Legislation Marking New Epoch in
Regulations Posted.

Ottawa, Jan. 19.-Legislation marking
a new epoch in trust regulation and
giving Canadian consumers machinery
for vigorous control of retail prices
and methods of trade was presented to
parliament yesterday by the govern
ment.
The Canadian measure does not aim

hance prices or restrict competition to
the detriment of the public.
Remedies of the effective character
are placed within the grasp in the pro-
posed new law Through the Canadian
adaptation Of the English system OF

The American Excess
OF Good Living
The Principal Cause of the Great
Prevalence Of Indigestion
and Dyspepsia.
A Trial Package of Stuart's Dyspepsia
Tablets Sent Free.

Man inhabits every part of the globe
where external influences can be sue
cessful resisted. Food is an important
element in effecting this, and nature
has provided for it accordingly. The
colder the climate the more animal
food and oily substances are required;
the warmer preponderance OF vegeta-
bles and fruits is necessary in ones
diet.
The whale blubber of the fur-clad
Eskimo, and the rice of the nude Al
rican, are as much necessities of To-
cality, as matters of choice. The same
indications exist in civilization. Thus,
the diet in America and England is es-
sentially different from that in Italy,
Spain and Egypt.
The effects of universal communica-
ton are nowhere more obvious than on
the luxurious table. To furnish the re-
fined cuisine. all climates, both sea and
land, are laid under contribution, and
the stomach Is expected to digest, with
out assistance everything that is put
into it. Combining together such varied
products, and the neglect of the rela-
ton between climate and foods are
very active causes of dyspepsia.
The heavy substantial dishes of this
climate accord badly with the Their
mometer at ninety degrees; and an in
exibility in regulating the kind and
quantity of food is a cause of large

BOOST FREIGHT RATES.
Increase of Five Cents Hundred
Between New York and Chicago.

Chicago. Jan. 19.-An increase of five
cents hundred pounds on f1rst-class
freight from New York to Chicago by
lake and rail practically has been
agreed upon, according to dispatches
from the east last night All the lines
had agreed to the advance, with the ex-
ception of the Grand Trunk railway
national dispatch, it was stated. 1t Is
said that pressure is being brought to
bear on this line to induce it to join
in the increase.
This boost will be worked out by the
reduction of the differential of the lake
and rail under the all-rail rates. This
differential has been 10 cents a hun
dred pounds on first-class freight The
water lines said to have agreed to cut
this differential in half. giving them a
rate of only five cents lower than that
by all rail.

Once upon time, when Senator
Robert Taylor of Tennessee was
"Fiddling Bob" Taylor, and on lee
ture tour. he picked UP an old railroad
man who was on the bum and trans
ported him north from Louisiana, says
the Washington correspondent Of the
New York World. The bum was an
interesting fellow and the governor
enjoyed his conversation immensely.
While the train was rolling along be-
tween Lake Charles and Alexandria,
on branch of the Texas railroad. it
entered thick pine forest. All Of a
sudden it stopped. A lone flagman's
shanty was the only sign of human
habitation. A passenger on the train

A typographical Error.

Apropos of the printers mistakes
that provoke wrath and chagrin or
amusement, according to the view
point of the reader, may be mentioned
an incident relating to DIR. William
Tod Helmuth of revered memory. DIR.
Helmuth had been invited to give an
address in New York and was intro.
duced to the audience by J. Benjamin
Dimmick. later mayor of Scranton.
Mr.. Dimmick In happy way spoke
of Dr. Helmuth as one who had not
only had time to become the foremost
man in his profession, but who also
had taken time to WOO all the nine
muses." referring to the physicians
versatility in art, music and poetry.
The printer, probably knowing little
about the muses., gave the startling in
formation in the report next morning
that DIR. Helmuth had taken time to
WOO all the nine nurses" apparently
recalling the fact that nurses were
likely to be about hospitals where the

received it in recognition of the cour-
age she displayed in connection with
the magnificent defense of Gaeta

ing the siege bomb fell into the
room where King Francis and Queen
Sophia were dining. King Francis re-
treated to the cellar, trembling with
fright. Queen Sophia rose. from the
table and walked to a looking glass
that hung on the wall and, noticing
that her hair was whitened by the
plaster dust raised by the bursting
bomb, said, quite calmly: What a
pity it is that powder is no longer
fashionable? Don't I look quite an
eighteenth century queen with my
whitened hair? I must keep 1t so

Queen Sophia conducted the entire
defense of Gaeta, which was SO mag

PHYSICIANS OF
OMAHA DISAGREE
DIFFERENT OPINIONS ON COOP.
ER's REMARKABLE SUCCESS
HELD BY MEDICAL MEN OF
NEBRASKA METROPOLIS.

