Trained Nurse and Ply
sician Will Give Moth
ers Instructions.

The first baby camp in Washington
will be opened this week in Rock Creek
Park under the direction of the Summer
Outings Committee. Swept by breezes

ing for baby's health from the trained
nurse, who will! be in constant attend
arce, and the physician who will make
daily visits.

PROTECTIVE TARIFF
BtAMED:FOR GROWTH
OF FB|GCORPORAT|ONS
Expert on Trust Question
Shows How Giant Con-
Germs Prosper by Law.

Ascribing the growth Of trusts and
combinations to the protective tariff,
John Moody, a well-known writer on
the trusts, has issued a statement in
which he treats in detail Of the man
ner in which the trusts have grown
in recent years. with special refer
ence to their growth under protection.
Mr.. Moody says:
AT the close of 1902, trust capi-
talization had leaped to s5,723,741, $50,
represented by 1876 industrial trusts,
which embraced no less than 1884
plants.
"At the end Of 1902 there was a
widely held theory that the trend to-
ward industrial consolidation had
reached it's limit. Subsequent events,
however, have proven the unsound-
ness of this idea. For steadily,
throughout every year of the past
decade, trust capitalization has con-
tinued to increase. BY the end Of
1905, the year in which Theodore
Roosevelt began his second Admins
tration, the figure had risen to $685.
891,760, and in the year when Mr..
Taft entered the White House a furt
ther expansion to 1880, ,004, 900 was
shown. And now, with Mr.. Taft clos
ing his term, We note that, notwith-
standing the so-called trust prosecu-
tions and the enforcement of the
Sherman law, the total Industrial
trust capitalization has reached the
total of $S,066, 290. SCI.
This, moreover, does not include
industrial concerns which are not
trusts. There areSthousands of man
ufacturing concerns enjoying the
benefits of the tariff which cannot be
included, strictly speaking, in any list
of trusts. The Governments Federal
corporation tax report for 1911 shows
that the total capitalization repre-
sented by Industrial concerns was
about $4,000, 100000. This includes
the many close corporations, concerns
of small capital which, while 'indus-
trial" are not trusts in the ordinary
understanding of the term.
ut Will be noted that the growth
OF trusts during Mr., Taft's Admins
complished since the enactment OF
the present Payne tariff law.
Industrial trusts, like franchise trusts
and railroad trusts, have all adopted
ton, of capitalizing, not only the origi
nal and current investment in the
plants and property. but also the me-
profits which can be shown. Thus, Il
Is apparent that in the case of those
trusts which have been built up chiefly
on tariff benefits, "a large part of the
net profits shown, and In some cases
two thirds or three-fourths of the prof
it's. are the direct result of the protec
tive, legislation which they have re-
ceived. -, ,.. -. . 5..'.

COMMISSION WANTS 1
PUBLIC DRIVERS TO
SECURE A LICENSE
Would Extend Surveillance
of Police to Carriages and
Prevent Overcharges.

The Commissioners are preparing for
submission to the Senate a bill urging
the adoption of the bill to license each
driver of public vehicle. The measure
passed the House July s. The principal
object of the measure is to extend the
surveillance of the police to the drivers
Of public vehicles in order that persons
who are Objectionable on account of
bad character. irresponsibility, or other
causes may be excluded from that occu-
patton.
To effect this II is proposed that each
driver be licensed and to require. In the
issuance of such license, that II shall
be on recommendation of officers Of the
Police Department.
The measure has the approval of
Major Sylvester. superintendent of
police, who for several years has urged
its adoption. THE enactment of law
licensing drivers upon favorable report
from the Police Department, would OBJ
viate overcharges and impositions by
dishonest drivers and authorize the cam
collation. of licenses held by unreliable
persons" said Major Sylvester .Tn-
stances have been brought to the at
patrons have been robbed, but through
fear OF publicity have refused to go to
court. The law proposed would elimi-
nate drivers and chauffeurs with bad
records"
Resolutions urging the adoption of the
law have been passed by the Hotel
Mems Association of Washington. Such
bill, the hotel men declare, would re-
move constant source of annoyance
arising from complaints of overcharges
made by guests. and would be a pro-
lection to the travelling public as well
as residents of the city.
Under present conditions the owners
Of public vehicles are licensed, but may
employ an indefinite number Of drivers
, regardless Of their reliability.

that such has not been the case. The
great enlargement in profits has for
the most part been accomplished by
price advances and not by cost cur
tailment.
Never In our history, perhaps Except
In war '~periods) has the price level
risen faster than 1t rose during the first
few years after the passage of the
Dingley tariff act In 1897, and during
the period when trusts were forming
most rapidly. From July l.. 1897. to jan
uary ], 1900 the cost of living ad-
vanced 81 per cent. From July 1, 1897.
to May l, 1902. the cost Of living ad-
vanced IL per cent That the trusts
were largely responsible for this great
advance is clear from the fact that
from July l. 1897, to January l, 1900. the
prices of foodstuffs lin which there are
but few trusts advanced but 20 per
cent. while the prices of metals, cloth
ing and miscellaneous products I'm

81 per cent. Notable advances occurred
In Steel trust productions, some OF
which more than doubled within one
or two years."

ably would permit the Madero govern

Inasmuch as the state department has
demanded that Mexico send enough
troops into northern Mexico to protect
Americans, it is assumed that the Unit

however, must first authorize the send

SO.

with the case.
One day the patient said 10 me,

of medicine, which was his last call.
A month or 80 afterwards neighbor
of his called and got bottle of the

was practically we'll man, attending
to his duties about his large farm.
I had given him the Neutralizing
Mixture which was remedy that I

Catarrh is a disease Of the mucous

Peruna is my remedy for all these

Peruna is not cure-au. I use it for

The above narrative is simply one Of
the many cases in my early practice
that brought me to comprehend the
wonderful efficacy Of Peruna in such a
variety of diseases. The kidneys may
be affected by other diseases than
catarrh, but the average case of kidney
disease is catarrh Of the kidneys. All
cases OF Bright's disease begin with ca
tarrh of the kidneys. This being true,
and it also being true that PeTuna Is
a catarrh remedy, it follows that a
great many cases of kidney disease
