Armour & Go. the Chicago meat packers who have applied to have their shares listed on the Stock Ex- change, were obliged to file a state ment of earnings and capital. It ap- pears therefrom that on each s1oo of capital. the packer is earning a profit of $35 a year. Not even the Oil Trust, the Steel Trust, the Tobacco Trust. or the Sugar Trust shows any such great percentage of profit Yet the Beef Trust advances prices on every opportunity and is suspected of making opportunities. Commenting upon these facts. the Philadelphia Press says:
 The grasping packer stands between the man who raises the live stock and the man who buys meat for his family and seizes a big toll from both. Here is a question for those in federal au- thority: If 1t is wrong for a railroad or a combination of railroads to charge an exorbitant freight rate, why Is 1t not wrong for a combination of pack CTS to put tax upon meat that en- ables them to earn 35 per cent on their capital?
 It is undoubtedly as wrong in the one case as in the other. but so long as "the interests" are strongly en- trenched in Congress. the wrong is likely to continue. Indeed. they seem to be in absolute control of that body.

License Litigation.

During the year 190S-9 the town of New Hartford was no-license but on the vote of October it changed to the license column and applica- tions for liquor licenses were filed with the county commissioners. At this F. B. Jones. a taxpayer, applied to the superior court for an injunc- ton restraining the county commits sioners from granting any licenses in the town on the ground that the town meeting was illegal because the call for 1t was not duly published, the statutes requiring 1t to be published at least five days before the meeting and it came out only four days prior instead. Judge Wheeler denied the application for the injunction on the ground that the record of the town meeting was the ultimate authority to which the county commissioners must look and that the court could their judgment until the question of the legality of the town meeting had been brought before the courts in a statutory manner. Before the dects- ion was rendered MT. W. C. Wood ruff had begun a second action rais- ing the question of the legality of the meeting and asking for an inVestiga- tion of this matter. If the vote on the question of license was illegal it follows that the election of town of hcers was also illegal as was every other act of the meeting. There is no session of the General Assembly this winter to pass a healing act and the town of New Hartford will find itself in a disagreeable position should the town meeting be declared illegal.

FISHING TUG AND
SAND BOAT LOST
Storm Works Havoc Along Lake
Erie Coast.

Cleveland, o., April 8.-The fishing
tug George Flood. with seven men
aboard, and the sand sucker Mary II.
with crew of nine men, are missing,
and the Barge Norman Kelley, with a
crew of four persons, was rescued
after a desperate struggle as a result
of fierce windstorm which ragged on
Lake Erie. The wind blew a 60-mile
gale. Lifesavers have been unable to
do effective work, and but one tug,
the Arson M. Bangs, which rescued
the barge Kelley near Sandusky, has
been able to make any Roadway on
the water.
The steel barge Kelley was tossed
about like a cork on the lake. The
crew, three men and a woman, were
picked up after floating 10 miles away
from Kelley's island, the mooring
point of the boat. 1t was while Jo-
seph EMO, Charles Todd, Mrs. Wood
and a deckhand were attempting to
strengthen the mornings of the Kel-
ley that the ropes broke and they
drifted out to sea. There was neither
an engine or an oar on the barge, so
the crew was at the mercy of the
waves.

to the nutritious matter which the or

to the blood.
Just as long as this nutritious mat
ter passes along without being alb
sorbed, just so long will you remain
thin.
