Eat What
You want of the food you need
Kodol will digest it.

You need a sufficient amount of
good wholesome food and more than
this you need to fully digest it.
Else you can't gain strength, nor
can you strengthen your stomach if
1t is weak.
You must eat in order to live and
maintain strength.
You must not diet, because the
body requires that you eat q suflic-
lent amount of food regularly.
But this food must be digested,
and it must be digested thoroughly.
When the stomach can't do 1t,
you must take something that will
help the stomach.
The proper way to do is to eat
what you want, and let Kodol di-
gest the food.

FRAUD IN REMOVAL
OF new YORK SNOW
"9ill" Edwards Discovers That
Graft Has Been Practised
for Many Years.

New York, Feb. 5.-As q result of an
investigation inaugurated ny William
H. Edwards, recently appointed street
cleaning commissioner Of New York
city, eight employees of that depart
ment and the foreman of private con
tractors, were a~rraigned In court today
on charges of grand larceny by the use
of fraudulent tickets issued to drivers
OF snow wagons, attesting their re-
moval Of wagon loads Of snow from the
streets. All the men arrested were
held in bali for further hearing.
It is estimated the frauds would have
cost the city $50, 900 IL the commissioner
had not detected them. but as none of
the snow removal bills resulting from
the last storm have been paid it is
believed the city has suffered no loss
In this instance at least.
Among the nine men under arrest Is
David Jacobs, foreman in the employ
Of Daley & Mclean, now removal con-
tractors, and James Cleary, foreman Of
the street cleaning department. Fred
erick A. Hogel, deputy street cleaning
commissioner OF the Borough OF the
Bronx, and William +. c.. Worth, fore
man OF the department, was suspended
by Commissioner Edwards and sub
pened to appear before the grand jury
today. All the existing contracts for
snow removal have been abrogated.

ly Introduction Of a bill by Represen-
tative Burke, Of Pennsylvania, to re-
quire %seagoing passenger vessels to be

the House committee on merchant
marine and fisheries today took 1t up

such a law as proposed into effect

Burke. mo such agreement Is neces-
sary. We have the same right to re-
quire wireless instruments as to re-
quire life preservers On ships. The
right to enter ports Is one WI can

CORPORATIONS MUST BE
CURBED. DECLARES SMITH

Above all, we must have a system OF
eflcient publicity. This Is the strong
est means Tor our purpose. .Efacient
publicity means that sort OF publicity
which reaches the average citizen UNI
der every day conditions. A perma-
nent ONCE, after collecting material.
must also summarize IL for the public.
In brief, clear and reliable conclusion,
showing important permanent corpo-
rate tendencies.
What Should 30 Done.
'The control by the federal govern-s
ment (of co~rporations) should be
broadened into a general constructive
system based on tested principles OF
supervision, publicity and co-opera-
ton. The details OF such a system In
its main features should be az follows:
TT should be operated by the fed
era government
TT should provide for a system OF
regular reports from the large inter
state corporations.
"Such government Office should have
access at all reasonable times to the
records and accounts OF such corpora
tons.
THAT office should publish concisely
the important facts disclosed. Its should
safeguard from publication all business
secrets. ...,-r.
Corporations complying with these
requirements should be given the adj
vantage Of q definite federal registra-
ton.
"The system should. II possible. be
voluntary.
Finally, supervision must be admin
istrattve. No other method has the
necessary fiexibility.
I'VE must have a system Of supervf-
sion which provides a working basis
for conference nj cooperation and
which does not rely merely on GRIM
inal procedure n opposition. There
Is not only a change In the attitude OF
business leaders. There Is also an
aroused and intelligent demand from
the public for fair business methods
and for equal commercial opportunity
for all. ..@
The future OF the nation must de-
pend largely upon the stability OF its
business machinery. That machinery
cannot be permanent or successful UNI
less 1t operates openly and Justly. II
must place and keep In control OF our
great commercial forces men who have
risen there solely by superior indus
trial efficiency. 1t must protect such
men from the competition of those who
get power by unfair and illegal meth
DDS and privileges-practices that rely
peculiarly on secrecy. To do this tho
government must have such supervi-
sion and control Of that corporate ma
chinery as will maintain in business
the fundamental American ideal oe
equal opportunity to ALL"

Commissioner Makes important
Report of Work in His
Bureau-The Standard
r.. oil Trial.

Washington, Feb. 5.-Commissioner
Herbert Knox Smith. Of the bureau
of corporations, today submitted to
Secretary Straus, Of the department Of
commerce and labor, the annual report
Of the operations of his bureau for the
year ended June 80, 1908. In all re-
spects It is the most important report
yet submitted by the bureau OF corpor-
Rtions. The work of the bureau dur
ing the last fiscal yea was more var
led than during any similar period since
the establishment Of the department of
m m labor. During the year
Commissioners Smith directed investi-
cations of many important industries
work, inquiries into the tobacco in
dustry, steel industry. international
Harvester company, lumber industry,
cotton exchanges and water transpor-
tation.
The most important legal work of
the bureau in the last fiscal year was
In connection with q bill for the amend
amount of work also was done in
aiding the department Of Justice in the
preparation for trial Of cases against
the Standard OIL company for alleged
practice Of determinations I'm railway

Tend to Concentration.
Discussing the general subject of
corporate regulation and control, Com
missioner Smith says:
There Is an irresistible movement
toward concentration in business. We
must recognize the fact hat indus
trial concentration In already largely
accomplished in spite Of general stat
utory prohibition. The aim Of new
legislation should be to regulate, rather
than to prohibit combination. 1t Is an
obvious absurdity to attempt to do
both at the same time, and prohibition
has practically failed. Dur present law,
~forbidding all combination, therefore
needs adaptation to the actual facts.
II we are to do anything effective with
the corporation question, we must make
an advance on our present legislation.
The practical object is to see that bus
mess opportunity n the highways of
commerce are kept equally open to
all; to prevent fraud, special privilege
and unfair competition To do this, we
must recognize concentration, supervise
1t and regulate 1t.

bomb was about to explode, fed to the
