indicted.
The beginning of the investiga-
ton against the defendants arose
from complaints registered with the
Interstate Commerce Commission
during the summer, to the effect
that the Miller firm had effectively
destroyed competition in grain
shipments over an enormous terri
tory embracing points along the
Mississippi and Ohio rivers, and in
the South Atlantic States.
The first connection of the rail
roads and the Millcrs arose during

were responsible for shipments to
the South over both the railroads

steamship company at rates much
less than those on file with the
commission.
In addition 10 this infraction OF
the law, it was found that grain

points enjoyed the export rates in
stead of domestic, ard Il saving of
from one 10 three cents on each

MIX THIS FOR RHEUMATISM
Easily Prepared and inexpensive and
Really Does the Work, Says
Noted Authority.

Thousands Of men and women who
have felt the sting and torture of that
dread disease, Rheumatism, which is
no respecter Of age, persons, sex,
color or rank, will be interested to
know that it is one Of the easiest af-
: fiictions of the human body to con-
quer. Medical science has proven 1t
not a distinct disease in itself, but a
symptom caused by inactive kidneys.
Rheumatism is uric acid In the blood
and other waste products of the sys-
tenn which should be filtered and
strained out in the form of urine. The
function of the kidneys is to sift these
poisons and acids out and keep the
blood clean and pure. The kidneys
however, are of sponge-like substance,
the holes or pores of which will some
times, either from overwork, cold or
exposure become clogged, and failing
in their function of eliminating these
poisons from the blood, they remain
in the veins, decompose and settling
about the joints and muscles, cause
the untold suffering and pain Of rheu-
matism and backache, often producing
complications of bladder and urinary
disease, and general weakness.
The following simple prescription Is
said to relieve the worst cases OF
rheumatism because of its direct ac-
tion upon the blood and kidneys, re-.
lieving, too, the most severe forms Of
bladder and urinary troubles: Fluid
Extract Dandelion, one-half ounce;
Compound Kargon, one ounce; Com
pound Syrup Sarsaparilla, three
ounces. Mix by shaking we'll in bot
tie and take in teaspoonful doses after
each meal and at bedtime. The in
gradients can be had from any pre-
scription pharmacy, and are absolutely
harmless and safe to use at any time.

RED CROSS SEAL IN HISTORY
First Used During the American Civil
War-Now an Aid In Fight
Ing tuberculosis.

Red Cross Christmas seals date
back in their origin to charity
stamps" first used for the soldiers
relief funds in Boston in 1862, during
the Civil war. After the war, this
method of raising money was discon-
tinued in this country for genera
ton, although 1t found vogue In Por-
tugal, Switzerland, Australia, France,
Spain, Denmark, Norway, Russia,
Sweden and other European coun-
tries. There are now several hun
dred different types of charity stamps
used in all parts of the world.
+ Stamps or seals were first used to
get money for the anti-tuberculosis
crusade In Norway and Sweden in
1904. After being used in these coun-
tries for three years, as a direct re-
suit of the interest Of Jacob Riis In
this movement, the Delaware Anti
tuberculosis association, headed by
Miss Emily P. Bissell, and the led
Cross society of Delaware combined
in Issuing a tuberculosis stamp. So
successful was this campaign that
nearly $4,000 was realized, and the
next year, in 1908, the American Red
Cross was induced to issue national
Red Cross tuberculosis stamp. From
this sale, $135,0O0 was realized, that
amount Icing almost doubled in 1909.
This year, for the first time, the sale
