A Warning to Mothers.

Too much care cannot be used with
small children during the hot wealth
err of the summer months to guard
against bowel troubles. AS rule it
is only necessary to give the child a
dose of castor oil to correct any dis
order of the bowels. Do not use any
substitute, but give the old-fashioned
castor oil, and see that it is fresh, as
rancid oil nauseates and has a ten
dency to grippe. If this does not check
the bowels give Chamberlain Colo
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and
then a dose of Castor oil, and the
disease may be checked in it's incip
iency and all danger avoided. The
castor oil and this remedy should be
procured at once and kept ready fol-
instant use as soon as the first indi
cation of any bowel trouble appears
This is the most successful treatment
known and may be relied upon with
implicit confidence even in cases OF
cholera infantum. For sale by al

PROBLEMS OF

New York, Aug. 1.-THE care of

was accompanied on his return by

VIEWS OF CHARLES N. HAYS.
Government Rate Making is a Step
Toward Government Ownership.

Toward Government Ownership.
Montreal, Canada, Aug. 11.-"When
a governmtnt takes hand in the reg
ulation of railway affairs in any way,
it is step toward government own.
ership."
These are the words of Charles M.
Hays, vice president of the Grand
Trunk Railway System Mr. Hays
knows whereof he speaks. He has
had much experience in conducting the
affairs or railroads in country where
the government often lends it's assist
ance.
''The Intercolonial System was con-
structed because there was an agree
ment that it should be built when the
different provinces were brought into
federation. The cost was in the neigh
borhood of $75000.O00. The inter-
colonial never earned it's fixed charges
on these seventy-ive millions and long
ago began to count them out of it's
calculations altogether. In addition
there have been constantly increasing
deficits in operating expenses, the lat
est and greatest being that of 1904,
which amounted to 100000. Politics
are to blame for this state of affairs.
Just why can be easily understood.
Il cannot imagine that the people
of the United States would ever ser
iously consider government owner
ship. They are on the verge of this,
however, through the proposal to give
the federal authorities power to fix
their freight rates. Such action will
give the government a direct hand in
the management of the systems and
from that to complete ownership, with
all it's possibilities for political de-
bauchery of business interests, is but
short step. A present intention not
to complete the move, cannot alter
this aspect of the situation.
| another consideration is that the
personal interest that gives vitality
to every business and is so import.
ant in a public service corporation, is
lost if the government takes part as
manager. Here in Canada, where we
have had a law regulating the man
ner and method of fixing railroad
rates for about two years, there is a
tendency to place the burden for abus
es upon the government. There is a
temptation to say. The government is
making the rates; very well. we will
let it do so and devote our time tt
operating the railways. If any ship
per has complaints to make, we will
let him go to the government and MOI
come to u.s. The shortcomings o.
this condition are easily calculated

JEWS IN RUSSIA.
Hebrew Leaders Have an Interview
With Serqus Witte.

win ScT9IuS WIttc
Portsouth, Aug. 17.-Jacob Schiff,
of Kuhn, Loeb & Co., Oscar Strauss
and Isaac Seligman arrived this af-
ternoon for an interview already ar
ranged with M. White on the Jewish
question in Russia. M. White is pre-
pared to explain to them the attitude
of the Russian government, the pres
ent situation and the contemplated
changes in existing laws regarding the
Jews.
Mr.. Strauss, shortly after his arriv-
al at the hotel, made the following
statement:
Eve have come here on very SIM
pie mission. A conference was ar
ranged by NJ. White, who desired to
confer with us regarding the condition
of the Jews in Russia and to discuss
with him how best to improve their
condition and to give them the same
representation as other Russian sub.
jects hay
1T is purely and simply a question
of humanity and the belief on our part
that equal rights among all the sub
jects of Russia will promote the best
interests of that empire.
81 would further say that the Rus
sian Jew question must be settled in
Russia. immigration, no matter how
large it may be. can only affect the
outer surface. M. White, I have un
derstood, has seen with his own eyes
while in this country. the progress
that has been made among the Rus
sian immigrants to America, and sc
what he has seen cannot fail to have
an influence upon him in indicating
the way to make the Russian Jew:
helpful in the upbuilding of that EN-
pire.
81 regard the whole question as ;
very simple one. 1t only involves Civ
ing the subjects of the empire equa
rights. That | regard as fundamen
tai"
Mr.. Strauss was unwilling to speal
on the specific program which tn
delegation might suggest to M. Witt
for the improvement of the condition
of the Jews in Russia.

CURED BY A WATERMELON

0ICCOu9niu9 OCT III.
Being called in consultation not
long since, We were brought to the
bedside of a patient who had under
gone a severe surgical operation,
says Medical Talk.
The patient had been fasting sew
eral days. The surgeon was afraid,
if he allowed his patient to eat or
drink, thai fever or secondary in
fiammation would set in.
His patient had a fancy that she
wanted watermelon to eat. The doc
tor held up his hands in horror at the
thought. "Oh, no! Watermelon
would be the worst thing you could
possibly have So she was obliged
to take beef tea, although it made her
sick every time she did SO. She beg.
ed pitiously for watermelon. But
none was allowed her.
Then a consultation was asked fol-
and it was at this juncture that our
advice was asked. We said: Let
her have the watermelon, of course
1t will do her good. 1t is sure to dc
her good because she wants it. Ma

CARTER INTERVIEWED.
The Senator Tells of Vacant Lands in
Montana.

In an interview in the Milwaukee
Sentinel, United States Senator T. II.
Carter, of Montana, talked of some
of the resources of his state. Speak
ing of irrigation, Senator Carter salu
that $l0,0O0,000 acres will prObabiy
comprise the area of land susceptible
to irrigation in Montana. OF this area
100000 acres in different parts of
the state is now watered by artificial
irrigation. This is composed mostly
of bottom lands contiguous to small
streams taken up by settlers.
The second beach, requiring ca
nails, expensive headgates and dams
on streams beyond the reach of indi-
vidual capital remains unreclaimed.
The government now has three pro-
jects in the course of development,
which will reach large sections of this
higher land. The first includes a vast
territory known as the Elk river dis
trict along the northern boundary of
the state. The two remaining pro.
jects are in the Yellowstone valley
along the line of the Northern Pacific
railway The project east of Billings
is intended to reclaim about 10000
acres recently coded by the Crow In
dams to the United States. The sec
ond project in the Yellowstone valley
will reclaim about the same amount
of land between Glendive on the Vel
lowstone river and Fort Buford on the
Missouri river. Senator Carter adds
Permit me to give an illustration
of what I believe will be the settle
ment of the irrigated portions of this
state The Yellowstone valley, from
Glendive to Livingston, is $50 miles
long, with an average width of about
