HORSE RACING A DELUSION.
So Says William Smith, Brother to
the Late "Pittsburg Phil"

So Says William Smith, Brother to
the Late "Pittsburg Phil"
When a man has spent 20 years on
the turf and won a fortune during
that time, most persons would consld-
cr him a luck man and think that he
ought to stick to his vocation. But
William Smith, brother to "Pittsburg
PHIL no longer finds the turf an at
traction to him, and says that he is
done with it forever.
brother Bill" as Phil used to call
him, stood en- the lawn at the Sara
toga track the other afternoon, and
told a reporter that horse racing was
only a delusion and a snare.
There is nc money in it," he said,
Il won a fortune during the time my
brother was On the turf, but | spent
1t. It's a case OF easy come and easy
go. Each year the game grows harder
to beat. Every season more men en-.
ter the field; there are more horses
and these increase the chances against
your success"
Ten years ago a man could make
some money on the turf. hat was
due to the fact that there were only
a small number of horses in each race.
and that there was n horse owner
to every ten now. 1t was during this
period that all the wealthy plungers
of today made their money. My
brother Phil was among those who
we're successful. Phil, like most of
the other big turfmen, found the game
hard the last two or three years, and
he did not gather any money together
worth speaking about. | also found
that racing was much harder and lost
back much of the money that l have
previously gained here.
IF the rich men find the game hard
to solve and lose money, what chance
have / got with a limited amount OF
cash. If you have any bad health or
your horses go lame much of your in
vestment is wrecked. No, I'll keep
what I've got, visit the track once in
a while, but my connection with the
turf ended with Phil's death New

When a physician tells woman, SUI
fering from ovarian or womb trouble,
that an operation is necessary it, Of
course, frighten5 her.
The very thought of the operating
table and the knife strikes terror to
her heart. As one woman expressed
it, when told by her physician thai she
must undergo an operation. she felt
that her death knell had sounded.
Our hospitals are full of women
who are there for ovarian or womb
operations!
1t is quite true that these troubles
may reach a stage where an operation
is the only resource, but such cases are
much rarcr than is generally supposed,
because a great many women have
been cured by Lydia E. Pinkham's
Vegetable Compound after the doctors
had said an operation must be per
formed. In fact. up to the point where
the knife must be used to secure instant
relief, this medicine is certain to help

statements possible to make come from

hams Vegetable Compound, have
escaped serious operations.

REBATE EVIL Is "SCOTCHED."
Filming of Beef Packers Has Modify
ing Effect or Agitation for Rate
REGULATION.

ing Effect en- Agitation for Rate
Regulation.
Washington, October 24.-The OF
viction and fning of four members
Of the firm CT Schwarzschild & SulZ-
berger last week, for accepting re-
bates, forms the chief topic Of dis
cussiOn here among the returning
politicians. Praise for the president
and the department of justice is com
ing in from all over the country. 1t
appears to be the general opinion that
the rebate evil is effectively scotched.
A successful precedent has been es-
tahlished in rebate cases, and here
after, it is alleged, the governments
path will be comparatively easy in OF"
tanning similar convictions if future
cases of this kind arise.
The general belief as to the re-
suit Of the filming Of the packers is
optimistic. The current opinion holds
that it will have an immediate and
lasting effect in curbing these large
shippers who demand determinations
in their favor from the railroads. If
the government is on the alert to
enforce the law and the large shippers
will be fined $4,000 whenever they
are discovered accepting rebates, the
rebate will soon become as defunct as
the great aux. And %rapacious shippers
will be further impressed by the fact
that there is every reason to believe
that the government will not be sat
isfed by the payment of a fine for a
second offense.
The belief grows hat the decision
of the United States district court III
Chicago will have a great effect il
modifying the demands CT those who
are agitating for rate regulation. Con-
~servative opinion in Washington re-
CARDS the conviction of the packers as
an effective demonstration of the con
tention that existing legislation is
competent to deal with unjust rate
determinations and as supporting the
view that there is plenty of law on
the statute books, if the government
will only see to its enforcement. Those
who opposed additional railroad legis-
lation before the senate committee on
interstate commerce at it's special
session last spring are pointing to the
fact that they reiterated over and
owe again tlat existing laws, active
ly enforced, are adequate and are say
ing Il told you So"
