Albany, N. Y.-Every member of
the legislature received a valen-
tine. On all was the picture of a
lonely woman on pedestal looking
toward the capitol. Clinging to her
skirts were an unsightly crew labeled

PR0BERS INSPECT
A STORAGE PLANT
FIND 1T COSTS A DOLLAR, ALL
TOLD, TO STORE A BARREL OF
APPLES OR POTATOES.
Rentals for Market Stalls Considered
Farmers Complaints to Be
Heard-other State News
of Interest.

Z Columbus, O.-Members of the leg
islative food probe committee the 9TH
err day learned of the prices charged
for storing foods, which it is claimed
boost the cost of living, when they
visited the Crystal Ice Manufacturing
and Cold Storage Co.'S plant - here,
where they found stored for higher
prices 10000 barrels of apples, several
thousand barrels onions, turnips and
other vegetables. The produce is
owned by commission men and 9th
ers, not by the storage company.
Every time the middleman sends
mis- goods to be held in storage bur
den of nearly 81 on each 2h-bushel
barrel is placed on the consumer, ac-
cording to figures obtained. The stor-
age charge is 80 cents a season,
freight adds another 80 cents. while
the handling runs the total up to 81.
The Crystal was the only storage
plant visited
The probers visited Columbus mar
kets. Preliminary to this inspection,
the probers learned from the market
master that the city's income from
rents of market stalls aggregated $27,-
900. while the operating cost was only
$4,000. 1t was suggested that if the
rents were reduced TO eliminate the
city's $4,000 profit, the consumer
might be benefited through cheaper
retail prices.
Chairman Williams asked for fig
ures showing the volume of business
on the market, to compare with the
aggregate income from rents.
At the request of Attorney NJ. E
Thrailkill, representing the Franklin
[ County Farmers union, the commit
Tee decided to summon farmers tC
hear their complaints.
The market master said that the
hucksters' license law does not apply
directly to farmers and that they
could sell direct to consumers withou
paying the $25 fee, but that the time
necessitated to peddle made this i'm
possible. AS result, he said, farm
ers sell to professional hucksters, who
add their $25 license fee to theiI
profit, and the consumers bear the
burden.
thorough investigation will b,
made of conditions here before thu
probers look into other cities.

coIIeqe Man Flows over.

Chicago, Ill.-The college man as
a subject of religious missionary
work has been placed in class by
himself. Prof. Mathews of the Uni
versity of Chicago told the Methodist
ministers here that the average col
lege man becomes educated above his
opinions of the church SO that he
flows over. "The college man has a
mistaken idea that all of his educa
ton is hostile to Evangelical Chris
tianity, when as matter of fact
with the aid of his education, he IL

Farmers, Union Attacks Probe.

Declaring that it will cause a loss
of confidence and work to the detri-
ment of both producer and consumer
by curtailing production, the Jefferson
branch of the Farmers union has
adopted resolutions condemning the
Williams food probe as a useless en-
travagance of public funds" The JEFF
ferson branch also criticises the at
tack on cold storage plants.
OF the middleman and his profits
they say: again, as an intelligent
farming people, we believe there is
little easy money between the soil
and the mouth of the consumer" High
rents for market stalls are attacked
Any change in the oleo law is op-
posed and continued protection for
quill is demanded.

EOW TO CURE RHEUMATISM.
Il is al Internal Disease and Requires
an Internal Remedy.

The cause of rheumatism and kin
dred diseases is an excess of uric acid
IN the blood. To cure this terrible
disease this acid must be expelled
and the system so regulated that no
more acid will be formed in excess
i've quantities. Rheumatism is an in
ternal disease and requires an inter-
nal remedy. Rubbing with oils and
liniments will not cure, affords only
temporary relief at best, causes you
TO delay proper treatment, and al
lows the malady to get firmer hold
on you. Liniments may ease the
pain, but they will no more cure the
rheumatism than paint will change
the fibre of rotten wood.
Science has at last discovered a
perfect and complete cure, which is
called "Rheumacide." Tested in
hundreds of cases, it has effected
the most marvellous cures; we be-
lieve it will cure you. "Rheumacide
'*gets at the joints from the inside, :"
sweeps the poisons out of the system,
tones up the stomach, regulates the
liver and kidneys and makes you
well all over. Rheumacide strikes
the root of the disease and removes
It's cause" This splendid remedy is
sold by druggists and dealers gen
