WILL REDUCE THE
COMMISSIONS
POWER
PRESIDENT TAFT BELIEVES THE
INTERSTATE COMMERCE COM
MISSION HAS TOO MUCH Au-
TPOalTY AT PRESENT.

Washington, D. c., March 9.-Pres-
ident Taft has set on foot definite
plans to reduce the powers of the in
terstate commerce commission. He
mas discussed the matter with his cab
met advisers on the line of his inau-
sural addeess.
He would have the commission
TRANSFORMED into a quasi judicial body
to pass upon the merits of cases
brought before it. The investigation
of alleged ofrenses and violations of
federal laws would be performed bv
another body. The commissions work
would be greatly simplified and the
present burden of securing evidence
and preparing cases transferred to
other executive departments.
This work will be done by the bu-
reau of corporations. The commission
viii simply pass upon the merits of
cases brought to its attention by this
bureau. If it finds guilt, the depart
ment of justice will prosecute The
object sought is to simplify the work
OF he departments and prevent confu-
sion and the duplication of work.
To Work Out Details.
During the spring and summer, At
torney General Wickersham and Sec
rotary of Commerce and Labor Nagel
win work out the details of the
scheme which win yitally affect their
departments having in view these
plans of the chief executive. 1t is
proposed to clothe the bureau of cor
porapions and the department of com
merce and labor with the duty of act
ing as Investigator Of all complaints
Of Otlenses against the federal law
on the part of any interstate corpora
iou All complaints from private
individuals will have to be made to
this bureau
Ii is also proposed to create an en-
.tircF new bureau in the department
sbf justice Which shall render such
legal aid to The bureau of corpora
uons as may be needed and request
ed Ihis new bureau shall have the
work of seeing that failure to obey
The orders Of the interstate commerce
commission shan be prosecuted in the
federal courts.
1t is intended to have the depart
ment of agriculture cooperate closely
with the bureau Of corporations in the
enforcement Of the pure food laws, the
meat inspection law and similar laws
with whose enforcement the depart
ment of agriculture is primarily con
cerned The department will repor.
all offenses against these laws to the
burcau of corporations, which will see
that proper prosecuting steps are talk
en- in the courts.
When a comprehensive plan is
worked oul, congress will be urged he
pass legislation to make it effective

NOT MANY TURKEYS
FOR THANKSGIVING
Supply VIII Not Meet Demand and
Local DeaIcrs Are Helpless
Some from Missouri.

The proverbial Thanksgiving day
turkey viii be conspicuous by it's alb
sence in many homes throughout this
city this year, not because of any lack
OF demand for Mr.. Turkey, but rather
because the supply will not be ade-
quate to fulfill the demand.
A turkey famine stares the dealers
in the face and none of them expect
to be able to secure more than half
OF the birds which they ought to have
to take care of their customers. Deal
ers are not soliciting orders for tur-
keys because of the scarcity.
1t seems that the big bird which has
become inseparably linked with
Thanksgiving day is going out of ex-
istence, as each year there are fewer
of them and the prices on them are
higher This year the bird will cost
from two and d half to five cents per
pound more than it did last year. and
at the same time there are only about
half as many turkeys as were availa-
BILE last year. Local poultrymen are
quite unable to supply the local de-
mand and most of the gobblers who
will be the center of attraction on
many Thanksgiving table will be the
product of poultrymen from Missouri.
Arran gements have been made for
bringing several carloads of Missouri
turkeys here and they will be nearly
all that are available for local con-
sumers. They will cost in the neigh
borhood Of 25 cents per pound.
On account of the high price of tur-
keys many consumers will eat chick
ems and ducks instead, and there
seems to be a goodly supply of these.
Chickens are especially good this year
and many people consider them more
toothsome than the turkey.

DR.. BARTZ
MAKES
THE WEAK STRONG

To men who lack courage, whose
nerves are unstrung, whose ideas are
confused sleep, restless, confidence
gone. spirits low and easily depressed;
who are backward, hesitating; who
won't venture because they are afraid
of failure; who want somebody to de-
eide for them; who are weak, puny,
restless. Dr. Bartz offers help, and the
help he gives you you cannot get from
drugs or medicines
The wonderful power Of his Electrt-
cal Treatment in overcoming all these
signs of nervous and physical break
down has been proved to tAe world.
Today there's scarcely a city, town or
village within the radius of so miles of
Rock Island where he can't show cures
that he has made He wants to treat

Vigori
Never mind the past. Worrying
about the mistakes that you have made
will do no good. If you don't like TO
think about the past, he can help you
forget it and help you to steer clear Of
the pitfalls in the future.
If you are sick and weak and your
doctor isn't helping you much, you
ought to try DR.. Bartz's method OF ap-
plying Electricity. It's q grand remedy
when applied right! All such troubles
as indigestion, constipation. torpid liv-
er. tired feeling. weak kidneys, rheum-
atism, neuralgia, lame back, lumbago,
sciatica, sleeplessness, nervousness,
and headaches are completely cured
with Electricity applied according to
his scientific method. It overcomes all
signs of weakness-of breakdown in
men and women.
