Shortage of Cars Begins.

Denver.-Because of a shortage oi
cattle cars live stock is being shipped
into Denver from eastern Colorado in
box-cars. During the past few days
several carloads have arrived at the
stock yards In this way.
The railroads are already complain
ing that they are having difficulty in
supplying all the cars demanded
When the heavy shipments of coal
commence, which will occur in ten
days or two weeks, the railways will
be unable to supply all the cars re-
quired, and may have difficulty in NOV
ing the shipments they receive.
Business in this state was never be
fore so heavy at this time of year. The
fruit crop, although not as large as
last year, requires more than thous-

commence moving just when the de
mand for coal will begin to be heard
and the general shipments of the au-

give the railroads more business than
they can handle.

act which not only qualities women to
sit on county and borough councils but
also opens to them the positions of

has aroused mixed feelings. Some
women who take an interest in local
government hail with enthusiasm the
prospect of one of their sex presiding
at guildhall banquets and entertaining
kings. On the other hand the major
iry of mayors and aldermen are any
thing but delighted at the possibility
of their duties being reduced to that
of handing around tea and cake at
civic entertainments. Women are
undoubtedly as well qualified as men
to deal with such questions as educa-
ton, housing and sanitation" said a
woman guardian yesterday. why
should they not act as lady mayors?'

Fifteen YEARS OF ECZEMA.

itchy, and l could not keep from
scratching them. l had to keep both
hands bandaged all the time, and at
night would have to scratch through
the bandages as the itching was SO
severe, and at times l would have to
tear everything OFF my hands to scratch
the skin. l could not rest or sleep. l

they could not give me permanent
cure nor even could they stop the itch

TEA FROM THE FLOWERS.
This Product Little Known In the
United States.

Tea, not from leaves, but from the
flowers alone OF the plant. is rarely en-
countered in commerce. The petals.
stamens, ETC.. are sun dried, and the
resulting tea is Of a rich. deep brown
hue of peculiarly delicate odor, and
gives n pale amber colored infusion
rather more astringent in taste than
that from the average fair grade leaf.
The taste for it Is an acquired one,
and even II this tea could be made
commercially possible. 1t is doubtful if
1t would ever become popular.
The American tea trade could ad-
vantageously take suggestion from
the brick tea of the far east. In our
country, the tea dust, some Of which
is good quality. is not properly
utilized. In Europe 1t Is regular
article of trade. and it is advertised
and sold as tea dust. In America it is
sold to thousands of cheap restau-
rants, who make from 1t the mixture
of tanic acid, sugar and boiled milk
which they sell as tea" If, as in the
orient, this dust was compressed into
bricks, good tea could be made from

FINE GIFT TO PRINTERS HOME
Woman Donates 100000 for Comfort
of Aaed Members Of Craft.

Colorado Springs, Colo.-A Colorado
Springs woman has offered $l0O,0o0
for the establishment OF an endow-
mept fund for the erection and mainte-
nance of cottages in which to house
the families of inmates of the Union
Printers home in this city. The board
of trustees of the home, at the final
session at their meeting here, passed
the necessary amendment to the char
ter of the home to permit the estab-
lishment of the fund.
Another important action taken by
the trustees was the erection OF a tu-
berculosis sanitarium. The present
hospital annex will be used for this
purpose and the most advanced meth
DDS known to science for the treat
ment of consumption will be adopted.
The offer of the 100000 from the
woman. whose name is withheld, was
made about one year ago, but could
not be accepted. because of the char,
ter as 1t then stood. The last Legisla-
ture passed law permitting incorpor-
ations to change their charters.
1t is expected that citizens from all
over the country will contribute to the
fund and that within few years the
amount will have grown sufficiently TO
accommodate all occupants OF the nos
pital. Heretofore there has been
great deal of hardship among the lam
lilies of the printers because OF en-
forced separation. The new fund VIII
permit the relatives to live near them
In cottages and tents.
There are about sixty patients In
the hospital annex and nearly 100 IN
the regular building.

KNEW VALUE OF AN OATH.
CoIored Witness at Least Was Aware
of Its Pecuniary Worth.

