The Harvester Trust Next.

Chicago, ILL.,, Aug. PIT is expected
that the proceedings against the inter
national Harvester company charged
with being monopoly in restraint of
trade, will be instituted by the govern
ment some time next week. The suit
probably will be led in this city, as the
headquarters of the trust are here.
The Harvester trust makes the bulk
of the agricultural machinery of the
country, practically all the harvesters.
1t has many factories in different parts
OF the country, having organized them
under one company. The trust, howev-
er, fixes the price on the output of
every factory, and, it is charged, pur-
sues the same tactics that are charged
against the Standard Oil-undersold in
dependent manufacturers and forced
them out of business. 1t is also
charged that in addition to absolutely
choking off competition the trust sells
it's products in foreign countries, after
paying steamship charges, at lower
prices than in the United States.
The legal machinery of the depart
ment of justice has been at work for
months collecting information against
the trust and the information has been
put in such shape and secured in such
quantity as to warrant proceedings at
an early date. The government in its
suit will attempt to prove that the In
ternational Harvester company controls
at least seventy per cent of the output
of reapers, mowers and other agricul-
tural implements in the United States
and that it is violating the Sherman
antitrust law.

A SILVER DOLLAR.
Every Mark On it Made for a pur
pose.

Did you ever study silver dollar?
Every mark on it is made for purpose,
and 1T is interesting to know about
some OF them. You will notice that
around the edge of the dollar is raised
ring. This is to keep the face of the
coin from wearing away when two coins
are rubbed together. The little seal
lops on the inside of the raised ring are
called the milling" All around the
edge Of the dollar are little parallel
marks, close together. These are called
the ''reeding," and are made to keep
dishonest people from shaving silver off
the dollar. The dollars now being
minted bear the head of liberty on one
side. This head is not designed from
the imagination of an engraver. A
young Philadelphia lady named Anna
Williamson possessed such classic
features that the government engraver
secured her permission to copy her
head. The American girl ought to take
some pride in the fact that one of her
country women was honored in this
manner. On the reverse side of the
dollar our national bird, the eagle, is
shown. In one talon is bunch of ar
rows and in the other an olive branch.
InaC SlSnlneS CnaU our country is great
either in war or peace, Partly
surrounding the eagle is laurel wreath.
The laurel wreath has been the symbol
of victory and progression since the
days of ancient Greece. 1t adorned
alike the brows of poets, sculptors,
athletes and warriors. Just below the
wreath you will sometimes find very
small letter. If this letter is an "O' the
dollar was minted in New Orleans. The
letter "S' indicates that it came from
San Francisco. If there is no small
letter shown you may know that the
dollar was made at the mint in Philadel-
phia. If a silver dollar was melted it
would not be worth dollar, because it
does not contain enough silver. 1t is
the stamp of the government which
causes it to pass at it's present value.

Nervous Women
Suffer No More
Silently and Alone You Bear with
Patience, Burdens That Would
Crush Strong Men.

In this country to-day there are thou
sands of women whose days are filled
with constant suffering. There is the
dull headache, the dragging backache,
the hot tlushes, that awful tired feeling,
to SICK and faint to work, too we'll to 90
to bed. Men have little knowledge of
the suffering their women go through
day after day. Many times such illness
is attributed to biliousness or the after
effect of cold when it is really a de-
rangement of the nervous system
caused by weakness or disease of the
genital organs. 1t seems shame that
women should suffer SO when there is a
safe, harmless remedy that will restore
to them the splendid health that makes
perfect womanhood.
Zoa-Phora dispels nervous disorders
of women because it regulates the
menses, and relieves them of
pain. 1t is wonderfully effective
in the cure of prolapsus because it
strengthens the muscles supporting the
parts, and renews the nerve force. 1t
removes and prevents inf1amma ton
congestion and unnatural discharge
from the genital organs-these that
sap the very life, destroy the tissues
and finally shatter the nervous system
1t is marvellous in it's tonic effects
and women who have been tired, list
less, with headaches and backaches
marring their every pleasure have in a
single week been changed from suffer
ing, morose, irritable beings to bright
happy, cheerful women who find pleas
ure in their household duties because
they have new and natural strength
to perform them without fatigue, simply
by use of the wonderful Zoa-Phora.
Zoa-Phora has helped hundreds and
thousands of women to health, strength
and the joy of living. The only way in
which you may receive the same bene-
tit, is to do as they did. Go to your
druggist and procure a dollar bottle
loa-Phora. Begin using at once accord
ing to plain directions found in the
package. If any further information or
private advice is desired, the Zoa-
Phora Company, Kalamazoo, Mich, will
gladly answer all questions if you write
them. Just ask the druggist for Zoa-
Phora-no other explanation need be
given-and you will receive the medi-
cine already prepared, compounded in
just the right proportions, and put up
in sealed, sterilized, one dollar bottles.
Will you act now while the opportunity
is before you?

Missouri Roads Make Money on 2
Cent Fares.

Jefferson City, Aug. 21-The railroads
Of Missouri are to return to the practice
of allowing $50 pounds of baggage with
each ticket. Since the two-cents-a-mile
passenger rate went into effect the
railroads have been charging excess on
all baggage weighing more than 100
pounds.
The charging of excess on all bag
gage weighing more than 100 pounds
was ordered by the roads on account of
the new law. Soon after the rule went
into effect Herbert S. Hadley, attorney
general, took up the matter with the
passenger bureaus of the state to see if
the old standard weight could not be
restored. The railroads contend that
with the reduction of passenger fares
they could not afford to handle $50
pounds of baggage free with each ticket.
Apparently the roads have changed
their minds, however, for letter was
received at the attorney generals office
today from ]. E. Hannigan, chairman of
the Southwestern Passenger bureau,
with headquarters at St. Louis, saying
that the 150-pound limit will be restor-
ed. The change, the latter said, prob
ably would go into effect August Is.

A Prayer For The Year.

Give me of good friends AS many as
can greet and entertain. Give me
the unselfish heart that prompts the
friendly hand, the kind word and the
smile of cheerfulness for others who,
with me, are yet on the way. Give me
a whole-hearted trust and confidence in
my fellow travellers, and deep respect
for their hopes and their endeavors.
Give me kindly spirit Of forgiveness
and leniency for those who err-know-
ing it is more against themselves than
against me that they do the injury.
Give me eyes and ears to see and hear
only the good. Give me Of wealth ac-
cording to the measure Of my needs; OF
health-a brimming portion. And give
me above all, the divine gift Of Optim-
ism! Earnest b. Gardner.
