CITY ITEMS.
LaSsitude.

Many of those who at this season of the
year experience a feeling Of lassitude at
tribute it to the fact that it Is Spring,
whereas the season itself is by no means
the cause Of the sensation. This, more
often than not, say physicians, is due to
the fact that the human system reaches
a. point in the Spring season when a thor
ough Cleaning up is needed. The ma
chinery of the body needs going over once
in a while, just as does that of a factory.
Neglected, the bodily functions become
deranged, and one of the most common
manifestations of this is constipation. This.
especially in its chronic form, means that
certain muscles of the body are not in
condition to do their work properly, having
become weak and inelastic. To overcome
this condition is to cure constipation-not
simply give relief to the sufferer-and for
this purpose medical men of experience are
using with great success a combination of

BEFORE ECONOMIC LEAGUE.
w. S. Boyd Delivers an Address on
Socialism.

w. s.: Boyd delivered an address last
evening before the Economic Educational
League at it's headquarters, 112 c street.
on Socialism, He claimed there are two
great classes in the world-the capital
lists, who own the means of produc-
ing wealth, and the working class, which
must use those means to live, and are
compelled to give up portion of their
product for the privilege of using it.
Mr.. Boyd contended that the real inter-
ests of the two classes are Numerically
opposite, the owners want as much
as they can get, and the workers want to
give as little as possible. The result is
a constant struggle. The socialist, Mr..
Boyd asserted. wants to substitute order
and system for such state of affairs, and
thus insure industrial peace and pros
perity. He added that in doing the work
of the world the people must labor indi-
vidually collectively; they must act
comparatively or comparatively. The sue
cessful business men are rapidly ADAM
doning competition and acting co-opers
atively IN the form of trusts, it was
stated. Mr.. Boyd said he is in favor of
carrying the trust to it's logical conclusion
and making it big enough to include all.
