DR.. Raymond M. Evarts, of Santa

your Castoria for children for years
it annoys me greatly to have an ig-
norant druggist substitute some
thing else, especially to the patients
disadvantage, as in this case. / en-

imitation"
DR.. R. NJ. Ward, of Kansas City,
Mo-, says: physicians generally do
not prescribe proprietary prepara-
tions, but in the case of Castoria my
experience, like that of many other
physicians, has taught me to make
an exception. I prescribe your Cas-
toria in my practice because I have
found it to be thoroughly reliable
remedy for children's complaints.

speak good word for your Castoria.
! think so highly of it that / not

have used it in my own family"
DR.. F. H. KYLE, Of st. Paul.
Mimi, says: "It affords me pleasure
to add my name to the long list of
those who have used and now en-
dorse your Castoria. The fact of the
ingredients being known through
the printing of the formula on the
wrapper is one good and sufficient
reason for the recommendation of
any physician. I know of Its good
qualities and recommend it cheer
fully"

It seems that the straddle of the
American Federation OF Labor on the
jurisdictional dispute between the Jour
neymen plumbers and the steamf1tters
will result In a bitter struggle in this
city. The Minneapolis convention did
just as II so often does in questions
Of importance-did not go far enough
What the charter to the steamftters
IS worth unless IL carries with IL steam
filters work. no one but member OF
the executive council of the A T. OF
L is capable of saying. To the steam
filters who are being Disseminated
against in this city it looks very much
like a gold brick AS matters now
stand. the American Federation OF La
Dor has given g charter 70 two inter-
national organizations to do steamfit-
ting work, with the usual result II
the matter is not speedily settled In
this city there will be serious trouble
in labor's ranks The Building Trades
Council will not recognize the steam
ftters TIL the federation makes its de-
cfsfon The plumbers are affiliated with
that council and naturally they VIII
be protected by all the power behind
the council. The steamftters are be-
trade organizations, although the
bricklayers, IL is believed. viii not
strike on a Job where unfon steamf1t-
ters are employed.
The Building Trades Council has
wired President Gompers that he must
decide the question and that questions
which Of right belong to the American
Federation will not be settled by the
Building Trades Council Of San Fran
cisco. Gompers has not seen At to
answer this telegram, although 1t was
sent two weeks ago Some OF the con-
tractors in town are willing 10 stand
by the steamfitters. but 90 not want
men in trades affiliated with the build
ing trades TO leave their work The
whole nuddle is due solely and alone
70 the vacillating policy of the Amer
fcan Federation OF Labor. Much time
was taken. up in the Labor Council last
Friday night over this matter. but IL
seems that so long as Gompers viii not
act the councils hands are tied. The
American Federation must DO one Of
two things TO settle this vexatious dis
nute-take away from the plumbers

oRIoLE AND THE wEEVIL.
Former Should Be Nutured for the
Others Destruction.

Since 1t has proved so exceedingly diff
cult to check the spread and the damage
of the cotton boil weevil the biological sur
vey OF the Department of Agriculture has
been casting around for all the natural
enemies Of the insect with view to diffus-
Ing as much knowledge on the subject as
possible and helping the work Of saving
anything in the way of bird, beast or in
sect that preys on the pest.
Investigations have been made of the
birds in Texas that eatthe weeviI, and al
though the result has not been very impor-
tant. the department has issued a circular
showing the species Of birds that do eat
the weevil. It states that all the weeviIs
enemies should be carefully cultivated and
that although the results shown from the
number Of birds examined is not Individual
~ large, still the aggregate is important.
It is said also by way of encouragement
that when a new insect pest develops, the
native birds do not feed on it as readily
as after they have been accustomed to It.
Therefore there is reason to hope that the
birds that have taken up the weevil habit
will prove more destructive to the insect as
time goes on.
At present the greatest bird enemy Of the
weevil is the oriole. This is only migra-
tory visitant to Texas, but 1t is a bird that
is ruthlessly slaughtered both there and In
Central America for its plumage for hat
trimmings. 1t is unfortunate says the
bulletin, that many of the birds that do the
most damage TO the weevil are not protect
ed by law. Thus the kildeer, two sorts of
blackbird. the Brewer and the red wing.
the plover, the great tailed grackle and
the jack-daw are all outside the pale. Many
of the birds that eat the weevi are migra-
tory and are not protected in other states
where they spend part of the year, and the
bulletin says that general knowledge Of
the usefulness OF the birds should be dis
seminated SO that they could be protected
everywhere and always.

BINGHAM SHOWS HIS HAND.

Special Dispatch to The Star
NEW YORK, July 3-For months New
Workers have stood aghast at the attitude
assumed by Police Inspector Max F.
Schmittberger, whose post included the IA
nous Tenderloin. Schmttberger did what
he thought was best for himself and
friends. and the Tenderloin for tho past
few months has been as wide open as the
side streets of Port Said. Yesterday he
had his reckoning when Gen. Bingham sent
him as far away from the Tenderloin as
the law allows. Other transfers were also
made.
fragrant violations In the Tenderloin of
the laws prohibiting gambling and uncon-
tradicted by the police commanders there
were followed yesterday by the transfer to
the most distanct available posts of Max
F. Schmttberger, inspector IN command of
the district which includes the Tenderloin
precincts, and Capt. William H. Hodgins of
the West Both street station. Schmittberger
goes to Staten Island and Hodgins to City
Island Raids made last Friday over the
heads of these men by Mr.. Waldo deputy
commissioner, foreshadowed the action
which Commissioner Bingham took yester-
day.
These transfers seem unlikely to be the
end of the dissatisfaction which the COM
missioner was at no pains TO conceal over
the conduct of police affairs under Schmitt-
berger and Hodgins.
