DENIES IT IS HIS BILL
Mr.. Stanley Says One Pub
Iished in New York Paper Is
Brandeis Measure.

Cha rnan \. o. Stanley OF tic steel
trust Investigating committee denied to-
day that the publication in New York
newspaper of a bill purporting to be his,
which would amend the Sherman anti
trust law. was correct. lie said the bill
published was the Brandeis bill. which is
before the judiciary committees of both
houses. under the name of the La Toilette
bill in the Senate, and the Lenroot bill in
the House.
Il have taken the Brandeis bill and
used much of it said Mr.. Stanley. II
have changed the phrascoiosy of it con-
siderahly and have incorporated several
pages of definitions OF the terms of the
bill. These definitions are the keystone
of the entire structure.
The bill by Chairman Stanley transfers
the burden of proof from the government
to the defendants in trust cases. and puts
II up TO the corporations to prove that
their combination. If such is found, is not
.'unreasonabl BILE restraint of trade within

The Future Oyster.

From the New York Sun.
A recent meeting OF biological authori-
ties seeking to stop the waste of shellflsh
ard prov ide for the maintenance of oys
ter beds in a New England state brought
out one interesting suggestion as to the
increase of the food supply from oyster
beds of this country, which are rapidly
diminishing through everlasting and the
pollution of the waters by sewage. Balti-
more has set an example to the rest of
the country by so purifying its sewage
that the Maryland oyster beds in Chesa-
peake BAY are no longer impcriled. al
though the formerly productive fats Of
Boston harbor and even OF BuZZards bay
are now endangered. while everlasting
has entirely depleted t:.cts formerly as
profitable as the oyster beds OF North
Carolina. II is not only to these two
causes. but also TO the failure to take adj
vantage Of all the opportunities of Guilt
waiting oysters that the Inadequate supply
is at present due.
But i: was IN the means of Utilizing oyS-
tiers which under certain conditions might
contain the elements of pollution that the
NOVELTY of decreasing the cost OF living
Ian One OF the scientists who thought
that the food supply of this country might
at any time grow too small urges that
oysters should be so marked by the deal
ers that the consumer will know in what
form they are meant TO be used. High
priced oysters may be eaten raw. They
are taken from beds so pure that there
can be no danger of pollution. \ second

mean that they are to be perfunctorlly
boiled SO that they arc in reality little

any manner OF preparation that does not
cook them thoroughly.

does not seem probable a demand would

BABY'S TERRIBLE SUFFERING

when my baby was six months old,
his body was completely covered with
large sores that seemed to itch and
burn. and cause terrible suffering
The eruption began in pimples which
would open and run, making large
sores. His hair came out and finger
nails fell off, and the sores were over
the entire body, causing little or no
sleep for baby or myself. Great scabs
would come off when l removed his
shirt.
1--WE tried great many remedies,
but nothing would help him, till a
friend induced me to try the Cuticura
Soap and Ointment. / used the Cuti-
cura Soap and Ointment but short
time before | could see that he was
improving. and in six weeks time he
was entirely cured. He had suffered
about six weeks before we tried the
Cuticura Soap and Ointment, although
We had tried several other things, and
doctors, too. think the Cuticura Rem
edies will do all that is claimed for
them, and a great deal more"

l used to know the names of things,
! knew the birds and flowers,
knew the mystic charm that brings
The sunshine or the showers;
knew how whistles should be made,
How elm bark should be peeled,
/ knew a hundred games we played
In forest and in field
And o, to be boy again!
To know the simple joy again
OF yelling for an echo from the side
of some far hill,
To dive and come up shivering,
With lips all blue and quivering-
But to have been the first one i'm the
pond below the mill!
Today ] take things solemnly;
The wonder is all gone
No eerie whistle could call me
To go afield at dawn.
Two fingers V-wise have no lure,
l cannot trade a knife
With "cross-Iny- heart" and certain

Nor say ''You betcher hfe"-
And, 0, to be a lad again,
To have the fun had again.
To feel the spring sap rising in the

To start the day all cheerily
And meet the night all YEARLY,
Half-brute. half-boy, to revel in the
friendliness OF mud!

Inoffensive Creatures Most unJustly

A man who was caught in the act
of skinning a neighbours sheep, COW
cred his embarrassment by declaring
that no sheep could bite him and live
The logic of this is equaled by that
of the Yankee soldier who once mad a
narrow escape from an enraged gan
der. The men of a certain Maine regl'
ment, which was in the enemys coun-
try in 1862, considered the order mo
foraging" an additional and uncalled-
for hardship. One afternoon about
dusk, a soldier was seen beating a
rapid retreat from the rear of farm
house near by, closely pursued by a
gander with wings outspread, whose
feet seemed scarcely to touch the
ground, and from whose beak issued
succession of angry screams. The
fugitive was not treasured by the
cries of the gander's owner: Hold
on, man, hold on! He won't hurt
you!" Call off your gander! Can
him Off" shouted the fleeing soldier
Neither man nor gander stopped until
inside the camp lines, when the sol
diers friends relieved him of his
fierce pursuer with the aid of the butt
of musket. Did that gander think
he could chase me like that and live!
the soldier exclaimed, as he surveyed
the outstretched bird; but he said
nothing of the baited hook, with cod
line attached, which might have
thrown light on the unfortunate gan
der's strange actions.