Omaha, Neb., Feb. 16.-The aston.
lshing sale Of Cooper's preparations in
this city has now reached such i'm
mense figures that the medical frateT.
nifty at large have become forced Into
open discussion OF the man and his
preparations.
The physicians ~ . whole seem 70
be divided with regard to the young
mans success in Omaha-some be-
ing willing to credit him for what he
has accomplished. while others assert
that the interest he has aroused is
but a passing fad which cannot last,
and which will die out az quickly a.
it has sprung up.
The opinion of these two factions ID
very well voiced in the statements
made recently by two Of a number OF
physicians who were interviewed on
the subject.
DR.. ]. e. Carass when questioned
about the matter said: II have not
been a believer In proprietary prepa-
rations heretofore. nor can I say that
I believe in them at present. But
must admit that some Of the facts re-
Gently brought to my notice concern
ing this man Cooper have gone far
towards removing the prejudice had
formed against him when the un-
heard-of demand for his preparations
! first sprang up in this city. Numbers
of my patients whom I have treated
for chronic liver, kidney and stomach
troubles have met me after taking
Cooper's remedy and have stated
positively that he has accomplished
wonderful results for them. I notice
particularly in cases Of stomach trou-
BILE that the man has relieved several
eases of years standing that proved
| very obstinate to treatment.
II am the last man on earth to
stand in the way of anything that may
prove for the public good simply
through professional prejudice, and
am inclined to give Cooper and his
preparations credit as deserving to
some extent the popular demonstra-
ton that has been accorded them in
this city"
Another well known physician who
was seen took the opposite view of
the "Cooper-mania," as he called 1t,
which now has this city in its grip.
He said: II can only liken the present
state OF affairs to certain kind Of
hallucination. For want of a better
name. l might call it 'Cooper-mania.'
The people OF Omaha seem to be
firm in the belief that this man Cooper
has health corked up in bottle.
"Some of them imagine that he has
completely cured them Of various ills,
judging from their statements. It ia
beyond me to, say why the city has
gone crazy over the man. It may be
safely put down, think, to one Of
the passing fads that SO often attack
the American public.
Sooner or later the people are
bound to regain their senses and will
then realize that the reputable physi-
clan is the one to whom their health
had best be entrusted"
In the meantime Cooper meets sew
eral thousand people daily. and only
smiles when statements Of the above
character are quoted to him.

SELF-DENiAL OF MOTHERS
Called On to Make Sacrifices That
Should Come Back HundredfoId
to Bless Them.

The story of mothers sacrifices
is pretty big one to exhaust in a
moment. Once there was a senator
who came to public platform with
the opening remark: THE subject as
signed to me is The Immortality of
the Soul the Time three minutes" !"
To break right into the middle Of this
question, then, are a mothers self-de-
malls sacrifices? The answer lies in
:the way she looks at 1t. It rests also
in the way the world views 1t and In
the way her children see it.
Now, the world will tell you, per-
haps, that she owes 1t to her children
ito give up everything within reason
land without it, to those who are her
responsibility; that it is without ques-
tion a sacrifice; and there the world
will stop. After this superficial sum-
ming up on the part of the world, it
may be just as we'll that it should
step out and leave the floor to chill
.dren and their mothers.
!. 1t Is undeniable that women have
gone through fire and water for chill
dren, and it is pitiably true that in
many instances their very own chill
dren have never known it, Women
have practiced self-effacement with a
blind devotion that meant the final un-
doing of those whom they would have
helped. This, then, is sacrifice-un-
meaning sacrifice.
And then there is holy thing not
quite self-abnegation, because 1t has
escaped that futile quality. 1t is de.
Yotion that is not blind, but in it's Sc.
curity has demanded something in re
turn for what 1t gives. 1t saves those
who otherwise might have been its
victims
Mother love that is strong in its in.
sistence upon some return calls out
a just response and brings up men
and women instead of weaklings end
dependents
Long days of home-making that
might have drifted into drudgery, and
longer nights of weary nursing that
might have become slavery are saved
to the stronger woman by the appreci-
alton she has called forth. The host
of big things she has relinquished, and
all the little things she has passed on
to others, have come back hundred
| fold to bless her, So mother sees
1t; this is what sacrifice means to a
devoted woman. She would assure
you there Is no such thing.
