ARE The TRUSTS
Fighting 7. r..
FRIENDS OF Ex-PREsIoENT OF
BELIEF THAT RuMoR OF
DEATH WAS START OF
A FIGHT.

New York, Nov. 16.-Friends Of
Theo. Roosevelt are preparing to fight
what they declare to be plot to
discredit his administration. They
openly assert that the monopolistic in
terests Of the country are alarmed by
the sentiment for Roosevelt which
started with the first speech by Taft
in the west, indorsing the new tariff
and defending Aldrich, and followed
Taft throughout his 16,OoO-mile trip.
The interests" plan to check it,
Roosevelt'c friends say, by trying to
prove that Roosevelt protected the
sugar trust, the tobacco trust and the
powder monopoly through Attorney
General Bonaparte. Finance and poll
tics are being well mixed, according
to Roosevelt's friends. Every big mo-
nopoly Roosevelt assailed, the asserty,
is concerned in an attempt to check
the Roosevelt movement at once.
Money is no object, and friendships
and business alliances Of years are to
be sacrificed to discredit, IL possible,
the former president.
Starts With Runor7
The Rooseveltians see the beginning
Of the plot in the circulation by a
monopoly Of the report that Roosevelt
was dead in Africa. They say this
was but a feeler to ascertain beyond
doubt just how strong Roosevelt still
is. The response was spontaneous and
unmistakable. Roosevelt seemed as
much the popular idol as when he was
in washington flooding congress with
messages denouncing "wickedness in
high places"
Then, Roosevelt men say, came the
first broadside. The one New York
newspaper supposed to be closest to
the money powers, and which has con-
tinuously opposed the African hunter,
printer a page and a nalf story, claim
ing that the prosecution of the sugar
trust was prevented by, Roosevelt. His
friendship for Cong. Herbert Parsons,
son of John r. Parsons, chief counsel
for the sugar trust, was freely COM
mented on. The charge was openly
made that information which would
have convicted the trust had been pre-
scented to the president through Bona
parte, and that, although at the time
there was a fight in progress against
the Standard OH Co., the railway mo-
nopoly and other trusts, the crime of
the sugar trust was pigeon -holed.
Sacrifice Sugar Trust.
According to the men preparing to
take Roosevelt's part until he gets
back to fight his own battles, the
plan of the interests" is deeply laid.
There is no love in the street for
the sugar trust. 1t mas always been
too much of close corporation, so
it is to be sacrificed.
Everything known about it is to be
eral Wickersham, 50 that the Taft adj
put at the disposal of Attorney Gen
eral Wickersham, so that the Taft
administration shall nave credit for
dissolving 1t. If that is not sufficient
the tobacco trust and the powder trust
are to go. They, too, are close corpor-
atoms, sort of family affairs, and their
dissolution would hit none of the big
financial powers excepting Thos. F..
Ryan. He has already announced that
he is retiring from business.

How to Tell Whether Skin Affection
Is an Inherited Blood Disease or Not.


Is an Inherited Blood Disease or Not.
Sometimes =: is hard to determine
whether a skin affection is sign of
blood disorder or simply a form Of
eczema. Even physicians are often puz-
zled in their diagnosis. The best way
for any one afflicted is to go to Fout &
Porterfield's or any good druggist who
handles pure drugs and obtain so cents
worth of poslam. Apply this, and If
the itching stops at once, and the
trouble is cured in a few days 1t may
be set down as having been eczema, as
this is the way poslam acts in the worst
cases Of eczema, and in curing acne,
herpes, blotches, letter, piles, salt
rheum, rash, BARRIERS and other forms
Of itch, scaly scalp, and all surface
skin affections.
Any one who will write to the Emer-
gency Laboratories, No. 80 West

Lobster Mortality High.

A lobster lays thousands OF eggs,
most Of which hatch but few ever live
TO grow up. This is not the fault of
the mother, for she carries them about
with her for nearly a year, and with
admirable instinct guards them as
she does her own life. When the
young are set free, her duty is done,
for they must then shift for them
selves. Though hardly larger than
mosquitoes, being about one-third Of
an inch long, the little ones leave then
parents on the bottom and swim to-
ward the light-to the surface. where
from one to two months, if fortune
favors them, they lead a free, rowing
life. The open sea is a poor nursery
for such weaklings, which become the
sport of every storm and the prey of
numberless hungry mouths Out Of a
brood of 10000 it would be a rare
chance for more than one or two lob
sters to reach maturity, or finally to
end their career in the kitchen or
the chafing dish.-St Nicholas

GOING INTO SILENCE.
The People Who Reach old Age, Are
Apt TO pe Placed.

The secret of the benefit derived
from going into the Silence lies in
the self-control and the rest to mind
fixing and focusing the mind upon
the real objects OF life. The energies
can then be centred upon the desired
results to be obtained. In this way
the practice of going into the Sill
ence may be made of great benefit.
Professor Elmer Gates, the father of
more than twenty-five hundred inven-
tions, and a scientist of note, con-
nected with the Smithsonian Institu-
ton, makes a practice of going into
the Silence" when working out an in
vention. have been told also that
Edison works somewhat in the same
way.
More or less quiet is necessary to
the inception of new ideas. You have
got to still the mind and body and
let go of the old thoughts that have
been holding possession of your mind
and absorbing your vital energies be-
fore you can conceive and execute
new and more difficult work Here
is where going into the Silence helps
you. just as sleep helps you Life
itself is cherished and prolonged by
proper rest and relaxation. The peo-
pie who reach extreme old age are
apt to be placid and harmonious in
temperament.
DR.. s. A. Stephens, who for many
years has been attempting to solve
the problem of living forever, from
scientific standpoint, says the first
thing to do if you would prolong your
life is to rest your cell neurons until
you fee! that you have full head
of vim in the organism, even IL a
week or month is required for 1t.
Rest and recuperate until you are In
the best condition possible. This is
the necessary first step, head OF
vim to work with"
Might as we'll expect an engine to
run without steam as to expect the
body and mind to keep on working
indefinitely without a frequent turn
ing about and letting go, such as we
get by going into the Silence.
