of importing the 1900, 900
pounds of mushrooms we now get from
France annually.-Rural World.

A GRIPPE is epidemic catarrh. 1t
- spares no class or nationality. The
cultured and the ignorant, the aristocrat
and the pauper, the masses and the class
es are alike subject to Ia grippe. None
are exempt-all are liable.
Have you the grip? Or, rather, has
the grip got you? Grip is well named.
The original French term, la grippe,
has been shortened by the busy Ameri-
can to read grip" Without intending
to do so a new word has been coined
that exactly describes the case. AS if
some hideous giant with awful GRIP had
clutched US in its fatal clasp. Men,
women, and children, whole towns and
cities are caught in the baneful grip of a
terrible monster.
The following letters speak for them

Pe-rd-na Not Only Cured La Grippe but

Last spring 1 suffered from la grippe
and was partially cured, but the bad
after effects remained through the sum-
mer and somehow 1 did not get strong as
I was before. One of my college friends
who was visiting me asked me to try Pc

more than I had expected. 1t not only

Cracking Grain for stock.

l have had considerable experience

feeding it whole. However, l do not
grind fine, but believe it better to sim

grain to sows with young pigs, weaned
pigs, young cows and horses when 1
work them. feed either dry or scalded.
1 always add a pinch of salt at each feed
ing. 1 do not believe in cooking feed,
but simply like to have it scalded with
very hot or boiling water and fed while
warm. 1 believe young stock have bet

PILL TRADE MARK INITIATED.
Druggist and Clerk Are Held in Bail
for Court.


Charged with infringing upon the trade
mark of Carriers Little Liver Pill Com
pany, Joseph I. Griffith, a druggist at the
southeast corner of Eleventh and Vine
streets, was held in $500 bail for Court
this afternoon by Magistrate Jermon, and
at the same time GrIffith's clerk, Joseph
c. Fore, was held in $500 bail for Court on
the same charge, and also for selling GER
tain articles the sale of which is prohibited
by law.
The men were arrested this morning
upon warrants issued by Magistrate Jer-
mon at the instance of Brent Good, No.

race, New York, representatives of the
Carter Company. They stated that the
latter had spent s., 900 900 in advertising
and getting their label known, and did not
purpose to permit others to reap the bene-
fits.
The label in question is a small one con-
tanning a large letter L., and the one used
by Griffith is an exact copy, except that it
does not contain Carter's name.
The prosecution showed how easily the
imitation product could be palmed off on
the would-be purchaser of Carriers pills,
owing to the similarity of the labels, and
held that it was evidence of a deliberate

that, in fact, prices have not gone up.
They show, for example, what weak,
punny, little harmless affair our billion.

little more than one-half of our steel
output. They say that st is obvious
that a company producing only one.
half of any given article. entering q
given markets could not maintain ex.
cessiyely high prices" The misrepre-
sentation in these statements lies In
the fact that as to many Of the finished
products of steel the trust has an al,
most absolute monopoly and can and
does charge exorbitant prices. az 10
demonstrated by its export prices Of
these same goods. In tin plates, barbea
wire, wire nails, and many other
articles, the trust has virtual monop.

from 30 to 100 per cent. more than 1t
charges foreigners for these goods.
In nearly all other of Its products,
such as steel rails, billet plates, struct-
ural work, ETC., In which 1t produces
only half of the country's output. It
has "gentlemen's agreements" with
other manufacturers which enable 1t,
as well as other manufacturers, to get
the full benefit of the high tariff du,
ties on these goods. In this way IT
gets s2s ton for steel rails sold In
this country. while selling them abroad

The Review has never regarded the
course Of the Louisiana authorities In
the matter of the disputed territory as
more than bluff and has been surprised
That the industries here having so much
at stake have not called It; but IL there
was wanted conclusive evidence Of the
fact that Louisiana has gone into tho
courts to establish her claim TO the prop
orty there. II she has title clear
enough to use in righteousness, judicial
and military authority out there, why
not have stood upon that and forced
Mississippi to take measures Of eject
ment. Instead Of pursuing that course,
she has gone into the courts asking that
the property be adjudged to her and at
the same time has figured safely upon
the pusillanimity Of our people and has
sent law officers out to the country in
dispute and arbitrarily driven all away
and, with the power OF the autocrat ta-
ken charge. And we, like lot Of MIN
nies, have quietly submitted to 1t. In
the court proceedings Ia TO be found the
conclusive concession OF a recognized
lack OF real authority out there, for it is
uncomfortable that SO tardy course
would have been adopted and the initia-
tory act, too, made by that State, IL 1t
was thought there was any esta blished
claim to the property. The Louisiana
authorities have arbitrarily taken the
property, have driven out those who
for all time have been the recognized
owners without resistance; why should
they have gone into long and costly
litigation over that which they had il 1t
was supposed the right to takeposses-
sion now would be sustained by right
eous authorityp The thing is absurd,
and We deserve all and more that we
submit to 1t. Instead OF going around |
getting up petitions asking tho Cover
nor to act, who has no authority at all |
under the circumstances, we should as |
men assert our rights, as we would do
II our houses we're invaded by an intru-
der and we we're told to vacate.
