miles, It, Is not so far from use
In its influence.
When the father of the present
Gear of Russia, Alexander III,
undertook to build railroad
across Siberia to Vladivostok the
most southern point of the Russian
possessions bordering upon the
Pacific, it was understood that
the road was to be for military
purposes. II was OF course known
that Siberia was a great country
great in dts possibilities-but 1t
was for the purpose of carrying
munitions of war rather than
for hauling commerce that the
road was proposed.
1t was built at an expense of
hundreds of millions of dollars
and extended for thousands of
miles. 1t was used. during the
Russian-Japanese war for military
purposes, and It's mission seemed
fulfilled. But 1t Is now found
that instead of being demanded
solely for military purposes. that
the commerce offered 1t Is far be-
yond its carrying capacity and 1t
Is now being double tracked.
Naturally there are those who
still claim that the Improvement

facilities. are to still further
strengthen Russia's military powers

CHAncELLOR DAY, AGAIN

Chancellor Day, d Syracuse uni
versity has found way of getting
his defence OF the Standard Oil COM
pany and his attack upon President
Roosevelt into the hands of men who
he hopes will read it and become
convinced that the big oil trust is
the greatest benefactor of the age,
whose operations have smoothed the
pathway of man. But If reports can
be believed, more of his nicely
bound books have found their way
into waste baskets and to the tables
OF second hand book dealers.
The flooding Of the halls Of con-
gress and the offices of Washington
newspapers with nicely printed and
handsomely bound volumes of "The
Raid on Prosperity" from the pen
of Chanceiior Day can scarcely be at
tributed to the chancellor. He doubt
lessly sanctioned the move, but the
expense of such an undertaking
would be too great for an humble
man like him. Then too the gain
to him personally would be too
insignificant to warrant such an un-
dertaking. While the donor OF these
volumes has carefully concealed his
identity, 1t is not difficult matter
to see who is responsible. The work
Is defence offJohn d. Rockefeller
and The Standard Oil company and
an attack upon the man who institut-
ed the investigation which terminat-
ed In the ASSIGNMENT OF a $29, ,24O, 900
fne against that corporation. Then
too the msth@ ( is 80 we'll known
that it IS not difficult matter to
point to the dispenser of this choice
piece OF iiyvraeqee,y
Ever since President Roosevelt
launched upon his career as "Trust
Buster" Chancellor Day has found
opportunity and taken occasion to
do all in his power to checkmate
him., He has called him all man
ner of traitors. concluding with
charge of anarchism. His attacks
have been passed with the newspaper
notoriety, which he has secured and
his statements have carried practic-
ally no weight. The people have
known too much of the operations
OF the Oil Trust, and have been too
much in sympathy with President
Roosevelt to heed the chancellor's
criticism. They may not agree with
the methods which have been pur-
sued, but they are happy in the
thought that some move has been
made to curb the operations OF the
octopus. Little censure. excepting

WEIRD PIPE DREAM

ain Stories.


Acting Commissioner John McCabe, in
absence of Commissioner Slater, of the
pure food department, declared recently
that the stories generally circulating
through the Northwest derogatory to
several standard brands of smoking to-
bacco were entirely without foundation,
in 80 far, at least, as the commission was
concerned. The stories which, under
the circumstances, appear to be hbelous,
cite an imaginary analysis in which one
~well-known brand was found to have no
tobacco at all, the greater part being
common brown paper, and that an equal
ly popular brand was only 10 per cent.
tobacco.
at would be interesting to know
where such a report originated, ;" said
Acting Commissioner McCabe, las we
certainly have made no analysis of the
kind. Whether the big four brands in
question are made out of tobacco or not,
the story of u having rendered such a
verdict is made out of whole cloth. If,
however, American manufacturers can
successfully transmute brown paper into
tobacco, why bother about the Havana
article any longer ? No, somebody has
been dreaming"

RHEUMATISM CANNOT BE
CURED UNLESS URIC-O
is USED.
Sudden Deaths, Heart Failure and
Paralysis Are Caused by Poi
sonous Uric and rheumatic

Acids.
The Rheumatic person is skeptical regard
ing the claims of almost any remedy adver.
tised as a cure for Rheumatism and one can
scarcely blame him for being so. All the
plasters and liniments combined never actu-
ally cured a case Of Rheumatism. They may
relieve it one in quarter, but it is sure to break
out somewhere else. The only true way to
cure Rheumatism, is to drive it from the system,
for as long as the Uric and Rheumatic Acid
remains in the blood, one is never entirely
free from the trouble. This is where the
value o fUric-O as a permanent cure for Rheu-
matism comes in. 1t seeks out the Rheuma.
tic poison in the blood, muscles and kidneys,
renders it inert and harmless and drives it
out OF the system. That is why Uric-O is such
an admirable and effective cure for Rheuma-
tism.
The chief reason that Uric-O is such a won
derful cure for Rheumatism is, that it is de-
signed and prepared to cure Rheumatism
and Rheumatism only. 1t does not contain
any alcohol OF other so called tonics to make
lone "feel good for the time being, but is
composed Of antidotes for the rheumatic acid
poison in the system. That is the secret Of
its wonderful success. Rheumatism simply
cannot exist in a persons system if Uric-O is
used.
Uric-O is sold by M. r. Burt, The home
Of Uric-O" in Middlebury, at 75c and sI.oo
the bottle, but if you still feel skeptical about
its efficacy you can test it free of charge by
cutting out this advertisement and sending
same together with your name and address
to the Smith Drug Co.. Syracuse, N. Y. and
they will send you a sample bottle free. To
persons who write and say they have never
used Urico-O, want to test it thoroughly, and
will agree to take it systematically according
to directions, they frequently send a regular
age bottle free.

dlebury by NJ. X. Burt"
