Commenting upon the alleged combine.
John w. Hayes, master workman of the

These capitalists who propose to form
this combination soften the villainy Of 1t
by saying: The merger will end with the
purchasing and distributing OF the sup
plies; and the various bakers will con-
tinue to take their own brands and dis
tribute them as at present. TO have
cut down the size OF tho loaf or reduce
its quality or to have raised the price
per loaf would have caused a further
dropping off in the bakers business, and
the bakers had to cast about for a new
plan which is now being put through :"
1t is explained the new plan is to or
ganize a buying combination ''or
pool which will purchase all OF
the supplies used by the bakers
who are In the movement, the pool
buying in enormous quantities. such as
purchasing the entire output OF single
mill or the entire butter products OF

FREAK TREASURY NOTES.

Despite the careful scrutiny

a number of freak" notes find

one side and of ten on the other.
But, inasmuch as the face showed
the figures 20, $50 was the legal
value of the bill.
In most cases the freak" bills
that have escaped the vigilance OF
the bureaus officers are national
banknotes, which, like the regular
treasury notes, are printed there.
AS intimated already, the face
value is always recognized when
the "feaks" come to be cashed at
any branch of the treasury. The
imprint on the back has no lawful
status whatsoever. g.. "A,
The notes are printed in sheets,
Usually there will be one twenty
and two tens on a sheet. They are
printed one side at time, so it
can ready be seen that the printer
in turning over the sheet might
get it upside down and thus put
ten dollar back on the twenty
dollar note or a twenty on the
back of one of the tens.
When errors are discovered the
misprinted sheet is laid aside to be
destroyed 1t cannot be torn up at
once, for every sheet has to be
accounted for. After some form
alities 1t is ground into pulp.

have been issued in the, past have

Catarrh Cannot be Cured

by local applications asthey can

the ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness, and that is by con-

caused by an infamed condition of
the mucous lining of the Eustachian

you have a rumbling sound or i'm
perfect hearing, and when it is

suit, and unless the inflammation
can be taken out and this tube re
