One particular feature of the mirth-

effect that when holding q drill for

Mischievous Legislation Threatened.

Legislation Is threatened In many
States during this coming winter for
the suppression of the so-called pat
ent'' medicines. The success of such
legislation would near the abolition OF
the home medicine chest and would
force persons, no matter how remote
their homes from a physician, to call
in q doctor for every minor ailment.
The legislation as proposed would
mean frequent long delays awaiting
the arrival Of a physician, when a sim
pie remedy administered by a member
of the household would accomplish the
result desired, or at least give tempo
rary relief.

able or unreasonable. is unwise. What
we need is to have some administrative
d body with ample power to forbid COM
bination that is hurtful to the public,
and to prevent favoritism to one indi-
vidual at the expense of another.
In other words. we want an admin
istrative body with the power to secure
fair and just treatment as among all
shippers who use the railroads-and all
shippers have a right to use them. We
must not leave the enforcement of such
a law merely to the department of JUS
tice; it is out of the question for the
law department of the government to do
what should be purely administrative
work.
The abuses of which we have a genu-
inc right to complain take many shapes.
Rebates are not now often given openly.
But they can be given just as effective
ly in covert form, and private cars, ter
minal tracks. and the like must be
brought under the control of the commits
sion or administrative body, which is
to exercise supervision by the govern
ment.
But, in my Judgment. the most impor-
tant thing to do is to give to this admin
istrativc body power to make its find
ings effective, and this can be done only
by giving it power, when complaint is
made of a given rate as being unjust
or unreasonable, if it finds the complaint
proper, then itself to fix a maximum
rate which it regards as just and rea-
sonable. this rate to so into effect prac-
tically at once-that is, within a rea-
sonable time-and TO stay in effect UNI
less reversed by the courts.
1t must be understood. as a matter
of course, that if this power is granted
it is to be exercised with wisdom and
caution and self restraint. The inter-
state commerce commissioner or other
government official who failed to protect
a railroad that was in the right against
any clamor, no matter how violent, oil
the part Of the public, would be guilty
of as gross a wrong as If he %corruptly
rendered an improper service to the rail-
road at the expense of the public.
Lashes the Grafters.

"You are false to your trust as Ameri-
can citizens if o allow such a man
to remain in Office a single day. Nc
matter how high the mans standing,
drive him out if he is corrupt"
'sThe surest way of bunting the pub
lie conscience in dealing with corrup.
tian is to confuse the public mind as
to who is corrupt and who is not.

STRENGTHEN THE STOMACH
Or. Williams Pink Pills Really Curs
Indigestion Instead Of Merely
Relieving Symptoms.

There are plenty of remedies by which
you can relieve for the time heartburn,
pain and gas on the stomach and can
smother nervous sensations and induce
artificial sleep. You can humor your
stomach by giving it predigested food.
But when you take your next meal all
your trouble begins afresh.
There is only one sensible thing to do.
Strengthen the stomach and do away
with the necessity for drugs and arti-
fetal foods. The best remedy ever found
for this purpose is the III that was used
by f. f. Strong, of C~apleville, Shelby

Much Timber Uncut.

Across the great lakes in Canada
there lies one of the worlds largest
reserves Of timber. In spite Of thei
tariff imposed much Of this timber Is
to-day coming to the United States.
The forests of the Dominion are begin
ming to yield abundantly. More q
100 600 600 feet Of pine sawlogs and
square timber, during a recent season,
were cut upon territory held under
timber license from the crown
Much OF Canada's timber land has
not vet ever been explored. In the
newly developed districts OF Algoma,
which are close to the great lakes, IT,
is estimated that there are more than
O ,OOO,OoO cords Of spruce and pulp
wood. while in the districts of Thun-
der Bay and Rainy River there are
nearly 2OO,OOO,OOO cords more. A belt
at least 5000 miles long is believed to-
exist in Canada between Alaska and
the Atlantic.
1t has been estimated that, at the
present rate of cutting, the greatest
timber resources of the United States
those of the Pacific coast--will be
exhausted In less than half a century.
The annual cut Of shingles n lumber
in these regions is 4,~500,OOO,OOO feet.
The standing timber in Washington,
Oregon and northern California at
present is twice that of the original
timber lands of the northern woods.
Washington produces about as many
feet OF shingles and other lumber as
Oregon and California together. This
State is noted for its shingles, there
being more than 1000 single mills
within it's borders. At Tacoma are To-
Gated the largest sawmills in the
United States.

A Singular Fact About Gems.

1t Is n rather singular 1act lhat the
most precious gems are composed of
the most common substances. The
diamond is the purest form Of carbon,
and is identical in composition with
ordinary charcoal without the impuri-
ties of the charcoal. The ruby, OF the
other hand, is nearly pure alumina, a
substance found in p~rofusion in every
clay bank. The scientific name for
crystallized alumina is corundum, and
the gems comprehended under this des-
ignation are sometimes more valuable
than diamonds of the same weight.
The ruby, the sapphire, the oriental
emerald, topaz, amethyst, aqua marine,
c%hrysolite, the hyacinth and other pre-
cious stones are all alumina. the va
rieties OF color being caused by map
preciable quantities Of metallic oxides.

SOUNDS A RATE LAW CALL.

In his tour of the South President
Roosevelt has spoken many times. At

ginning his address reviewed North
Cardinals part in the making Of the
history of the republic, and alluded to
its present condition of prosperity. He
spoke Of the duties of the individual
citizen to the nation and to the State,
and then launched into the main pur-
pose of his address, the government
supervision of railways. On this sub
ject he said:
/ do not believe in government owner
ship CT anything which can with pro-
priety be left in private hands, and in
particular l should most s~trenuously OBJ

the government not to exercise n SUPER

managed in a spirit of fairness and JUS

Actual experience has shown that it
is not possible to leave the railroads
uncontrolled Such a system, or rather
such a lack Of system, is fertile in
abuses of every kind, and puts a pre-
