ALL THEY WANTED WAS PIE
Something Of a Pity That All Labor
Troubles Cannot Be Settled a.
Easily as This.

In the course of some light-hearted
comment on the decision of the au-
thorities of a woman's college in west
ern Massachusetts, to Danish pie from
the girls midday meal. the New York
Sun recalls the following incident of
an earlier day in a neighboring region:
Some twenty years ago New York
contractor was employed to build a
fine country house in the Berkshire
hills. The laborers. who were recruit
ed from the neighboring villages. were
boarded at nearby farmhouses. Be-
fore long they all went out on strike.
The superintendent in charge was
powerless. The contractor hurriedly
shires, and on arriving. Immediately
demanded an interview with the lead
ers of the strike.
Whats the matter" he demanded.
Whats your grievance"
We're underfed," said the spokes-
man. You can't expect US to work
on empty stomachs. The company
has got us here. 1t ought to see that
we are decently fed"
1.-The company pays enough to have
you properly fed" said the builder.
What Is the trouble?"
I'VE don't get pie but once a day"
said the spokesman.
"Abominable!" agreed the builder.
You shall have pie three times a
day" And they did. and there was
an end of that strike.-Youth's Com
panion.

PHYSICIAN ADVISES
CUTICURA REMEDIES

-Four years ago had places break
out on my wrist and on my shin which
would itch and burn by spells. and
scratching them would not seem to
give any relief When the trouble first
began, my wrist and shin itched like
poison. would scratch those places
until they would bleed before could
get any relief. Afterwards the places
would scale over. and the flesh un-
derneath would look red and feverish.
Sometimes 1t would begin to itch until
1t would waken me from my sleep.
and I would have to go through the
scratching ordeal again.
Our physician pronounced 1t dry
eczema" l used an ointment which
the doctor gave me. but 1t did no good.
cura Remedies. AS this trouble has
been in our family for years. and II
considered hereditary. I felt anxious
to try to head 1t off. got the Cuti-
cura Soap. Ointment and Pills, and
they seemed to be Just what needed.
THE disease was making great
headway on my system until l got
the Cuticura Remedies which have
cleared my skin of the great pest.
From the time the eczema healed four
years ago, until now. have never felt
any Of its pest, and am thankful to
the Cuticura Soap and Ointment which
certainly cured me. I always use the
Cuticura Soap for toilet, and | hope
other sufferers from skin diseases will
use the Cuticura Soap and Ointment"

Melting snow Swell Dolores River.

Durango.-All freight and passenger
traffic on the Rio Grande Southern
between this city and Telluride has
been abandoned indefinitely owing to
the washing out OF a large section of
track by the swollen Dolores river be-
tween Dolores and Rico.
So much of the roadbed has been
washed away and so rapidly Is the
river rising that there is no telling
when conditions will be normal. 1t
is feared that thousands of dollars
worth of damage will result to the
roadbed
The warm weather of the last week
has caused all the rivers in the San
Juan basin, the San Juan, the Piedra,
the Pine, the Florida, the Animas, the
La Plata, the .Mancos and the Dolores
TO rise rapidly.

HEALTH FOR THE CHILD.

The careful mother, watching close
ly the physical peculiarities of hel
children, soon learns that health is in
great measure dependent upon nor.
NAL. healthy, regular bowel action.
When the bowels are inactive, loss OF
appetite. restlessness during sleep, ir.
ritability and a dozen and one similar
evidences of physical diso;d der are soon
apparent.
Keep the bowels free and clear and
good health is assured. At the first
sign of constipation give the child a
teaspoonfuI of DR.. Caldwell's Syrup
Pepsin at bedtime and repeat the
dose the following night, If necessary.
You will find the child will quickly re-
cover its accustomed good spirits. and
eat and sleep normally.
DR.. Caldwell's Syrup Pepsin is far
preferable to salts, cathartics and
purgative waters which are harsh in
their action. Syrup Pepsin acts on
the bowels easily and naturally, yet
positively, and causes no gripping or
discomfort. Its tonic properties build
up the stomach, liver and bowels, re-
storing their normal condition.
Druggists everywhere sell DR.. Cald-
wells Syrup Pepsin in SOC and $1.00
bottles. II you have never tried this
REMEDY, send for a sample to DR.. w.

RECEIVER TO SELL TEN-MiLLION.

Western Newspaper Union News Service.
New York.-Attorney General Wick
ersham has moved against, the So
called coffee trust, or Brazilian cor
nering scheme. In petition in equity
filed in the United States Court here.
the plan is declared to be violation
of the Sherman antitrust law.
The court is asked to decree the
scheme unlawful. to enjoin the corner
ing committee from Withholding cof-
fee from the market, and to appoint a
receiver to sell the 100000 bags, val
ued ut $10,000,000 now alleged to he
stored in warehouses of the New York
Dock Company.
The government also applied for a
temporary Injunction restraining the
cornering committee from removing or
disposing of coffee held in America
pending the termination of the issue.
The members of the committee have
agreed and conspired among them
selves. the government charges, to
withhold from the market large guam
titles of coffee under their control for
the purpose of raising the price to an
unnatural and unreasonable extent
They have thus attempted, 1t is de-
clared. to restrain the coffee trade
throughout the world. including inter
state and foreign commerce of the
United States. and ito injurel and de-
fraud the public for their own enrich
ment"
The suit has a distinctly interna-
tional color. The Brazilian state of
Sac Paulo. the greatest coffee district
in the world is party to the agreement
which are declared unlawful in Amer
lea.
The government holds that the Bra
lillian state was induced to enact laws
and enter into agreements in connec-
tion with the cornering plans by those
interested in the maintaining and ip-
-creasing the price of coffee. The fact
that the alleged agreements and con-
;spiracies were not unlawful in Brazil
and were participated in by foreign
state. the government holds. can not
justify the commission of any act in
the United States to restrain trade.