Clarence S. Darrow, the well known
lawyer and essayist, discussing the
Haywood trial, in which he played SO
prominent part, said the other day:
"Some of the evidence in that trial
was so transparently false that 1t re-
minds me of case that came of in
Alabama few years back. One OF
the witnesses in this case was an ex-
tremely ignorant man. AS his testi
mony progressed. his ignorance be-
came SO shockingly evident that the
judge, looking sternly down at him
said:
"Look here, sir. are you acquaint-
ed with the value of an oath?'

"Jedge. l hope l am. That thar
lawyer on yer left hand gimme six dol
lars to sw'ar agin the other side.

SO much endurance) and then the long

Not only was my physical condition
made perfect. and my weight in
creased, but my mind was made clear
and vigorous so that I could get out
my studies In about half the time for
merly required. Now most all of the
uot iol
they have learned its value. but
think my testimony will not be emiss
and may perhaps help some one to
learn how the best results can be OBJ
tanned"
There's a reason for the effect OF
Grape.Nuts food on the human body
and brain. The certain elements in
wheat and barley are selected with
special reference to their power for re-
building the brain and nerve centres.
The product is then carefully and
scientifically prepared SO as to make
It easy of digestion. The physical and
mental results are SO apparent after
two or three weeks use as to produce
a profound impression. Read "The
Road to Wellville." in pkgs. There's

TEN men WHO
RULE PRICES
WHEN PRICES OF BREADSTuFF
GO UP THEY DECREE
1T so.
PACKING PLANTS RULE
CONSUMERS PAY MORE, BUT RAW
MATERIALS SHOW NO
INCREASE.

Chicago. go.-Investigation of the pack,
Ing trust now under way by govern.
ment officials is alleged to have devel.
oped that ten men in Chicago compose
the dynamic force of formidable lis:
OF corporations that control prices
from those of meat on the hoof to
shoe, and from breadstuffs to trans
portation.
These ten men are asserted to hold
the balance upon the worlds supply of
the commonest necessities of life: j.
Ogden Armour. e. F. Swift. Ira N. Nor
ris, Thomas e. Wilson, S A. McRob-
erts, l.. f. Swift, Edward Morris, T. j.
Connors, Arthur Meeker, Lawrence A.
Carton.
The most casual newspaper reader
will readily recognize the list as being
from the inside of the big packing
plants Of Chicago. That fact becomes
significant when it is stated that they
are all directors of the same corpora
tion-the National Packing Company,
organized under the laws of New Jer'
sey, with capitalization of s15,000.'
900. The directorate controls the fol.
lowing:
The price of meat to all consumers.
The price of cattle to all breeders.
The price of leather to all factories,
and thus. incidentally:
The price of shoes.
The grain trade is controlled, and, II
follows:
Control Bread, Too.
The price of bread.
Thus without taking such endless
details as the fertilizer market. where
the trust controls the price that q
farmer pays for his fertilizer, 1t ap
pears that the latest fight of the gov
ernment in the trust field is directed
to the two chief essentials OF life
bread and meat.
That the big ten at Chicago has
raised the price of these things to the
consumer and made no corresponding
increase in price paid for raw material
is the chief assertion of the govern
ment and It is upon this general line
that the most interesting trust fight In
the country is now being planned.
when the directors of tho National
Packing Company decide upon the
price to be paid for cattle, that settles
it for all of the nouses," is the tnforma,
tion that has come into the hands OF
the government.
All of the other corporations of the
country, with few unimportant ex
ceptions, bow to the wishes of the ten
leaders of the food market OF the
world.

Kismet is an Arabic word meaning
fate" or at is fated." A belief in
predestination is one of the funda-
mental principles in the Mohammedan
faith. Not only mans fortune, but
his deeds. and consequently his future
reward or punishment are. according
to this faith. irrevocably. and thus un-
avoidably. pre-ordained-a doctrine
which has contributed largely to the
success of Islam by inspiring its cham
pions with the greatest contempt for
the dangers of warfare. When No

misfortune, no matter how great, he
accepts the situation calmly. merely
