TO CURB ALLEGED TRUST.
Roosevelt Seeks to Put Shack1es on
Standard Oil Combine.

President Roosevelt has directed that
the Department of Justice cooperate
with the Department of Commerce and
Labor in the investigation of the affairs
OF the Standard Oil Company. The Pres
ident had a conference with Commits
sioner of Corpora tons Garfield and with
Representative Campbell of Kansas. Mr..
Campbell inaugurated the present inves-
tigation. The Presidents idea in having
the Department of Justice work with
the Department of Commerce and Labor
is that if infOrmatio is received it will
be turned over to the special attorneys
of the Department of Justice, who will
be able to pass on it from legal point
neys believe additional information is de-
sired they can inform the commissioner
of corporations, who will direct that the
necessary evidence be secured.
Commissioner Garfield and the Presi-
dent talked in detail over plans. The
President has placed no limits on the
scope of the inquiry He has told Mr..
Garfield that he expects him to make the
investigation thorough in every respect.
Inquiry into the methods of the Az
legged trust is planned by Texas legisla-
tors. Wisconsin, Missouri and Okla
homa may begin independent investiga-
lions. The Interstate commerce commits
sion is ready to expose the alleged con-
spiracy i'll Kansas if proof of a rate plot
is unearthed. The Illinois Legislature
is also likely to investigate the Standard
Oil Company's operat ions.

BREAKING OF The VOICE.
Il IL Caused by an Organic Change In
the Larynx.


The peculiar physiological causes OF
what is called the breaking Of the
voice are not quite understood, but it
is known to depend Immediately upon
an organic change in the larynX, the
organ of the voice, which occurs in
the male sex between the ages of IA
and 16. Before that the larynx OF
boys resembles that of girls, but when
the voice begins to break the vocal
chords become heightened at least one
third, the angle of the thyroid cartilage
becomes enlarged, and the muscles
which connect the organs of the voice
with the hypold bone and the base OF
the tongue become elongated.
While the change of form is taking
place the voice is untitled for singing
and should be used only with great
care. In other words, the breaking
of the voice is due to the rapid de-
velopment of the larynx, which takes
place at certain ages and which leads
to change in the range of the voice.
The peculiar harshness Of the voice
when it is thus breaking seems to be
due to a temporary congestion and
swollen condition of the mucous men,
brane of the vocal chords accompany
ing the active growth of the whole
larynx.

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN
HOW THEY MAINTAIN THE CHARMS
OF THEIR SEX.
The Importance that Attaches to the Care
of tho Blood If One Wants Bright Eyes
and a Clear Complexion.

anu d Sie6F CO11p1eAlOns
Every sensible woman naturally wishes
toappear attractive. She knows the value
of bright eyes, delicate complexion ana
lively spirits. She knows also that
good health is at the basis of her charms,
and that good blood is the source of good
health.
Miss Mamie Conway has a complexion
which is the admiration of all who know
her. Asked if she could make any sug-
gestions that would be helpful to others
less fortunate, she said:
"My complexion would not have
pleased you, if you had seen it two years
ago. It was then about as bad as it
could be, and it gave me great deal of
dissatisfaction. If you want a good
complexion you must take care of your
health, especially of the condition of
your blood. My health was at that time
completely broken down. I was nervous,
had frequent headaches, torpid liver
and great deal of pain in that region.
[ suffered also from indigestion. 1t was
clear that my blood was i'll bad condition,
for pimples broke out all over my face"

isn't the slightest trace of such blem-
ishes now'

The doctors medicine did me no good,
and took a number of highly recon-
mended tonics with no better result.
AS soon, however, as I began to use DR..
Williams Pink Pills for Pale People my
complexion cleared up, and after had
taken two boxes there was not sign Of
pimple left on my face. My cheeks
became rosy, I gained flesh and have had
perfect health ever since"
Rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes are
merely signs of healthy blood. They have
come not onlyin the case of Miss Conway,
whose home is at 1871 East Eighth street,
Canton, Ohio, but to thousands of
women for whom DR.. Williams Pink
Pills have made new blood. There is no
