TO EXTEND INSPECTION LAW.
Move in House to Have It Include Milk,

Washington, May l6.--A .sew phase
in the legislative and administrative con-
troversy of the meat inspection laws has
developed because of the introduction by
Representative Smith Of Texas of bill
described as aiming ito regulate the in
terstate foreign shipment of milk, but

TO have been drawn up under the inilu-
ence of the cattle raisers and the pack

intended as a baekiire against Repre-
sentative Nelson, author OF the resolu-
ton in obedience to which the House
committee on expenditures in the de-
partment of agriculture is now inquir-

representatives of the department OF ag-

ELDERLY FOLKS! CALOMEL, SALTS
AND CARTHARTICS AREN'T FOR YOU
Harmless gentle Syrup of Figs best to cleanse your stom
ach liver and 30 feet of bowels of sour bile, decay
ing food, gases and clogged-up waste.

You old people, Syrup of Figs is
particularly for you. You who don't
exercise as much as you need to; who
like the easy chair. You, whose steps
are slow and whose muscles are less
elastic. You must realize that your
liver and ten yards of bowels have also
become less active.
Don't regard Syrup of Figs as physic.
1t stimulates the liver and bowels Just
as exercise would do if YOU took enough
of it. 1t is not harsh like salts or
catharties. The help which Syrup OF
Figs gives to torpid liver and weak,
sluggish bowels is harmless, natural and
gentle.
When eyes grow dim, you help them.
Do the same with your liver and bow
els when age makes them less active.
There is nothing more important. Cos
tive, clogged-up bowels mean that de-
caying, fermenting food is clogged there

SpauIding High Defeated Mont
peIier High, 10 to 3, Yesterday
BY LUsN STICK SWINGS
Williams Pitched Good Game for Spauld-
ing, Especially With Men on Bases
The Lairds Were Not Puzzling
to Opponents.

BY hitting the ball fully as hard as
the day before, fielding cleaner and run
ming the bases with more discretion,
Spaulding high school won its second
consecutive game of the week when it
annexed the return game with Mont
pelier high school yesterday afternoon
at Intercity park by the score of 10 to 3.
The first game betweenthe rival schools
was played in this city about week
ago and resulted in victory for the
ball tossers from the Capital city by a
narrow margin. A third contest be-
tween the two schools to settle any in
gertrude in the minds of their follow
ers as to the relative merits of the mines
will probably be pulled off at the old
league grounds next week. The exact
date of the conflict has not yet been
mutually agreed on by the managers.
Williams, Spaulding's new acquisition
to the pitching staff, who performed the
opening six rounds of the Montpelier
seminary game, was sent to the firing
line again yesterday by Coach Ed
wards. Although hit for as many safe
ties as the twirlers of the opponents,
he excelled them with men on bases. He
kept his hits well scattered and had
wonderful control, only passing one man.
The first two runs made off Williams
came in the fourth, when Tomasi let f.
Lairds grounder get through him, the
men on third and second scoring. The
other counter was the result of two clean
drives in the eighth. In the fourth
with men on second and third and none
out, he frightened and demonstrated his
ability. The next man famed. the sec
ond popped a foul to catcher and the
third was out on an easy assist to 0g-
stem.
j. Laird was on the rubber at the
opening of the game for the Montpelier
outfit and lasted seven sessions before
he gave way to his brother, +. Laird.
Neither was able to check the Barre
sluggers when hits meant runs.
There were many fielding stunts which
made favorable impressions on the spec
tators. AT third Ogsten accepted five
chances without miscue, many of them
difficult stops. A double play in the
opening round by f. Laird Bartlett and
Smith checked Spauldings batting rally
and probably STAYED off several runs.

gled, they were off with the crack OF
the bat to complete the circuit. Not
once was a man caught at home on the
play. Williams led the local team with
the stick yesterday; three singles out of
four times up went down to fatten his
batting average Tomasi was the only
man on the team that was unable to
fathom the Laird brothers twisters.
Following the example of the opening
of Tuesdays contest, the sons of Jacob
Spaulding laid the game away in the
first two chapters by making four inser-
tions on their tally sheet. In the sew
enth and eighth innings, six more
Spaulding warriors wormed their way
to the plate, dispelling all hopes of
victory for the Montpelier boys. The

CENTER OF THE EARTH.
II May Be Mighty Mass Of Molten
Precious Metals.

Did you ever stop to consider the
fact that in all probability the center
Of the earth Is a globe composed Of
gold, iridium and platinum? These
metals are, of course, in liquid state.
the iridium at the exact center-that is.
provided there is not some heavier
metal at present unknown to man oc-
cupying that place--the platinum next
and the gold surrounding the other
two.
But" you say, "what proof have we
that this proposition is correctT
In answer / would say:
1.-TWO proofs, and perhaps more"
First, the three metals are the heav-
lest known substances, compared bulk
for bulk. This being the case, they
would naturally be attracted to the
center of our planet In the beginning
the earth was liquid, If not gaseous.
In either case the heavy metals men
toned were held in solution. BY grad
ual condensation the metals settled to
the center, iridium first, platinum next
and gold last.
Ages ago, when the crust of the earth
was thin--very thin-all of the gold
now known was thrown out in volcan-
ic eruptions. This last mentioned fact
Is the second reason for believing that
our globe has a golden center, woven
around a nucleus of iridium and plad-
mum.
A third reason for believing that
there is gold at the center is this: The
earth as a whole weighs FIVE times as
much as a globe of water of the same
bulk, while the rocks forming the out
er crust are less than three times as
heavy as water.-St. Louis Globe DEM

TO PALE THIN PEOPLE
Druggist d. F. Davis Offers to Pay for
Samose If 1t Does Not Make
Thin People Fat.

Pale, thin people are simply suffering
from want of nourishment. They may
est enough, but their food is not properly
digested and does them no good.
Samose, the remarkable flesh-forming
food, should be used by all who are pale,
weak and thin. 1t mingles with the food
and aids assimilation, so that when TAX
en- for short time, nature will soon
assert her normal powers, and the food
that is eaten will give strength and good
flesh.
The woman who longs for rosy cheeks
and the plumpness of beauty should use
Samose. The man who wants te be
strong and well and gain health aud good
flesh will find his desires accomplished
by Samose.
Such remarkable results have followed
the use of Samose that Druggist ID. f..
Davis is willing to pay for the treat
ment if it does not give the desired re-
suits. He makes this offer generally
and wants all who are thin, weak and
out of health to get a box OF Samose
from him ON those terms.

to Asher X. Johnson of Bradford, as
follows:
"Under these circumstances ! do not
hesitate to ask you TO pledge yourself
to vote for Speaker Clark on the second
ballot if one is necessary, Should there
be any personal reason which makes it
inexpedient at this time for you to pub
lcly announce your support, We win re-
spect your wishes and refrain from max
ing your pledge public. Your pledge of
support if You so desire will be made
known only to Speaker Clark and his
general campaign manager, Senator Du.

serious reflection and join with us while
the opportunity is afforded you. Many
of the delegates of Pennsylvania have
already Joined our ranks, some have
pledged themselves for the first and some
for the second ballot. though / doubt
whether second ballot will be neces-
sary, for Speaker Clark's nomination on
the first ballot seems most probable"
Mr. johnson in his reply. while admit
ting the virtues of the speaker and rat
ing him as his second choice, adds that
he fails to understand the purpose OF
the Clark boomers or why an honest or
honorable man should be expected to
pledge something secretly that he would
not pledge openly. Neither do | quite
