of France. Funds Will be needed to the end
of July 10 feed all these millions, but there are

AFTER THE TOBACCO TRUST
Government Asks Court to Crush
Giant Combination.
Accused of Conspiracies and Illegal
Trade Deais-Oppouonts Must
Surrender or Die.

New York City.-The Government
struck the first blow in its campaign
to smash the Tobacco Trust BY filing
a bill in equity in the United States
Circuit Court in this city. BY this ac-
ton it is sought to dissolve the trust
by having it declared combination
in restraint of trade, under provis-
ions of the Sherman Anti-Tr law.
to obtain an injunction to stop its
business and, in the discretion of the
court, the appointment of receiver.
Specifically the complaint asks the
following nelief:
That each constituent company of
the trust be restrained from engage
ing in interstate or foreign commerce.
That each company be restrained
from holding stock in any of the
other constituent corporations
That each corporation be restrained
from carrying out any of it's con-
tracts, combinations or conspiracies
with the others.
That the particular contracts by
which an agreement between the
English and American tobacco COM
binations was effected in the fall of
1902 be abrogated as Illegal
That the trust in all its branches
be enjoined from continuing to exer-
else monopoly of the leaf tobacco
business of this country.
That the court, in it's discretion,
appoint receivers for each of the con-
stituent concerns to take control of
all their property and, if necessary,
to wind them up.
The bill names the American To-
bacco Company and all its subsidia-
ries, together with its two great for
eign allies, the Imperial Tobacco
Company, of London, and the British
American Tobacco Company, and also
its affiliated American concerns, the
American Snuff Company, or the
Snuff Trust; the McAndrews & Forbes
Company, or the Licorice Trust; the
Conley Foil Company, or the Tin Foil
Trust; the American Cigar Company,
the American Stogie Company and
the United Cigar Stores Company, in
.all sixty-five corporations, as defend
!ants in the action. There are also
Fwenty-nine individual defendants,
headed by James B. Duke and Thos.
#. Ryan, and including all the prlnci-
pal officers and directors of the
American Tobacco Company.
Although this action is purely
civil suit, James G. McReynolds, Spe-
'cial Assistant United States District
Attorney, talked about the possibility
of criminal proceedings against Off
Gals of the trust.
1T is highly probable that Grim
inal action will be taken" he said
The Sherman law makes it GRIM
inal offense to enter into conspiracy
to create a monopoly, and it may be
that we shall get evidence enough to
warrant such proceedings"

COOLING CAKES OR PIES.

/ have learned that pie set upon
perforated standard will cool with
out steaming the crust, and on the
second day will be almost as fresh
as new. How many soggy under
crusts we find in pies. When remov-
ing the pie from the oven, unless you
are positive that the undercrust is
crisp, place on top of stove few mo-
ments. Then set the pie to cool on
the strainer from the potato ricer, or
even on teacup, or colander
turned bottom UP. The idea is to
have the air circulate underneath and
so save the steaming process which
must result If the pie is placed upon
shelf.
If a cake seems difficult to remove
from the pan, set it for minute upon
a cloth wet in cold water. This
causes quick steaming and the cake
loosens almost instantly. If, how
ever, you want to leave the cake in
the pan, place this on cup as per
pie rule.-Ladies' World.

New Gloves.

A new idea in long gloves is to
have the hand of kid and arm of silk
or lace or vice versa. The effect is
rather quaint, especially If the lace
on the arm be fine meshed, but when
the hand is of silk or lace and the
arm OF suede or glace kid the en-
semble is good and tends to make
the hand appear smaller. The de-
mand for black gloves is on the in
crease, Black for gown or hat is
Increasing all the time. Not to say,
Of course, that all madame's or

FOR THE LAUNDRY

For laundering silk stockings, soak
first in water in which little borax
has been dissolved-just enough to
give the slightest smooth" feeling to
The water. Then make a suds of pure
white soap, turn the stockings in
side out, wash, rinse and hang to
dry. For colored stockings, soak in
salt water for an hour to prevent
colors from running"
Fine pieces of lace may be washed,
stretched on some smooth surface I'M
til dry, then placed between the
leaves of some large book, weight
put on it, and this will save ironing.
Clothes that have grown yellow
with lying long, may be whitened by
boiling them in water to which has
been added a tablespoonful of the fol-
lowing emulsion to half boiler of
water: Paraffin, lime water and tur-
pentine, mixed in equal parts, well
shaken before using. Bottle the mix
ture for use.
Delicate colors, embroideries, etc..
should be washed in bran water, or
thin starch. rinsed well, and let get
dry; dampen, roll up and iron with
moderately hot iron. A very hot
iron will injure colors.
To wash ribbons great care must
be exercised, as they seldom look as
well after washing as before. If gas
oline will not clean them, place the
ribbon on board and brush gently
with very soft brush dipped in mild
soap suds. Rinse the ribbon in the
same way, washing the soap out and
iron without drying, Just as they are
taken from the last water.-The
Commoner.
