LAT|0N OF MARKET
Is Chief Wi|ey's Summary Of Reports
Of Reduction Of Price Of Meats and
He Shows Up the Methods Of
People Controlling Situation.

Washington, Nov. 1.-THE So-called re-
duction in the price of meats is delib-
crate manipulation of the market, accord
ing to Dr.. Harvey w. Wiley, chief of the
of agriculture. He said here today:
THE interests which manipulated the
prices upward temporarily have released
the hold on our throats for the purpose
of getting a fresh grip. The so-called
reduction in meats is fictitious. Its ma
npulation was deliberate, just as the in
crease in prices was unjust, unreason-
able and uncalled for, for conditions pre-
vailing throughout the country. The
prices We're fictitious at the top notch
because they were forced there arbtra-
rily by the interests.
Developments will show that the in
tcrcsts are after someone. 1t may be
some independent movement they hope
to drive from cover
Secretary Wilson said today that the
announced reduction in prices was abnor-
NAL. lie said it was due to the fact that
the drought in the cattle raising country
had increased the cost of hay. The farm
er with cattle on his hands must pay So
q ton for his hay and rather than do
this he was sending his cattle and sheep
to market. This accounted for the sud
den tumble in prices. he said.
''rhis tumble is not all normal and will
not all be permanent declared Secreta

London, Nov. liking George sum-
moned the priVy council to meet today,
presumably for the purpose of obtain
ing the advice of privy councillors re-
garding his course in the matter of
giving Premier Asquith guarantees to
increase the number of peers sufficient
to support the government in its policy
of reforming the House of Lords. This
summons brought together the leaders
of both parties. The cabinet also held
sessions today.
The impression is widespread that
at the meeting with Premier Asquith
and the privy councillors the King
suggested that the bill be sent in due
coufS" to the upper chamber for con-
sideration. This probably conceded
With Mr.. Asquith's personal wishes.
The Earl of CreWe did not place any
spcciic limit on the length of the de-
bate on the veto bill, but said that the
government later would consider when
the second reading of the measure
should be taken. Lord LanSdownc, the
opposition leader thus scored the first
point in the political game and dis
organized the governments original

tangible to show how long the day
may be deferred.
The Earl of CrcWc declared that he

the bandits open the bag containing the
money alleged to have been taken from
Landregan and Carroll. The men did not
divide the money, the witness said. bu.
each would reach his hand into the bag

WALSH CASE NEARING THE END
Final Move Expected to Be Made
Monday.

Chicago, Jan. S.-The final move in
the settlement between John R. Walsh
and the Chicago clearing house banks
probably will be taken today or Mon
day.
Edward C. Ritsher, Walsh's coun-
sci. announced yesterday that the con-
tract Walsh is to sign is being drawn
up. and the convicted bankers sigma
ture probably will be affixed to it
not later than Monday.
The decision of the United States
supreme court on Walsh's petition for
certiorari is likely to be handed down
about the same time. If the decision
is against Walsh, the court of appeals
is expected to hand its mandate over
to the district court without delay.
The logical action to follow is the
issuance of a capias by the district
court clerk, and on this and the au-
thority of the mandate Walsh will be
taken to the federal prison at Leayen-
worth, Kansas.

farmers institute at Geneva yesterday
a surprise when she told them about

When a questioner asked her to what

swered, because I am a woman"
Mrs. Durand caused surprise when
she said her profits from a herd of
sixty cows was $4,000 last year.
Asked what she did with the money,
she said she spent it in keeping free
kindergarten in Chicago.
ct became interested in the ques-
ton of good milk for babies and the
more I tried the more fascinated I
became. The outrages perpetrated
upon the people by careless and

that I would show them how to run
dairy and make money and at the
same time make the dairy barn as
clean and wholesome as my own

The Annoyance
OF FIatulenCe
Many People Are Annoyed With Gas
In The Stomach and Intestines.
A Trial Package of Stuart's Charcoal
Lozenees Sent Free.

F'latulence is due to the presence of
gas in the stomach and intestines,
which often rolls about, producing bor-
borygmi, or rumbling noises in the in
testinal system. and causes the victim
of this trouble considerable embarrass-
ment, when such noises occur while in
company.
An analysis of gas from the stomach
shows that it consists to a great extent
of nitrogen and carbonic acid. 1t is
therefore probable that some of the
gas in the stomach consists simply of
air which has been swallowed, although
for the most part, the source of fiatu-
lence is the gas given off from the food
in the abnormal processes of decompo-
sition.
In cases of chronic gastric catarrh,
the secretion of gastric juice in the
stoach is deficient. the food is di-
gested slowly, and fermentation oc-
ours with the evolution of gas.
Swallowed air. however, plays more
important part in causing f1atulence, or
gas in the stomach and intestines than
is generally supposed, and while food
may be swallowed without carrying
air into the stomach with it, fluids. es-
pecially those of a tenacious character,
such as pea-soup, appear to carry down
great deal
F'latulent distension of the intestines
occurs when a large amount of gas or
air. either swallowed or evolved from
the decomposition of food, escapes from
the stomach into the intestineS through
the pylorus. The enormous distension
of the intestines and dilatation of the
stomach with gases. and the rapidity
with which such f1atulence occurs. has
| long been a puzzle to medical men, and
| has led some to think that the only
| possible explanation thereof. is rapid
evolution of gas from the blood.
| In the, treatment of gas in the stom-
| ach and intestines, charcoal Is cons1d-
cred by most physicians as the Leading
| and most effective remedy. Carm1na-
| tives or medicines, such as pepper
mint, cardamom, sodium bicarb., etc,
which expel the gas from the stomach
| in large volumes through the mouth
are resorted to by some people. but
| their use is disagreeable, and the fire.
quent expulsion of gas through the
mouth, most annoying, and after tax

| belching or expelling stomach gases
| through the mouth, by completely alb
