centers. Some orders for early spring are
being placed, but the volume of business
done as get is rather light. Many indus
trial lines are less active on new business,
and working forces in such lines as iron,
steel, car manufacturing, electrical goods,
shoe manufacturing and o,pper mining
are being reduced. Lumber is less active
and new building is lighter, due in part
to the approach of the closed season, but
more particularly to the stringency in
money.

Food Supply of London Zoo.

Catering for the inmates of the Lon.
don ZOO" is formidable work, and
the food bill for the last year gives
remarkable insight into the variety of
the dietietic requirements of the so
ciety's menagerie. Altogether, the total
cost Of the menu was $4,000, and the
items include 1924 pounds of beef,
$500 pounds of biscuits, 2S,693 eggs,
TAB gallons of milk, $4,000 tins of pre-
served milk, 4,O15 founders, 12,1S9
plaice, 1000 herrimgs. 90,254 whiting,
1856 pints of shrimps and 34,2S2 parts
of fowl. In addition, there were 524
pounds of sugar, 76 jars of meat ex-
tract, 612 lemons $500 pounds of mon
key nuts, $40 bushels of green's, 1890
pounds Of potatoes, 1859 dozens Of
bananas, 6,456 oranges, 2,414 pounds Of
grapes and 5,946 quarter loayes Of
bread. 1t Is interesting to note that
the rice and preserved milk, of which
much larger quantities were used in
the last year than In 1905, were re-
quired mainly for the young elephant,
the young Indian and African rhinoce-
roses and the young hippopotamus.

"Gen.o Coxey,s New Crusade.

Sen" j. S. Coxey, who some years
ago led a sensational march on Wash
ington, is now out with a new scheme,
the main feature of which is the absorp-
ton and operation by the State of rail-
roads and other utilities necessary to
the peoples welfare. HIS idea is to have
these holdings taken over by the States,
payment being made by the issue of long
term bonds. these latter being deposited
with the federal government in return for
an issue of currency to the face value Of
the securities less 1 per cent for the
expense of iotation. He thinks that this
loan could be repaid and the entire ex-
penses of the State met by the revenues
accruing from the operation of the public
utilities, thus making a direct tax levy
on private property unnecessary. He
would in a similar manner extend his
idea to counties and municipalities. He
declares the idea of controlling the big
corporations while their ownership rests
with private interests absurd, and says
that public ownership viii! be the verita-
BILE salvation of the country. Coxey is
said to have amassed considerable prop
erty since his famous march"

MAY BECOME AMBASSADOR.
Court of st. James Said to BE ia
RooscyeYt's Liking

Rooscvelt's Liking.
The latest Of many suggestions for
the benefit of Theodore Roosevelt, as
an ex-President, comes from London,
where it is said to have been discussed
in the fashionable clubs 1t attributes
to Mr.. Roosevelt a desire TO round out
an extended tour Of the world by a
considerable residence in the British
capital as ambassador to the court IF
st. James.
Very likely the President has men.
toned this as something that would be
to his liking, although it is doubted in
Washington whether he has ever seri-
ously considered it. He does contem-
plate quite a trip abroad, after March
4, 1909. At times he has dwelt with no
little anticipation upon the things he
would find pleasure in doing after Off
cial cares have been lifted from his
shoulders. He and Mrs. Roosevelt have
planned more than one trip they want
to take when he has become a private
citizen again.
Possibly foremost in these plans is
the visit to the capitals of the old
world. They were married in London,
and both have travelled extensively in
Europe. They are very DESTROYS Of 60
ing again, of revisiting old scenes ano
old friends and of making new friends
They will hardly make such a tri
umphal tour as eX-President Grant
made, but Mr.. Roosevelt would like to
meet a few of the European rulers With
whom he has been in communication
more or less since he entered the White
House. He would enjoy that probably
quite as much as some of the big hunt
ing trips for large game that he has in
MUD.
However the President up to a few
months ago was known to cherish
strong hope of an election to the United
States Senate from New York. He
likes residence in Washington a por-
ton Of the year AS Senator he
would continue to have official promi.
hence, and could divide his time be.
tween Washington and New York or
any city that might interest him. He
will undoubtedly do a great amount Of
literary work in the few years follow
ing his retirement from the Presidency,
and Washington is very congenial
city for such efforts.

HOMEMADE MIXTURE

PREPARED By ANYONE.
IL Said to Promptly Relieve Back
ache and Overcome Kidney TrOu-
BILE and Bladder Weakness Though
Harmless and Pleasant to Take.

/. What viii appear very interesting
to many PEOPLE here is the article
taken from a New York daily paper,
giving q simple prescription, as eormu-
lated by noted authority, who claims
that he has found Il positive remedy
to cure almost any case of bachache
or kidney or bladder arrangement, in
the following simple prescription, If
taken before the stage of Brights dis
ease:
Fluid Extract Dandelion, one half
ounce; Compound Kargon, one ounce
Compound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Shake we'll in bottle and
take in teaspoonful doses after each
meal and again at bedtime.
D A well-known authority, when asked
regarding this prescription, stated that
the ingredients are all harmless, and
can be obtained at a small cost from
any good prescription pharmacy, or the
mixture would be pot up if asked to
do SO. lie further stated that while
this prescription is often prescribed IN
rheumatic Affections with splendid re-
suits, he could see 10 reason why II
would not be splendid remedy fol
kidney and urinary troubles and back
ache, as it has a peculiar action upor
the kidney structure, cleansing these
most important organs and helplns
them to sift and filter from the blood
the foul acids and waste matter which
cause sickness and suffering. Those
who suffer can make no mistake il
giving 1t trial.

