FROM FOREIGN FIELDS.

In Toxic there are 53S poor mems
lodged in a room with a superficial
area of three feet by six. If the trav'
eler be better off and requires more
cubic feet OF inn he can obtain an
apartment the same length, but dou-
BILE the breadth, and if he be more fas-
tidious he can have the luxury of an
apartment six feet by nine. The low
est cost of a nights lodging is S sen.
Researches of two French scientists
show that no less than 100000 mi
crobes per cubic yard were found in
the air of the room at a recent exhi.
bition Of pictures in Paris. Tests
made show that the crowded down
town section Of Paris each cubic yard
of atmosphere contains an average OF
$4,000 microbes. The highest figures
for the open air come from the fash
ionable avenue of the Bots de Boulo
gne, where on a dusty Sunday after
noon a total of $4,000 microbes per
cubic yard were found.
The ripples of the Chinese revolu
ton are being felt in the British
Crown Colony of Hong Kong with its
100000 Chinese population. When
the fall Of Picking was falsely reported
there was a demonstration among the
Chinese such as had never before
been witnessed. Hundreds of Chin.
csc Topped off their pigtails - the
symbols of serfdom imposed by the
Manchus-piled them up in a motor
car, stuck a revolutionary flag in the
midst, and made tour of the city,
those on board the car cheering and
making frenzied declarations.
III some parts Of India the sheep
is used as burden bearer. The foot.
hills Of the Himalayas, are so precip.
itious that the sheep, more sure.foot.
ed than larger beasts, are preferred
as burden bearers. The load for each
sheep is from sixteen to twenty
pounds. The sheep are driven from
village to village with the wool still
growing, and in each town the farm.
er shears as much wool as he can sell
there and loads the sheep with the
grain he receives in exchange. After
his flock has been sheared he turns it
homeward, each sheep having on its
back a small bag containing the pur.
chased grain.

It is natural for a child to laugh and nlay and when it sulks drowsily or cries you may depend on it something physical is the matter. If you see no evidences of serious ailment you will not be wrong if you quietly give it a dose of mild laxative that evening on putting it to bed.
 The remedy most generally recom- mended for this purpose is pr. Cald- wells Syrup Pepsn, which mothers throughout the country have been giving their children for quarter of a cen tury. Today thousands of families are using it where hundreds used it then, and there must be good reason for this word of mouth recommendation.

NATL PACKING co. TO QUIT
Packers Forced Out by Government- Dissolution Planned Benefit to
 interests and Government.

Washington, June 19.-The govern ment apparently has won it's fight against the beef trust. Representa- tives of the allied packing companies notified the attorney general that in the face of steps taken to force their dissolution, they would dissolve vol untayily. They asked for time until August 1 In which to decide upon a program of dissolution, such as may prove satisfactory to all the interests as we'll as to the government. This was granted and action on the pro posed civil suit will be suspended un- til that time.
 Arrangements with the packers were made by District Attorney Will kerson at Chicago Monday. A bill in equity had been filed some time ago, but later dismissed. A new draft was nearing completion.
 Representatives of the National Packing company, according to an of ficial statement by the attorney gen. eral, informed Mir Wilkerson that it was the purpose of the Armour, Swift and Morris interests, which jointly own the corporation, to wind up its business and dispose of its assets. The National Packing company is a $15,O00,0 corporation.

After the war thousands of widows

out miserable existences, and those in
rags who survive are allowed a pit
tauce called a pension, only CROUCH to
cause them to ignorantly vote for
those who wear the gold buttons and
draw huge pensions.
Hurrah for Moons vote on the pen
sion increase bill. even if he was play
ing politics
What money is put in circulation by
pensions the money lenders will be
shorn of that much interest, for the
war Of the sixties firmly established
which is so much loved by both par
ties.
| am not in favor of pensiouing the
Yankees for numbering our fathers and
establishing the dishonest system of
banking and its child wage slavery,
for they, like my own father, didn't
know what they were fighting for.
They were forced into the war by
their economic masters. They we're
not responsible, but were obeying the
powers, which had the dollar between
them and everything else, consequent
ly we have now the hardest form of
slavery the world has ever known as a
result of bireling preachers. Social
ism opposes war and contends for the
brotherhood of man, which leads me
to the thought, when we can work no
more, what then2 When old Father
Time has robbed us of ability to work,
and our days of usefulness are over,
the government should step in and say,
we will not leave you to starve, or
dump you on the cold charities of an
unfriendly world, but we intend to
see that your last days may be your
happiest, without respect to race, col
or or creed.
Pensioning the boys who did the
fighting and made it possible for the
few to become millionaires, will only
be restoring part of what has been
stolen from them, and especially those
who have spent their lives in produc-
ing good things for society.
Let us have old age pensions, too,
but prefer to call this old age restor-
alton. What is given as pensions kills
so much interest. Let 'em come.
