Experts.

curried food should cultivate it at once
as it is said to be one of the reasons
why East Indians live so long

that all human nature requires to be
occasionally stimulated, and a mild
curry acts upon the torpid liver, reacts
upon the digestive organs and provides
the necessary Stimulant without in

WHY A SCHEME DIDN'T SUCCEED.

The Of Bernard n. Baker of Baltimore
recalls that Of the late Mr.. Molfatt Of Denver.
Mr.. Moffatt planned to build a railroad and
stacked up against the money trust. Mr. Baker
organized a company to establish a line of steam
ships between Atlantic and Pacific ports. The
financial experience of the two men was pre-
cisely similar.
The transcontnental railroads are owned by
the groups of tinanciers who control all
the large supplies of money. Mr. Baker, ship.
ping man of international reputation and founder
Of the Atlantic Transport company, found things
oging well with his company until he be-
sought the banks to subscribe
Subscriptions received and later with
drawn, with the explanation that the subscrib-
ers could not afford to antagonize certain inter-
estS; banking concerns that had offered their sup
port later refused it similar grounds, and
shipyards have been approached to prevent them
from building vessels for am independent steam
ship company.
While the railroad banking trust is ON the job
there will be Atlantic-Pacifc water competi-
ton, it is safe to say. The government must own
its own through steamship line, as it now owns
its New York and Colon service. 1t will be the
only way to insure competition and fair rates.
The Atlantic line has been a success. The
Pacific extension could be made so But even if
there doubt this latter point.
the only way Uncle Sam protect his sub
ectS from the eXactions Of the money trust is
| to establish the through water line. That need
not prevent searching investigation by con
gress of the things alleged by Mr.. Baker