TRANSFORMATIONS
Curious Results When Coffee Drink

ing Is Abandoned.
1t Is almost as bard for an old coffee
topper to quit the use Of coffee as it is
for whisky or tobacco fiend to break
of, except that the coffee user can quit
coffee and take up Postum without any
feeling Of loss of the morning bever-
age, for when Postum is well boiled
and served with cream, ii is really bet
ter in point of flavor than most of the
coffee served nowadays, and to the
taste Of the connoisseur 1t is like the
flavor Of fine, mild Java.
| A great transformation takes place
in the body within ten days or two
weeks after coffee Is left off and Pos
tum used, for the reason that the pol
son to the nerves caffeine-has been
discontinued and in its place is taken
a liquid food that contains the most
powerful elements of nourishment.

CHICAGO.

The highly sustained volume cf com.
MERGE centering here is attested by aggre-
gate payments through the banks during
The past month and this week, which ex-
hibit striking gains over year ago. Less
pressure for money and few business fail
ures make easier conditions for capital in
vestment, and with continued profitable
returns for farm and range products the
indications appear brighter for a lower
discount rate to mercantile borrowers
Trade responds to the better effect of
favorable developments. Preparations
reflect renewed confidence among the lead
ing producers and little capacity remains
to be booked up for this quarter. New
demands equal expectations in iron, steel
and railway equipment, and the orders
for future deliveries are satisfactory in
forge work, machinery, heavy hardware,
wire products, furniture and footwear.
Country merchants come from nearby
points in increasing numbers, and their
selections of fall and winter fares stimu-
late expanding activity in wholesale
branches. Shipping rooms work overtime
and the forwardings to the interior COM
pare favorably in quantities with this
time last year.
Mercantile collections throughout the
West occasion little trouble, and, not
withstanding tight money, the defaults
carry no special significance.

TALKS In THE SOUTH.
eooMs DEEP WATEN
WAY AT MEMPHIS.
Given Great Ovation An Historic
Southern City Acknowledges
Greeting Amid Din of Exploding


The most remarkable public demon
stration in the history of the historic
Southern city of Memphis took place
Friday when the Lakes to- the-Gulf wa
terways fotilla, bearing President
Roosevelt, rounded Hopefield bend in
the Mississippi just above the city and
moved slowly down the stream toward
its docks. The bank on that side OF
the stream at which the boats were to
moor was literally afame with the ma
liant bulwark were 10000 men, women
and children foregathered from ali the
country within a radius OF forty miles
AS the boats came into sight wave
of cheers swept in rising crescende
over the crowd and an instant later,
the sirens Of thousand steamboats,
stretching over two miles along the
shore burst into jubilation. When the
boats came near enough so that OBJ
jects could be distinguished President
Roosevelt was seen standing on the
top deck of the vessel in the lead.
Then the din broke loose afresh. A
score of bombs were set off and the
crowd shouted itself hoarse.
The President, still standing on the
upper deck of the government boat ac
knowledged the greetings while the
vessel was still in mid-stream, and the
cheering continued until he had been
escorted from the steamer into his car
riage and the parade through the
streets began. Between packed mass
es Of yelling cheering humanity. the
parade wended it's way until Court
Square had been reached, where the
Presidential carriage was stopped and
the Chief Executive listened to water
| ways anthem, Fourteen Feet Through
children attired in uniform costume
and each waving small American
! flag. The effect Of the picture was
! most striking and the President was
visibly impressed.
The address of the President at the
| convention, in which he strongly advo-
/ Gated the deep waterways plan. was
| enthusiastically received. A distin-
guished array of congressman Of both
| houses, the Governors Of twenty-three
States of the inland waterways com
mission and delegates to the number OF
/ 1000, besides many spectators in the
! general gallery of the hall. heard the
President speak and joined in the APP
/ plause.
| In his speech the President proudly
| announced it was Roosevelt who ran
| the first steamboat on the big river
He reiterated that the undesirable citi-
| zen is still undesirable. He told the
people he had no excuse TO offer for
his former declaration. President
Roosevelt was strong for deep water
| and also took an excursion into q new
field. He wants the people to be better
farmers and not let the hilfsides wash
into the streams. lie advocated intelli,
gent farming and saving OF the forests
and the utilization Of water power in
manufacturing.

the following:
The chef economic question of the day

Great capitalists have shown
extreme unwisdon in their violent oppo-
sition to the assumption Of complete con-
troll over the railroads by the federal gov

The Phantom Fire Ship.

The traditional fire ship of the Chaleur bay, New Brunswick, appear ing usually before storm. has basis of fact, according to a scientist. It is hemispherical light, with the fiat side toward the water, glowing sometimes without much change of form, but at other times rising into slender, mov- ing columns, in which an excited i'm agitation might recognize the flaming rigging of ship. The general ex- planation offered is that this object is a manifestation of St. Elmo's fire, an electrical phenomenon, but the reason for its appearing only on or near the Chaleur bay is not known.
